o L 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1897. 1S PRINCE OF MINING OPERATORY Sensation Caused by the Arrival of Frank L. Gardner, HIS PRESENCE WAS A SECRET. Barnato’s Adviser Has Been Busy Examining Mines on the Mother Lode. NCIERS. Mr. Gardner Is Worth Between $30,- 000,000 and $40,000,000, and Is Known as “ The Rector.” Frank L. Gardner of London, one of tke most distinguished and wealthiest mining engineers in the world, the adviser for the late Barney Barnato and other great mining Kings, has been in San Francisco and vicinity for the past two weeks. He came to examine into the mines and ascertain the opportunities for making in- vestments, He has visited the mother lode, and also examined some of the mines of Placer County and other places in a preliminary way. He is favorably im- pressed with what he saw. Mr. Gardner’s visit here has been kept a profound secret. He has not registered at any hotel, although he has had rooms at the Palace for the reception of friends who were aware of his presence. His coming has been a sensation in the inner circles among financiers and big mining men. Mr. Gardner left on the Central Pacific overland for New York last pight, but he is expected to return here soon, and will probably take up some very important mining properties. He met W. H. Crocker, Charles D. Lane, | Alvinza Hayward, Joseph D. Redding and other well-known people while here. He also went with Mr. Hayward to Nevada for a short time. It has been learned that while here he was the guest | of J. H. Doolittle of the Gould and Doo- little mine at his residence, Page and Shrader streets. His family, consisting of his wife, niece and sister-in-law, besides a retinue of servants, were with him. An effort has been made to keep Mr. Gardner’s visit from being known. He desired it himself, and his wishes have been strictly observed. details were gathered yesterday. Joe Redding met him abroad and since his arrival here has been with him a great deal. Mr. Gardner has long been known as *‘the rector’’ because of his quaint ways and abstemious habits. It is said he stands higher in Europe than any other adviser on all financial matters. Fle now wants to buy some big Califor- nig mines, and it wes because of this that he visited the mining regions in person. He is worth from $30.000,000 to $40,000,000. It was Mr. Gardner who laid the ground- work of all the great deals for the Bar- natos. He was their adviser, and, it is said, carried them through. He isabout 44 years of age, with dark hair and mus- tache, and has a quiet manner. Mr. Gardner is one of the heaviest own- ers in the leading mines at Johannesburg, Kimberly, Perth, Coolgardie and else- ‘where, owning, as is stated, all over the world in gold, diamond and silver prop- erties. He is a practical mining man, highly educated in all the branches of the business. for many years has made his headquar- ters in London. He is now on_his way to Paris, and on reaching New York will take a steamer of one of the French lines for that city. Hs will retarn here 1n the fall. 4It is expected that some very large minifig transactions will be made through him, aftecting Cali- fornia and bringing much money to the State. CHINESE MURDER. Chun Ah (‘l\un- m’;']‘:-f’al for His Life in Judge Court. Chun Ah Chun, charged with murder for complicity in the murder of Gin Lum Lee, a Chinese druggist, on the 4th of last October, is on triai in Judee Dunne’s de- partment of the Superior Court. Following are the names of the jurors selected to try the case: Thomas P. Mar- tin, Lipman Elias, Samuel Harris, S, A. Perry, H. Missenberg, Peter T. Sprague, William Wilkinson, J. T. Brophy, Claus Alpers, A. Caldwell, E. P. Mullen and M. A. Warren. So far as the testimony has been devel- oped the prosecution will claim that Chun was hired to point out the murdered man, and that Chin Ab Wah, his accomplice, did the shooting. Wah has been already convicted of murder in the first degree and is serving a life sentence in the State prison. Attorneys Farrel and Eddy appear for the defense, and the prosecution is being conducted by Attorney T. D. Riordan and fifjiimm District Aviorneys Hinkle and ac! Dunne’s NEW TO-DAY?

