8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1897. EXPERTY NOT ENTERTAINING A Session That Dragged Along Wearily in the Fair-Craven Trial, Keefe, the Printer, Admits He Is to Be Paid for His Evidence. Judge Slack Again Denies the De- fense the Right to Test an Ex- pert's Ability. It was a dull and listles: ssion, was yesterday’s of the Fair-Craven trial. Expert testimony never is interesting, and the kind that consumed this particu- lar day was less 50 than any that had pre- ceded it. Daniel Keele, foreman of the job-printing-room of the H. 8. Crocker | Company, was in the chair from morning until evening. During the forenoon session he went slowly from letter toletter of the acknowl- edgment of Mrs, Craven’'s deeds to the property claimed by the Fair heirs, pick- ing out flaws in the type and then com- paring them with Crocker blanks, with the view of demonstrating that the blanks Cooney used were not in existence at the time the notary sevs Senator Fair ap- peared before him and acknowledged the deeds. It was tedious and tiring; so much so that even the crowd of idlers which has attended the 1rial so steadiastiy since the beginning shuflied out and leit the court- room practically deserted of all save those who had to stay. In the afternoon Keefe elucidated on the mysterious art of taking ‘‘proofs’ in a printshop. This task was not so deli- cate but that the office *‘devil”’ could pro- duce the required proof quite as well as the foreman of the place nimself. Now, a proof, according 1o Keefe, is a rough impression taken from a form of type beiore the latter is consigned either to the press or the stereolyping room. It 1s accomplished by means of placing a sheet of dampened paper over the inked type and then lapping it with a mallet. The object of taking proofs is 10 give the printers an opportunity to search for errors and, discovering them, make cor- rections before the type or lorm goes to the press. Keefe acknowledged that it was some- what beneath his dignity, considering his pos.tion down at Crocker's, to take proofs, but just the same he knew all about the process of their production. He learned that when he was & kid. Therefore Keeie did not turn ont the particular proof that was in court, and ‘10 which the attorneys for the heirs atiach so much importance as being a link of evidence showing that the Cooney acknowledgments were bogus. Keefe confessed that he not only did not make this proof himself, but did not see it made, and did not know of his own knowledge wiuo made it. On thisshowing Mr, Deimas objected to his evidencs, and the court ruled with him. Then, in order to get around the diffi- cuity, a miniature printing establisnment was brought into court—a form of type, ink-roiler, mailet and planer—and Keefe was directed vy Attorney Mitcheil 10 go through tue actual performance of taking a proof. He was compelled to limit him- sell to pantomime, however, for whoever had provided the printing outfit for him for- got to inciude the ink. But Keete got along fairly well without it—well enough to enlighten the jury on the proof-taking sct. This over Keefe returned to the en- larged photos and pointer, and proceeded to point out the similarities between the proof and the Cooney blanks, On cross-examination by Mr. Delmas, Keefe said he was notsubpenaed to attend court as an expert. He came at the re- quest of Mr. Mitclell. The latter cailed at the Crocker establishment last week, and asked the witness to make a thorougn examination of photographs of the ac- knowledgments und the alleged corre- sponding bianks, and prepace himself to go on the stand. “How much (ime did vou spend in that examination?” asked Mr. Delmas. “Oh, several evenings and nearly all of last Sunday.” ““And are you to be compensated for your trouble?” “Yes; Mr. Mitchell sald I would be paid.” “‘How much?” *“Well, be didn’t say. would be paid. “And you let it go at that?” “Yes, Idid.” Keefe said ne did not know who the compositor was who set up the form from which it is alleged the Cooney blanks were produced. Neither did he know posi- tively who prepared the sample printing outfit that was brought into court in order to enable him to illustrate the art of tak- ing proots. He had an 1dea about it, however. He believed that the outfit was prepared in the Crocker establishment, under the direction of Superintendent Wade. The witness had seen Kytka, the expert, and several others interesied ir the plaintiffs’ side of the case ‘‘chasing” about the ~nop, he said, and he was un- der the impression thalt they had some- thing to do with getting the exhibit ready. Mr. Delmas desired to test Keefe's abil- ity to distinguish one issue of blanks from another, but the other side objected so strenuously that the courtdecided to spare Keefe the ordeal. Witn this ruling Mr. Delmas closeu the cross-examination of the printing expert, and that individual was permitied to leave the stand. This also closed the dav’s proceadings. MIDSTHMER WEDDINGS. Nauptials of Miss Mattie E. ‘Walker and Charles S, Anderson. Charles 0. Montague and Miss Mollie Rode United at St. Rose's Church. He simply said I The wedding of Miss Mattie E. Walker and Churles C.

