14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALIL, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1898 OSCAR LUNING SUES WHITTELL FOR A MILLION Grave Charges Against the Late lillionaire’s Exec- utor and Son=in=Law. Superior Court Asked to Make De- fendant Restore the Property of Plaintiff and Account of There i{s & great scandal {n the Lun- ing estate. Oscar T. Luning, one of the sons of the late millionaire, Nicholas Luning, has sued Bxecut.r George Whittell for an accounting, charging him with crimes enough to make a Dick Turpin blush. Whittell is plaintiff’s brother-in-law. He is also one of the executors of the Luning estate, valued at nearly eight millions, and president of the corpora- | tion that now manages the Luning es- tate. The suit was flled yesterday in the Superfor Court. It practically alleges that George Whittell has defrauded plaintiff out of about a million dollars by schemes, trickery and devices equiv- alent to the methods of a bunko swind- ler. That the story told in the plead- ings may be intelligible to the public a few preliminary facts should be borne | in mind. Nicholas Luning died on August 1, 1890, leaving a will which disposed of an estate valued at nearly seven and a half million dolla: Six and a quarter of those millions were invested in Gov- ernment bonds and cash notes on such men as the Crockers and Huntington, 1 of which were soon converted into | c He left five children, two sons and three daughters, to wit: John and Oscar Luning and en Fife, Anna nt, and Clara George Whittell, who is the Pac Union Club, Langhorne were execu- The estate was to defe Whittell, w ham. dent of tat be divided equally among the heirs. 11 is now president and Lang- | retary of the corporation s the Luning estate. | > heirs were married wo- omed to business, while was averse to and Oscar, the plain- y addicted to liquor . at which time he equally reformed and opened his eyes, as he > fact t he had been of pink dream, during | ays, Whittell operated that were dark and > vain, luring him into | signing papers and do- | ing other things that have resulted in stripping him of everything he has ex- cept the income on $500,000.

The | nominal capital was ten millions, but the real value was that of the estate, three-quarters of the ten millions. There were one hundred shares, twenty for each heir. A dividend was paid to each heir within a year. John Luning remained away nearly all taking no part in the business tate, while Oscar was ineapa- citated from drink. One day, so runs the story, Whittell said to Oscar Luning: “You are drink- ing so much that you will be foolish enough some day to assign your whole —— ADVERTISEMENTS.

You had better give it to me in trust.” Oscar Luning agreed without further discussion. Whittell gave him a decla- | ration of trust wherein he acknowl- | edged that he (Whittell) held $500,000 in trust for plaintiff in this suit, and | whereby he agreed to pay half of the | income thereof to Oscar Luning, and | half to his wife. This agreement has | been fulfilled, and so far as Osear Lun- | ing can discover the income of the half- | million thus described is all that is left | to him out of what should be one-fifth of nearly eight millions. The suit filed yesterday asks Whittell what has be- come of the balance of a million dollars. Incidentally it appears that plaintiff | recently demanded an accounting for | the missing million, whereupon Whit- | tell denfed that there was anything due, | asserting that the $500,000 payment was | for all of plaintiff’s right, title and in- | terest. i According to statements of the| plaintiff Whittell seems to have taken | a fatherly interest in Oscar in another way. It Is said that once when Oscar | was very i1l at San Jose, Whittell drew a will for the sick man to sign. It made | the president of the Luning Company | sole executor of the will, without bonds, | and provided that Whittell was also to be guardian of Oscar’s children. A ear afterward Whittell seems to have He came He made it read guardian “of all lawful | children,” whereas it had before read | “guardian of my children.” The suit filed yesterday follows in the wake of a settlement which John Lun- | ing forced some time ago. He discov- ered that he was in the same predica- | ment that confronts Oscar to-day. He hired lawyers, and after a number of | detected an error in the will. back and had Oscar sign it again. | conferences he was paid $950,000 to let go. If the pleadings and the story of| Oscar Luning are true George