10 THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28 1898 ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. MRS, BRANDES CHAFES UNDER LONG DELAY Her Hearing Will Be Very Short. MAY LAST BUT TWO DAYS SHE OBJECTS TO USELESS TRIPS | TO COURT. Will Surely Have to Stand:Trial for ¢ the Alleged Murder of Little Lillian Brandes. Oakland Office, San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Dec. 2. Mrs. Etta Brandes was very much an- noyed ‘to-day at being taken from the County Jall to Justice Clift's court merely to hear her case continued until to-mor- Tow morning. The prisoner turned up her nose in disgust wnen she learned that the | walk from the jail and the endurance of the curiosity of the big lobby were alike unnecessary Judge Allen evidently is very confident of securing the holding of the woman for trial, for he saild to-day that he can com- plete the prosecution in half a day uniess some unforeseen circumstances arise. The testimony will be nearly the same as in the case of Mrs. Brandes' husband, with the exception of two new witnesses whom the State will put on the stand. Whenever Mrs. Brandes goes to court, and she hds been to hear her case con- tinied Several times, she s always accom- | panied by a female friend, who brings her from the jail and takes her _cck. On| each of these useless visits, Mrs. Brandes | becomes more impatient, and to-day she | asked Jailer Lane why they could not find | out whether the was to go on with- | out annoying her by taking her to court. | When the case was called to-day her at- torneys stated that they had not had time | 1o look over the testimony in the case of | Brandes and that they would be ready to | roceed to-morrow morning. From this | t 18 apparent that much of the testimony in the husband's case will be submitted in evidence without going over the ground | again in the case of the wife. Mrs. Bran- des will be taken to the Justice's Court again to-morrow mornine and her exam- | ination will commence. Under no circum- | stances, It 18 believed, will the hearing oc- | cupy more than two days cnebbediry BLOW TO THE DEFENSE. The Donovan Case Shows an Injury Similar to Lillian’s. OAKLAND, Dec. 27.—The main stay of the defense in the Brandes murder case sustained a vital setback to-day from an unexpected source. That source was an autopsy held during the-day by Drs. Bu-| teau and Kane on the remains of Patrick | Donovan, a laborer who was found un- hey consclous in front of a saloon on lower Broadway, a few evenings ago, and who died twenty hours later.

OAKLAND, Dec. 27.—Drs. Buteau and Kane conducted an autopsy on the re- mains of Patrick Donovan, the man pick- ed up at_a saloon. on lower Broadway last Saturday night, and found that the | dead man’s skull had been fractured. | Much hemorrhage on the brain was found and the doctors are of the opinion that | this could not have been caused by one | blow upon the head.

OAKLAND, Dec. 2i.—The Merchants’ Exchange met to-night with several mem- | bers of the Alameda legisiative aelegation | ito discuss certain bills relating to mu- | stual insurance, the garnishment of offi- cial salaries, tunnel roads and other mat- ters in which the exchange is interested. Senators Stratton and Taylor and Assem- blymen Knowland and Kelly were pres- ent, and were given the benefit of the investigations made by the exchange. President Arper created a little sensa- tion by stating that the exchange had “played even” with Assemblyman Way- | mire,who opposed the bill for garnisheeing salaries at the last Legislature. “But we | got even,” said President Arper, “a little Jater. Our opponent was seeking higher game, S0 we sent an interesting record of .the whole transaction to the White | House and we have every reason to be- Jieve that it contributed largely toward the desired result.” . Another Parker Missing. OAKLAND, Dec.-21.—There is another J. R. Parker missing. In last Saturday's Call ‘appeared the following personal: “Mr. J. R. Parker— Am in San Jose, Cal; write or come. Lill, I. O. O. F., room 24." At the time this was thought to have connection with the then miSsing attor- ney,. 3 Parker, but inquiry in San Jose revealed the fact the personal was meant for Joseph R. Parker of San Jose, whd left his family about six months ago ahd was a plumber by trade. This is the thitd Parker that has figured as missing or involved in mystery of late. Only last week Joseph M. Parker, a stockman, died suddenly at the German Hospital on Washington street. Mrs. Holton Declared Insane. OAKLAND, Dec. 21.—Mrs. Ada Holton, the insane woman who murderously at- tacked Matron Hattie McDonald at the Receiving - Hospital last Sunday night, was finally examined by the Lunacy Com- misioners to-day and was committed to Stockton by Superfor Judge Greene. Mrs. Holton is growing worse, if anything. She constantly labors under the delusion tnat eople are trying to poison her. She also imagined that Matron McDonald intended to kill her.