Zimmerman seems to rather enjoy be- |inz put out of the houses that he pre- | empts, and smilingly refuses to move or | pay rent when the agent of the house he | happens to be in informs him that he must take erther alternative. | According to the deputies of the Sher- | iff’s office, who bave evicted him so many | times that they have almost lost count of | the number, the drayman has several methods of getting into houses before his | identity is discovered. When Lis house- |'hold effects have been carried into the | street by perspiring deputies, he has his wagons ready and loads them in afew | moments. Then he starts driving the | stuff himself until he locates a house | which strikes bis fancy. Usually the key | isat some corner grocery, and he sends %une of his children in to get iton the | plea that the mother is waiting at the | house to examine it. | The wagons are waiting at some loca- | tion around the corner and out of sight, { and the key once in his possession, it takes the drayman but a few moments to un- | load his effects and place them where only | alegal process can get him out. On a few occasions Zimmerman has called for the key himself, saying that his wife is pleased with the outward appearance of the dwell- | ing ana wants to see the interior. The result 18 almost invariably the same. Zimmerman gets possession, the rent is not forthcoming, and the Sheriff is called upon to perform his periodical daty. During Sheriff Laumeister's adminis- tration Zimmerman was evicted eighteen times, and since Sheriff Whelan took the reins the deputies have the Zimmerman belongings so often that they know every | xndlvid‘:\l piece as well as they do their own. Yesterday the drayman was assisted out of the house at 33 East avenue, and some time ago was compelled 1o vacate the premises at 1315 San Jose avenue. In December, 1895, he was evicted from 10 Wool street. | Itis the usual custom to grantthose | who are evicted a few daysin which to | find new quarters, but Zimmerman has | given so much ennoyance in this line that he is to be ejected summarily in future, as | he was under other administrations. | FOLLY OF A YOONG GIRL | Hattie Heritage Thought She | Could Not Live With- out Her Friend. She Swallowed a Dose of Arsenic and It Is Doubtful if She Will Recover, Hattie Heritage, a pretty girl 15 years old, attempted to commit suicide last evening at her parents’ residence, 119 Sii- ver street, by swallowing a dose of arsenic. On April 4 the girl’s coustant com- panion ana friend, Emily Griffiths, com- mitted saicide in the same maunner. Her lover, James Strice, had decided to go to Los Angeles and Emily met him by ap- pointment on the night before he was to leave at Fourth and Harrison streets. She pleaded with him not to goaway and leave her and when she could not shake his resolution she told him she had before |leaving her home to keep the appoint- | ment put some arsenicin a bottletul of soda water and had swallowed it. Strice rushed ber to the Receiving Hos- pital and everything possible was done for her, but the poison had already taken effect and she died. The unexpected death of her companion made Hattie despondent and she was con- | stantly grieving at lher loss. Almost every day she visited her grave, carrying with her a bunch of flowers. She would remain beside the grave for hours, weep- ing and bewailing her loss. She told her parents and friends that she could not live without Emily. She had been a particularly bricht and cheer- ful girl before her friend’s death, ana it was hoped that time would bring her round again. During the absence of her parents last evening Hattie went to a corner grocery | and bought a box of roagh on rats and a bottle of soda water. She wenthome, and emptying the soda water into a tumbler poured 1n nearly ail the box of arsenic and swallowed the contents. 5 After swallowing the poison she became remorse-stricken, and rushing out of the house, met a brother of Emily Griffiths and told him she had taken pgison. She begged him to take her to a doctor, but he ran till he came across a policeman, who summoned the patrol-wagon, and she was driven to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Tnompson at once applied the usual remedies, and it is possible that the girl may recovel —_————— Ironclads and Big Guns. Irving M.

