This year all thése votes have to be divided between Davie and Snow, and in addition there are 1500 new votes from the annexed districts, the political complexion of which is a matter of guesswork. Snow has always carried the solid Re- publican vote of Oakland. Whenever. he was nominated for Auditor it has always been conceded that he would carry the full Republican majority with him, and he has always done so. It is to this abil- ity of Snow's to carry his party that he | depends for his election. | More than ever attention is being di- rected to the “silent vote.” In Oakland, out of its 12,000 voters, about 3000 talk.

They discuss their poli- tics together, and as a rule vote preity much the same way. On the Republican ticket this time there are six candidates for the Council who are commuters, and of these most of them will probaly get the solid vote of thelr dally fellow-trav- clers.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, March 11.—The discovery made yesterday that Assembly bill No. 908, introduced by Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson and which provides for an amendment to that section of the Code of Civil Procedure relating to the com- petency of certain witnesses, was ramed apparently for the purpose of record for the plaintiff in the Murdock case. He is only associate counsel. It was at my request that he introduced Assembly bill No. 908. There is nothing wrong about it, and if there is I will| take the blame of it. Defendant's at- torneys have taken the deposition of | the plaintiff, but under the present law we are not allowed to examine her as to facts concerning relations or con- been done by opposing counsel wflll work to their disadvantage. ' Now that the scheme has been ex- posed, there is no danger that the bill will ever pass out of the hands of the | Judiciary Committee of the Senate, | where it now is, for the reason that the | committee is made up of gentlemen | learned in the law and fully aware of | the viciousness of the proposed mea- sure. To allow a live person to testify | against one who is dead, and therefore not able to refute false something that never has been, is not| now and never will be permitted by | the laws of this country. There seems | to be here oc on for the shedding of | more tears by Mr. johnson. A FLAGRANT BREACH OF HIS PRIVILEGE | | The cunning scheme of Assembiyman Grove L. Johnson to smuggle through | an amendment to section 1880 of the Code of Civil Procedure, for the al-| leged purpose of enabling him to gain | decisions in certain cases now pending, | involving hundreds of thousands of dollars, wherein he appears as attorney for the litigants, is looked upon by members of the legal profession in this city as a-flagrant breach of privilege on the part of a legislator and ex- tremely reprehensible. It generally | believed that the exposure of the scheme by the publication of the facts in the case in The Call yesterday morn- | ing will result in the defeat of the pro- theless, the fact that a member of the ture should use his po nal ends, or gants not so fortunate or unfortuns as to have a member of the Legisla- ture for is regarded matter r n may succeed in squirming out of the predicament in which he finds himself, and wh there meay be no law to punish leg | who are found guilty of such practices | the publicity of an investigation by a | legislative committee would have a| tors - MEXICAN DAN “THEY CERTAINLY WERE NOT GOO D T0 ME.” affecting the status of certain lawsuits in which Mr. Johnson is interested, or expects to be interested as an attorney, has caused a great amount of comment here to-day. In the termination of two of the suits referred to as being im- mediately affected by the passage of the bill introduced by Mr. Johnson more than a half-million dollars is in- volved. The proposed law has a direct bear- ing on the case of Amanda Austin vs. George Wilcoxson, executor of the es- tate of Jefferson Wilcoxson, deceased, in which Johnson is attorney for plaint- iff. The suit is for the recovery of $150,000 alleged to be due for services rendered the deceased as nurse and ‘housekeeper. The second s.it, and the one that is more particularly affected by the pro- posed law, is that of Mary Helen Mur- dock vs. the estate of Willlam Murdock, deceased. This suit is for the recovery of the principal and interest on a note alleged to have been given plaintiff by Murdock at some time prior to his death. The note with accrued interest amounts to about $380,000. In this case Johnson does not appear as an attorney of record. His exact connection with the case is somewhat clouded, as will be seen from the following statement made to-day by Frank Freeman, attorney for plaintiff: “Mr. Johnson is not an attorney of tracts entered into or existing between herself and the deceased prior to the latter's death. We simply seek to have the law so amended as to enable us to do this. Mr. Johnson is not an attorney for the plaintiff. I don’t know wHether he will be one or not. That all de- pends on circumstances.” “Does his employment as counsel for plaintiff depend upon his success in get- ting the bill passed?” was asked. “Noj; that is not a condition.” From this it would appear that Mr. Johnson is and is not acting in the capacity of attorney for the person who is to be benefited by the passage of the proposed law. That the bill was intro- duced and its passage is sought by Mr. Johnson is admitted. That it was in- troduced for the purpose of benefiting the plaintiff in the Murdock case is also admitted. It is also evident that Mr. Johnson is fully aware of the purpose of the bill ; It seems that Mr. Johnson is tak- ing advantage of his position as member of the Legislature to use the power of that body to assist him in winning a lawsuit in which he is, or may be, or hopes to be, interested as an attorney. The defendant’s at- torneys having proceeded under the law, and within its limitations, by taking the deposition of the plaintiff to the action, Mr. Johnson now seeks to change the law so that what has wholesome effect and put the people on their guard. Johnson will of course deny that the proposed amendment was intended to | benefit his clients specifically, but to show how utterly absurd any such de- nial would be it is only necessary to quote a few facts. For instance, as stated in The Call yesterday morning, Johnson is one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the now celebrated case of Mary Helen Murdock et al, against the estate of the late William Murdock, wherein it is sought to recover princi- pal and interest on a mnote for $100,- 000, dated in 1877, and bearing interest at the rate of 1 per cent a 'month, the entire amount sued for now amounting to half a million dollars. As the law stands, section 3 provides that “parties or assignors of parties to an action or proceeding, or persons in whose behalf an action or proceeding is prosecuted against an executor or administrator, upon a claim or demand against the es- tate of a deceased person, as to any matter of fact occurring before the death of such deceased person,” are dis- qualified as witnesses in such action. Mary Helen Murdock is a party to the action for half a million dollars against the estate of Willilam Murdock, and under the law she cannot testify to any facts or matter occurring before th death of the deceased. Some time a Attorney Lusk, acting for the adminis- trator of the estate, took Mary Helen’s deposition on a minor point or two hav- ing a small bearing on the present suit. Here is where Johnson gets in his fine | come fully competent I down the for the introduc n of pro ited testimony in the case of Amanda Austin vs. estate of Jef- | posed amendment in the Senate. Never- | ) | holding up as an excuse the general ap- work, for his amendment to the code} which has been smuggled through the Assembly and is now pending in the | Senate, is cleverly worded so as to make Mary Helen eligible as a witness in the pending litigation by reason of | her having made a deposition in the case. Referring to section 3 above quoted the amendment sa “Pro- vided that such persuns or parties be- if required by the executor or administrator to testify | or be sworn in the action as to such | D40+04G+0+0+ charges, is|matters, either on the trial or by depo- | § sition.” In view of these fact son cannot deny, it is hardly likely that any amount of explaining on part will serve to convince any one capable | of putting two and two together that; which John- | he is wholly disinterested in the amend- (O ment to the code proposed by him. Not only will the amendment prove of great | benefit to the plaintiffs in the suit ate, should it . but it will also let ed. wherein ferson Wilc plaintiff = se: leged to be attorney fo as in the Mu SENATE ROUTINE OF CONFIRMATIONS AND BILLS LL HEADQUARTERS.
