N. A. McCoy, in th street department, was ordered sus pended until he settled certain ac- counts. Police. Officer C. F.

An Interesting Will Was Left by the Son of the Capitalist, Captain Wright, Stricken With Heart Trouble, in & Critical Condition. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 808 Broadway, Dec. 29. There is little ltkellhood that the sensational suit filed by Mrs. George S. Wright some weeks ago will ever be tried in court. agreed upon between the attorneys representing the plaintiff and Captain John T. Wright that there shall be a compromise. The nature of the com- promise will be that the capitalist shall take care of his.grand daughter, whose father has died since the suit was filed. The - complaint of Mrs. George §. Wright was flled at a time when her husband was seriously {ll. A few days ago he died, leaving one child. This daughter is to have a share of the Wright estate left by the first wife of the deceased’s father. Before his death at the Sanitorium George S. Wright made a will, which is very sensational®in its character. It contains much family history, and de- clares that his mother’s estate has not been distributed nor her Jjewelry apportioned according to her de- sires. The deceased was for many years addicted to the liquor habit, and this caused his father’s grave anxiety. At times George 8. Wright and his wife did not have the most ordinary food, and his father did all he could for their daughter, and also employed a doctor and gave him full power to act when George was stricken with his last {llness. The effect of the death of his son has been very disastrous to Captain Wright. A few hours before the fu- neral, which took place yesterday, the aged capitalist was stricken with an attack of heart trouble more serious than he had experienced before, and he is now very sick. He could not at- tend the funeral, and on account of his age, being nearly 70, there are grave doubts as to the result of the attack. ———— DETECTIVES AT WORK. OAKLAND, Dec. 29.—This city was | scoured last night by San Francisco detectives, who were hunting for George Taushi, the Japanese who shot and killed Mary Castillo, & young Spanish girl, in 8an Francisco Sunday afternoon.

Medical Experts May Not Get Any Fees for Testifying for the Defense. | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 29. The trial of Clara Fallmer will prob- ably conclude to-morrow night. The argumentative stage has been reached and the attorneys hope to conclude talking by 6 p. m. to-morrow. An ef- fort will then be made to have the Judge charge the jury that the case midnight. This morning medical experts again took the stand and were examined and cross-examined by the attormeys. At the conclusion of Dr. Rucker’s testi- | mony Deputy District Attorney Melvin | asked permission to put some witnesses | on the stand whose exisience and tes- timony he was not aware of till yester- day afternoon. wonld go to the impeachment of the defendant and to show that Ladue's rejection of her would not have possi- bly resulted in insanity. Delphine Eustchy, a domestic of Al- ameda, told of a conversation with Clara Fallmer on the morning of the 2d of August, the day of the shooting, in which Clara had stated that she had quarreled with Charley and had stayed at the house next door, where the only | occupant at that time was a China- man. At another time sheé said Clara told her she woumld be 18 in August: of this year. This witness admitted on cross-examination that she was not friendly with the defendant, and after- ward stated that Clara had once spent a whole week at the Harrison house with the Chinaman as the only other occupant. The other witnesses for the prosecu- tion were not on hand, and it was stated that an effort to serve a sub- poena on Loufe Chung, the former servant of the Harrison house, had been unsuccessful. The prosecution opened its argument by A. A. Moore Jr. this afternoon. At- torney George W. Reed will follow; A. L. Frick will close to-morrow after- noon, and H. A. Melvin will finish the case for the prosecution. The court will then be requested to take a recess for dinner and charge the jury at an evening session. There has been much testimony from medical experts during the trial, and | much interest has been shown in an opinion recently rendered to the Su- pervisors by District Attorney Snook, regarding expert testimony. The opin- | fon will result in quite a saving to defendants, because Mr. Snook holds that he may incur any bill he sees fit and certify to it. thereby making its payment compulsory with the board. His opinion concludes that “the weight of authorities rather inclines to the opinfon that the experts may be re- quired to answer questions (which have not required any examination of per- sons or things) without additional com- pensation other than the regular wit- ness fee allowed by law.

