THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1897 GELISNOW | O THE RACK His Preliminary Examina- tion for Embezzlement Begun. ‘ The Prosecution Introduces Evi- dence to Prove Numerous Peculations, False Entries in the Oashbook of Moneys Deposited in the Firm's Bank. The preliminary examination of Theo- dore A. Figel, ex-bookkeeper for Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., on one of the charges of embezzlement preferred against him was commenced before Judge Campbell in Judge Troutt's courtroom at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The large courtroom | hou | out b Isaac Hoffman Theodore A. Figel was bookkeeper. Wituess continuing said that no one except the three members of the firm was authorized to indorse checks or drafts of tuetirm. The firm did a banking busi- ness with the London, Paris and Ameri- can Bank, and when drafts or checks ar- rived they were attached to the letters accompanying them and eventually sent | to the bank for deposit. He identified tke $436 36 draft, and sa:d_that the second in- dorsement was in Figel’s handwriting. The firm had no account with the First National Bank or any bank except the London, Paris and American. A question by Ach as to whether Figel bad autbority to indorse checks for de- | vosit in the London, Paris and American | | Bank except with the firm’s rubber stamp brought forth an objection from the de- fense, wkich was overruled, and the wit- ness replied that he had not. Neither had | he authority to open the firm’s letters. Cross-examined bv General Barnes the witness said that Figel had no authority to open letters addressed to 1lsaac Hoff- man nor to sign papers or letters in the irm’s n-me. He never knew bim to do so, but he might affix the rubber stamp | with the firm’s name. Being pressed wite | ness said Isaac Hoffman might have given | Figel suthority to use the name of the | e in the business of the house with- | knowledge, but it would have been againsi the rules of the house. ! In answer to other questions witness | said that lsaac Hoffmnn went to New York on September 9, 1896, and returned | January 24, 18 He al~o went to New | York in June or July, 1896, for a montk or | six weeks and witness bad charge of the business during his absenc.. He also | made a trip to southern towns in 186, but | witness could not remember the time. Witness had no doubt about the indorse- ment on the draft being in Figel's hand- not swear positively as to whether he spoke to Figel that day or that Figel was there, nor could he say that Le saw the receipt writien. When he went back for the money he saw Hoffman in_the office. He gave the receipt to one of the book- keepers and Figel wrote out the :hegk and banded it 10 Hoffman, who signed it. Hoffman might have known what the money was there for, as he was there when it was paid in and drawn out. Witness Pothchild was recalled. He was shown the day cashbook, bearing the entr . Ye! $1200," which he icen- tified as in Figel's bandwriting. On the other side was &n entrv of $160), deposited in bank, which was also in Figel's hand- writing. The stub of the check for $1300 given to Zsrker on March 24 was also in Figel's nandwriting. Thers was an entry of $200 in the cashbook and the entry of Zerker's $1300, making $1600, and the amount was entered as having been deposited in the London, Paris and American Bank. The firm's bankbook was handed the witness, but it did not show a deposit of $1600 on that day or any other day. Attorney Ach then askedithe witness if he was in the City on December 22 and 23 last, and he replied that he was. *“Where was Isaac Hoffman at that time?” | *In New Yerk.” Witness was then shown certain entries on the back of atubs of checks of amounts aggregating $1573 11 and other entries ag- gregating $¢50 48, which he said repre- sented deposits in the London, Paris and American Bank. The cashbook also showed that these amounts were deposited in bank. The bankbook showed that the $850 48 had been deposited by Figel, but there Was no trace of the §1573 11. There was, however, an amount of $786 68, leav- ing a deficiency of $786 43, one of the checks incorporated in the list of the total Told in Whispers—Scene in the Figel Case. was crowded and smong the spectators | were a number of business men, who watched the proceedings closely. Before the proceedings began Prosecut- ing Attorney Spinetti asked that Attorney ‘\ Henry Ach be placed on the record as associate counsel with himself and ex- Judge Murphy for the prosecution. The defendant, who was dressed in his usual neat manner, sat behind his coun- sel, General W. H. L. Barnes and ex-Judge Louderback. He looked deadly pale, and uring the cross-examination of the wit- nesses he prom pied his attorneys. The particular case selected for hearing was the embezzlement of a draft on the ! Bank of Chico for $436 36 sent by H. Sil- verstein of that city on May 1510 H. L. Smith, secretary of the Board of Trade | here, and by him inaorsed on May 17 ana sent to Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., who were trustees for the creditois 1in the estate of Kuriz & Korn. Hoffman, Roth- child & Co. on May 19 sent their own check dated May 18 for the sameamount on the Londo Faris and American Bank te Secretary Smith so that he could distribute it pro rata among the creditors. The draft instead of being deposited witn | the London, Paris and American Bank was deposited with the First National Bank in Figel’s private acconnt. | A surprise was sprang upon the defense | by the prosccution by the introduetion of evidence to show other embrzz ements by the defendant in corroboration of the cbarge being heard. Judee Murphy | sprang the surprise, and was at once met with an objecuion from Judge Louder- back. Murpby quoted The Peop.e vs. Gray in support of his argument, and said be had numerous other authorities on the voint. General Barnes was silent, and | the Judge prompliy overruled the objec- tions It isapparent from the action of the | prosecution in having the embezzlement and forgery charges heard before the murder charge that they want to show a motive for the commission of the capital offense. The rirst witness called was Secretary Smith of the Board of Trade, who identi- ned the Chico draft and his indorsement thereon. He sent the drait on May 17 by | a messenger to Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., and the same day received their | check for a similar amount. Cross-examined by General Barnes, the witness said he could not tell the exact time of day he received the draft from Chico. He recollected that he handed it to his second assistant, Emmett Hew- ston, with instructions to send it to Hoff- | man, Rothchild & Co. The draft be- longed to that firm as trustees for the executors of Kurtz & Korn. They were creditors to the extent of §470, and their pro rata share of the raft which he paid | them on May 20 was $64 99. Isaac Gellert, bo eeper of Hoifman, Rotuchila & Co., testified that on May 17 hLe assisted Figel as accountant to the | firm. He was handed the Chico drattand said that he received it cn Ma from a representative of the Board of Trade. Attorney Ach handed the witness a book and he identified it as one in which the cash entries were made. He pointed out the entry of the $436 36 drait on May 17. He handed the araf: to Figel, but did not know what Figel did with it. He identified the words ‘‘Pay to the order of ‘Theo. A. Figel’” on th* back of the draft esin Figel’s handwriting. The cashbook and draft were then offered in evidence. | Cross-examined by Louderback, the wit- “ | | | ness said he did not remember who the messenger was that brought the dreft to him from the Board of Trade, nor could he recollect the time of day. Figel was absent at the time, bul as scon as he re- turned the draft was handed to him. There was a craning of necks when BEd- ward S. Rotbenild, a member of the firm of Hoffman, Rothchild & Co, took the stand. He testified that the firm was or- ganized on May 18, 1896. Charles Hoff- man, one of the partners, who had charge of the manufactory in New York, had to | go to Colorado Springa for his health and | witness went to New York to take charge | during his absence, believing that he could be better spared here than Isaac Hoffman, now deceased. From the time | check for the transference of the amount | to the Board of Trade, buton being shown | { month. | Trade, testified that on May 17 Secretary | back « receip he entered the firm until tue death of writing. He did not know who drew the the stub he said it was in Figel’s hand- | writinz. He aid not know who signed it, | bu. if nobody forzed the signature Isaac Hoffman ned it. To the best of lxls{‘ recoilection he had seen the check and it was signed by Hoffman. The check was | produced and witness identified the i natare as Hoffman’s. { Re-examined by Ach the witness said that Figel received a salary of $150 per Part of Figel's duty was to send receipts to customers. When drafts were received Fizel might indorse them Wilh} a “‘per.”’ | W of sa ss gave the following explanation nding the firm’s check to the secre- 1 of the Board of Trade: “When a failure takes plzce the largest creditor is appointed trustee. \We were the largest creditor of Kurtz & Korn and were accord- | v appointed trustees. A compromise of 40 cents on the doliar was effec'ed, and | as payments were made they were made | through the Board of Trade for the bene- fits of the creditors. We, being trustees, the Board of Trade sent the draftsto us and we gave them back our check for dis- tribution, receiving our ;r: rate share.” Chief of Police Lees was called and | identified a_ deposit tag of May 17 with | the First National Bink, which he had | obtained from the bank. The entry on | the tag of $436 36 was in Figel’s hand- writin 8. 