Special Dispatch to THE CaLrn SACRAMENTO, Car, Oct. 8.—When the yellow journal ouific predicted a fail- | ure ‘or the California State L.ague it counted wrongiy on the public, which loves the national game and despises the man, or set of men, who would trafficupon the interest of the people and the integrity of the plavers. Baceball has tnrived in California and it | has declined. It bas thrived when every- | thing connected with i1t was done “‘on the square” and the m=pagement shared the confidence and respect of the peonle. It | has declined whenever that confidence has been abused; it nas died out whenever | that confidence has been lost. But for the organization of the Cali- | fornia State L2ague, baseball would to-day be on the decline. The crooked work, the deception practiced, the contemptible advantages taken of both players and putlic in the Examiner tournament was rapidly bringing ba-eball to a final and inglorious end, and but for the wise and | prompt action of the straightforward | | managers of the Stockton, Sacramento, Oakland and San Francisco teams its revival in California would have been | most aifficult. | Asit is the public has taken a renewed interest. When a man now pays his ad- | mission into the grounds he does so with | no doubt in his mind as to whether he is | contributing to the profits of the yellow journal’s agents or aiding charitv. He knows now that the players woo furnisn bhim with amusewent are mostly inter- ested, and from them does he receive in return an honest endeavor to give him his money’s worth. So deep has been the interest mani- | fested that next Sunday, when the game ! is called, there will be two carloads of vis- iting enthusia<ts from Stockton who wili cheer their nine to victory or groan with them in defeat. The game next Sunday will be the third | one played in Sacramento under the California State L>ague, and a large crowd | will no doubt be present. The foilowing | will be the make-up: Giit Edges.

N0 GOLDEN BALM FOR HER HEART. Mrs. Crandall Number One Loses Her Action for Damages. INONSUITED BY THE COURT. Affection of Her Husband Not Alienated by Mrs. Thompson. PLAINTIFF’'S LETTERS TO *JOEDY DEAR.” Gushing Epistles to a Detective, Who Afierward Sold Them to the Defense. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 8.—Romance have crowded one another the trial of the suit of Mrs. Crandall against Mrs. Clara The plaintiff in the which was decided to-day, prayed Mary R. the affections and protection of E. E. Mrs. Crandall No. 1 charged that she had been injured to that amount by the atienstion of her former husband’'s love. The court did not take that view of the case and the plaintiff was nonsuited. Some interesting features wero devel- oped in tiie course of the court proceed- ings yesterday, not the least of which were the love letters of the plaintiff to Joseph E. Gross, a private detective, the letters having been written atter the suit had been filed. Learning of the trouble beiween the plaintiff and her husband, Gross wormed himself into the confidence of Mrs. Mary R. Crandall in 18294, and was engaged to all to obtain evidence then Mrs. Clara Thompson. Mrs. Cranaall evidently soon iost her heart, or the remnants of that shattered organ, to her crafty emplove, and wrote to him the spicy letters pro- duced in evidence yesterday. Recently Gross, always with an eye to the main chance, sold those interested | epistles to the successiul rival of his em- ployer. Gross bas been singularly concerned in other divorce cases and in no instance did he fail to work both sides to his own gain. | The last escapade of Gross was at Sacra- mento. He obtained a place as janitor in He is said to bave sold out his salary warrants in advance and come to this city. The oc- currence was the subject of considerable newspaper comment. Mrs. Crandall No. 1 procured a divorce from her husband in Cincinnati on April | 22, 1894. On the 7th of May following the present suit was instituted and on Decem- ber 4, 1895, Cranaall mairied Mrs. Thomp- son, the defendant. The latter is a decid- edly nandsome woman and is worth in her own right about $100.000. The story of the romance in the ca:e is as follow| Twenty-seven years ago Mr. Cranaall was a poor apprentice in the great O’Brien dry-goods store in St. Louis. He met his employer’s granddaughter and they feil in love. The wealthy o!d man objected {0 the match and in despair young Cran- da 1 went to South America. Years later the lovers met again in Los Angeles. He was married and she was Mrs. Thompson. How the old passion was renewed the trial has disclosed. The woman secured a divorce from Thompson by giving him, it is said, $20,000. It was largely on the strength of the let- LIEUTENANT GEORGE W.