Brother Ambrose Perished on the Ill-Fated La Bourgoyne. OAKLAND, Dec. 2.—The report that Brother Ambrose, who is well known in this city, with other members of the Christian Brothers, had been exiled to India for breach of discipline, is incor- rect. Brother Ambrose perished in the La Bourgoyne disaster last July while on his way to France for a few months’ rest and retreat. He was one of the best known members of tue order on the coast, hav- ing resided in California nearly eignteen years. He taught in St. Mary’s College in this city, and was afterward made director of ihe college at Sacramento. It was at his own request that he was per- to go to the mother Yduse in France for a few months’ recreation and study. Brother Ambrose was not connect- ed in any way with the dispute that arose about teaching certain studies in the American colleges of the order. | The members of the American branch of the order desired to teach Latin and Greek in their colleges, but the classics are not taught in the colleges in France, and the parent house, which is situated there, decided that the American order must follow the parent house and not add the classics to the college curriculum. In vain the American brothers pleaded, and the zeal of the leaders called down %8 Broadway, Dec. the displeasure of the head of the house | At noon next Monday Alameda’s and they were promptly disciplined, as | county government will take office. stated in a dispatch from New York pub- lished in todays Call. =~ rother Maurice, president of Locl < HIll College, Maryland, was semt to | 98¥. as no legal India; Brother Felix, who resided in | 2 was sent to England, and Brother Paulian left hurriedly for France.

HERE is, after all, to be an election contest. Notice of it was filed this afterncon by Samuel W. Heller, who contests the election of Sheriff-elect Oscar L. Rogers, who received a majority of something like 1000 last November. Mr. Heller was an independent candidate for Sheriff and in his contest he outlines his political course during the campalgn, and also the fact that Sheriff-elect Rogers promised him a deputyship, which promise has not been kept. The paper filed by Heller's attorneys, Sawyer & Burnett, is an interesting document. It sets forth that prior to November 12 of this year, and during the year 1898, this contestant was an independent candi- date for the public office of Sheriff of Alameda County, to be voted for at the election held on the Sth day of November, 1898, and as such candidate was indorsed by the electors compris- ing what was and is known as the People’s Party, or Middle of the Road People’s Party, also the indorsement and nomination of a great many so- cietles and orders, composed of elec- tors within said county, and also a large individual following of electors within said county. That Oscar L. Rogers was at all the times herein and still is the regu- lar Republican candidate for the pub- lic office of Sheriff of Alameda County, to be voted for by the electors of said county on the §h day of November, 1898, and on or about the 17th day of November, 1898, was declared the duly elected Sheriff of Alameda County. That at a time in the month of Oc- tober, 1893, and while said contestant was the candidate aforesaid, Oscar 1. Rogers sought and solicited the friends of said contestant and secured 'the aid of said friends to get said contestant to withdraw as said candidate, and as an Inducement and con- sideration to sald contestant for said withdrawal and to vote for him the said Oscar L. Rogers, and for said contestant’s ald and following and support in the election of said Oscar L. Rogers, he, the sald Oscar L. Rogers did then and there offer and agree with Doctor George H. Der- rick, an elector of said Alameda County, who was then and there a friend of said contestant and was acting for safd contestant in that re- spect, to appoint the contestant to a public office, to wit, Deputy Sheriff of Alameda County, to act on and after the 1st day of January, 1899, and for four years thereafter, and such promise, agreement, inducement and consideration was conveyed to said contestant by said Dr. George H. Der- rick, and in consideration of said offer, agreement, promise and induce- ment said contestant did withdraw from said election as said candidate, and did do all within his means and power in aid of the election of said Oscar L. Rogers. That after said offer, promise and inducement and the withdrawal of said contestant from said election, and at a time prior to the 8th day of November, 1898, said Oscar L. Rogers, with full knowledge of said offer, promise and inducement and the withdrawal of said contestant, confirmed said offer and promise, and did then and there agree to make such good in every respect. Contestant is informed and believes and therefore alleges the fact to be that sald Oscar L. Rogers made like offers and promises prior to said election and as an inducement in aid thereof, to W. S. Harlow, George Taylor, W. W. Morrison, J. H. Striker, Elmer Walsh, George Wales, Wii- liam Holland, Hugh Smith and one O'Banion. ‘Wherefore contestant prays that said Oscar L. Rogers be not allowed to take said office of Sheriff of Alameda County, to which he was elected, and that the same be declared forfeited and null and void and for such other and further relief that may be proper, with his costs herein. Since his election Rogers has announced his deputies, and Heller is not one of them.