4. Murphy, president of the First National Bank, was shown the s:me de- posit tag. and ne said he had delivered it i to Chief Lees. He was also shown a state- ment of Figel's account with the bank, | which he identified. It showed that on | May 17 $436 36 was deposited to Figel’s | ccoun. He also identitied the dralt for | that amount paid through the Clearin house to his bank by the Anglo-Califor- nian Bank. General Barnes objected to the intro- duciton of the statement as evidence. The Judze overruled the objection, and the general sarcastically asked if it was worth while to take an exception, ““You will find,” retorted the Judge, “‘the rules ot evidence in the codes of this State and in Greenleat on Evidence.” President Murphy said the checks ana | deposit tags were delivered to Chief Lees by a written order from Fisel, which was now in the bank. | Fran E. Beck, accountant in the| Anglo-Californian Bank, was shown the draft from Chico for $436 36 and said it was paid on May 17 by nis pank through | the Clearing-house to the F rst National | Bank. | E. R. Hewston, clerk for the Boara of | | Smith handed him a letter from H. Silver- stein of Chico containing the draft, which be sent by a messenger to Hoffman, Roth- chiid & Co., and the messenger brought t. Then tie surprise came. M. Zerker, a merchant in Merced, was called to the stand by Attorney Ach and on being sworn was asked if he was in San Frana- cisco on March 23 and if on that day he paid $1300 to Figel. There was a prompt objection from Louderback, and Murphy said he pro- posed to show that the money was to be returned to Zerker, but was embezzled by Figel. The prosecution had a perfect right to show other embezzlements as de- cided by the Supreme Court in the People vs. Gray and numerous other authcrities. The Judge overruled the objection. Zerker then testified that on March 22 he was in Hoffman, Rothcbild & Co.’s oi- fice and peid Figel §750 to be credited to his account. On March 23 he went to the office late in the afiernoon and asked Figel, as ihe banks were closed, where he could leave $1300, and Figel said he would keep it for bim. Figel got the money and gave him the firm’s receipt for it. Wilness called at the office the following day and ot the firm’s check on the London, Paris and American Bank for the $1300. He purchased goots from anotuer firm and gave the check in payment. In cross-examination by General Barnes the witness got rattied. He said that Figel and n1s assistant, Gellert, were 1in the office when he placed the $13J0 on the receiving desk. He dia not know who took it or who wrote the receipt. Gellert might have taken the moncy. He could | | Sergeant Duncan and Officer | to secure a conviction. | be able to read the minds of persons sim- | regard to the production of the disputed of §1573 11. The Judge asked if these questions were intended to sbow other embezzlements, | and ex-Judee Murphy replied that thev were and there were any number of them to come yet. It was then decided to adjourn court till this morning. A WOLF AMONG SHEEP. An Alleged Christian Endeavorer Found With Burglars’ Tools in His Pockets, William Barron, alias Dorr, who claimed to be secretary of the Christian Endeavor Society of Stockton, was convicted vester- day of vagrancy in Judge Conlan’s court. The fellow was picked up three daysago among a lot of suspected petty thieves | hanging about the Mechanics’ Pavilion. Thomas Dickson booked him also for carrying burglars’ tools, but that cbarge had to be | dismissed, owing to a recent Supreme Court ordinance to the effect that the in- tent to commit burglary must be shown DAVIS WILL CONTEST. Professor Carl Eisenschimmel Declares the Paper a Forgery. In the Jacob Z. Davis will contest yes- terday Professor Carl Eisenschimmel tes- tified that he hadi made an inspection of the document offered as the last will of the deceased and that he believed it to be | a forgery. In reply to questions propounded by Attorney George A. Knight the witness occupied the greater part of the day in explaining his reasons for his conclusion in the case. He said _that according to his analysis the late Mr. Davis used the | thnmb and second finger in writing, whereas the person who wrote this dis- puted document used the thumb and first finger; Mr. Duvis held the hollow of the pen tosard th2: palm of his hand and the writer of the so called will held the hol- low of his pen in &n opposite position. According to the opinion of Mr. Eisen- schimmel every person has what he calls a co-ordination in the production of man- uscript, or any other thing that is made by hand. Mr. Davis could never disguise bis handwriting; his very life was in his handwriting, his habits and all his per- sonal characteristics. Attorney J. C. Campbell made some sport of the pretensions of the witness to ply by an inspection of their penmansnip, and thought that such theories were more appropriate for mystery novels of the “Sherlock Holmes” type than in a court of justice. He succeeded in shutting out a lot of the gues-es of the witness with re- gard Lo the probabilities of the case, ana compellea him to adhere strictly to a com- parison between writin ‘s admitted to be genuine and similar characters that ap- pear 1n the disputed document. Judge Coffey ordered struck from the record all the comments of the witness wherein he began to account for what he deciared 10 be the “tremor of guiit.” The court remarked that the witness had no right to make remarks of that character, and warned him against further infrac- tions of the rule. He had said he thought the document to