16 THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1897. TARD HAY NOT | DEFEND HINSELF Will Probably Be Held and Then Resort to Haheas Corpus. ' His Attorney Is Still Confident That He Can Free the Briton, Mrs. Bradbury Did Not Appear for Hearing Yesterday, Being Still Too IIL Mrs. John Bradbury did not respond when her name w led in Police Judge Low's court yesterday,so her examina- tion on the charge that she had carried | on illicit relations with H. Russell Ward openly and notoriously was continued un- til Monday. In the meantime the fate of Ward will probably be decided. At the conclusion of the evidence for the prosecution Thurs- | day evening in the case of the Briton Judge Low said distinctly thet he consid- ered the man guilty dded that be- fore passing final judzment he would give Ward an opportunity to present some tes- timony in his defense. This opportunity w his morning. That if he chooses to profit by it. There seems to be a question as to whether he will or not. So far as is known about the only showing he can make is by taking the witness-stand himself, und it is under- stood that his attorney is opposed to this. Still he may do i, as the matteris not set- tied. There is a probability that Ward’s case will be submitted offhand, so that he can be formalily held to answer before the Su- perior Court, and then resort will be taken to the law of haveas corpus. Attorney Garret McEnerney. who is defending Ward, is still configent that his point— that Ward is not guilty, by reason, as he claims, of his not baving made his rela- tions with Mrs. Bradbury open and notorious—is_eflicacions, and wiil hold good in the higher court. At all events he intends to try it. Mrs. Bradbury is still reported to be quite ill and 1s confined 1o her bed. Ward made no efforts to see her vesterday, nor did any of hisfriends attempt to com- municate with her in_his behalf. In fact it would seem that Ward has ers o think of just now. though an iional $1000 bas been tacked on to Ward's bail, an understand- ing was reached yesterday that this order would not go into effect until after the case is finally disposed of to-day, for it seems to be a foregone conclusion that he will be held to answer. Iarm was occasioned Mrs. Brad- | ends last evenineg when the re- port reached them that Ward was likely 10 call the woman with whom bhe eloped to the witness-stand to give testimony in Lis defense. Ward’s counsel denied this, however, and in addition the attorney ior Mrs. Bradbury declared that he would permit no such procedure. The latter gentleman, Gavin McNab, said that he would instruct his client to answer no question propounded to her. She isade- fendant herself, he saia, and therefore bas the right to refuse for her own protection. other and | more seriots ma i Newlln Worked Up. LOS ANGELES, Car., July 9.—County Clerk Newlin and bis deputies are much disturbed over the accusation by Attorney Sweeney that they connived in suppress- ing the record of the marriage of Ward and Miss Bandina. They say that in re- sponse to a telephoned request they searched the records of the County Clerk’s office, but coutd find no trace of sny mar- | riage license or affidavit by W. Russell Ward. but to-day, at the suggestion of an attache an inquiry was made 1n the County Recorder’s office, wnere the affidavit was found, the recort sho ‘Ward to have been married in 18! license was issued ten yearsago by County Clerk Dunsmoor, but no record of it can be found in the books of the office.

The Trades Unions Working Hard for the Release of Salter D. Worden The San Francisco Labor Council held its regular meeting last «vening at Union Hall, with President J. Hill in the chair and a good attendance of delegates from the various trades unions present. A communication was received from the Sturt, Collar and Cuff Makers’ Union, de- claring the shop ot Cluett, Coon & Ci unfair, on account of repeated reductions made in the wages of employes, which, added to increased labor demanded 1n the finishing of goods, aggregated about 50 per cent, and that a boycott had been de- clared on their goods. | A communication was received from the | United Garment Workers of America stating that they had adovted a label for the protection of consumers against sweat- shov goods. A circular was received from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, stating that the difficul- ties which bad existea between the union and the Anchor Milling Company of Superior, Wis., had been adjusted and that their goods are now on the fair list. The following was received from C. A. Barlow, the Representative from South- ern California: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATI vlafii'.'s WASHINGTON, D.

Thank- ing you for your thoughtfulness in sending | me the resolution voicing the sentiments of the laboring men of San Francisco, and hoping hat you will continue to keep me in iouch | with your organization, I remain as ever your sincere friend, C. A. BARLOW. A committee, consisting of J. Walters- J. Hill, G. Gassuer, W. MacArthur, Wil tiam Dore and W. C. Ackerman, was ap pointed to make arrangements for Labor day. Attorney George W. Monteith, who is | fighting for Worden, was admitted to the council, and after making a brief state- ment of the present aianding of the case said he would go to Washington in Octo- ber to fight the case belore the Ieaera: courts, where he thinks victory almost certain. The varions trades unions throughout the City have been working together for months toraise funds for this purpose, and much money has also been received from sister organizations throughout the State.

