12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1898. PUTS QUESTIONS 10 THE COURT Fratricide Clark Raises Objections. OPPOSED TO A RESENTENCE ASKS IF JUDGE HAM BELIEVES IN THE ALMIGHTY. Prisoner’s Catechism Is Ignored and He Is Doomed to Die on the Gallows a Month Hence. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NAPA, Sept. 16.—"Do you belleve in Almighty God? Do you believe it is right for one man to take the life of another?” These questions directed to Judge E. D. Ham came in trembling accents from the lips of the St. Helena fratri- cide, George W. Clark, this morning in the Superior Court just before the sen- tence of death was passed upon him for the second time. At 10 o’clock court was called to order and Clark brought into the court room. The prisoner appeared stouter than when in Napa before, although his in- | carceration in San Quentin had left an unhealthy pallor on his countenance. He was attended by his counsel, Henry Hogan, who, when the case was called, entered a vigorous protest and objec- tion against the resentencing. His ob- jection was overruled and the court re- quested Clark stand and was about to proceed with the reading of the | death sentence when Attorney Hogan again interrupted, stating that the prisoner had something to say before he was sentenced to die. (Sark slowly arose from his chair, advanesd a few steps and addressed the court as fol- low “I want to ask you a few questions before 1 state my reasons why the | sentence of dea 1ould not be passed | upon me. irst, do you believe in Al- | mighty God? This abrupt question in faltering, | stuttering accents but so clear that all | in the courtroo.a could hear, surprised | the listeners. Judge Ham answered | promptly that he did not care to dis- | cuss religious matters at that time and sked the prisomer if he had anything to say. Clark then asked: Do you belleve it is right for on man to take the life of another man’ “Have you anything else to say?” re- | sponded the Judge, ignoring the q\lcs-" tion Yes,” said Clark, “my objections to | being sentenced to death are, first, that it is contrary to the law of God; s ond, that it is contrary to the laws of the United States and of California to | ted place a man'’s life in jeopardy who has | an insane mind. I want you to ap- | point some authority to examine my | mind. I want to go to St. Helena be- fore returning to San Quentin to see the grave of my brother and to visit some frien *. | | Clark hesitated a moment and then | sat down. The Judge then proceeded | with the sentence, finishing with the | fateful words that “on Friday, the 21st | of October, 1898, between the hours of sunrise and noon, you be taken by the warden of San Quentin and hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may | God have mercy on your soul.” The Judge then added in kindly ton “It is not in my power to grant your requests, even if I wanted to. You are in the hands of the Sheriff. That is| all.” s Clark was then led from the court- Toom and the next case on the docket called. RESPONSIBILITY NOT PLACED.| Coroner’s Jury 7I$;uirea Into the Death of Miss Blanchard. SAN JOSE, Sept. 16.—The Coroner's Jury sworn to inquire into the cause of the death of Miss Emilie A. Blanchard, who died from injuries received in a rall- road accident at Alum Rock Park last Sunday, brought in a verdict at 8 o’clock yesterday evening. There was a long discussion and much doubt as to whether the management of the road should be held responsible for the accident. As the jury could not satls- factorily settle this question. the verdict simply recites the cause of death. A civil action is now being considered by the family of Miss Blanchard. CADWALLADER IN COURT. Alleged IndianaEmbezzler Arraigned at Stockton. STOCKTON, Sept. 16.—Charles Cadwal- lader, allas Wilber, was up before Justice Parker at 2 o’clock to-day for an exam- {nation on the charge of embezzlement, in 7 sconded with funds of the Citi- zens' 1k of Union City, Ind. His at- torney objected to the proceedings on the ground that the complaint did not declare the defendant to be a fugitive from jus- tice. The objections were overruled by Justice Parker. The defendant was im- mediately arraigned and the preliminary examination begun. Sheriff Simmons of Indiana testified that there were seven- teen indictments against the accused. The examination is still in progress. pehine ol RANDALL NOT GUILTY. Eureka Bs\nkerv Acquitted on the Embezzlement Charge. EUREKA, Sept. 16.—The jury in the cage of A. W. Randall, ex-president of | the Randall Banking Company, charged ith felony embezzlement, brought in a verdict to-day of guuty. Randall was accused of " having _appropriated $300 laced in his care by Mrs. Floy Bindsile.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 16.—A peti- tion s being circulated asking Governor Budd to commute the sentence of Louis J. Searcey, Who Is now in prison In San Quentin for the murder of Joseph Ott. He was convicted in 189, an appeal to the Supreme Court failed last June and hé was resentenced to be hanged on Octo- ber 7 by Judge Oster. ‘The petition backed by the indorsement of Judge Os- ter, asks that life imprisonment be sub- stituted for death. The grounds are that the defendant’s case was improperly bandied and that the evidence was purely eircumstantial, the maln point being the identification 'of certain footprints in loose desert sand as Searcey’s.