be fraudulent. He had a right to compare the writing of the will | with the standard writings of the deceased already admitted in eviaence, but there kis province ended. The exhibits before the court were sufficient to iliustrate the reasons of the witness for his opinion in aper. B Mr. Eisenschimmel responded by say- ing that there is the tremor of old age, the tremor of sickness, the tremor of iilit- eracy and the tremor of fraud. He bad made an examination and found that the tremor here observed is not the tremor of sickness, old age or illiteracy. Mr. Eisenschimmel will occupy the wit- ness-stand again to-da; e Estato of Jules Cerf. Altred Cerf has applied for letters of admin- istration on the estate of Jules Cerf, deceased which he says exceeds 10,000, but the actual value is not stated. THE ROOM FOR [NPROVEMENT Discoveries Made bv Several Committees of the Grand Jury. Recommendations Touching the Police and Fire Depart- ments, The Oommittee on Dives Makes Some Suggestions on Radical Lines. Several committees of the Grand Jury yesterday filed their- reports, several of them containing recommendations of general interest. That on the Police Department, J. C. Nobman chairman and W. E. Lutz sec- retary of the jury revorted, for instance, concern'ng the Seventeenth-street sta- tion, 1n charge of Captain J. Gillen: This station we find to be in a deplorable condition, considering the purposes it is used for. The buiiding, previously used for & iiv- ery stable, is old avd utterly inadequate as a olice station. The wcoden cells are abso- utely rotten, it being possible to pierce many parts of the wood with the finger. As to ven- tilation, there is nore, the air being foul at most ali times. The officers’ quarters are too sma'l and cramped. This station when first established, about (wenty years ago, reported about fifteen men. Thers are now ei:hty- two men reporting there and eight mounted men. The importance of this station is too great to havo it housed on the miserablo quarters it now occupies, covering as it does the entire district from Ninth street to the county line. The efficiency of the department demands an immediate change. The committee recommends the aban- donment of the station and the erection of a proper building for the purpose upon city lot in block 50, Mission property. The report further says: The Folsom-street station, Captain John Spiilane, located on Folsom street, between Fourth and Fifth, which from the number and character of the arrests is of even greater im- portance than the Seventeenth-street station, we also found to be in as bad or worse condi- tion. This building is old and rotten, being propped up on all sides to keep it from falling in. The cells are of wood, which is old and very much decayed. Liberal applications of asphaltum serve to hold much of it together. This station contains a large stand of rifles for the use of the companies located there, and to expose these weapons to the attacks of a frenzied mob, for which it would be but child’s play to secure, is megligence and carclessness of the worst kind. The Chief and Captain Spillane have been asking for better protection for a long time,and the Boerd of Supervisors should have their immediate at- teation called to the same and act promptly. We refer to our recommendations as to this station also. Speaking of police stations generally the report says: The system of renting private properties for police stations is to be condemned as being contrary to public policy and good business judgment. Our police stations as well as our fire nouses should be built upon City lots and be the City proverty. The saving in feed of norses alone will amount to mauy hundreds of dollars each year. The City has some availabie properties suitable for police sta- tions and where it has nonme it shouid acquire it as the Police Department is too im- portant to be neglected in the matter of safe and suitable stations, The report says the delay on the work of erecting the Hall of Justice building is without explanation.” “The attention of the Board of Supervisors should be called to this work and steps at oncs taken to compel the contractors to proceed accord- ing to the terms of the contract.” The committe makes recommendations in line with the criticisms made, and also that the appointment of patrol drivers be vested in the Board of Police Comm s- sioners, subject to the rules and regula- tions of the Police Department, and that the patrol wagons be provided with covsrs for the protection of their unfortunate oc- cupants, as is done in all Eastern cities, Reports complimentary to the officers in charge were made concern ng the cen. tral station, new City Hall, Captain Witt- man; harbor police siation, Captain J. Dunleavv; California-street station, Lieu- tenant Esola; Washingion-street station, Serzeznt Shields; O'Farrell-street station. The committee on Fire Department— Arthur L. Piper (chairman), M. F. Frag- eley and L. W. Cudworth—reported hav- ing found the several engine-houses vis- ited in excellent condition, reflecting credit upon Chief Sullivan; also the Cor- poration-yard, where all repairs are made