Whittell | has not only had sole control of the Luning finances and estate ever since | the death of the well-known million- | aire, but he has emulated Warren | Hastings in the darkest pages of the history that chronicles the hard luck | of the Begums and other princes of | India. The details of the story are | like the pages from a buccaneer’s jour- | nal. | The pleadings assert that Whittell and Langhorne represented that It would be necessary, in order to carry | out the provisions of the last will and | testament, to sell considerable of the property at a sacrifice, and to establish the corporation before referred to, mak- | ing the executors the principal officers thereof. In pursuance of this recom- mendation the heirs transferred their | interests to the corporation. It is averred that Whittell has had almost sole control of the estate ever since the | formation of the corporation in August, | 1891, It was in April of this year that Os- car made a demand for an accounting, which Whittell refused. Andrew D.| Parker, a well-known member of the| New York bar, came to this city about | that time, joining E. F. Preston and | J. W. Bourdette as attorneys for Lun- | ing in the matters that have now| reached the court. The three are the | | attorneys of record in the case. | The prayer of the petition filed yes- terday asks that Whittell be required | to account to plaintiff for all property | held in trust, together with all the| rents and incomes on all property other | than the $500,000 held in trust. It is requested that the trust be de- termined and ended without delay, and that Whittell be required to deliver to Luning all property alleged to be held in trust and all other property said to be that of plaintiff. One of the concluding allegations of the complaint is as follows: “After the trust of five hundred thousand dollars there remained in the hands .~ the de- fendant, in trust for plaintiff. property of the value of at least one million dol- lars, of which no account has at any time been rend red or made by the de- fendant, and the defendant has never at any time p id over or accounted for any part or portion of said last-men- tioned property, or of the income, rents, issues or profits thereof.” | It is then set forth in detall that de- | | fendant failed and wholly refused, when asked to make an account, to render any statement whatever, the de- mand being made ca the 9th of last month. It is expected that the case will be urged to trial without delay and that | there will be some strong efforts to have Whittell explain in detail all he | has done in the estate, why he has dons it; also that he will detail how much he has earned as executor and man- ager of the estate and as president of the Luning Company. Counselor Parker is here with the intention of remaining and devoting all his energies to the case until it is fin. ally determined. Messrs. Preston and Bourdette will also do all In their power to see that the matters at issue are determined without delay. Several sen. sations are expected during the hear- ing. New Piano and Music House.

Lively Scrimmage on Haight Street ‘Which Awakened the Neigh- borhood. Policemen Peter Whalen and Willlam Irvine had a mix up near the Chutes at an early hour yesterday morning, and as the result the latter's head is swathed in bandages. Last night they were both sus- pended by Captain Wittman, pending an investigation by the Police Commission. According to Whalen's story he was patrolling his beat when he saw Irvine and another officer named George Silver. They were some distance away, and as they approached Whalen, Irvine re- marked: “Whalen was never any good. I think he is a dirt. — He repeated the remark several times, andas Whalen walked up to him,intending to ask him what he meant, Irvine drew his revolver, and placing it against his| fellow officer’s head, threatened to shoot. | Whalen quickly pulled out his club and | brought it down on Irvine's head, cutting a deep gash, and felling him to the ground. Silver then took a hand in the scrap, and separated the combatants after considerable trouble. Irvine afterward went to a drug store in the vicinity, where the wound in his head | was dress Captain Wittman in some way learned of the trouble between the officers and he sent for them. Irvine, when ques- tioned, denied that he used the remark attributed to him by Whalen, but admit- teu that he had drawn his revolver on | him. He explained his action by saying that he thought Whalen intenaed to do him up, and