SOME CHANGES IN PROSPECT ASSIGNMENTS TO DUTY ON THE EASTERN COAST. | Future of the Men Who Led the Re- | lief Expedition to the Whalers | Ice - Bound in the Arctic. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 16.—Orders have been received from the Treasury Department at Washington by Captain Tuttle of the revenue cutter Bear con- just returned from a nine months cruise on a relief expedition to the im- prisoned whalers in the Arctic. Second Lieutenant John G. Berry, who has been on the Pacific Coast three and a half years, will enjoy a short but well earned vacation. He has been detached from the Bear and re- quested to communi-ate with the de- partment after he arrives at his home in Portland, Me. He will likely be as- signed to duty on the Atlantic coast. First Lieutenant D. H. Jarvis and Second Lieutenant E. P. Bertholf, who successfully led the overland expedi- tion to Point Barrow, were ordered to | San Francisco to settle accounts with the Liebes Company and others from whose agents supplies were obtained in the far north. These two men have al- Dr. S. | J. Call, who accompanied the 0\'er]and! expedition, has been given a month’s leave of absence and will go to his Cal- ifornia home. Dr. E. W. Woodruffs, whose services were tendered the Government by The Call, and who was assigned to duty on | the Bear during the absence of Dr. | Call, has been honorably discharged and will leave for San Francisco. Second Lieutenant Claude S. Cochran received orders to report for duty at New York. However, he prefers the Pacific Coast, and is now in comuni- cation with the department, hoping to | be located on one of the cutters sta- tioned on this coast. As Assistant Engineer H. N. Wood has been doing duty on the Pacific for three and a half years, he rather ex- pects to be transferred to the East. During the far-famed cruise north | Lieutenants Berry and Bertholf acted as special correspondents of The Call} and they have given the public authen- | tic and eagerly looked for news con- cerning the humane expedition. En- gineer Wood was The Call's photog- rapher and secured some valuable views. HAS NOT HEARD FROM MADDEN | Wife of the Modoc Defaulter Denies a Published Statement. STOCKTON, Sept. 16.—The wife of Madden, the defaulting County Treasurer of Modoc County, resides in this city with | her mother. To an Associated Press re- PRSPPSO S ment that his whereabouts in Peru had | been discovered by detectives correspond- ing with his wife, through Attorney E Modoc County, Mrs Madden said to-day: “I have not heard from him since he| left.