ISSUED IN JUDGE SEAWELL'S COURT Examiner Defendants Are Scam- pering to the Woods of British Columbia. HEARST IS STILU KEEPING IN THE DARK Olaus Spreckels Firm in His Purpose to Corral the Whole Herd of Libelers. A. M. Lawrence, one of the Examiner defendants in the Claus Spreckels libel suits, was arrested last Wednesday on a charge of criminal libel and was before the Police Court yesterday. Charies S. Aiken, for whom a warrant was sworn out, has skipped, and it is said that he is in British Columbia or ox his way there. Livernasa started for the British Pos- sessions shortly after the first suit was in- stituted by Mr. Spreckels. Livernash is supposed (o have been in some position of authority about the Examiner office’ when Mr. Spreckels was accused of holding up the stockholders of the Watsonville Sugar Company. Hearst is still under coverin New York, and using every precaution to keep out of sight. Williams is commonly supposed to hold a power of attorney from the absent Hearst, but on the advice of counsel refused to answer a question on that point before Notary Craig. When committed for contempt lor refusal to an- swer the question, Dick Whelan, the Snher- iff, and Pat Reddy, the Sheriff’s lawyer, | decided thata notary had no power to punish for contempt. Williams was not arrested for criminal libel. It is said that he agreed with the Examiner lawyers that Hearst ought to admit service and face the music. The general break of the defendants for cover may delay Claus Spreckels in his purpose to bring Hearst to the bar of jus- tice, but the plaintiff in these cases has entered the contest with a firm determina- tion to bring the responsible man of the concern which Lawrence is supposed to represent to a reckoning, The attention of the interior press of this State is called to this spectacle in modern metropolitan iournaiism. Here is the Examiner boasting every day that itis a fearless exponent of journalism, and yet when it is put to the test before the law no man can be founa in the estab- lisument willing toacknowledge responsi- bility ior anything that is printed in the paper.” The great fighters for the people break for British Columbla timber as soon as a determined man goes after the jour- nal for proper redress in court. ‘I'he sentiment of nine-tenths of the peo- ple of San Francisco as expressed in daily comment is that Hearst bas shown hLim- self to be a weakling. Aiter all the fury and bravado of independent and fearless journalism he hides behind a residence recently acquired in New York to shield himself. He makes a'great show o1 bold- ness when the adversary is some weak, broken-down politician” or workingman without influence, means or capacity io resist attack, but as svon as a resolute man isencountered who will stand neither bluffing nor evasion the boasted expounder of 1earless journalism cannot be found. He has fallen so low in the estimation of newspaper people that his own_employes are ashamed of his course. If punish- ment ior contempt was universal his own lawyers would be punished for contempt of their client. Andrew M. Lawrence was to have been arraigned yesterday morning before Po- lice Judze Campbell Just as the wily hireling of W. R. Hearst aid when arraigned before the last Legislature, and as he has done in the Federal courts, he wriggled and dodged the iesue, refusing to appear and answer 10 the crime of which he is accused. With the assistance of three attorneys and one Supe-ior Judge Andrew M. Law- rence managed to avoid doing what other men in this com:unity have been com- peiled to do ever since the Police Courts bave been established. Charged with a misdemeanor, he refused to obey a com- mitting magistrate’s order, and has suc- ceeded to that extent at least that he has obtained a delay by clogging up the records. When the case was called in the morn- ing Attorney Barnes stated that he did not deem it necessary to have Lawrence vresent, and he, as counsel, would plead for nim. This was objected to by Attorney Grove | | L. Johnson, representing the people of the State. He arzued that the law re- quired the delendant to plead in person at | his arraignment before ihe Police Court. General Barnes quoted one authority | showing that his position was sustained, | but Atlorney Johnson poin:ed out to the couri that the authority was only appli- cable to cases in the Superior Court. The case went over until 2 p. M., but Lawrence was not then present. ‘I desire to acquit General Barnes of any ulterior motives,” stated Attorney Johnson addressing the court, “but it is my belief that the line being parsued is a cunning altempt to take this matter out of the jurisdiction of both this and the Superior Court. i the detendant be not present for ar- raignment and has no opportunity in per- son to examine witnesses or cross-exam- | ine them, as is his privilege accordine to | the statutes, and he be heid over to be tried before the Superior Court, the plea for a dismissal there will be made with all legal right that the defendant was not permitted to cross-examine witnesses, and in fact was not present before the commit- ting magistrate at the time of the ar- raignment. This would be sufficient cause to have the case thrown out of