he concluaed not to take any | chances. | Silver, however, corroborated Whalen's | statement that Irvine referred to him in vile terms. rormal charges of unofficerlike conduct were filed against the three policemen last night. They will be given an oppor- tunity to explain thefr conduct at the meeting of the Board of Police Commis- sioners next Monday night. IN A BOWER OF SPRING BLOSSOMS Wedding of Miss Melita Robinson and George T. Tallant. “Lue wedding of Miss Melita Robinson, daughter of the late Dr. Luke Robinson, and George T. Tallant of the Tallant Banking Company of this city, was quiet- 1y celebrated yesterday afternoon at haif- past 3 at the residence of the bride’s mother on Steiner street. Archbishop Riordan, assisted by Father Mulligan, performed the ceremony in the presence of only the immediate friends of the family. It was a typleal spring wedding. White | was the prevailing color tone of the dec- | orations, which were unusuady pretty and artistic. In the drawing room a| bower of dainty spring blossoms and | clinging smilax was erected, and it was | here the happy couple stood while they | exchanged vows and plighted their troth. | The bride was attended by her _sister, Miss Bernardette Robinson, who officiated as maid of honor, and Aifred Wileox of Los Angeles was best man. Dr. Frank Robinson, brother of the bride, gave her into the safekeeping of the groom. Miss Robinsoa made a remarkably beau- tiful bride and looked extremely pretty with oint lace, the same which adorned , the bridal dress of her mother. Miss Bernardette Robinson wore a white | mousseline de sole over white silk and | carried bridemaid's roses. The presents were elegant, numerous and costly. Mr. and Mrs. Tallant left last evening for Tahoe, where they will spend their honeymoon, and on their return they will_reside with Mrs. Robinson at her residence on Steiner street. —_———————— MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

One of the most barefaced attempts to coerce a judicial officer into render- ing a judgment in favor of a certain litigant has come within the experience of Justice of the Peace G. W. F. Cook, according to the statement made by that gentleman yesterday in the pres- ence of four witnesses. The man charged with the offense is Harry Barron, a deputy in the office of the County Clerk, who came into no- toriety two days ago as a manipulator of warrants on the Piper plan of multi- plex hypothecation. When his advances were rejected with indignation by | Judge Cook Barron threatened to take the case in question out of Cook’s court | if he had to resort to a writ of prohi- bition. The writ of prohibition was served on Judge Cook yesterday. Some weeks ago suit was nstituted in the case of A. von Bargen against the Demaray Provision Company et al. The defendants were Mrs. Demaray, I W. T. Unfug and Francis J. Barry. The amount sought to be recovered was $213 for goods sold and delivered. The | attorneys for the plaintiff are Willlam Tomsky and Moses G. Cobb. The plain- tiff’s attorney‘is P. L. Benjamin. The case was assigned to Judge Cook. Judge Cook thus relates the remarka- ble incident which occurred before the case came up for a hearing: “Harry Barron, a deputy in the Coun- ty Clerk’s office, came to me and said: ‘I want to ask a favor of you. You have got tha case of Von Bargen against the Demaray Provision Company before you.! I told him that I had. “‘I wish you would see if you can’t give judgment for the defendant,” he said. “I replied in anger: ‘What do you mean by talking to me that way? You Harry Barron nce Him. Progress of are asking me to do an act of injustice?’ “ ‘Well, they will stop you with a | writ of prohibition,” was his answer. “To this I retorted: ‘I am going to| try this case on its merits. Don’t you come near me again.’ He then left me and the matter was forgotten by me until this morning when they served a writ of prohibition on me to prevent me trying the case.” Judge Cook then went on to tell how he had been, as he viewed it, shame- fully treated in this case. “When the case came up last waek | the attorney for the defendant made | a -motion to have the case transferred to another court on the ground of prejudice. The motion was overruled, as the cause of the alleged prejudice was not set forth. The defendants then asked for a jury trial, which I granted, feeling glad to be relieved of ADVERTISEMENTS. 000000000000000000000000000000000000 : WEATHER REPORT—Fair to- day, except partly cloudy in fore- a noon ; brisk westerly wind.