FLAMES QUICKLY _SUBDUED;‘ WORK OF CITIZENS PREVENTS A CONFLAGRATION. Lumber in the Rear of the Hostelry Saturated With Kerosene Be- fore the Torch Was Applied. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Sept. 16.—An attempt to fire the Hotel ““eswick was made last night at 10 o'clock. A lumber pile at the rear of the big structure had been drenched with kerosene and the torch applied. Flames shot into the air, lighting the surrounding buildings and alarming the citizens. By quick work the flames were subdued before the fire was communicated to the hotel. The damage done was slight. An investigation developed the fact that an incendiary had gained access to the rear porch of the hotel and car- ried the contents of a large coal oil tank a few steps to the lumber pile, saturating it thoroughly with the com- bustible fluild and also drenching the rear ‘wall of the hotel. Had the match been applied at a later hour the Hotel Keswick, the McCormick-Saeltzer Com- pany's branch store and the Mountain Miner office could not have been saved. It is even likely that the whole town would have been destroyed. An attempt was made earlier in the evening to fire the big Mulligan board- ing-house belonging: to the Mountain Copper Company. Kerosene was liber- ally used in this case. The attempt was frustrated by the timely discovery of the blaze and the admirable discipline of the company’s fire department. A former night clerk of the Hotel Keswick was arrested on suspicion, but was promptly liberated on furnishing an alibi. By reason of the large number of fires in the town insurance premiums have reached an extravagant figure. Many policies have been canceled and a num- ber of the largest companies have with- drawn their agencles. The situation confronting the pecple there is of the utmost gravity and there s talk of or- ganizing a vigilance committee to rid the town of objectionable characters. .

D e S S SO R R R R R R R R I I T SIS OUT FROM THE - JAWS OF THE ROZEN NORTH Three Whaling Cap- tains Home Again. THE CALL EXPEDITION SAVED MANY LIVES. No Truth in the Report That Captain Meason of the Whaling Tender Jennie Had Gone Out of His Mind. Three captains from the whaling fleet arrived In the city yesterday. They are: Captain A. C. Sherman of the wrecked steam whaler Orca, Captain W. P. 8. Porter of the wrecked steamer Jessie H. Freeman and Captain E. W. Newth of the Jeanette. The latter vessel only left here last year, but the Orca and Free- man were among the fleet that was frozen in. Both vessels got nipped in the ice and went down. Captain Newth brings the news that Captain Leavitt, who went north in the Mary .D. Hume and afterward trans- ferred to the Newport, took the tender Thrasher when she went north and has gone whaling in her. Captain Snow of the Thrasher has taken the Newport and will bring her to San Francisco. Both the Newport and Jennie will stop at the can- neries and bring down loads of salmon. In regard to the reported trouble on the Bear Captain Newth says: “Captain Tuttle was far too lenient with the whalers. There were 108 in our crowd, and they had to be divided into watches in order to keep the decks clear. When one watch was below the other was on deck, but when there was a little work to do the whalers refused to do it. They wouldn’t shovel coal, tney wouldn't make sail; and, in fact, wouldn’t do anything. The only thing left for the captain to do was to put them in irons. Had it been my business I'd have fed them on bread and water. “The story that Captain Mason of the Jennle had gone crazy was made out of whole cloth. He was never even on the sick list, and is navigating his vessel to San Francisco at the present time. Some one out of pure cussedness must have started that story.” “Had _it* not been for the wrecked whaler Navarch and the arrival of The Call relief expedition fully 10 per cent of the frozen-in whalers would have died,” said Captain Sherman yesterday. ‘“The Navarch was wrecked in an Arctic storm, you will remember,” continued the cap- tain, “and many of her crew were drowned. No one ever expected to see the hull again, but one day it came driftin, ast Point Barrow, and out of it we gm?sso sacks of flour. There were just two of those sacks left when the Bear arrived, and then the men had only been getting a four-inch square of bread every twenty-four hours for a month.The Bear reached Point Barrow on the 28th and the Jeanette came in the next day, so we were well provided after that. It is to be hoped that the Government will suit- ably remember Lieutenant Jarvis, as his