court. ““Who and what 1s this defendant A. M. Lawrence that he should be treated with any more consideration than any uther man accused of a public offense?"” Attorney Johnson cited the case of Fitch and Pickering, who were arraigned some years ago in the Police Court before the Hon. David Louderback. The speaker represented the defendants and pleaded that it was unnecessary to have them pres- ent. Judge Louderback took a different view of the matter, and thereafter the de- fendants were in court every day of the examination. Ex-Judge Louderback, who is of coun- sel for Theodore Figel, sat next to Attor- ney Johnson as the latter was recalling the proceedings of years gone by, anc thhe]nodding and gently smiling mean- while. “Call Andrew M. Lawrence,” ordered Judee Campbell, addressing the bailiff. *“Oae moment!"” exclaimed Attorney Cluaie. “Before you call him I would like to be heard in this matter.” “Call Andrew M. Lawrence first, Mr. Bailiff, and I will hear you afterward.” Lawrence made no response, and Clunie stated that of course the defendant would be produced if the court so desired. * am here as one of counsel with Gen- eral Burnes and Mr. McEnerney. T:.e iatter is momentarily detained in another court and he would Iike to be heard in this matter. -1 would ask, then, that the case be continued over until to-morrow morn- ing ai 9 or 10 o’clocy” “I will be busy ‘at that time myself,” said the court. *I will let the matter stand for an hour. At 3:30e0’clock this afternoon you must have tue defenaant in court or I ‘shall declare his bond forfeited anc shall have to send and get him.” At the appointed hour Attorney Clunie came into court without Lawrence, but with an order issued by Superior Judge Seawell restraining Judge Campbell from issuing a bench-warrant for the arrest of Liwrence and from iorfeiting the bond. The oraer likewise set the hearing on that particular bond znd warrant question for August 23 at 10 a. M. vefore thie Superior Court. “Under the circumstances,” stated Judge Campbell, “1 do not very well see bow I can proceed with the hearing of the case. I am firmly convinced that I am right in law 10 insist on the aefendant be- ing present in person at his arrzicnment, but I can do nothing to bring him here or in the matter of 1orfeiting bis bond in the face of that restraining order. What do Hink of it, Mr. Johnson ?"' Your Honor,” answered counsel, ‘‘that order is not worlh the paper it is written on, and I, for one, as counsel, would go on with the case as 1f it had not been is- sued.”’ Judge Campbell caused some merri- ment by asking the attorney: “And_will you go to jail for me if I do proceed 2" “Mr. Barnes and I are ready to go on with the case, as we proposed to do from the start, without the presence of Mr. Law- rence,”’ said Clunie. To this Attorney Johnson objected, and the case was set for Saturday morning, 10 be reset then if it were not possible to have Judge Seawell shorten the period when the hearing is to be had in the Su- pericr Court., Immediately after this movement on the part ot Lawrence’s counsel to delay the proceedings and to shield the de- fendant from the gaze of Police Court spectators Grove L. Johnson filed a peti- tion, as foliows, to set aside the order of prohibition: In the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco, State of California. Andrew M. Lawrence, petitioner and plam- tiff, vs. J. A. Campbell as Judge of the Police Court of the City and County of San Francisco, delendant and respondent. % You and each of you will please take notice that on Monday, the 16th day of August, 1897, at the opening of court on that day at 10 A. M., or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard, the above-named defendant and respondent will move this honorabie court and Hon. J. M. Seawell, presiaing Juage and Judge thereof, at the courtroom of said court, Department 1, in the new City Hall, San Fraucisco, ¢ alifor- nia, 10 dissolve, vacat the writ of pronibition’ herein issued said court on the 12th day of August, 1897, the ground that the same wes improperiy, im- providently and iliegally fssued, and that the affiaavitand petition upon which the same was issued did not and does not state facts suflicient to authorize the issuance of said or any writof prohibition, or to constitute causé of action against this defendant spondent, and upon the hearing of this motion defendunt and respondent will rely upon all the papers on file in his action and proceeding and oral and documeniary evi- dence ihen and there to be produced. Dated San ¥rancisco, August 12, 1897. A. Spinetti aud Johnson, Linforth & Whitaker, attorneys for defebdant and re- spondent, 1o Andrew M. Lawrence, peti- tioner d plaintiff, and W. H. L. Barnes, Garret W. McEnerney and A. J. Clunie, at- torneys for said petitioner and plaintiff. This proceeding, instituted in Judge Seawell’s court to prevent a forfeiture of Lawrence’s bail in the Police Court, may strike lawyers as well as laymen as some- what extraordinary, but it must be borne in mind that the Examiner defendants are in a desperate situation. It is pos- sivle that Judge Seawell was misled by a one-sided statement of the case. No reason seems to have been shown why an Examiner