Yet the day did not pass without' its sur- prise. When court, attorneys and report- ers were preparing to settle in their seats for the long two and a half hours of the afternoon session, to the astonishment | of all McEnerney asked that the case | g0 over until Monday morning, April 2. | Long and eloquently did that attorney talk, but he might have spared himself the labor, for not only were the attorneys on both sides of a mind, but Judge Troutt also thought that a continuance would be advisable. The petitioners have now finished their case. When MTs® Craven- Fair is put upon the stand a week from Monday she will be cross-egafiined in re- gard to statements concernibg the deeds. ! | % MRS. JAMES GILLERAN EXPLAINS CASH-BOOK ENTRIES. After that McEnerney, Pierson, Heggerty, Wheeler et al. will have their fling, and | the work of rebuttal will begin. | The trial opened yesterday morning with | Clerk Janes of the Windsor Hotel in the | witness chair. All he was asked to do | was to identify a small pile of moth-eaten | oks which contain the accounts &f Mrs. | b Gllieran during the year 1892 when Falr made 8 Mecea of the hotel, the shrine at whic] ding to allegation. rs. Gilleran mounted the stand with alacrity of body and the same friskiness h he worshiped being Mrs. Craven, | Mrs, Crayen had borrowed $15 from her | and | called upon Mrs. Craven-Fair with the FAIR TRIAL POSTPONED AT REQUEST OF DEFENSE| i TROUBLE IN 'Petitioners Wind Up Their Case With a Call for Grand Jury Papers and Concluding Examination of Mrs. Gilleran, Which Was Brief. e e S S e o e U O—OM—H—Q—MM—«@+0—'¢—0—WH e e R e e S A S of spirit she displayed at her first en- counter with McEnerney. Clad in warm- colored velvet and with new and stunning head gear, she looked thirsty for a fray, but it came not. McEnerney's cross-ex- amination was very -brief. With all' the hotel business literature in hand McEner- ney began his cross-questioning. “Mrs. Gilleran, does the item $57 75 en- tered August 11, 1892, purporting to be a recelpt for the amount of Mrs. Craven's bill mean in full?” “Yes, it does,” was the réady response. “Fifty dollars was for board and lodg- ing, the $7 75 for extra: The extras were mostly bottles of beer, with an occasional cocktail, as the redirect examination brought out. On redirect examination Lafe Pence was equally brief, ““When Mrs. Craven left did she pay the account in full?” said Pence. “I think so; but she was a little short, and she asked me for a loan,” responded Mrs. Gilleran. Did she repay it? Yes, when she ‘opened the package at the California - Hbtel.” Mr. McEnerney objected to this answer going into the evidence, claiming that Mrs. Gilleran testified on Thursday last that the money given her at the Califor- nia Hotel was in payment of a board bill. Much argumerit ensued, and Mrs. Gilleran | cut off the attorneys by asseverating that that it was returned the time she package. Nothing that McEnerney could i @+ 0400000006004+ 0+0000 Lthe contract to which she an "”“”’E l r o 77 { i, ) do sh:ok the witness’ testimony in this regard. ecretary Rock of the Grand Jury suc- ceeded Mrs. Gilleran on the stand. *“Have ou wny letter, Mr. Rock, purporting to e from Mr. Dunand to myself?” began Lafe Pence. Under objection the letiter was produced and read into the record. It was nothing more or less than a letter a?pflsln Pence of Dunand’s {tinerary on his Mexican and Central American trip. Rock admitted that he had no other paper signed by Dunand, Mrs. Craven-Fair or Henry Koehler Jr. “In whose hands was the $30,000 contract between Mrs. Craven-Fair and Mr. Du- nand when you received it?” inquired Lafe Pence. To this McEnerney objected, provoking a long speech from Lafe Pence, who de- clared that it was necessary and import- ant to know in whose hands the paper had been. The clock at this stage regis- tered adjourning time. There was rather a full house for the afterncon session, which did not last long enough to satisfy a tithe of the idle curi- osity manifested in the case. Mrs. Craven- Fair was expected to take the stand, but again that lady remained away and the at- torneys for the Fair heirs were forced to content themselves with a few Interroga- tory shafts directed against the much- abused Mr. E. R. Rock. Hardly had Judge Troutt taken his seat when Lafe Pence arose and asked the court to admit in evidence the famous “Do you know your name’” slip. Of course, McEnerney battled against it, claiming that it was not yet