B Ry Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oect. 31. Because Philip Kiernan, H. J. Waters | and Chris Thorpe were afraid they would | | be detained in a jury room all night, they voted guilty upon a verdict rendered against Willlam Day, accused of a hein- ous felony, believing the evidence did not warrant conviction. Further than that, these three jurors decided to make an af- fidavit that they took such action and hand it to Day's attorney. And when that attorney, Hugh Aldrich, presepted | the astonishing statement before Superior | Judge Greene to-day as the basis of his motion for a new trial in behalf of his | client, such a storm of judicial censure | broke upon these three jurors as has rare- 1y burst from the Alameda County Super- for Court { “It is a dirty bird that befouls its OWH‘ nest, ernly declared Judge Greene, his | face flushing, as he realized the import of the affidavit as Attorney Aldrich read it from the bar. ‘ And that saying,” continued his Honor, “may well and truly apply to jurors, who after taking their oath to try a case | fairly and impartially will, according to | | their own sworn statements, agree to a | | verdict of gutlty when in their own minds | | they are not satisfied of the defendant’s | i guilt. i Day had been calied into court this| morning for sentence, but Aldrich inter- | osed his motion. First he objected to the Jistrict Attorney’s action in examining | | witnesses. Then he threw his big bomb- shell in the shape of the following affi- davit: ! Phil Kiernan, P. C. Thorpe and H. J. Waters, ‘ each being duly sworn, depose and say that they and each of them were jurors sworn to try the case of the People of the State of Callfor- | nia vs. Willlam Day, In the Superfor Court of | Aldameda County; that said trial began upon September at 10 o'clock a. m., and that the taking of testimony was compieted on Septem- | ber 28 at about 10 o'clock a. m. After argu- | ments by counsel and charge of the court the jury, td which we and each of us were a part, | was placed In charge of the Sheriff and !m"ked‘ up at about 11 o'clock a. m. September 28. | ‘After due deliberation and an exchange of views a ballot was taken with the result of | eight for conviction and four for acquittal; | that numerous other ballots were taken, the | next to the last resulting in nine for conviction | and three for acquittal: that we, the afflants hereto, were the three jurors who voted for acquittal because we were not satisfied that the people had clearly made out the case against the defsndant, and that each of us are not now satisfied that the defendant was the man that was seen with the children upon Janu- ary 23 mear Fifth and Henry streets, and that €ach of us hereby aver that we and each of us | voted and assented to the verdict “guilty as charged”” only after we had notified the court that we could not agree upon a verdict: that we stated openly in the jury room that ‘we were Tiot satiefied as to the defendant's guilt; that geveral members urged the verdict as they could not stay during the night and all feared that the court intended keeping them. The affiants then agreed to a verdict “guilty as charged provided that the balance of the jury would acknowledge that we and each of us had £0 ftated that before we would vote for the | verdiet so0 rendered, and that we had so agreed that we three affiants should notify the attor- for the defendant and make affidavit to what had been the inducing cause for our vot- ing for the verdict as rendered, and the balance of the jury so agreed.

L A S Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 3L | Every scrap of old junk, disused and of the Contra is being dragged never utllized property Costa Water Company into the evidehce at the rates trial to plle up what will unqguestionably be an enormous total .valuation upon its plant. The water company's lawyers have gone into the minutest detalls of con- struction, even to the number of teams and the men employcd upon every inch of ground while they have dug up from the corporation’s records, not unburned, all sorts of property, movable and im- movable, upon which they propose to place their estimates of value. Attorney Hayne, for the city, has followed his antagonists so closely that he has a complete record of everything the corporation has so far claimed, the theory being that he proposes to show in the course of the trial the uselessness of | much of the property the company owns. The cross-examination of Engineer Hewson was concluded to-day. Out of It all wag brought one more record which has not been reduced to ashes. It is a complete map of the Contra Costa Water Company’'s watershed at San Leandro Lake. e reason it.is still in existence | wag shown by Hewson, who said he had made it for the private use of former President Henry Plerce. The map was delivered to Plerce since the cremation of the corporation’s books. This afternoon Attorney McCutcheon thought he saw a big opening in Haynes’ line and like a football back bucking the center the water company’s lawyer pro- posed to hurl into evidence all of the com- any’'s records of its pipe line holdings. ercmchnnn had the documents, but hs had not fairly started to smash into the record before Hayne was at him. And when Havne quotes law he does it in such a way that a court is bound to nearken. “Fhere i no rule of evidence in exis- tence by which those books can go in now,” declared the attorney emphatically, | and the court was compelled to accept that view. ‘As soon as that was settled FEngineer Hewson was withdrawn and Octave Le- nieux, who had been foreman of construc- tion at the San Leandro dam for several years during the early work on the res- put on the rack. Fereman Lenfeiix started to tell what he knew about the building of the dam and the dreary round of sluicing, puddle nits, tamping and excavating was renewed. The engineer experts all looked wise and took coplous notes. Finally McCutcheon looked at the clock and faid he would like to catch the train for San Francisco and the court accommodatingly adjourned untfl to-morrow. —_— OPERATIONS RESUMED AT MANY MINES Girls Employed at a Silk Mill Near Hazleton Strike for Uniform Wages.