His Wife Fails to Secure the Court’s Order for Alimony. ALAMEDA, Dec. 27.—E. A. von Schmidt had his first tussle in court this morning in connection with his wife's sult for a separation. The captain was represented by Attorney Hugh Aldrich and he won a gnal victory. His wife's motion for $300 attorney's fees and $100 a month alimony pending the proceedings was denied. Cap- tain von Schmidt then voluntarily offered to pay $75 a month for tne maintenance of his_children.

Citizens Claim the Board Conducted Its Business Carelessly and Gave Too Much Power to the Librarian. ALAMEDA, Dec. 27.—A movement is on foot among several prominent citizens of this city to bring suit against the Free Library Trustees, under whose regime John Harbourne held the office of libra- rian, for the recovery of the amount for which it was found Harbourne was short after he had levanted. Harbourne cashed $2300 of warrants drawn to pay San Fran- cisco firms who had business dealings with the library. He not only cashed the | warrants but appropriated the funds. The San Francisco firms in qu suing the city to determine whether they or the municipality must suffer for Harbourne's defalcation. The citizens who now propose to sue the Library Trustees will contend that as Harbourne was appointed by the latter he acted as their agent and they are re- sponsible for his shortcomings. It will also be contended that the board conduct- ed Its business in a loose manner and in- trusted matters to the librarian entirely outside of his line of duty. It is claimed that he was not a member of the library board and could not officially handle its funds. 1t i duties of the secreta known that he fulfilled many of the and this is what warrants and forge the names of those to_whom they were made payable. If the courts should decide that the library trustees are responsible for Har- bourne’s shortage, the money recovered will go into the city treasury and new warrants will be drawn in favor of those forged by the defaulting librarian. library t ees. The first was composed of John Brick, now a member of the City Trustees; George H. Mastick, John Lutgen, R. H. Magill Sr. and Isaac P. Allen. Allen was secretary of the body and being a close personal friend of Har- bourne’s, delegated most of his official duties_to him. This board continued in office four years, when Brick, Magill and Allen were succeeded by Charles L. Wel- ler, now librarian; Herman Toelken and George S. Ames. Ames “skipped ou a while ago with a new wife, without going through the legal formalify of getting a divorce from the first. During the regime of the latter board George H. Mastick acted as secretary, and the business methods of its predecessors were changed. All of the trustees named will be made parties to the proposed suit. Reward for a Husband’s Body. ALAMEDA, Dec. 27.—Mrs. Louis Kam- mer has offered a reward for the recov- ery of the body of her husband, who dis- appeared several weeks ago. The hat, watch and purse were picked up on Bay Farm Island bridge. Mrs. Kammer ad- heres to the theory that her husband was foully dealt with, while many of his friends claim that he has disappeared to avoid his wife, with whom he was known to have had considerable trouble. They assert that the hat and other articles were left on the bridge as a ruse to cre. ate the impression that the man had com- mitted sufcide. Mrs. Kammer and a man named Sut- ten, who lived at her place, sought infor- mation the same day Kammer dlsn‘)— peared as to what course they should pursue to collect his life Insurance. uhe companies have refused to pay the poli- cles unless Kammer's body is produced or satisfactory evidence of his death is offered.

According to the Frankfurter Zeitung, a brizk trade is likely to spring up in Bis- marck’s hair. Popular tradition had for years credited him with only three capil- lary growths, but the legend takes no ac- count of beard and mustache. It appears that from May 1, 189, to March 23, 1897, the duty of coiffeur to the venerable Chancellor devolved upon Herr Rohring of Bergedorf, who was summoned when his services were required by a telegram or letter from the great man’'s valet. On each occasion he was graciously permit- ted to take away the snippings, which he inclosed in an envelope. These precious packets, together with the valet’s mis- sives and his own solemn declaration of the facts upon oath, were duly deposited with a notary at Reinbeck, who attests their reception and safe keeping.
