ELDOM has there been enacted in a Court in San Francisco as dramatic a scene as was that of yesterday afternoon, when the negro emplcye of John M. Chretien, the notorious o ® lawyer, wae called into court and made to sign the name of John Sullivan, the purported heir to the estate of a man who had died in this city. The negro took his place at the & * clerk’s desk and, surrounded by eager and expectant lawyers, wrote the name of John Sullivan five times. Tha2 signature which he placed upon the paper was, as far as a layman ¢ could observe, identical with the signaturs upon a receipt which Abraham Ruef, the attorney for the Public Administrator, accepted as the acknowledgment of the heir of Joseph Sullivan that he had received his brother’s estate in fuil. Later in the day the negro confessed to the District Attorney, the Chief of Detectives and two attorneys representing Judge 4 o Troutt, that he had actually signed the receipt which is in the possession/>f Attorney Ruef.

Chretien, the notorious lawyer, who was assisted by others as un- serupulous as himself and who shared his jll-gotten gains. Chretien hatched his plot upon the un- protected dead with Fred Haasted, who isx known as “Young Dutchy,” in the saloon of Rome Harris at 20 Ellis street in this city. Many of the conferences of the conspirators were held in this saloon and out of these conferences came the production of a bogus heir in the person of Charles Latner to represent John Sullivan, supposedly the brother of Joseph Sullivan, a tailor, who died in this city on May 5, 1899. Latner was a follower of the races and unscrup commission which might bring him money.

After the conspiracy had reached successful conclusion snd Latner had been xent post haste out of town, the leading schemers rested in false security. Latner returned and levied blackmail upon them, and one afternoon in the saloon of Ortion & Gerhardt, on the momthwest corner of O'Farrell and Powell streets, he, Chretien and “Young Dutchy™ engaged In a vngdy war over Latner's demands for more money. The money was paid. Another ticket was purchased for the bogus heir and he made his way out of the State. This in outline is the story of the part Chretien played in this shameless conspiracy.