Secretary Stanton, for a year before Mr. Lincoln haa_refused to so pun- ish deserters, had pleaded with him to let the law have its way. Mr. Stanton had told the President many a time that his soft hz2art was spoiling the army and en- dangering the life of the Nation, but Mr. Lincoln paid little heed until 1863. *In some portions of the army it was customary to bang deserters, but in most instances they were ahot, and in the pres- ence of their respective command:, as described. The effect was magical. De- sertione were little heard of for the mext few months.” —Chicago Times-Herald. OROWN POINT FORTS. They Are Probably the Best Preserved of Any of the Old Fort ficatio As reported by the Times the bill for the purchase and preservation of Crown Point forts, prepared by Hon. F. 8. With- erbee and introduced in the House by Congressman Foote irom this district, isa commendable measure as far as it goes, but 1he purchasing clause onght to be enlarged so as to include a territory of at least fifty acres instead of thirteen acres as proposed by the bill. The matter of cost should not be considered, as it would be a mere trifle in any event, and the property if purchased and cared for by the Government would be of inesti- mable worth to the country. The United States already owns ten acres adjoining the fort greunds, on which stand the Gov- ernment lighthouse and buildings and the remainder of the point. Back far enough to include both forts and all the turrets or redoubts and Coffin Point should be pur- chased and added to the lighthouse prop- erty. l{x short, all lands used and !mproved by the British garrison while the fortifi- Postotfice on Mission J.

Here is a story of how a clever Kentucky woman outwitted a Sheriff, as told by a correspondent at the classic town of Pine- top, in that State: A short time agoa leading Deputy Sheriff of Letcher County, only a short distance from here, had a claim for taxes acainst a citizen of Mill Creek, amounting to 80 cents, and as the citizen was a desp rate character the deputy induced a brave man 10 go with him, both veing armed to the teeth. Ar- riving at their destination, the deputy de- manded his money, but the citizen in- formed him that he did not have it. The deputy proceedea to levy on a cow, and started to drive the '‘critter’’ off, when the citizen’s wife prevailed on him tostay and take d.nner with them. After dinner, being in a happy and kindly mood, he in- vited the citizen and wife to make him a visit, and as be was about to taks his leave the gentle wife told him she had a settlement to make with him. “Wha—what settlement do you refer to, madam?” “You have not paid for your dinner, she replied. h! why, certainly. Wh—what's my bili, my good woman?"” ‘ “One doliar, if you please.” He wrote a receipt for the taxes and gave it to her, with 20 cents, and returned home a sadder but wiser man.—Buffalo Commercinl. .- A comparison of the average height of men in various trades and professions in dnfie(emcuunlries brings out the fact that the Buglish, as a nation, are the tallest men in the world.

SHOOTING BOUNTY-JUMPERS, It Became Imperative After Gettysburg, and Lincoln Refused to Interfere. “Did you ever see a man shot for de- sertion ?”’ *‘Yes, several of them. The first one was a man of our briga e. He deserted while we were near Fredericksburg and joined the Confederate army. A few weeks be- fore we started for Gettysburg a Confed- erate deserter reachea the lines of another | brigade and was placed under guard. A | soldier of our brigade passing that way saw the Confederate, and was surprised to find that he was the man who had de- serted from his company a lew weeks be- | fore. Found guilty, he was sentened to be shot. *‘The day upon which he was to die we were on the way to Pennsylvania to help fight the great deciding battle. The de- serter was placed in an ambulance, by his coffin, that morning. At noon, aiter hard tack, pork and coffee, tre brigade formea three lines of asquare, when the daserter was marched from right to left of the line and seated upon the coffin. Twelve men were marched two or three rods from him. The officer gave the command: ‘‘Ready, aim, fire!”” The criminal fell back on his coffin pierced by five or six bullets. The burial followed immediately, without serv- ice, and the brigade pulled out, the band playing a quickstep. “Atter ihe bartle of Gettysburg, and when the Fifth Corns was camped bear the Rappahaunnock River, in Septem er, the whole command was formed on three sides of a square, the customary forma- tion, and witnessed the ~xhootine of five deserters. All of them were of the class known as bounty jumpers. They had de- serted several times, one of them tive times. They were New Yorkers. A des- perate effort bad been made to save their lives, Several committees from the great city had waited upon President Lincoin and pleaded for them. Tuhe wives and children of two of tiem visited the President, but Mr. Lincoln could not be moved, He bhad overiooked the offense in hundreds of instances, but the time had come when the disci- pline of the armydemanded the severest t cations were occupied by General Amhers should be owned and cared for by the Government, whether it be fifty acres or 300 acres. Old Fort Frederick was not so exten-ive a fort as Crown Point, yet it was strongly constructed end a powerful work in 1ts day. This fort is built on the extreme point near the water's edge, and though blown up by the French