Clute, ‘was resumed be- | fore Judge Joachimsen yesterday | morning. Prosecuting Attorney Gra- | ham, assisted by Attorney Baker, con- ducted the prosecution, and Attorney Schooler represented the defendant. Chief Lees, Detectlve Seymour and As- | sistant District Attorney Hosmer took deep interest in the proceedings. | Hoft sat close to his attorney and | appeared to be one of the most uncon- | cerned men in the court-room. He ls- } | tened with close attention to Mrs. | | Legg's testimony and seemed relleved | | when it was over. The evidence of the witnesses exam- | ined was practically the same as thnti | given at the coroner’'s inquest, and At- | torney Schooler's cross-examination | | falled to throw any further light upon | | the circumstances attending the mur- | der. Mrs. L. A. Legg of San Jose, who was | at the time of the murder living on the ground floor of the house 803 Guerrero street, testified to the defendant calling | at the house on the afternoon of the| murder and as to seeing him leaving. Bhe asked him, on the second visit next day with Detective Seymour, why he left so hurriedly when her father called | to him, and he replied that he did not | hear her father speak to him. Miss Stacla R. Blanchard, 924 Green- | wich street, testified to subletting the flat at 803 Guerrero street to Mrs. Clute | and produced a receipt for the rent of the fiat. Mrs. Mary C. Masterson, 228% Page | street, who lived next door to Mrs. Clute before her removal to Guerrero street, testified to Hoff calling at her | house and complaining about being dis- appointed at not getting employment from Mrs. Clute that day. Joseph Foley, 27 Railway avenue, and Harry Jackson, 343 Arlington street, the two men who were in the house laying the carpets when Hoff called, testified to seeing him talking with Mrs. Clute. They repeated the evidence given by them at the inquest. Percy Armstrong, 12 Liberty street, testified to seeing Hoff golng along the street on the afternoon of the murder. Armstrong called to him| “Hello, Mr. Hoff,” and Hoff replied, “Hello, Mr. Armsitrong,” and walk- ed on. | Mayer May, who identified the coup- | ling pin as being in Hoff's possession about two years ago, was under cross- examination when the court adjourned until 11 o'clock this morning. | ‘William R. Phillips, 3670 Seventeenth | street, called at police headquarters | yesterday morning, and, on being| taken to the City Prison by Detective | Seymour, identified Hoff' as the man | who made a savage attack on his wife | about two years ago because she re- | fused to give him employment. She | wanted scme changes made in the fur- nishing of her home and Hoff applied for the work. | His manner displeased her and she | | ordered him from the house. He re- | fused to leave and rushed at her. She | fled from him and locked herself in a | room. Hoff left the house swearing. | He was arrested and gave the name | of Paul Benzelovitz. Mrs. Phillips re- fused to prosecute him, as he might return to the house and injure her, so the case was dismissed. | Phillips says that his wife is sick at | home, otherwise she would have ap- | | peared as a witness against Hoff. | —_————— CARPENT;RBISHPPEH RS. | Married but Four Weeks fAgo, Hei Sells His Store for a Watch | and Skips.

