The new :charter s reviewed at length, and the Plain ‘Talk to Public Characters, addressed ‘this. week to Rail- road Commissioner Willlam M. Hinton, is well worth raading. The musical criti-| cisms, the society side-lights, the person- alities and the theatrical review are some of the Wasp's departments that are par- ticularly good this week.

OFFICERS ARE BEING SHIELDED Witnesses in the Haynes Ex- amination Have Faulty Memories. Cannot Tell How the Policemen Acted ‘When Lieutenant Burke Met His Death. Judge Conlan’'s courtroom was again crowded yesterday afternoon with curious sectators, who stretched their necks to get a view of the eccentric murderer of Lieutenant Lurke. The testimony elicited the hearing was similar to that v published, and the constant ques- ng of .ue attorneys for the defense prosecution over beaten paths became ng to the court and listeners. At one stage Judge Conlan’s feelings could not be restrained, an. he pettishly said: “Let this witness go, for God's sake; he has answered that time and a=ain.” Chief Lees was an interested listener to the proceedings, and would often prompt Prosecuting Attorney Mogan for the pose of emightening himself on the con- duct of his officers during the exciting | scenes surrounding the brave lieutenant’s death, Witnesses examined were averse to tell- ing what the arresting officers did by evasively answering that they did not see them, their attention being centered on Burke and Haynes. Attorneys Wilson and Sweeney’s erforts were mainly directed toward getting an admission from the witnesses Burke's menacing front was the reason why Haynes shot, but without success. V<, Y : DN The New President of the San Francisco Art Association. OSEPH D. GRANT has been chosen to preside over the destinies of the San Francisco Art Association for the ensuing year, and a better selection could not have been made. The board of directors, consist- ing of Messrs. J. D. Grant, James D. Phelan, L. P. Latimer, Edward Bosqui, H. G. Platt, George Whittell, James W. Byrne, Arthur Rodg- ers, Henry Heyman, Irving M. Scott and William G. Stafford, elected last Tuesday, met at the Hopkins Art Institute yesterday and selected the fol- lowing officers: Joseph D. Grant, presideat; Edward Bosqui, first vice-pres- ident; L. P. Latimer, second vice-president; William G. Stafford, secretary; George Whittell, treasurer. Mr. Grant has been a member of the association since its organization and has labored hard for its success. He has served twice on the board of directors and his selection as president is only well-merited recognition of his services in behalf of art and artists. A man of wealth and always a iiberal patron of art, Mr. Grant in his new position will work with increased interest for ‘he advancement of art and the welfare of the association. His advancement will be hailed with de- light by the fraternity for he has always been ready to extend a helping hand to struggling artists. ages.

Wilkinson, Merchant, Marlowe and Kennedy were stationed on the northwest corner of Peralta avenue, but when the shots were fired they shiffed around. He saw Marlowe firing at Haynes when he came out to deuver the other shots at the | | lieutenant and pick up his_pistol, but | could not see the others, and did not know where they went; .iat after Burke lay on the ground ten minutes Patrol-Wagon | Driver Cashel pulled him down the hill, | assisted by Jounny .ucGrath. He saw | them put the wounded officer in a | | stretcher and then lift him into the pa- trol-wagon.

