Ever since that time the matter has | been fought in the courts, and after | much contention Hawkins accepted | from the late Annie Donahue a pay- | ment of $10 per week, he alleges, for the remainder of his life, in satisfaction claims against' the Donahue | y as represented by her. But | ter her death J. Downey Harvey, one | & Hawkins could act in the | > agreement and Hawkins ther sued Eleanor Martin and Harv executors of the Donahue es he purpose of forcing them to carry | out the agreement. 2| The affidavit filed yesterday hezlns‘l out | cls that said Doyle to gratify his malevolent and evil nature intimidated said O'Kane, and likewise {nfluenced Howard partner in the Donohoe, Kelly bank, to so misrepresent, frighten intimidate said O'Kane not to a(;;l‘ ithstanding Doyle, the law- ver, and Hav the banker, well knew that said O'Kane had in his name the deed of assignment of all of their valu- able estate, and had ratified his accept- ance of said deed by a solemn oath that he would protect their estate to the best of his ability, yet they kept on persuad- Ing and intimidating him until they fin- v coerced sald O'Kane to refuse to flle bond a ignee; thus the valuable and as assignee for sald estate of Daly Hawkins, not a al estate of & Hawk! was let go to waste. O'Kane did not act, yet the deed of the estate was on record in his name, and nobody else could act. The affidavit goes on in this vein unto the end. It treats of other mat- ters which in the main are not of pub- lic interest, and through it all there sounds a mnote of grievance, of in- Justice done and done under the forms of law. The paper enters minutely into conversations and gives copies of let- ters written by Doyle and others. It contains nearly 25,000 words and is re- markably well written for a man who had no education as a lawyer, its only defect being its historical character and its re ces to subjects which would not be deemed material to the issue in a court of law. One of the Doyle letters is characteristic and is quoted here: Rooms 36, 37, 38, 916 Market street, Columbia buflding, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal April 25, 1895.

It recites the agreement | and states that the ten dollars per week were paid during the i me of | Annfe Donahue and that it ceased after Monday, December 7, 1896, Annie Donahue having died on December 12, between two pay days. Upon the refusal by the executors, Hawkins filed it for $9725 alleged to be due him from the estate of Annie Donahue. According to the affida when the suit came to trial, John T. Doyle went on the stand and swore | that the paym of ten dollars a week | to Hawkins was a mere gratuity dur- ing the lifetime of Annie Donahue, and | not Intended as a settlement. The | plaintiff was nonsuited. Hawkins, in the affidavit, alleges that Doyle, in his letters to him on the subject, had never mentioned anything | to the effect that the payments were intended as a gratuity, and he asserts that he would have indignantly spurn- | ed and refused any gratuity, and that he was defrauded of his rights in the premises by “treachery and conspir- » the arrangement was, for it originated | years and three months before, in Doyle’s office, in a suit instigated and suggested by Doyle himself, to set aside on the ground of fraud a deed of trust that the afflant had made to his cousin Peter Donahue. The affidavit goes on to say further: That this affiant verlly belleves and | therefore deposes and says that s and other similar suits against flant were conccived in the mind of said | Doyle and urged by him upon his clients, | the bank of Donohoe, Kelly & Co., on a count of sald Doyle's personal and malig- nant hatred of and hostility to said Peter | Donahue: that sald deep-seated rancor, | hate and hostility upon the part of said | Doyle was_occasioned by the action of | sald Peter Donahue in the year 1865, sum- marily dismissing said John T. Doyle, | who had been emploved as lus, said Pe- ter's, attorney: that this afant further deposes and says that the said Peter | Donahue made known to this afflant and | others the reason for his abrupt and sum- Mary dismissal of sald Doy, that during the absence of Donahue from the State in said year 1565, said Donahue being compelled to go to New York in that year, left with said Jonn T. Doyle his full power of attorney to manage and transact his business In this State during his absence; that said Donahue was absent six months; upon Jooking into hls affairs after his return he dismissed £aid Doyle in the summary manner