OCIETY waited all yesterday with bated breath for the report of the gun or the clank of the sword that would make Greenway a- self- avenger and “Addie” Mizner a handsome corpse. But there were no fearful sounds to disturb the Lenten quiet. Greenway went around explaining to his friends, “Why, jon’t you know there is absolutely | no truth in the report that Mizner vented We're the best of his spite in my beer. riends, don’t you know. And Mizner—well, he just smiled a su- perior smile and gave out the information that he was a “gentleman.” “Two negatives make an affirmative.” Therefore, in spite of the Greenway and Mizner “noes,” the fact must remain that Greenway’s malt beverage was diluted by the Mizner saliva. According to Mizner, it has been a long standing. feud that finally resulted in the wet and bloodless encounter. It is a sad stary, for it owes its origin to a wine bottle and ends ignominiously in a beer glass. “I'm first of all a gentleman,” sald Ad- dle Mizner, “'so 1 must really deny that I spat in Greenway’'s beer.

He aidn’t say a word in answer to me, and that is really all there is to the story.” Mizner explained his side of the salivar. battle with a minute regard for detall. He traced the “feeling” that led to the final meeting away back three months ago, when he met the soeial leader face to face in the dining-room of a Los An- geles hotel “l was drinking wine of the Widow Clicquot,” he sald, “and Greenway was drinking wine—the kind he sells. That my bottle did not have a Mumm label set him off, and then and there I believe he vowed to be revenged upon me.” According to the tale, Greenway’s re- venge was of a sort that broke out in- termittently in sneering remarks such as would wound the feelings of any wine- drinking gentleman. Finally Mizner came to the conclusion that a man with a long line of Irish ancestors could not endure such calumny, and he declded he would | so inform the leader at their very next m A e o e e e e e e e A o o D e o e e o e D e e o S S on e o 2 o o ting. ‘“The night I met him,” Mizner said, *'T considerately waited until all the ladies had left the cafe. He had his friends with him. I was alone. I .went up (o bis table and acked him to step aside for a moment with me. ‘Why, what is the u Addie,’ he said, with a great show of hy gcrhgcnl cordiality. ‘Sit down right e, But Addie did not sit down. He called to the leader and said: ‘‘You have been Pauslns slurring rem?‘rks about me and f you don’t stop I'll knock the liver and ufm out of you. I'll do it right now, too, of you only give me a chance and come out from behind that table.” But no Greenway came to meet the Mizner fist, and so instead of any blood being spilt, a mouthful of saliva spoiled a good glass of beer. After reading the cold bare facts of the battle yesterday, Mizner was in a repen- tent mood. “‘Poor old Greenway,' he said. “I'm really sorry for him. He is ‘dotty’ and I would not be surprised to hear in a week or so that he was working in a nut fac- tory. Come to think of it,” he mused, “I ‘don’t believe I really would have smashed him. But this holds good if he talks of me again—I'll spank him. While Mizner was pitying the “ex- leader,” Greenway was positively declar- ing that he knew -nothing whatsoaver about an encounter Saturday or any other time between Mizner and himself. ““We are good friends,” he said. “‘There is no lll-feeflng between us, and this talk about a ‘spat’ is all bosh.” % 3 } * : @ § } HY 1I'D SPANK GREENWAY,” S410, "AvoY e R e e e S L R i S e . ] he saw the hand of God and knew i 4 and hi veral ords preacher oy evils of thelr em the to th, & WITNE e ——— SSES DID NOT SEE ADAMS SHOOT Testimony at the Preliminary Exam- ination of Kepner’s Slayer Not Startling.

Emil F. Ball, first assistant engineer of the steamer Alcazar, I3 in a peck of trouble. Bail, who is a cripple, has been separated from his wife for several years, but Mrs. Bail has not yet got over the habit of collecting her husband's wages, and he says she is invariably on hand on pay day to relieve him of a portion of his earnings. Yesterday, however, Ball secured his month’'s wages before his wife hove in sight. His joy was short lived, however. Mrs. Bail overhauled him on Main-street wharf and proceeded to collect. She was accompanied by her mother and a male friend, and while the latter held her hus- band, 5o he claims, she went through his pockets, taking every cent she could find. ¢ & | was infinitesimally small, crime was on | the increase. Statistics derived from San | Quentin and other penitentiaries indicate that the majority of criminals were edu- cated; that they at least could read and | write. It had once been sald that when | the people were intelligent they would re- frain from crime. Vast sums had been expended on the public school system; | vast tracts of land had been given; the | enerous hands of the living and the es- | tates of the dead were constantly enrich- ing educational institutions. Had the trial of making men moral by the public schools been a success? His answer was in the negative. 5 Living right would be easy If there was only one way o put pictures before the soul; if only the intellect was the ugen- cy.

