Henry W. von Kapff, ex-constable of Alameda, who was recently convicted of having sworn falsely to affidavits at- tached to his claims for fees, was sen- tenced by Judge Hall to-day to one year's imprisonment in San Quentin, a motion for a new trial having been previously de- nied. By stipulation it was agreed that the making out of the commitment be de- ferred for another week to give Von Kapff time in which to appeal to the Supreme Court, but it is believed that he does not desire to appeal. Before pronouncing sentence Judge Hall took occasion to criticize the system of paying fees to petty officers. He noted the fact that Von Kapff while in office had about fifteen deputies. “This number,” s=aid his Honor, “was | not required to attend to the ordinary business that could come to his office, and consequently it was hard for deputies to make fees. | man finds hims vict. having perjured dimes.” Von Kapff, who at one time was one of the most popular young men in Alameda, appeared crestfallen when sentence was pronounced.

Mr. Carter appeafed at the City Hall to-day with his tale of the goat. He told the legal gentlemen that at the free market last Saturday he pur- chased Mr. William from an unknown dealer. The goat was frisky and ap- peared to be a very lively animal. In fact, it tried to use Its horns on the way to the Carter home. Mr. Carter pald $2 for the goat and two hours after he bought it William died. Mr. Carter serlously informed the prosecut- ing attorney that $1 per hour for rhe possession of a goat was direct fraud and he asked for the assictance of a police nfficer and a John Doe warrant to go and secure the arrest of the goat merchant. Attorney Samuels declined to issue _the warrant, stating that in his opinion buying goats was something like swapping horses—you have to take your chance. Mr. Carter Icft the City Hall totally dissatisfied that a citizen of Oakland could have no redress from the courts after being so grievously imposed upon in the purchase of a goat.

Oakl: d Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Oct. 13. A rather sensatfonal suit was filed in the Superior Court this afternoon by Mrs Mary Petermann of Mount Eden against Fred C. Siebe of San Francisco, her de- ceased husband's former business part- ner, wherein she makes grave charges of having been duped by him out of a con- iderable porrion of the $100,000 estate left to her and eight children by her husband, Henry Petermann, who died in April, 1891 The complaint recites that shortly after the husband's death a son, Henry Peter- mann Jr., engaged in business and spec- ulative enterprises, borrowing large sums | from Siebe, in whom the widow had re- posed implicit confidence and who had voluntarily offered his advice and counsel pertaining to her property. Young Peter mann sustaincd heavy losses and in 1864 was indebted to Siebe for §15,000. Mrs. Petermann, however, had no knowlec f such transactions until Siebe presented he notes to her for indorsement, long s, Siebe advising her 'that hecessary for her to con- It an attorney in the matter Later, continues the complaint, and while young Petermann was insolvent, Siebe loaned $1000 more and took a note for the same, which she never indorsed, and on October 2, 18%, defendant blandly informed her that “she s now indebted to him in the sum of 000 and that in order to secure payment of the same it would be necessary for her to execute t would not mortgages upon certaln of her realty in favor of Siebe. She then executed two mortgages, cne for $20,000 on Alameda County 1prupcny and the other for $3000 on, San Francisco property, “*All of which plaintiff alleges was done without any consideration and fendant wickedly and falsely that she owed him 8§23, 0 for the purpose of defrauding and cheat ing her out of her property.” ater Mrs. Petermann was prevailed upon by Siebe to surrender control of her property, so It appear in the complaint. and finally, in April, 1896, she was pre- vailed upon to make' a deed. e plain- tiff further alleges that in taking control ; Siebe also collected notes she ha ainst various parties for over $20,000, none of which he gave her credit for, and that on September 27, de- fendant claimed she owed him $34,637, and requested a trust deed for all he rop- erty, threatening if she refused he would foreclose the mortgage: erts that she never owed Siebe over 320 sks that the court direct Siebe to render an accounting and that the mortgages given by her to him be declared null and void.