They teemed with the fire of affection for her ‘“‘Joedy Dar- ling.” Excerpts from these love missives follow : Pico HeiuTs, Tuesday, 8:07 P. M., August 28, 1894, Dear Love: The look in your eyes haunts me. Ismiled & good-by to you from the porch, but my heart cried out to yo Do not go; do notleave me”; and you, my restless boy, did you f.el reiuctant? I fancy that you did When you tossed your ticket down at the time. 1f only they knew a thing or two it would open thefr eyes. 1 have been thinking about tue plan suggested by you to-day, and I think that to let him kuow that we know of that circumstence wouid be against me. for if he koew thet you had suci affidavits he would tell Mrs. T. and she would subbena them, and thus tuzsn it 10 her advantage. We will think, aear love, of some other plan. 1intended to write a long, sweet letter, and | have paper tosuit. Can you bear the inflic- | tion, den darling, T will say good, night. Please imagine me beside you, and that I have pat my arms around your neck and that I am kissing your dear, dear mouth many, many times and whispering to you “Dear heartof mine, good-night, good-night” Think ofien | o L Wednesday, 3 p. ».—Well, Joedy. darling, if | 1 remember rigui 1 toid you that I would not | write you any loving love letters, but I thougnt perhups you might be a little heart- hui gry. so 1 have puta little love in thi- one. lum not nearly so happy to-day as I have | been tately. 1tell you whatitis, Joedy aear, it heips us eppreciat: people when they are goue. I thought that I fuliy understood your worth to me aud your part in my life, ba. I don’t think that I did, for 1 miss you so very, very much, my darling boy, and I am sure the next two or taree weeks wiil be unusualiy long ones. Well, let come what may, so my Joedy dar- ling does not forget to love me. The rest makes but 1i.tle difference. Hearthunger and heart sickness are worse than death, my dar- ing, and I pray that neither may ever again come 1o you or to your LOVEY. An even warmer atmosphere surrounds alater letier. It also was dated from Pico Heights and was indited *“Thursday night, September 13, 1894.” 1t is addressed to | *Joedy, darling.” After writing of a case which was then pending in Judge Ross’ | court, the woman who claimed at that time to be suffering from the loss of ber | husband’s affection to the value of $50,000, | wrote to her “Joedy, dearie”’ these words: | I mailed you a letter to-day, darling, written after reaaing yours tuat told me ol your u certainty as to what to do. It is needless, J dearie, for me 1o tell you I write 1t with a heart pang. Sweetheart, I do not see how would face the heart-huuger ana the loneli- ness without you, my darling; but rather than staud for one moment in your way, rather than be detrimental to your interests, I would never ook on your face again. It is not because I do not love you, Joedy, aear, but be- cause I do love you, thatIsay thesé things, | und because of my consuming love. | It wou.d nearly kill mein the future if vou should say or feel that perhaps it wonld have been better if all had been different. Iknow you love me, Joe, and Iat sure I love you— absolutely sure, sure. 1 miss you more than I can teil. Now, my own dear heart, Iam tired and have yet to hunt up a paper I wish to use to- morrow, so I will stop and add a few lines to- morrow. Justput your loving arms around me, dear love, and let me lean against you and kiss my Joedy derling, for Iam heartsore and weary and lonely. My dearest Joedy, good night. Good-by, my darling. Hoping that soon you will be with me, 1 am your LoviE. | “Joedy’s”’ replies were rather melan- choly in tone. He seemed to be drifting | to destruction, with no hand to rescue or | save, or something to that effect. | Counsel for tne plaintiff aitempted to | exclude the letters, as having no bearing on the case, but Attorney Stephens ex- plainea that it was their desire to show that plaintiff within one short month after she had sworn to the complaint that | lile was wrecked was writing burning let- | ters of love to another man. Ex-Judge Stephens, counsel for the de- | fense, introduced tbe motion for anon- | suit on the ground that the plaintiff had | not shown cause for action and that pre- vicus to the appearance of the defendant i on the scene there had been an esirange- ment and alienation between the plaintiff and her former husband. The motion was taken under considera- tion, and this morning Judge Van Dyke granted it. ‘““Ihere is no satisfactory evidence of any real affection having existed between the two since their breach in December, 1591, said the court. ‘“Of course, any- iling be.ore that is cut off by the statute of limitation. In regard to the alleged reconciliation at Nashvilie in 1892 there is nothing in the evidence to pomnt to such fact, except the testimony of the pluintiff, and naturaily the testimony of a party to the action must be held as far inferior to documentary evidence, which consisted of let ers invariably unfriendly. “Even if 1t be admitted she desired a reconciliation, and in fact had strong ai- fection for her husbang, that does not show that her husband had any affection for her, or desired a reconciliation. The motion for nonsuit is sranted.” Itis believed the plaint.ff will take an appeal. In the meantime, thereisanother suil to come up against Mr. Crandall, wherein Mrs. Mary R. Crandall asks that Crandall be required to account for about §50,000, alleged to have been used by him 1n his vusiness in trust for the plaintiff. STATE GRANGE RESOLUTIONS.