CROGKER ILL His Physician Summoned to| San Mateo Last Night on a Special, The Urgent Call for Medical Assist- ance Caused Alarm Among Hig Friends, Last evening Dr. George Chismore, the regular physician of Colonel C. F. Crocker, received a message by wire re- questing his immediate presence in San Mateo to attend his patient. The message was received after the last regular train of the day had left the City for San Mateo, but the call was so urgent that a special was run to enable the physi- cian to see his patient without delay. In answer to inquiries late last night it was said that Colonel Crocker’s condition was not such asto cause his family and friends great alarm, but as there was no physician at San Mateo within call it was deemed advisable to suinmoun Dr. Chis- more, who understands the patient’s ail- ment. Colonel Crocker returned from New Yorz about three weeks ago. He went there to bring his daughter home from school. Since his return he has been at- tending to his uuties in the managzement of the Southern Pacific, and bas been giv- ing considerable of his time to his duties as a member of the Board of Regents of the State Uaiversity. —————— Sunday at El Campo.

DEATH DD WOT TISIT DURRANT Yesterday Was the Day Set for Execution, but It Passed. e —— | Governor Budd Sent No Re- prieve, but the Warden Held His Hand. It Is Understood That Under Advice | He Is Waiting on the United States Supreme Court. SAN Q TIN PRISON, CaL., July 9.—Although this was the day set for the execution of Theodore Durrant, the youth- ful murderer of Blanche Lamont, the | hanging did not take place. No reprieve was received from Governor Budd or any other source, but, neverthe- less, the punishment did not occur. The condemned man passed the day as be has spent almost every other day since he was reprieved by the Governor from June 11 toJuly 9. He was allowed to walk in the yard with the other prisoners sentenced to death this afternoon and he did not seem concerned. Evidently he knew that the death pen- alty was not to be entforced. He was locked up in his iron cage this afternoon | as usual. The prison authorities are nct- ing under the advice of the Attorney-Gen- eral and it is not likely that Durrant will suffer until the proceedings on appeal are terminated, and when that will be is an | unanswerable question. The murderer | still occupies cell 21, on the first tier of the big stone building, and only sees his father, motner and legal advisers, “Pending the appeal proceedings in the United States Supreme Court,’”’ said At- torney Deuprey, ‘no steps will be taken to have Durrant executed. By section 766 of the Revised Statutes, all proceedings of the Siate courts are rendered null and void until the hearing of the appeal. “The papers have been filed with the clerk of the Snpreme Court, but the case bas not yet been docketed, and it will | probably be late in October before the matter is set for argument. Meanwhile the briefs are being prepared. We have not decided definitely who will goon to | Washington to make the argument—that | is a long time ahead.” When asked whether a trial of the Min- nie Williams case would be had in the meantime, Attorney Deuprey replied that his request for such a trial had been de- nied once, and that it would be useless to | repeat the request. “Is Durrant hopeful?”’ the attorney was asked. ‘““He certainly has every reason to be,” | he replied; ‘‘at least we think so,” he defendants Mr. Estee pcinted out that death in the monih of Marcn of this year. | oldest son, the issue ot his first marriage. aday in some transactions and in conse- | guence the son, THE MILLIONS FISK HOARDED Claim of the Dead Money- Lender's Son for the Entire Estate. Asserts That His Father Helda Trust Fund of $185 for Twenty-Five Years. Says the Fund Now Amounts to Nearly a Million Dollars, and He Wants That Much. Judge Seawell listened to argument in a million dollor case yesterday. It was the suit of Asa W. Fisk against Lydia B. Fisk and Arihur Fisk, executors of the estate of the late Asa Fisk, for the return of an original trust fund of §185and the profits resulting therefrom, which the plaintiff estimates to come to the com- fortable sum of $1,000,000. If successful this claim would swallow up the entire estate, Attorney M. M. Estee opened the argu- ment in fayor of the demurrer which he and Attorney Daniel Titus had interposed. They set up several reasons why the plain- tiff had no right to maintuin this action, the main point being that the claim was uncertain and that it was not properly begun, as the plaintiff had sued Mrs. Fisk and Artuur Fisk in their individual capa- city, whereas they could be brought into court in a matter of this kind only as representatives of the estate against which the claim pretended to be held. In addition to the alleged misjoinder of the claim had not been properly verified, and besides the statute ot limitations had run against it. Joseph 3I. Kinley, plaintiff, thought it was think that the statute of limitations operated as a bar to thisclaim. He as- serted this to be a continuing trust and said that the deceased had not attempted to disclaim the trust until just before his attorney for the ridiculous to According to the theory of the plaintiff when Asa Fisk came to Sar: Francisco he brought with him $185 belonging to his The trust is asserted to have been created at that time, the agreement of the trustee being that he would keep this monev invested and reinvested so that it would be made to earn the best possible interest and that all the resultingincrease | should be kept and preserv:d for the use of his beneficiary; the interest was d to have amounted to as nigh as 5 per cent As<a W.