TWO GIRLS WHO WENT ASTRAY Their Trouble Caused Through a Charitable De- sire. Collected Funds for a Deceased Friend and Then Enjoyed Them selves Until Arrested. The fact that Jim Keating dled from a gunshot wound but a short time ago and that his friends were anxious to raise a | sum of money with which to pay expenses | for the last sad rites has resulted in two | or three arrests, many threats of war- rants being issued for grand larceny, ac- | cusations of drunkenness and a loss of | money collected, besides the report that | jewelry had been lost, strayed or stolen. | Flora Abbott and Ollie Connors are the | stars in the lttle drama which was but recently enacted. When it was thought a burial fund should be collected they sallied forth among the saloon men who had known the deceased. in his life time, and in a few minutes had gathered to- gether about $50. Then an idea struck them and in consequence it was a red-let- | ter night for those who sell liquors on the | Barbary Coast. That the idea sould be carried out to the fine point the self-appointed collectors went forth and in a few short hours were behind the bars of the California-street Station charged with drunk. Then the complications cropped forth. Jim Abbott and James Connors went fo the rescue of the girls and removed them from the disgraceful cell which they were occupy- ing. ‘ghe money which had been collected | A ring with a dia- mond setting valued at $100 was reported missing by Flora, and Ollie had pawned a pair of $200 earrings for $10 in a nearby saloon. Flora accused Ollie of havini taken the ring from her finger, an threats were made to swear out warrants for her arrest. Ollie retorted that she would swear out a warrant for hef co- collector for having “io‘ne through” the money gathered together through the kindness of the saloonmen. Then the men mixed things and a fight looked inevitable. But the trouble was stopped and Abbott visited all the sa- loons in the district for thepurposeof find ing the ring and earrings, but the search was In vain, with the exception that each bartender was willing to ‘stand the drinks.” Now each and every one is won- dering what happened, but it is well known that flowers were rather scarce at one funeral on account of a hot time on the notorious Barbary Coast. —_——————— TREASURY DECISIONS. Dealers in Tobacco and Liquor Will Find Much in Them That Is Interesting. Collector of Customs Jackson was noti- fied yesterday of the following decisions made by the Treasury Department at ‘Washington: Manufactured tobacco cannot be fur- nished free of tax as supplies to American vessels otherwise than under the provi- sions of section 16, act of July 24, 1897. There is no other arrangement than with- drawal from a bonded warehouse or a manufacturing warehouse for supplies as provided in section 16. Cargoes brought in as war prizes are not subject to duty, and go immediately into the hands of the United States Mar- shal for prize court. An importer of alcoholic liquors or com- pounds thereof who holds a special tax stamp as a wholesale liquor-dealer at his place of business in one city and sells and delivers packages of those liquors at a place of storage in another city without prior constructive delivery to the pur- chasers at the place where such stamp is held is required to pay additional special tax and to take out the requisite stamp for that storage place. The question wge[her a liquor-dealer or malt liquor dealer is required to pay special tax as a retall or a wholesale dealer depends :;Xon the actual quantity of liquor disposed of by him at any one “Spain As It Is.” 5 O Neal Davis, who has traveled exten- &vely in Spain, will deliver his lecture on le_ customs and features of that country at Metropolitan Temple this evening. NEW GIFTS FoR THE BIG FESTIVAL Masons Are Securing Offers of Help From Every Side. Extensive Preparations Being Made by the Hard-Working Com- mittes. There is not a doubt in the minds of the members of the Executive Committee ar- | ranging the big Masonic Festival, which is to be held next week for the benefit | of the Widows’ and Orphans’ Home, that it will be a success. On every, hand they | are receiving generous offers, and from | the material and contributions so far re- ceived . the festival will be worthy of visiting from a charity and educational | standpoint. | The ladies of the California Command- ery have not only secured a complete | Klondike outfit and a ticket to Dawson, but provisions to cover a miner's require- ments for twelve months. They have also secured the famous painting of Samson and Delilah, which will be placed in a specially arranged booth. Mrs. Dr. Edna R. Field reported that Friedman & Co. have volunteered to furnish the decora- tions and furniture for the booth. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings the ladies of the commandery will entertain their Masonic visitors with a social. A cash register was donated to the ladles vesterday to assist them in keeping account of the large number of sales they expect to make. They have de- cided to use the Zingari colors in the Gypsy costumes they will assume dur- ing the fete. A 31000 donation was recelved by the committee yesterday from the California Chapter, R. A. M. This is the second donation made by it, the first being 3500. The Alameda ladies showed their inter- est in the festival by attending the bene- fit given at the Masonic Temple last night. Patriotic airs were sung by a chorus of fifty voices with great effect. The proceeds of the entertainment will be given to the home. Friedlander, Gottlob & Co.'s generous offer of the use of the Baldwin for a bene- fit performance was gratefully received, and it is very probable one wiil be given. C. C. Bemis promises to secure a number of ladies who will sell tickets for the oc- casion. Further offers were received from the California Musograph Company _and Hoefer, Meinken & Barch of New York. The former company will have a number of their peculiar music devices on ex- hibition, while the New York firm has donated all the wall paper which the Entertainment Committee deems neces- sary. A large dry goods house has stated its ‘willingness to let the committee have bunting to be used in the decoration of booths at cost. —_—ee———— Republicans to Confer. There will be a large gathering of prominent ~ sepubiicans at the Union League Club to-morrow evening for the purpose of conferring upon business relat- ing to the convention of Republican clubs which is to be held in this city on the 3lst of this month.