proved to be in the handwriting of James G. Falr. The court willed otherwise and the slip was admitted. Then Rock was called for the second time durirg the day. The Pence brother- hood did not want much, but they wanted that very badly. “Was the lead, pencil indorsement of the Dunand-Craven con- tract on it when it came to your hands?" was Lafe Pence’s inquiry. “With an ap- peal to the court before replving, and re- celving ananswer from Judge Troutt to do s0, that it was. Further ex- amination brought out the fact that the Grand Jury did not have any other papers with Mrs. Craven-Fair's signature than Dunand had subscribed their names. The Simpton af- fidavit, called the ‘“‘midnight affidavit,* was produced by Mr. Rock on the request | of Attorney Plerson and read off for the benefit of the Pence brotherhood as well as the phalanx of Fair attorneys. Here the case came to its sudden and unexpected adjournment, Judge Troutt readily agreeing to the wishes of the at- torneys. —_—— - The Assault on Barling. The preliminary examination of P. J. Curtin of Curtin's detective agency on the charge of an assault with Intent to do grievous bodlly harm upon H. J. Barling, a friend of Mrs. Craven, was begun befura Judge Cabaniss yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Mary Ruggles, 812 Post street, tes- tified that she had gone with Barling to Judge Troutt's courtroom to listen to the testimony in the Craven-Fair case. After they left the courtroom two men attacked Barling. They knocked him down and beat him with their fists and feet. She was too excited to take particular notice of the men. Barling_testified that he was a salmon packer, He recognized the defendant as a man who had been following him around for about two months prior to the assault in the corridor of the City Hall. He de- scribed how the defendant and the other man attacked and kicked him on the face and body while he was down. E. W. Schmidt, an oil man from San | Diego, testified that he heard a woman scream and saw a fight, but he could not identify the defendant. Theodore Kytka also saw the fiay and heard the wuman scream. Ex-Chief Lees testified to lifting Barling up after the fight and as to the condition of his face.. The case was con- tinued till Friday, SCHOOL BOARD STRIKES BACK AT R. H. WEBSTER | Chairman Mark Replies to Criticisms on the Methods of the Directors. The Board of Education yesterday. struck back at School Superintendent Webster, who, for some time past, has given expression to some severe strictures | regarding the policy of that body on va- rious matters affecting the welfare of the public scnools. President Mark presented in open letter, in which he says that his | attention has been called to interviews ihat have been published attacking the board for its method of conducting the | Hairs of the department. “The Superintendent has seen fit,” says o criticize us for the recent His statement that we have thereby impaired the efficlency of the schools is false. We have made com- paratively few consolidations and only consolidations. where the average daily attendance was | far below foriy-five pupils to a class. The Superintendent further states that in our financial reports we have purposely mis- led the pubiic by claiming a saving in the department to our management and not giving credit to the last board. If I hi seemed at any time to take away any credit to which it was entitled I desire to apologize for so doing. ““The Superintendent that we have destroyed the ‘merit sys- tem’ and substituted a plan of handing out positions to favorites. I presume by | “merit system’ he means observing strictly the chronological order of appointment. Length of service does not necessarily | make for efficiency, but breadih of expe- rience should be the watchward. In all our recent consolidations not one experi- enced teacher has been placed on the sub- stitute list, but all have been assigned immediately to a class. The base insinua- tion that we are in league with tn prin- cipals for the sole purpose of eding | out teachers is an Insuit to the board, and (any one whe dares to make such a state- | ment basely misrepresents the facts of the case. | "1 'deny that the board intends to reduce salaries, bug we are determined to con- duct the department on strict business principles. The fact that the janitors and | employes in the repair department will be paid by the Board of Public Works will reduce the salary roll over $65,000 a yvear, Taking