There is every reason to believe that the celebration will be a success not only in general effect but that some of the minor features will constitute in themselves shows mag- nificent and impressive. The Golden Jubilee parade for instance, now be- | ing planned, will be a picturesque pageant, glittering with color and rich in emblems appropriate to the occa- sion. It will tell the story of Califor- njan progress, taking the observer back to the days of the Argonauts and | then carrying him by a series of living views into the present again. So | much interest is belng taken in this | and so many letters about it have been received as to make certain that a vast multitude will be here as spec- tators, drawn by a desire to look upon this especial part of an extensive pro- gramme. Colonel A. Andrews of the Veteran Volunteer Firemen, and Joseph Mar- shall of the Exempt Firemen, reported to the Jubilee Parade Committee yes- terday the intention of their respect- fve associations to participate. Colonel Andrews has been selected by ‘the | Veterans as an aild to Grand Marshal Morse; while Joseph Figel will occupy the same position for the Exempt firemen from Vallejo have commumi- | cated to the local Veteran Volunteers that they will brlnE to this city a hook and ladder and pArade together with theryp. The Exempt Firemen have in- vited a company of firemen from San Jose to come down with their fire ap- paratus and join forces with them on January 24th, Joseph Marshall, of the Exempt Firemen, who is a member of the Board of Fire Commissioners, has held a consultation with Chief Sulli- van in regard to procuring sufficient men and apparatus to form a separ- ate firemen’s division in the Jubilee parade. The success of the project, which will come before the Board of Fire Commissioners at their meeting | this afternoon, seems assured. As an assistance to the Parade Committee Charles Lane will bring to this city for the Jubilee parade a brass band of thirty-two pleces com- | posed of the best musicians in Cala- veras, Tuolumne and Amador coun- ties. This aggregation will be cos- tumed in the attractive and handsome uniform of the Utica company of An- gels Camp, Calaveras county. The foliowing committee, known as the “El Dorado Committee of the Semi- Centennial Golden Jubilee and Mining Fair,” has been selected from the citi- zens of Placerville: Thomas Clark, H. B. Pickett, D. H. Jackson, George Plerce, Max Meirson. H. S. Morey, R. 8. Raw, E. 8. Bosquit, George Hofmeis- ter apd Prentiss Carpenter. This com- mittee will be guided by the Golden Jubilee executive committee. A. Meyer, J. M. Fogg and Fred Eg- gers, delegates of the Hannoveraner Turn Verein, have informed the Jubi- lee parade committee that the society will enter 150 mounted men in the par- ade and perhaps an additional number in carriages. As the emblem of the society is a white horse, members of the order will all be mounted on white horses. They will wear black military | hats and white and yellow sashes across the breast. The verein will con- fer with the Germania Club and other similar organizations in regard to se- curing their alliance. The Jubflee parade committee con- | templates having the marshal's divis- | fon in the parade wear white'som- | breros and the divisian of aids wear | black sombreros. At their meeting to- and designs for sombreros will be con- sidered. All hatters are invited to be present with their goods. Although some 550 invitations to various organizations in this city have been extended the parade committee Is anxious that none should be over- locked. To this end the committee is desirous of receiving the names of all organizations which have not received an invitation. * A meeting of the celebration commit- tee of the Society of California Plo- neers was held yesterday afternoon, with John H. Jewett in the chair. It was decided that invitations should be immediately sent to John Rose, as well as to the five companions of Mar- shall, in order that they shall be able to prepare themselves immediately for the journey to California. J. S. Hittell was authorized by the committee to assume the entire re- sponsibility In perfecting arrange- ments for the transportation of these ploneers from their homes to San Francisco. A reception committee was appointed, composed of General W. H. Pratt, Almarin B. Paul, J. S. Hittell and John H. Jewett, to provide for the accommodation of the old-timers while guests in_this city.

Council with no recommendation, it being the opinion of tite committee that as it would be debated in the Council it was no use going over it twice. Theodore Gier was on hand to oppose it, but made no speech except to say that no man could be prevent- ed from going on any number of bonds 80 long as he had the necessary se- curity. Harry N. Morse sent a communica- tion denouncing the Superintendent of Streets, and Mr. Miller made a speech in reply. He and Mr. Morse have clashed over street work in Athol ave- nue, and it is likely that no more per- mits will be given Mr. Morse until a truce has been concluded. The ordinance granting the South- ern Pacific Company a franchise need- ed for its approach to the new Harri- | son-street bridge was recommended for passage when the petition has been awarded. . The resolution calling for the cutting down of three trees in front of old Oli- | ver Lindsay's property produced an unusual scene. Four members of the committee declined to vote, and Cuvel- lier voted no, so the old man's trees, when a boy and which bhave grown up with him, may be spared. NARROW ESCAPE FROM GAS POISONING. OAKLAND, Dec. 29.—Mrs. Carrie Langham was found in an uncon- scious condition in her room at the Henry House to-night at 9:30 o'clock from gas poison.

The idea of the society is to present a historical float, which will form a pleasing con- trast with the allegorical floats to be entered by the jubilee parade commit- tee. The oommittee authorized to make the selection desires to have all designs submitted at Pioneers’ Hall. It is the opinion of the Pioneers that it would be an excellent idea to have the arch spanning Market street sur- mounted by a representation of Sut- ter's fort, since that, though present- ing to the pioneers the mouths of can- non, was the first sign of welcome in the land of gold. Their idea is to have Sutter on one side representing “Welcome,” and Marshall on the other representing ‘“Wealth.” R BEFORE THE COUNCIL. Liquor Question Referred—Lind- say’s Trees May Be Spared.