The Supreme Court has handed down a decision which will cause some rejoicing among the attorneys of the State, for it establishes as law that when a man places his case in the hands of a law- yer he has no right to settle the difficulty | out of court without the knowledge and consent of his attorney. M. G. Wyllie brought an action against the Sierra Gold | Company to recover money. An amended | complaint was filed on November 4, | 1896. To this a general demurrer was | flled Dby the defendant, which was | overruled and ten days allowed to answer. No answer having been | filed on December 4, the clerk of the | court, upon application of the attorney | for the plaintiff, was directed to enter a judgment in default for the amount. On | the same day, but a little later, the de- fendant filed a notice of a motion to set aside the judgment and permit the de- | fendant to answer. He gave as his reason that he had | been taken by surprise, in this, that the | plaintiff” had extended the time to an- | swer to December 8, and he produced aflidavits to show that In the interim the | two partles to the action had been con- | sidering a compromise by means of let- | ters and conversations. On hearing, his | petition was denied by the lower court, | from which ruling he appealed. The Su- | greme Court holds that the party losi y this failure to answer has no redre: for *his attorney should have known be! ter than to allow the matter to go b the board in such a way, ‘and says: “When a party appears and is represent- ed by an attorney of record he cannot himself assume control of the case, and if he signs a stipulation dismissing the action or extending the time for any pur- pose, the stipulation will have no ef- fect tgpd will be disregarded by the court.! e Special German Gathering.

Woman He Adored Took His Coin and Then Married Another. Justice Groezinger Decides for the Defendant After Some Reading Letters. ‘“Love’s labor and money lost” was the burden of a tale of woe that was told in Justice of the Peace Groezinger’'s court) yesterday. Alonzo Mclver was Howard and Emelie suing Frank P. Howard for $150, the action when she was yet a single woman. Mclver, according to' his own admissions on the stand, was desperately in love with the fair Emelie, and was at the time the money was alleged to have been advanced the possessor of consid- erable coin. e was a habitue of the race track and a plunger in a way. She who afterward became Mrs. How- ard accepted his presents and attentions, the former including numerous sums of money that were itemized In the bill of particulars. ‘While Emelie and Alonzo were friends, according to the testimony, she was ac- customed to draw on him for whatever funds she needed. These items began along about March, 1896, and the first sum that Mclver alleged to be due him was $5 which Mclver said was advanced to | enable the lady of his affections to join the French Benevolent Society. Then came an item that reads as follows: Cash, July 10, 1896, when F. P. Howard broke his leg, $10. F. P. Howard is the party defendant. About this time Mclver's inamorata de- cided to go East, and the bill of particu- second-class ticket tnat was to carry her there. When Mrs. Howard's father needed some shirts and other little necessities Mclver's complaint says that he paid for them at a well-known haberdasher’s on Market street. ‘then there was $20 cash advanced when the lady in the case was out of funds. In September, 189, the prospective Mrs. | Mclver was in Wellington, Kan., and wanted to return to San Francisco. The plaintiff’s itemized account says that he advanced her $50 for that purpose. Al- together he claims that he “loaned” the And yet when she came back from the East she united her life and fortunes | with Howard, who, because he is her| husband, is made a party defendant In the case. Mclver alleged that he had parted with his coin because the fair Emelie had requested the money 1n the nature of loans. Mrs. Howard said that | the money was presented to her in the | nature of tokens of Mclver's affections. | To prove that Mclver was head over heels in love with her Mrs. Howard pro- duced Mrs. George W. Parsons as a wit- ness in her behalf. The witness, a dash- ing blonde, whose husband works with Howard as a telegraph operator in the office of a morning daily, and who was formerly Mrs. Lulu Peel, .estified that | Mclver had escorted her home on more | than one .occasion, and while on these pleasant journeys had poured forth his tale of love for the lovely Emelie. “What was your condition as to sobri- ety while with MclIver?” asked the at- torney for the plaintiff when Mrs. Par- sons finished her story. The lawyer's in- tention was apparently to show that there had been a jolly liue time. Jus- tice Groezinger ruled out the question, however, and the indignant Mrs. Parsons To clinch its case the defense intro- duced a large number of .etters written by Mclver to the lady who jilted him, in which he used every endearing name | known to lovers and spelled “pet’” “peat.” | He told her there was nothing he would not do for her; that his heart, his hand and his fortune were at her feet, and that, though she did not answer his let- | ters as regularly as he wishéd, he.loved | her still. After reading these endearing epistles Justice Groezinger decided that the sums advanced could not have been exactly in the nature of loans and gave judgment against Mclver.