the Superintendent's estimate of 2VE | the | further contends | average dally attendance of 37,000, which I think is over-estimated, the revenue for salaries will be $1,036,000. Taking last month as a basis, which is quite high and which we hope to euill reduce, the charter will provide ample money to conduct the department.” ———— CONFESSED HIS GUILT. Arrest of - Albert Hughes for a Burglary Committed at Lincoln. A young man giving the name of Albert Hughes was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectlves Ryan and O'Dea on sus- picion of Having stolen a lady's gold watch and a valuable dlamond ring, which he was trying to dispose of to a Third-street pawnbroker. When searched at the City Prison a pair of nippers was found secreted in the lining of his vest. In one of his pockets was discovered a discharge from the Stockton Insane Asy- lum, showing that Hughes, who was then known as Richardson, had been released from that institution in August, 189%. Last night the prisoner sent for the detectives who took him into custody and confessed that he had stolen the watch and ring from a house in Lincoln, Cal., during%hhe temporary absence of the occupants. e ring bears the inscription, “J. P. W. to M. E. B.” Inscribed on the inside of watch is the name ‘ Ella.”” Hughes is strongly suspected of having committed other crimes throughout the country. He will be held pending further investi- gation. ———— The climate of Cape Nome necessitates the use of fur blankets. You cannot get along without one. H.

Laponble of the Hayes Valley Laun- dry was yesterday fined $10 by Judge Fritz for an alleged violation of the laun dry ordinance in washing clothes on Su day. Laponble frankly admitted the of- fer . but denfed that it was a violution of the ordinance, and gave notice of his intention to test ‘the matter in the upper courts. The ordinance prohibits lautdry work during the night, but Laponble con- tends that to prohibit him from doing his work on Sundays is unconstitutiongl. —————— " COAL GOMPANY IS BLAMED BY A JURY Death of Edward Fitzgerald Said to Have Been Due to Lack of Precaution. Edward Fitzgerald, a coal-passer, resid- ing at 1208 Folsom street, had the misfor- tune to be killed on March 13 by falling oft a runway on the coal bunkers of the Pa- cifie Coast Rallway. The evidence taken at the inquest be{ura Coroner Cole yes- terday morning showed that if the run- way had been constructed with proper safeguards the accident might not have happened. A he jury took this view of the case and returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased had come to his death from shock due to Jfracture of the skull and the verdict goes on to say: “From fall- ing off a runway on the coal bunkers of the Pacific Coast Company while.in an in- toxicated condition, and we strongly rec- ommend, in order to prevent accidents of a similar nature in the future, that in all places where the Pacific Coast Company uses movable wire rope fences a perma- nent bumpin; inches high should be placed on the edge of the runway. “And we further recommend that the posts supporting the wire rope should be of a more substantial character and more firmly attached to the surface of the run- way, and that the Pacific Coast Company should provide better lighting facilities.” The Coroner approved of the verdict. —_—e———— BYRNE WAS TOO GAY. Thomas Byrne, a bartender, last night visited the room of Edna Webb at 246 Third street and proceeded to make vio- lent love to her. After satisfying himself that he had completely captivated her Byrne, in order to make Wmself a *‘good {’ellnw." went for a plicher of steam eer. ! On his return the fair Edna accused him of flirting with another inmate of the house, and, losing her temper, she snatched the pitcher from his hand and ‘brought it down on his head, inflicting an ugly wound. Both the woman and Byrne were arrested and charged with disturb- ing the peace. Byrne, prior to being locked up in the City Prison, had his bat- block not less than eight | SCAVENGERS HAD DODGING POLICE Only One Man Was Arrested While Hundreds Were Unmolested. —_— Carts Passed Without Covers Through the Streets and as Usual Dis- seminated the Bacteria of Disease Freely. Pt A The police arrested one scavenger yes- terday for violating the city ordinance, which provides that it shall be unlawful to use a cart for the collection and re- moval of general refuse unless it shall be perfectly tight and with a heavy cover, to