THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12 1897 LAWRENGE AT LENGTH ARRESTED Claus Spreckels Swears Out Complaints of Criminal Libel. BAIL. PRISONER RELEASED 0] Another Step in the Plaintiff’s | Firm Course to Bring Hearst to Justice. THE NON-RESIDEST PROPRIETOR. Commotion at the New City Hall When the Warrants for the Arrest | Were Issued. On complaints sworn to by Claus Spreckels yesterday warrants were issued for the arrest of A, M. Lawrence and Charles S. Aiken of the Examiner for criminal libel. A warrant would have been sworn out for the arrest of Wiliiam R. Hearst on a similar charge, but Hearst is a non-resident of this State, having ac- quired a residence in New York, where be | fancies that a campaign of lioel against leading citizens of California may be safely conducted. The arrest of the subordinates of Hearst will ultimately bring the chief offender to the bar of justice, The libel suits were instituted by Mr. Spreckels to bring | Hearst into cou and he has resolved | not to swerve ir \m that purpose. A pub- it & business to libel and relies in a great his paper (o in- her who mak \duce leading ¢ measure on the power of timidate couris, witnesses and plaintiffs, Citizens seeking redress in court are often hampered and vexed by the law’s delay and the truckiing of weak and | faltering officers of the State. The pro- fessional libeler understands the weak- and ambitions of men holding office and looking torward to political ad- vancement in the future. The strings to influence men of this grade are readily pulted and so plaintiffs become discour- aged and falter in their purpose to get | satisfaction in court. It happensin these | particular libel suits, which have been in- stituted to bring Hearst face to face with the man that he has libeled, that the plaintiff is 8 man who never falters and hesitates when he has firmly resolved to pursue a certain course. He does not stand in fear of the Hearst newspaper in California or of the money in the Hearst estate. He has the means and the ability to empioy counsel to represent him and patience to endure the law’s delay. In these criminal libsl cases the defend- ants will doubtless plead for delay, as they did before Notary Craig. Agree- ments may be made by counsel and vio- lated. Attempts mav be made to frighten bondsmen and terrify court clerks, It is no longer expected that Hearst will of his | own accord come out in the open and face the plaintiff in court. He expects his subordinaies to use his paper to get him ont of the dilemma. It will be interesting for the public to note the tactics which will be employed to shield Hearst. Nodoubt the New York proorietor wouid dis'ike very much to see his subordinates going to jail for libel, but be might submit to that rather than come into court in California. A proprietor with a proper sense of justice and courage would not skulk away from the man he has libeled and permit an agent to suffer for the offeuse. Claus Spreckels has no desire to punish the mea employed by Hearst, bat the law- yers retained by the New York proprietor refuse to admit service on Hearst. There was quite a commotion at the new City Hall yesterday when Claus Spreckels, A. B. Spreckels and Grove L. Johnson went out there to file the complaints for the arrest of Lawrence and Aiken. Law- rence, who was notified by telephone, asked immediately that he be not ar- rested, as he would surrender himself and give the required bond for his appearance in court. It was said that Aiken was not in town, but the officers of the law know where to find him. It may not be safe just at present to threaten the officers who issued ana served the warrants. The exposure of the threat which was made by an Examiner lawyer to have Notary Craig's commission re- vokea by the Governor has not passed out of the publi¢ mind. Other threatsand the introdnction of bulldosing methods would awaken public indignation. Californians are asked by the Examiner to distort their imagination by a fancy that Hearst is making a fight for the peo- ple. The fact is that he is making the fight or the run of his life just now to save Hearst. He may fancy it to be wise to employ lawyers whose advice he re- fuses to accept, but cases in court are not usually won by such tactics. Ultimately he will be brought before a court of this State as defendant in the Claus Spreckels iibel suit. Bail for Lawrence and Aiken was in the sum of $500 cash or $1000 bonds in each case, the latter being jurnished for Law- rence by Thomas Flynn and W. R. Fair- field, bookkeeper and stenographer re- spectively with the Examiner. bonds were filed for the appearance of Aiken. James H. Long, the attorney employed by the Examiner to look after the filing of bonds in the Lawrence case, stated that Aiken was not in the State; that he had gone to Seattls. This accounts lor the in- ability of the prosecution in the civil suits orought by Claus Spreckels against tire Examiner for $2,000,000 to find the re- porter. After 4 p. M. Lawrence delivered-himself into custody and was reguisriy booked. A SALVATION BSEKMON, Charles Montgomery Discourses on the Sins of the Rich. Charles Montgomery, the well-known philanthropist and patron of the Salvation Army, spoke at 16 Mason street Tuesday on religion. The general theme on which he spoke might well be callea ““The Sins of Millionaires.” The speaker sat through his discourse and read many passages of Scripture to illusirate his points. He said he had been among many millionaires lately and solic- ited their aid for the poor and others over- taken by misfortune, but he had not been able to get them to contribute anything, their plea being that they were too poor. He said there were peogle in the aims. houses who bad found Christ, and that they were her by far than the miilion- aires, who imagined tney were the really opulent. There was a large attendance during the meeting and the interest was very great. ————— ADVANCES made on furniture and pianos with or witkout removal. Noonan, 1017-1073 Mission, |5 pounds extzs.