aforesaid; that Peter was alw. outspoken in giving his unsatisfactory business experience with said Doyle and his management of his affairs; that until the date of Peter's deatn in 188, he (Doyle) had never crossed the threshhold of l’cler Donahue’s nor had he Over entered his (said Peter's) office hence the hostllity Dovie manifested in said _suits, particularly the sult to set aside the deed of trust of this af- fiant to said Peter in March, 1879, four- teen years later. The affidavit proceeds to haul Doyle over the coals for raising objections to a codicil in the will of Mary Ann Dona- hue, because of an informality, and re- cites that Doyle's insistence upon legal forms harassed the beneficiaries under the codicil. The affidavit goes on: This aflant further deposes and says ity as | for n ily history appears in the affidavit and is a sample of Mr. Hawkins' abil- a domestic historian: Afflant h childhood his early r brother that a cou- st wife, a good,amiable, spitab) woman, at affiant’s Paterson, N. 5 California, 1o r the erection of the ever bu! t in san Fran- C o, brothe Jam and Michael, with himself, having secured the contract to light this city h 5. On leaving again, in , 1852, for California, he broug his bride with him, who be- came the mother of his children, and it was this mother who wished this afflant to be the godfather to her only son, the late James M. Donahue, whose good mother was taken from this world .two years later in giving birth to another child. Her husband remaired unmarried rly four yvears, and never during those vears, wealthy and prominent as he was, was there any entangling al- liances or scandal attached to or connect- ed with his naiie. He was a man of high moral character and deep religious convictions. Afflant further deposes and says that there was no courtship attend- ing his second marriage. The lady lived in Los Angeles, and one General Caz- neau, a friend of ex-Governor John G. Downey, one day, when in Peter's com- pany, sald to him: *“Here, Peter; you are unhappy without a wife; why don’t you g(v down to Los Angeles and marry the sovernor's sister, Annife.” Peter, always impulsive, replied, “I belleve 1 will, Caz- neau.” So the next day they took the steamer and started for Los Angeles, and news came back from Los Angeles by malil to the family, within a week, that he had taken a second wife. This af- fiant deposes and says that the said Gen- eral Thomas N. Cazneau related substan- tially to this affiant the foregolng account of the second marriage of afiant’'s cou- | sin, the said Peter Donahue, shortly after that occurrence. Some years ago Hawkins entered the carriage of Mrs. Annie Donahue and in the course of the conversation which ensued Hawkins' pistol was discharged. He was arrested, but he disclaimed any intention of injuring Mrs. Dona- hue. The affidavit gives the following account of the affair: Some days after aflant's interview with sald Doyle, in which he, Doyle, made known to afflant that his client would never pay afflant 1 cent of his claim, affiant walking south along the east side of Montgomery street, was saluted by the coachman of the said Annie Donahue, seated upon the box of her carriage, In full dress suit with cockade in hat, over- coat with great buttons, ete. The car- riage was in front of Mr. Doyle's office. She then entered her carriage; it was a one-seated coupe. The coachman start- ed the horses upon the turn across the street, when this affiant opencd the door opposite the one Hy which his cousin’s widow had entered and quietly took the vacant seat alongside of his cousin’s widow, politely raising his hat and salut- ing the sald Mrs. Donahue; that this affi- ant further deposes and says that what- ever sins of omission or commission he may be called upon to ask God's pardon for, for acts done by him In this life, this carriage call upon his cousin’s widow on the 2d day of May, 1889, will not be one of them or among their number, for the fear, terror, horror and despair that came upon her usual stoic nature, upon seeing me, I shall never tor%et or regret. 1 was surprised and amazed at it. She fled from her carrlage. * * * As she left the carriage there was a loud report. heard of after all over the city, * * ¢ and it reverberated and echoed from this city and penetrated through every city, town, village and hamlet in every county of this oroad State, and resulted in con- vincing all good people that her husband made no mistake in his “will,” and it still kesps echoing and it will never die out of her hearing.