Did Not Tell Her the Name of the Bride, but Said She Was Prin- cipal of a Mission School. * 2 X The Craven-Fair attorneys sprung a big surprise yesterday morning by introduc- ing an entirely new and unexpected wit- ness, whose testimony, if not impeached, will materially strengthen the case of the alleged widow of the dead millionaire. The new witness Is a woman plain of feature and small of stature, and the im- portance of her testimony lies not so much in what she said as in the manner of saying it, her apparent sincerity and simple straightforwardness. The name of the new witness {s Mrs. Julia Hobbose and she resides on the other side of the bay, in the little town of San Pablo. Five minutes after she took the stand to tell what she knew about the alleged marriage of the late Senator to the school teacher, the lan- guid indifference of the attorneys for the opposition became suddenly transformed into the most intense interest, while the crowd of spectators in the courtroom braced up and, smacking their lips in an- ticipation, craned their necks to catch all that was said. Mrs. Hobbose said she first met Senator Fair in 182, when she was living at 217 Seventeenth street. “How did Fair happen to call upon you?’ asked Attorney Charles Pence. Asked Fair for Aid. “My husband died in 1892,” said Mrs. Hobbose, “from injuries received in the employment of Senator Fair. In my struggle to support my children I became oor and was forced to seek outside ald. wrote to Senator Falr, inclosing a | hotograph of my chitdren, and asking Elm for assistance. He came to the house in answer to my letter ana questioned me about my condition. I told him how poor 1 was and of the illness of my oldest son. He gave me $35, which I was to use in sending my son into the country.” i “‘Can you fix the date of the Senator’s visit?"” “Not exactly, but it was about May 20, 1892. 1 have a letter from my son, dated May 20, 1882, and it was about that time that Fair cailed upon me. I left the house on Seventeenth street on June 10. At ‘the time of Semator Fair's second visit he asked her how much money she had received since her husband’s death, and she toid him she had received from his lawyers the sum of $350. After talk- ing about the children the conversation drifted to the subject of marriage. “Senator Fair asked me why I did not marry again. 1 replied that I did not be- lieve in second marriages, and that if s« did desire to marry I could not get a husband of means. To my statement air replied that I was mistaken about the value of second marriages. ‘I have just married a second time,’ he said, ‘and I have obtained a good woman. She is neither young nor handsome, but she is kind and charitable. She has more char- ity in her than have all the churches in an_ Francisco.’ se“'Did he mention the name of his second wife?"” “*No, but he sald she was principal of a school in the Mission. ‘She Works as hard as you do,’ sald he, ‘but in a different way. She has been a teacher for years. This ended the direct examination and the witness was handed over to the tender mercies of Attorney Pierson, representing the trustees. '?Dld you ever visit Senator Fair in re- gard to_your husband’s death? “‘No, I never saw him until he came to house in 1802.” Do you know the date of his visit?” ate? “By a letter which I received from my son. T had sent him to La Honda, San Mateo County, for his heaith, and thig was the first letter I received from him.” “Where s that letter now?” «T. D. Riordan, my cousin, has it.” Riordan Is Disinterested. “Is Mr. Riordan employed by Mrs. Craven?”’ Pence took occasion to interrupt Pier- son's examination to say that Riordan is not employed in Mrs.” Craven's cause. “Riordan is just a friend,” he said, “and nothing more. He has all Mrs. Hobbose’s correspondence and will produce it' when necessary. Tt was then agreed that Riordan should produce any papers bearing upon the case Bt 2 o'clock. In return for this courtesy Plerson consented to have Fair's effects examined, in the hope of discovering the ob- ose to Fair. A recess was taken at this point_until 2 Ba Crothers m., but at that hour Attorney Plerson d not- arrived. At 3 p. m. Attorney informed the court that Mr. last Thursday we placed the first of the J.

Mrs. Craven-Fair and Louis Dunand Give Their Testimony. | Mrs. Craven-Fair was the star witness in the Grand Jury investigation last night. She arrived on the scene in company with Mrs. Cossack at about'$ o'clock, and was closeted with the inquisitors for exactly two hours and ten minutes. She repeated the story which she told in court, and throughout a rigid questioning stuck to the main facts that have already been published. Louis Dunand, accompanied by a body guard, .waited in the corridor impatiently while Mrs. Craven-Fair was testifying and he was admonished by Attorney Lafe Pence to answer all questions regarding the Sausalito episode truthfully and with- out reserve, but that under no’ circum- stance was he to divulge the name of any new witnesses or testimony which he might have found in his recent investiga- ions. 8 Dunand was also before the Grand Ju? for nearly two hours and will be recalled, as he had not finished his testimony when adjournment was taken.