IT IS ILLICIT BRANDY, Ruling by the Secretary of the Treas- ury in the Tenney Case. A few months ago the Tanney Canning Company of Fresno went into the experi- ment of distilling brandy from figs, which fruit is plentiful and cheap in that part of the country. Asthere was a doubi as to whether the making of brandy out of this kind of fruit was prohibited by the in- ternal revenue regulations, Collector Wel- burn by agreement with the company seized the whole output and addressed an inquiry to the Treasury Despartment at Washington as to wh ether it was lezal to manufacture distilled spirits out of figs. Formerly iruit distillers were per- mitted to distll apples, peaches and grapes, and liquors distilied from other products were regarded as contraband and subject to seizure, destruction and the punishment of the distillers. On June 3, 1896, Congress gave fruit distillers the right to distill, in addition to the products already named, pears, pineapples, oranges, apricots, berries and prunes. Yesterday the Secretary of the Treasury notified Acting Collector Thomas that spirits dis- tilled from any prodnct other than those mentioned were iilicit, but that in the case of the Teuney Canning Company, it appearing that the company bad acted in good faith, with no irtention to deceive the authorities, the right of the Govern- ment to confiscate and destroy the goods was waived and the company was allowed to take the brandy on payment of the tax of $1 10 per gallon. The Collector was also notified fo seize as contraband all spirits made from any fruits or other products except those al- ready mentioned. e A Notable Coursing Stake. The regular week'y coursing stake to be made up at Deita Hall this evening will be out of the usual order of things, For several weeks past the number of dogs seeking entry to the various events has exceeded the possi- bilities of acceptance. Last week the number unable to gain entrance wss twenty-eight. In consequenca there will be two days of coursing ai Ingleside this week, the running beginning at 1:30 P. M,, S8aturday. The stake to be filled this eveuing is for dogs that have not run third or better this year,and will be limited to sixty-four dogs, instead of the usnal num- ber—thirty-two. The ties will then be run off on Sunday, beginning at 11 A- M. Next to an Approving Conscience, A vigorous stomach is the greatest of mundane blessings.

Changes Rung on the Blood- Stained Pistol in the Figel Trial, | The Blood-Smeared Door and Parti- tion Are Introduced in Evidence. The hearing in the Figel case was con tinued yesterday and the changes were | rung on the careless handling of the | blood-stained pistol by the oflicers. Every | time an article with blood stains on it was | mentioned Judge Campbell would face | tiousty inquire if the witness had *put it in his pocket.” Officer Crockett resumed his testimony. He recounted how he had received the | pistol from Colen and told to whom le had shown it and how he had put it in his pocket and taken it out several times, | “When Chief Lees came I showed him the pistol and pointed outtl:e blood stainy between the handle and tho cylinder.” “Was there as much blood on it when you uave it to Lees as when you received it?" asked Mr. Ach. “There may not have been as mueh.” Tne cartridges were shown the witness and he identified them as the ones taken | from the revoiver. | “I went out to the Receiving Hospital that night and got the articles taken from the body of Mr. Hoffman, put them in the bat and returned to the store. Later 1 turned them over to Mr. Bidwell. The next day I gotthe pistol irom the property | clerk and took it Morgue for the inquest.” *Was it in the same condition when | you returned it to the property clerk as When you got it from him?"’ “Some of the blood may have been | rubbed off by handling. A good many | handled it.”" | The bullet hole in the wall was next | taken up by Mr. Ach. Crockett said he had seen it and it was his opinion that a bullet bad made it. General Barnes ob- jected to this, but the court, afier asking Crockett if he had had any experience with holes made by bullets and receiving an affirmative answer, admitted the testi- mony. Some photographs of the hole were not admitted. Crockett described the blood smears on the door and partition in the conversa- tion-room, and they were produced and offered as evidence, and were identified by the witness. Judge Campbell asked the door in your pocker?'’ “No; Idid not.” General Barnesremarked: ‘‘He couldn’t be blamea for that; he would if he could.” Witness continued: “'I found pools of blood in front of the door and there was blood in Rothehild’s office and on & chair in the conversation-room.” Mr. Ach continued to ask the witness if he found blood at certain places, and in | regard to how he bad found particular | pieces of furniture. The question, “Was | tuere blood on the east side of the conver- sation-room ?” brought forth an objection “Did you put being asked leading questions, and rreated asif he were a hostiie witness. Attorney Ach repiied: ‘*‘Since the gen- eral has brought the matter up, I am sorry to say here in open court that we do regard the police force as hostile to the prosecut:on. They hold an opinion of the affair entirely at variance from us. - This is a weil-known fact to the public and | counsel. I have stated before that I de- sired to ask leading and perhaps objec- tionable questions in this case. [admit that Mr. Barnes’ objection is valid and don’t criticize his action at ali, but 1 insist on being allowed to question the witnesses in this manner. From the very first they nave been against us. The brother of Mr. Hoffman had to swear out the complaint instead of the police, as is usually the case.” Mr, Barnes said he knew nothing of the in my vpocket to the | were introduc d, but were objected to and | from General Barnes that the witness was | hostility of the witnesses, but he did know that they had been led like dogs in leash, and he objected to it. *This is the la time I shall speak of this, but it should not be allowed even in a wpreliminary examination; 1t would not be allowed in a vigher court.” Judge Campbell said he wanted to be fair to both sides in the case, but that he thought the witness needed a little urging, though he didn’c believe him hostile. The examination continued, and Crockett further expluined the positions of the furniture and biood spots. The carpet and a chair from the offices were produced, and after being identified by Crockett were offered in evidence. T!e biood spots were pointed out with diffi- culty, as the carpet bad bren walked on great deal the night of the shooting and had been left on the floor for several davs afterward. The letter Hoffman was writing on the night he was shot was shown to the wit- ness, identified and introduced in evi- dence. An attempt was made by the prosecu- tion toalso offer as evidence the letters and papers found on Hoffman after his death, but were objected Lo by the defense, and Judge Campbell reserved his decision on the matter until this morning. The newspaper covered with blood was admit- ted as evidenoe, ed W.

Offi- | cer Crockett claimed he was only asking | about the time Bishop saw the pistol, but Bishop was very positive in hiy statement that the detective had “‘jumped on to him | rough shod.” It is probable that the | atfair will be brought up again, and if the | ofticer is found to be guilty the cutcome | of it all may be serious, as the offense is | fetonious. Detective B. J. Whitaker corroborated the testimony of other w.tnesses as to the condition of tha offices of Hoffman on the | nigut of June 1 and the handling of the | revolver by different persons. He identi- fied a letter from Hoffman to bis brother as one he had secured from the Postotfice. | The ietter tells that the firm had cleared about $29,000 from the business here dur- ing the year, and shows in what good spirits the deceased was at the time of writing it. It was mailed on the evening of Hoffman’s death. Mr. Ach desired to question the witness as to a conversation Cnief Lees had with Figel over the telephone on June 1, but it was objected to and sustained. Duringthe controversy between counsel, which the court termed ‘*‘chewing the rag,” General Barnes remarked that he dian’t care to start a school 6f law and take Ach as a scholar. Mr. Ach replied that he would like to attend if the hour was convenient and the compensation asked not too high. A short cross-examination by Judge Louderiack concluded the day’s proceed- ings. HELD FOR MURDER. | Result of the Preliminary Examination of A. L. Knott. A, L. Knott, the eccentric medicine ven- der, was Tuesday held by Judge Low to answer before the Superior Court on the charge of murder without bail. Knott was arrested for farally shooting Joseph Knauer, a barber, on Stevenson street, between Third and Fourth. Knauer identified . Knott twice before he died as the man who shot him, and al- leged that it was owing to a quarrel be- tween them about a dog eighteen months ago. At that time Knauer had Knott ar- rested, and afterward Knott swore to get even with him. Knott's attorneys reserved their defense till the trial of the case in the Superior Court. i Heat, Loss of appetite, Shortness of Breath, LIEF IN TWENTY MINUTES.