journey across the Arctic wilds was a most perilous one.” The .eanette secured two whales and over 8000 pounds of trade bone during the short time she was out, so Captain Newth did remarkably well. In regard to. the man Nicholas who was shot in the leE while trying to desert, Captain Newt! said yesterday: “The Jeanette was at Port Clarence, and there was a con- spiracy got up among the men to desert in a hogy'and go to the gold mines. Nicholas was the first to try to get away, and I began firing at him, more to scare the others than with any Intention of hit- tin~ the man. One of the balls ricochet- ed and struck him in the leg, and that is all there was to it. In eight days he was all right_again and asked :for his dis- charge. I took him aboard the Bear and told Captain Tuttle what he wanted, and Captain Tuttle gave him- his discharge. He is now among the gold hunters at Port Clarence.” s The gunboat Bennington came down from Mare Jsland yesterday and the Mo- hican went up. The gunboat was to have | salled for Honolulu at 2 p. m., but did | not get away until hours later. She will | relieve the Philadelphia, which will come | back to San Francisco for an overhaul- ing. The Mohican, after being docked and repaired will go to Samon. he Merchants’ Exchange yesterday received telegraphic news that the Brit- igh bark Anamba from Liverpool for Honolulu has put into Montevideo with her wheel carried away and otherwise damaged. The crew was sick. The bark Martha Davis arrived from Hilo yesterday, and Captaln Frils reports that on the 1ith inst. he sighted a four- masted, six topgallant yard ship painted lead color in latitude 35 north qonxnude 125 west, This was probably the British ship Matterhorn, now_out 140 days from Newcastle, Eng., for San Francisco. EISFELDT VS. EISFELDT. A Suit for Divorce Which Has Two | Sides to It. ALAMEDA, Sept. 16—Mrs. Annle E. Eisfeldt, formerly of 1333 Schiller street, this city, has brought suit for a uivorce | from her husband, Theodore A. Elsfeldt, the bookkeeper of a San Francisco busi- | ness house. In her complaint Mrs. Efs- feldt alleges cruelty, and tells a harrow- ing tale of the reasons why she demands a legal separation from her liege lord. The Eisfeldts have been married six years and have had two' children, only one of whom is now living. For several vears they have resided at the Schiller | street house, which was the property of | Mr. Eisfeldt. During the past fortnight | there have been rumors afloat in the | neighborhood that all was not happy in the Eisfeldt household. These rumors culminated on Friday night last, when at midnight Mr. Eisfeldt removed the furni- ture from the house with tne aid of an expressman, put it in a warehouse and went to live with nis parents in this city. Mrs. Eisfeldt, it was reported, had gone witn her child to San Francisco. Day before yesterday Mrs. Eisfeldt flled & suit for divorce, the trial of which will make public all the troubles of the little family, since her husband does not pro- pose to rest under the stigma of having treated his wife cruelly, but will fight the case to the end. It is reported that Eisfeldt will file a cross-complaint, in which ne will ask for a divorce on statutory grounds, and will name a prominent lawyer in San Fran- cisco as co-respondent. " It is said among the neighbors that the lawyer in question has been in the habit of pa{llng visits to the Elsfeldt home during the husband's absence, and that the wife explained it to the lnclghbors by saying that he was her uncle. Since the filing of the suit bv Mrs. Els- feldt her husband has not been at home, and his parents do not know where he is. Hence it has been impossible to ob- tain an interview with him for the pur- pose of getting his side of the story. e e The Richter Benefit. Preparations for the Richter benefit en- tertainment to be held in Mechanics' Pa- villon on the evening of the 2ith are com- pleted, and tickets are selling rapidly. The committee received an unexpected lift from National Parlor No. 168, which pur- chased fifty tickets last night. It is ex- pected that many other fraternal organi- zations will fall in line with National Par- lor and do their share toward making the benefit a success. The committee on refreshments held a meeting vesterday, and the members re- orted that the donations are coming in Preely and mhat sood progress wili be se. ported at the meeting of the executive Liommlttee, which will assemble on Mon- day. —_————————— Ladies ordering mild wines and liquors have special department and clerk. 17-year-old port for the feeble.