defendant, charged with having committed & crime, should not appear in court just the same as any other offender. The facts in the case will be presented in full when the petition for vacating the order of prohibition comes up next Mon- day. It is safe to predict that Lawrence will be compelied to attend the sessions of the Police Court before the trial is finished or suffer a forfeiture of his bond. The arrest of Lawrence is merely an in- cident of the proceedings instituted by Cisus Spreckels. Lawrence is only a subordinate who is supposed to have some authority derived from Hearst to repre- sent the absent proprietcr. asked some questions before Notary Craig which he declined to answer, and he will be arked other questions before the same notary. The Sheriff may be called npon again to discharge his duty, and the pub- lic will be invited to see what course he will pursue. Itis well understood that Hearst will pull every string that can be reached to delay the proceedings, for he knows by this time that ultimately be must re- spond. Tricks of the law, evasions and scampering out of town to dodge service of summons will be common enough be- fore the trial is ended. Every shifty dodge to evade responsibility in court weakens Hearst in the estimation of the com- munity and deprives his paper of intlu- ence. PR i THE SACRAMENTO CASE. Patrick Reddy, Counsel for the Sheriff, Makes Denial and Explanation. SAN FRANCISCO, August 12, 1897, To the Editor of the Sin Francisco Call—DEAR SIR: My attention Las been called'to an article NEW TO-DATY. | He was | on page 12 of your issue of August 11, 1897, headed “Whelan Refuses to Obey,” in which 1 find the following: “The fact that Reddy, Campbell & Metson in the Welnstock vs. Mctlateny libel suit ad- vanced the doctrine that a notary had power to punish witnesses for contempt shows that the firm, having decided both ways, is bound 10 be right in one decision at ieast, and is, therefore, not surprising. “In_view of the opinion which Reddy, Campbell & Metson rendered to the Saeriff, and which is published herewith, itis inte esting to note the decision rendered by the Superior Court of Sacramento County in the Weinstock - McClaichy case. In that suit this law firm, now the adviserof the Sheriff of San Francisco, wns the counsel of record for the plaintiff, McClaichy. Elaborate argument was made to convince the court that the notary had power to punish for contempt, sud the court, hearing the argnment and consider- | ing the numerous authorities presented, ren- dered this decision: ‘* ‘I then must conclude, from the high au- thority given, that notaries have power under our stitutes to punish for contempt a witness who refuses to answer a question proper to be ® he lawyers employed to advise the Sheriff were not led 1into ambush. The brief whicn Johnson, Linforth & Whitaker handed over to Reddy, Campoell & Metson coniained a cita- tion of the Sacramento case, and Mr. Reddy | knew when he advised the Sheriff that nota- ries had no power to punish for contempt that | | a decision to the contrary had been rendered | | in & case in which his firm was counsel of record and in which a client of the firm | | gnined the point ut fssue.” [ Reddy, Campbell & Metson were of counsel in that case. The briefs made in this office and sent to Messrs. Bruner & Bruner, attor- | | neys for defendants, show the exact position | | taken by our firm, #nd no intimation or sug- | gestion was ever made in any of these briefs that the notary had power 10 punish for con- tempt. Reddy, Campbell & Metson did not apoear before the court on the argument of | the demurrer, it having been argued by Ei- wood Bruner. What position he may have | taken I do not know; but this I do know, that | we have never entertained and never ad- | vanced any such opinion to any one, and it is utterly untrue that Reddy, Campbeli & son, or myself, have “decided both way! have rendered any opinion on the subject il i i |’ il il o i i il !H i I i AT AT T fice. miss. ful business. other than tiat submitted to the Sheriff.” It is true that T knew of the decision rendered | by Judge Johnson in Sacramento, but with ail the respect 1 entertain for tae learning and ability of that gentleman, I differ from him on thelaw in question.

The reason the couple were married in that way was, they say, to make the cere- | mony lezal. Mr. Titus was divorced but a few months ago, and the law makes it illegal for a divorced person to marry in the State before a year after the granting of a divorce. As in other States where the law has | been tested, the way to avoid the law is to 2o to some sister State where there is no such law, or, as in this case, be married at sea. It has been given as the opinion of many good lawyers that the marriage is perfectly valid. The bride is the daugh- | ter of Mrs. Josephine Love, a well-known teacher in the Denman Grammar School. Speaking of the matter yesterday, she said: “‘The engagement of my daughter to Titus is a divorced man, and the law, as | vyou know, stood in the way of their being | married in this State before the expira- Rms. 406, T MEAL ment in town. ©0-0-00-0-0-0-0-00-0-00 ANDERSON'S PREPARATORY SCHOOL (Accredited) AUG A OF ST 2, For gue address R.