under the supervicion of Superintendent John W. Reilly. The committee makes the following recommendations: We believe that the efliciency of the depart- ment would bs materially improved by the adoptirn of the following: First—That all companies throughout the business district of the City be fully paid and subject to continuous duty. ond—That the outlying portions of the City be provided with larger water mains and more hydrants, and that the present hydrant system be supp emented with a system of cie- terns, fed dlrectly from the water mains, throughout the entire City. Third—That all wires at present strung upon poles throughout the City be placed under- ground. Fourth—That a light-draught fireboat or large pumping capacity be provided as an_ad- junet to the department for the more efficient protection of shipping and other property along the water front. Fifth—That the fire-alarm telegraph station be removed at the earliest date possible from its present exposed location on Brenham piace to the dome of the new City Hall, thereby re- moving the considerable fire risk to the costly equipment of the station. The committee on the Public Pound— R. Mohr (chairman), A. O. Ahern and Walter N. Brunt—takes a tavorable view of Poundmaster Osborn’s action in_ estab- lisbing a pound independent of the S - ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals, and recommends that the CLiiy maintain its owa public pound independ- _— NEW TO-DAY. FREE 70 EVERY MAN. THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATHENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN. WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED, Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away_with nervous weakness the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There isnoletup to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under such a sirain men are scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness | until it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. But providential inspiration came to hisaid in the shape of & combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, an be now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when I say free I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened man 10 get the beaefit of my experience. Iam uota philantnropist, nor do I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men flering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cure t onca could they but get such a remedy the one thas cured me. Do not try to study out how I can afford to vl{ the few postage-stamps necessary to mail the information, but sead for it ama learn that there are a few things on earth that, although they cost nothtns 1o get, are worth a fortune to some men and mean a life- Hime of nappiness to mostof us. Write to Thomas Blater, box 2283, Kalamasoo, Mich., :'nd the information will be mailed in & plain ent of any private society. The report goes on to say that the provision in the franchise of the California Fertilizer Works, granted by the Board of Super- visors, under which th- carcasses of all animals kilied at the Pound during the next fifty years were to be destroyed, “is unconstitutional, inasmnch as the present contract for the same purpose, held by the National Fertilizer Company, has not yet expired, and we recommend that upon the expiration of said contract held by the latter company the Boara of Supervisors advertise for bids for the carcasses of all animals destroyed at the Public Pound.” The committee on dives and social evils—R. Mobr (chairman), P. O Ahern and O. E. Brady—reported as follows: Your committee on dives and social evils respectfully regm’( ou this delicate subjact as follows: We find all so-called dives and houses of 1ll-fame under the strict survei lance of the police. The only drinks obtainable in dives consist of wine, beer and mineral water. No oneis allowed 1o sell any liquor of any kind whatsoever, and in the eveni of any one being caught violating this rule he is invaria- bly fined $100 for each cffense. We find no houses of ill-repute in any of the principal thoroughfares, the same being located in small out-of-the-way streets: and inasmuch as the evil is recognized in ali seaport cities of note we recommend that all such places be confined to a certain district, its inmates licensed and kept under the direct supervision of the Board (f Health, as is done in large cities of Continental Europe. The Committee on Public Library—H. ‘W.Westphal (chairman), E. C. Kalben and R. Mohr—reported having inspected this ‘“‘temple of knowledge and found every- thing there above criticism and recom- mended that the Board of Supervisors re- member it generously when fixing the monetary appropriations, as the commit- tee “considers it next in importance to the public schools.” The sa:d commitiee reported upon the Magdalen Asylum and had only words of praise for its management. The average number of inmates of the asylum is cited as tweniy, for each of whom the city pays $15 per month. The Committee on Board of Education also made a report, which is given in an- other column. NEW TO-DATY.