Oneof the directors of the National Club returned yesterday from a short trip to the Santa Cruz Mountains, where George Green is rusticating with some friends. The director said that he had a long con- versation with Green, and that the clever welter-weight finaliy agreed to fizht Wal- cott under the auspices of the National Club on the evening of August 20, on con- dition that the winner of the contest take | the entire purse. When O'Rourke, the manager and backer of the colored fighter, heard the | news he objected and said that Walcott | came a long distance to meet Green and in case he lost the fight he should bave some remuneration. ““Well, I have conveyed Green’s ultima- tum to you,” said the club director, “and you can answer yes or no.’’ When O'Rourke saw Walcott the col- | ored pugilist said: *‘Let it mo at that, Tom. 1 will whip him anyhow.” And the National Club received a telephone from O'Rourke last evening that Walcott had agreed to Green's demand. Arricles of agreement were drawn up aud in the presence of the National Ciub’s directors O’Rourke and Walcott attached their names to the document, The pugilists nave agreed to weigh in at 150 pounds on the evening of the contest. This match promises to be the greatest pugilistic event that has ever taken place on this coast between welter-weights. |1 Last night J. J. Groom of the Nationai | Club annourced that the club had at last arranged a match between George Green | and Joe Walcott, the former having agreed to overlook the color line. The match between Green and McPartland is off, the Iatter having stipulated for a 145-pound limit at the ringside. The Green-Walcott contest will come off at Woodward's on August 20, a deposit of $500 having been posted for both to enter the ring at 150 pounds as the limit at that time. Lovers of sport pugilistic consider that this should give a good contest, the Olympic and the Bostonian being well matched. —————— A Brussels firm has contracted to equip Abyssinia with a telegraph system.

The Committee on Health' Given Power to Appoint In- spectors. It Is Decided That All Printing Con- tracts Be Given to Union Offices. The Board of Education held a special meeting last evening, the object of which was to discuss amendments and adopt a new code of rules. An amendment was proposed by Di- rector Armour and carried to the effect that all contracts for printing shall be given to nnion offices. Director Waller precipitated a warm discussion by moving to amend by strik- ing out section 36 of article 6, which pro- hibits the committee of hygiene and health from incurring any indebtedness or expending any of the finances of the Board of Education. Waller explained thata difference might arise between the inspectors of the Board of Health and the committee concerning the sanitary condition of a school, in which case 1f would be necessary for the board to appoint its own inspectors. vigorously, ciaiming it was a scheme to create more places. Waller declared it was understood the piaces shoula be only temporary, as occa- sion might require. Hammond reiterated that it would un- necessarily burden the taxpayers with new salaried officials. On a vote Waller’s motion carried by a vote of 8 to 3, Head, Hammond and Armour voting no. On motion, Director Webster secured an amendment providing for a $5 fine for vrincipais of echools who failed to have their reports in on the day specified. An entire new code of rules was adopted.

In support of his statement he exhibits telegrams from the alleged scene of the double tragedy assuring him that the young lady is well ard that there is no trouble in her home. She was very muca affected by the death of Senor Maytorena, but did not think of sunicide. The telegrams are from her father and friends.

They w:ll bave this quantity in addition, the only difference to them being they will receive more profit for the scrvice than they are now receiving and we will have the additional business, to which we feel we are justly entitled. We_respectfully submit that during the year 1896 there were receipts of coal from Ogden amounting to something like 20,000 tons; that the arzument used by the railrond company when this was commenced was that they required something of this kind to fill cars that would otnerwise come to this coast empty. This argument is not borne out by the facts, because at least 75 per cent of all coal received has been loaded in cars of other lines. It would seem to us good policy for the rail- | foad company to make a rate atleast 50 per | cent greater on westbound coal and lose the | revenue of a half or five-eighths of & cent per trustees for long term, C. D. Evers and D. L’ Farnswor th. ton per mile, and have the entire haulsge on | an equal amount of coal distributed from San Francisco, on which their revenue averages 1wo (2) cents per ton per mile. If the railrond company will have a state- ment made for their own use, showing quan- tity and freight on coal shipped from San Francisco in 1888-89, or previous to the re- ceipt of Rock Spriugs and Utah coal, we be- lieve they will find they are depriving tnis coast of a very large buiiness on which they are making an absolute ioss, If the Southern Pacific Company can see | their way clear to turn this trade over to our Ppeople, where it properly belongs, they will place the mercantile community of California under great obligations.