Another interesting episode men- tioned in the document is the following, describing a talk between Hawkins and Peter Donahue when Peter was sick in bed: Afflant expressed his aymgathy and re- gret to and for Peter, and the cause of it, when Peter raised himself from the bes and said, “Oh, Michael, this fight is not at you, it is at me; this is the work of my enemy, John T. Doyle, to get his revenge, and he has so managed it through that d——d stupid shoemaker, John O'Kane, to make it appear before the public as if my brother James’ children were fighting at me. Oh, if my brother James were alive, his children would not have done thi; Afflant replied, ““Cousin, I know it is Doyle’'s work, and it is his fight at you, but I will make it mine. I will take your fight upon _my shoulders, and I can beat Doyle.” Peter said to affiant, *Ah Michael, you do not know Doyle as well as I do.” Affiant has, to the date of this writing, 11:30 p. m., Monday, 25th July, 1888, been in that fight with Doyle for now nineteen years and four months, and still Doyle and affiant are in conflict over the home affiant deeded in trust to his cousin Peter, he now having associated with him, Doyle. the nephew of sald Peter's widow, J.

Batch of Important Decisions From | the Treasury Department. The following list of decisions relative to the new stamp tax law was received by Collector Lynch yesterday A 2-cent stamp is required on an order for cash drawn on a merchant by one of | his customers. Certificates of deposit drawing interest, if left a certain time, are taxable the same as Promissory notes. 1f papers in the nature of receipts are given in lieu of checks and commercial negotiable instruments they are checks and not receipts, and are sub- ject to tax. Where certificates of stock are delivered as collateral, the stock to be forfeited only upon condition of fallure to pay the debit for which it is pledged, a stamp is required as a pledge and not as a sale. Real estate morigage notes require to| be stamped In addition to the stamps | placed on the mortgage. s Where there is a pledge of property ac- | companying and promissory note, which pledge Is subject to stamp tax under sched- | ule A, this stamp tax must be pald, not- withstanding the fact wat a stamp is also required on the note connected with it. In cases of loans on real estate where promissory notes are given, which are not paid at maturity, but on which an extension of time of payment is granted | without jhe taking of a new note, it Is held that every such extension Is a re- newal of the note within the meaning of the statute, and that the requisite stamp must “be affixed for every such renewal or extension. This also applies to notes discounted before July 1, falling due on or after that date. The person who signs and issues a bank thout affixing the proper stamp becomes involved in liability to penalities under section 10 of the act, unless it is | are used as | and lived in comparative SOUGHT T0 TAKE HIS WIFE'S LIFE Cowardly Crime of W. H. Stallard. SHOOTS HIS VICTIM TWICE THE TRAGEDY OCCURRED IN A FIRST-STREET CAFE. To Justify His Act the Would-Be Assassin Seeks to Blacken the Woman’s Reputation—Not Dangerously Hurt. Infuriated at her refusal to endure his brutality any longer, Willlam H. Stallard deliberately shot his wife twice, shortly after noon yesterday. The shooting took place in the Royal Restaurant, 14 First street, when the place was filled with patrons, and that the woman was not killed is due to her assailant’s poor marksmanship and his seizure before he could fire again. The tragedy was the culmination of many years of marital infelicity, owing to the husband’s excessive indulgence in intoxicants, which had developed all the latent brutality and viciousness of his The couple were married in Denver in 1874, where Stallard was employed as switchman in the yards of the Union | Pacific Company. They have one son, 23 years of age, who is still in Denver. For a time the Stallards lived happily to- gether, but gradually he fell into evil ways and began to maltreat his wife in a shameflll manner, while his conduct toward his son became so intolerable that the youth was compelled to leave home. Two years ago Stallard’s intemperate habits caused his dismissal from the rail- road company’s employ, and then he gave himself up entirely to drinking whisky and beating the poor woman who was struggling to earn a living for them both. Not only did he kick and strike her al- most daily, but he would forcibly take her earnings and purchase