12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1898. HUNTINGTON A POOR WITNESS Very Little Information Gained From His Lips. Treats the Commissioners to Repartee and Long Ex- planations. Commissioner Hinton and the Rail- road Magnate Have & Merry Game of Fence. Collis P. Huntington treated the Rail-| road Commissioners yesterday to one of the cleverest exhibitions of swordsman- ship that has been seen in this city for| many years. The manner in which he parried questions and guarded himself from the sharp thrusts made at him by the board led every one present to be- lieve that he alone could uphold this State in a contest against the leading fencing masters. Besides belng a master | of telling all he knows about nothing and | nothing about what he knows, the vener- able president of the Southern Pacific Is especially apt at repartee. Commissioner Hinton's terse criticisms on the famous Colton letters and the Rallroad Com- pany’s actions in the lobbies at Wash- ington and Sacramento would fluster the witness for a moment, but the next in- stant he would calmly and cleverly oth over any proceeding that threw redit on himself or on the corpora- tion of which he is the shining head. As on the previous days, Mr. Huntington's memo: a blank, but he was pro- “his willingness to assist the board fuse in in their investigations. After strugsling through a report that the commissioners called for the day pr vious, the witness was asked what roads were owned by the Southern Pacific Com- pany and whether it was not a fact that on of the company many In the posses had been obtained after outside parties bad exhausted large amounts in building and putting them in run order. Mr. Huntington replied it was very likely As to what roads were thus acquired, the witness’ memory was at fault. He ex- plained that many roads in this State were run with a loss, and after the own- ers found it so the Southern Pacific was able to obtain them. | Such inquiries as to what was a fair | cost of a road and the price given for| some so obtained elicited vague answers. | He was questioned at length on this sub- ject, but would always entertain his hear- ers with a long tale of what he had done | in trying to interest rich men into taking | stock and the hard work he did to further | the progress of this State. “What is the present commercial value of the Southern Pacific road?’ asked Chairman La Rue. “I can't tell you; I believe it has a suffi-| clent value, Doth present and bpspec- ““How much money has gone into it?" 1 can't Money has been put into it for fort: and almost every work- v yea ing day during the last thirty years. The only and on auction, give vou its tell otherwis Another means given by Mr. Hunting- ton to ascertain the value of the road was to take the roads of the world, find their cost and then make an estimate. He did not think that roads built during the past | year should be used in comparison. The aged witness became tired with the constant questioning about values and said: “You are asking me questions that no man in the world can answer.” Com- missioner Hinton in trying to soothe him told him that he believed he was honestly trying to answer. He then quoted some- thing that Huntington had said on a previous occasion. The pent-up feelings of the witness gave way again, and he pointedly replied that Hinton must have seen some of his friends—Sutro and Bas- sett. Hinton indignantly replied that he had not, but that the question was put to him just as it was asked by Senator Morgan in the examination before the Senate committee. Before hostilitles could commence Chalr- man La Rue asked the witness whether there were any books or data by which the value of the road could be ascer- tained, and the witness in his nervous- ness said: “I don't think there is; I don’t think there is.” Mr. Huntington said that its present value could only be got by comparison with other roads, but did not thing a| comparison with the roads that have just been constructed parallel with his road would be a fair one. Mr. Hinton read another question from the report of the examination of the wit- ness before the Senate committee and the witness facetiously remarked that Mr. Su- tro had a full file of such literature in his libra The Commissioner could not see the jest, but sharply reminded the mag- nate that Mr. Sutro should not be intro- duced in the proceedings, as the poor man was lying at death’s door. The witness W not ruffled in the least, and when the Commissioner sprung another ques- tion from the report and asked an expla- nation he could not remember whether he had testified in such terse language. | Mr. Hinton took another shot at the| magnate by saying that he did not think the language was as terse as his letters to Mr. Colton, adding that he might read way to find out what a road costs its actuai worth would be to put it and the man who bids will : no living person can GRIEF LED TO HIS DEATH.

CLAINS 1IE IS NOT 4 FORGER Arthur Klein Visits Police Headquarters and Denies the Charge. Pictures the Life Led With the Wallace Woman and Iis Result. Arthur H. Klein, characterized falsely, as he claims, the cleverest forger in local or Eastern flelds, appeared at.the City Prison yesterday morning exhibiting every indication of violent agitation and Bluntly asking the desk sergeant if that gentleman wantea him. The officer in charge Informed him that the house was full, but i he wouid leave his address an agent of the prison might call later to let him know if they wanted his company. “I live at 15% Powell street,” said Kleln, “and if you fellows want me you can always find me at the above ad- dress.” This dialogue was the outcome of a charge made by Beatrice Wallace, alias Hopkins, against Klein on an alleged con- fession made by him of forgery commit- ted in the East—he having signed his father's signature to a document, so she | claims, which compelled him to flee to this coast to e.ude the hounds of justice. | All this, and, in fact, every allegation of crime made against him by the Hop- kins woman, Klein denies, but admits, however, that in a spirit of banter, in or- der to frighten her, he had told her that he had committed forgery and: that un- Jess she kept tae fact a profound secret | he would be sent pack to Allegheny and compelled to suffer the punishment for his _crime. This she evidently failed to do eltherj | through the utter impossibility of keeping a secret or an innate aversion to practi- cal jokes. [ Kliein, In_defense of his honor, his repu- tation and his self-respect, claims that Beatrice has been the cause of his fall from the race and calumny; ana in view of this act he feels it his bounden duty to clear himself of the base charges made by his | arch tempter bv divulging her true char- acter to the entire English speaking world suicide by cutting my throat with a ‘corn razor in the dead of night, but the shoe fits entirely the other Wi It was she who tried to sap my young life blood | with the ragged edge of the corn exter- minator. “One morning after a particularly stormy night she approached me with the blood curdling confession that she had that very same jagge. razor under her | pillow and that if I had accidently fallen asleep during the course of the preceding | night she would have severed my jugular | beyond repair. She also stated at the | time that if 1 was ever seen in company | with another woman she would repay me | for my infidelity by murdering both of us. | “The public doesn't know,” he contin- | ued, “the torments that I suffered since | I first met Beatrice.