be approved by the Board of Health, tightly fastened on at all times when the owner or driver is not collecting or depositing the general refuse. How | was that only one scavenger was arres! does not appear. All day there were un- covered scavenger carts, the drivers of Wwhich were utterly ignoring the law, mov- ing about all over the city. There are over 200 licensed scavenger carts and all of them were probably at work. There was not a street through which they did not pass at some hour of the day. The man who was taken in was C. Caesarevitch, and he was arrested by Sergeant Tobin on Powell street. Chief of Police Sulllvan was asked yes- terday morning why no arrests were made under the ordinance when it was noto- rlous that the scavengers were openly vio- lating it and had been doing so K)r a lon, period. The Chief pulled down a copy o the city ordinances and looked the ma‘ter up, and at once gave an order for tne ar- rest of violators of the ordinance in ques- tion. The order seemed to have little ter- rifying effect upon the law-breakers, for some mysterious reason. Market street and other principal streets were crosved and recrossed and traversed with impu- nity. Not one scavenger cart in the city engaged in collecting general refuse yes- terday, or If ever, had a cover fastenci to it, as the ordinance directs. The nearest afproach to compliance was a coverin of coarse cloth, partly over the load an: not attached to the cart, although tuckel under a part of the load to keep it from bilowing away. As a preventative against the escape of disease breeding bacteria it was utterly and dangerously inadequate. The ordinance provides for the approval of the cover by the Board of Health after inspection, and no license can issue fur a scavenger cart until after the Board of Health has certified, through the proper officer, that the ordinance has been com- plied with. Nevertheless there are in evi- dence over 200 licenses. The scavengers have evidently believed that the matter could all be fixed up with the officidls, otherwise they would not have ignored the ordinance. A large body of citizens are determined that the loose methods of the garbage collectors shall not be continued. More developments are expected. FISCHER SUCCEEDS IN PLEASING - THE PUBLIC The New Concert House Opens Under Auspices That Are More Than Favorable. Fischer’s concert house at 122 O'Fargell street, which opened for the first time on Monday night, bids falr to become one of the most popular places of amusement in the entire city. but such has been the rush the doors wcre closed at a little after 8 o’'clock last night. and from that time until midnight th doorkeepers had their hands full in turnu- ing away the disappginted ones who had come too late to get a seat. The new concert hall is beautifully deco- rated in white and gold, the acoustics are excellent and the programme that is nightly rendered includes everything that is best from ragtime to grand opera. Taking it all in all the place is just such a cne as the city has long wished for—a place where the expense of admission fs small enough to allow of one dropping in for an _hour or so without feeling con- strained to remain during the whole pro- gramme in order to get his money’s worth, The programmes rendered are the best that musical talent can produce, and the regulations that govern the place make it impossible for objectionable characters to make their presence felt and give to the house a reputation that might in time de- bar others from lending their patronage to it. The place will remain open every even- ing until midnight, and matinees will Le glven every Saturday and Sunday after- noon. It is the desire of Mr. Fischer to give to the public a class of musical en- tertainment that will be attractive to fam- ilies, and to offer to the public_a pro- gramme that may be enjoyed by the mwives and daughters of our nicest psople. Hence the matinees. —_————————— EDWARD C. DAILEY SUES FOR ABSOLUTE DIVORCE Charges His Wife With Cruelty and Intemperance—Other Unhappy Couples in Court. Edward C. Dailey, well known in down- town business circles, filed suit yesterday for divorce from his wife, Leolla M. Dalley. Mrs. Dailey has been residing at the Berkshire, and her husband charges that in adadition to cruelly treating him she is intemperate to such a degree that the court should grant him an absolute divorce. & Decrees of divorce on the ground of de- sertion were yesterday granted Carrie L.