liquor. So unendurable became the life she was leading that Mrs. Stallard fled from the brute a year ago last March, coming to San Francisco, She had a married sis- ter residing at 624 Fourth street, and there | Mrs. Stallard took up her residence. She secured employment in the Emporium eace and con- tentment until one day Staliard found her out. Ihe usual promises of reformation were made, the usual reconciliation ensued, and Stallard and his wife began life anew in the Fourth-street house. He obtained a osition as_switchman in the Southern ’acific yards, but hardly had he started to work before he renewed his former habits. And now he found a new source of torment for his wife. About the time Mrs. Stallard started for San Francisco an old Denver neighbor, named Budd, also came West, and Stallard frequently accused his wife of having eloped with him. Nobody knew the charge was base- less better than Stallard himself, yet he would work himself into a frenzy over what he termed his wife's perfl(i and vent his rage upon her in_the most brutal manner. Frequentw1 Mrs. Stallard’s brother-in-law and other occupants of the house found it necessary to Interfere to save her from her husband's violenccy Stallard again lost his position becaute of his habitual drunkenness, and April he returned to Denver, his wife having refused to have anything more to do with him. Mrs. Stallard soon after resigned her position in the Emporium to accept the position of forewoman in a factory at an increased salary, but she only held the new position a few weeks when her predecessor returned to work and she was thrown out of employment, Two months ago Mrs. Stallard obtained a place in the overall factory of Neubauer Bros at 18 First street, but her pay was | meager, and she was obliged to give up | her rooms in the Fourth-street house, | oing to board with some friends named ann at 1063 Tennessee street.

Fearful of a scene, Mrs. Stallard asked him to step outside, and when the door had closed upon them the distressed woman asked what he wanted. Stallard first demanded that she take him busk once more, but this she refused, saying she would never live with him again. Stailard pleaded, but she remained firm in her de- termination to have nothing more to do with him. Finally she returned to her work and Stallard went away, only to return again on Tuesday. He waited on First street until Mrs. Stallard had fin. ished her day’s work, and when she emcrgred from the factory he accosted her. he?' walked along together, board- ing an efectric car, for rs. Stallard's boardin, gluce is in the Potrero. Stallard renewed his importunities to be taken back once more, and upon his wife again refusing became so violent and abusive that several times the conductor threat- ened to eject him from the car.

When " Mre. Stallard i The | actory for her noonday meal, she again | encountered the man at the foot of the | stalrs. Stallard asked her to go to lunch | with him, saying it would be their last meal together. Not daring to refuse, Mrs. Stallard accompanied him into the restaurant at 14 rirst street, but finding tne tables nearly all full they went out. Stallard wanted to go to another restau- rant, but his wife demurred, saying she had only a half hour for lunch, and she knew no other place in the immediate neighborhood. They re-entered the place ex- and seated themselves at next to the last of the tables in the center row. The waiter took their order, and just then a woman seated herself at their table. Stal- lard asked his wife to change seats with him, which she did. She thought it strange, but it is evident that he did it for the purpose of having a better chance to use his right arm. £ Stallard once more asked his wife to live with him promising to take her back to Denv provide & good home for her. She replied that it would be better for him to go back and prepare the bome first, and if she found ne was sincere in his promise to reform she might give him one more cnance. "Then you refuse to go with me, do you, Emma?” he demanded, straighten- ing ‘up in his chair. 