garrison on its evacuation by them and its complete destruction atiempted by the Britisharmy on its capture more than 100 years ago, yet this old ruin is weil worth preserving. The outlines ot the earth and stone ram- parts are clearly traceable, and the foun- dations and locations of the citadel and tower, on which were mounted swivel- guns, the magazines, barracks and ovens are plainly visible. The larger and more formidable fortress, which was built by General Amherst 150 years ago, stands about 100 yards back on the point from Frederick, and is flanked on the east, south and west by several re- doubts or turrets, which are in a state of excellent pre-ervation, and being part of the foriified system ought to be included in the purchase and preserved. To the south for several hundred yards, and be- tween the turrets and the mam fort may | b> seen regularly laid out streets, with tlagstone sidewaiks, wbich indicate, as ciaimed by some, that there once existed a fair-sized thriving village. Fort Crown Point and surroundings is without doubt the best preserved fortress in the United States which was built dur- ing the French and Indian and Revolu- tionary wars, though carelessly neglected and almost wholly unknown outside of a radius of fifty miles. Why Crown Point fort is called an un- finished work and so spoken of 1n bistory is not clearly unaerstood by those who havevisited the fort. What is termed the unfinished work has the appearance of having been skilliuily finiuheg and complete in all its details, The massive earh walls and masonry bas- tions, twenty-five feet high and forty feet thick at the base, star-shaped. and neariy one mile in circumference, stand to-day in substantially the same condition they must have been 150 years ago. There is nothing to indicate that the fort and all the turrets were not com- pletely finished bv Amherst, and it must have been almost impregnabie against the munitions of war at that date. The roof of the covered passageway from the fort to the lake uas fallen in, but it still can be easily traced. The roof of the three rows of stately two-story barracks situated east, south and west within the inclosure have been burned off and one of the rows of officers’ quarters, which were built prin- cipally of brick which were made necar the fort, has been partially torn down and carried away for building purposes. Yet there are left two imposing rows of bar- racks, with fireplaces in perfect condition in both first story and chambers, 200 feet long, solid, firm “stope masonry, roofless, wlmiowlen and bare, but standing to-day as plumb, true and substantial as they were when occupied by British soldiers.— Troy (N.

Retiring President Gerberding Scores the Mem- bers, An Interesting Showing of the Con- dition of Trade With the World. At the,annual meeting of the Ban Fran- cisco Procuce Exchange, held yesterday morning at 11 o’clock, the reports of the treasurer and the cashier were read, and the retiring president, A. Gerberding, be- fore introducing his successor, H. Ep- pinger, delivered his annual address, in which he took occasion to call the atten- tion of the members to various matiers which deserved immediate improvement. Aliter showing the great progress that had been made in the produce mearket and the rapid increase in value of memberships in the exchange, he deplored the little in- terest taken in exchange matters by the members, and attributed tbhe defect to too large a membership and to too many priv- ileges given to non-members. He advised as a remedy that the exchange purchase a certain number of memberships and also curtail the advantages now possessed by those who were not members. He called for more loyalty to the exchange and asked that more members should avail themselves of the opportunities presented. He closed his address as follows: From these suggestions as to the conduct of our business it 1s pleasant to take & view of the business itself, and iooking out upon the broad scres of Caliiornia we benold a 1ull har- vest mecting a good marke!, which will bring Fru!perhy 10 all our citizens. New buyers have Come to our shores. Ausiralis, India, Africa, and now South America demand our wheat. These countries have been our rivais, but now seek our aid, end after & long period of depression it is encouraging to find new mar- kels for our wheat on all sides of the globe. Not ouly isour wheatin demand, but Califor- nia bariey is also wauted, for Guring the past year our exporis were the largest on record, and the most important item is the shipment 0f 886,000 centals of brewing and Chevalier to the continent of Europe, where, for the first time, this grain hus obtained a foothold. After a long interrupiion we have again shipped to Chile & cargo of ieed barley and this desirab.e trade may be revived. Cali- fornia can greatly increase her production of barley, and with new markets we may expect enhaiced output and demand for this cereal. Aside fiom handling the product of our own State we have, during the past Lwelve months, received by rail from Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Oregon 30,000 tons of wheat, all of whicl ds to the grand total of the docal grain trade, which has been eminently satisfactory. We have had no just cause for complaint, and now we may rejoice upon entering an era of good times, for at the very beginning of an- other good harvest we have promise of good prices, which means general prosperity throughout tne entire State.