3 “Yes; you must give some proof of your reformation,’” she replied. Like a flash Stallard drew a heavy re- volver from his breast pocket and lired. The bullet struck his wife in tne right shoulder, close to the neck. It ranged upward and out through her coat, crash- ing through a window in the front of the restaurant. Mrs. Stallard jumped to her feet, half turning as she d Stallard fired again, the bullet striking the right shoulder blade and ranging across the back under the skin lodged over the left shoulder blade. Before Stallard could fire a third time ‘William Fitts, a brawny teamster .sitting just across the aisle, grappled with Stal- lard, forcing his right arm above his head. The would-be murderer, who is a powerful man, struggled desperately, but a dozen others came to the brave Fitts assistance, and while R. B. Chandler dis- armed Stallard several others helped to throw him to the floor. Somebody shouted to hang the fellow, and there were ca for a rope, etc. Had not Policeman Ross arrived just then it is likely that Stallard would never have reached the City Prison, for he was in the hands of a class of men who would think little of hanging a cowardly wife- murderer. Stallard was handcuffed and immedi- ately pretended to be exceedingly drunk, disclaiming all knowledge of what he had done and declaring he was crazed by liquor, It was quite palpable that the fei- low was shamming, F5r e had not shown the least sign of being intoxicated before the shooting, but he kept up the stupid sham for hours after he was locked up in the City Prison. Meanwhile, Mrs. Stallard had been re- moved to the Harbor Recelving Hospital, where the surgeons removed the second bullet and found that neither wound was of a dangero nature. Her sister w soon with her, and to-day she will be re- moved to her boarding place in the Po- trero. Mrs. Stallard is about 40 years of age, and is spoken of in the highest terms by ail who know her. The forewoman of the factory where she is employed visited her as soon as she could, and was loud in her praise of the unfortunate woman, as were also her former tmylu)‘ers in the Empo- rium and the people with whom she béards. At first Stallard would nnlg discuss the shooting, pretending that he was too drunk to know what had happened. He rolled about in a most grotesque mer, | and it was acting the part with t ing responsibility for h! Finally, to a Call reporter, Stallard said his wife had eloped from Denver with J. J. Budd over a year ago and that he had followed her to this city. They had become reconciled, but in April, last, he returned to Denver to see his son, who was sick, and he got back last Mond: to find his wife living with another man. Stallard could not be induced to talk about the shooting, and when pressed resumed his former atti- tude of helpless intoxication. Those who know Mrs. Stallard best scout the story of her elopement and the other charge, and say that such charges by her husband are only more evidence of his utter depravity. 5 In the presence of two detectives last night Mrs. Stallard made the following statement of the stabbing: ‘‘ I have been married to my husband about twenty-four years. I have had trouble with him ever since we were mar- ried. He has been so jealous and cruel to me. I could not tell you the number of times my life has been in danger of m. all too ap; W vas object of evad- B “About Christmas time my husband assaulted me and T was confined to my room in the Washington Hotel for some time, the result of the beating he gave | me.

While on the car he commenced to abuse me and the conductor threatened to put him off. He left me on the car about Bluxome and Third streets and I continued until 1 reached my home on Tennessee street. A short fime prior to the shooting my husband came to where I worked and sent one of the giris to call me. I came down and spoke to him. ‘‘After a short conversation he made me promise to go to lunch with him. 1 then left him, going upstairs to attend to my work. “As I emerged from the factory at noon he was standing outside, evidently waiting for me. We went to the res- taurant in which the shooting took place. He wanted me to go to Denver with him, but I refused. Just then a woman, whose name I do not know, came in and sat at the same table. “My husband at this juncture asked me to change places with him. I did so, and was surprised that he did not order any- thing but tea. I asked him why he had not ordered something more substantial, | but he did not reply. A few minutes later he again asked me if T would go to Detiver, and for the second time I replied in the negativ He then drew his pistol and shot me twice.” . Took Rough on Rats. Mrs. Delia Rourke, a woman 38 years of age, committed suicide in a lodging house at 131 Third street yesterday, by swallow- ing rough on rats. She left a letter to the Coroner, in which she stated she had been deserted by her husband and had noth- ing to live for. Her body was removed to the Morgue. ADVERTISEMENTS.
