THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1901. R CLARK ALLEGES WAS SWINDLED MAYOR GEORGE H. CLARK OF SAC NENT MEN OF HAVING VALUABLE OIL STOCK. DEFRAUDED HIM OUT OF HIS SHARE OF 3 RAMENTO, WHO ACCUSES PROMI- — SACRAMENTO, Jan. 23.—A suit was filed in the Superior Court this | afternoon by Mayor George H. Clark | against D. W. Carmichael, William T. Sesnon, James L. Gillis, J. B. Wright, W. E. Knowles, A. J. Samuel, B. F. Por- | ter, the Sacramento Land and Develop- | ment Company and theSacramento Oil | Company. Charges of (:*d and conceal- | ment of facts are freely alleged by Mayor | Clark against the dgfendants. Owing to | the prominence of 'the parties involved | the suit has produced a decided sensation. J. B. Wright, one af the defendants, is | superint sramento division of the So ; 4. L. Gillls, an- is State Librarian; D. another defendant, was y Treasurer of Sacramento and is a leading Democ politician; W. Sesnom, another defendant, was former! k of San F isco, and at | secretary of the Railroad Com- B. F. Porter, another defend- her-in-law of Sesnoj and wealthy resident of Santa Cruz County while W. E. Knowles and A. J. Samuel are oll-land dealers at Bakersfield. A suit making allegations identical with | usiness partner of | once issued tem- porary restraining orders as prayed for and directed the defendants to appear in his court February 8 and show cause why the order should not be made permanent. The complaint alleges that Clark, Ses- non and Samuel in the summer of 1899 entered into an arrangement to purchase ofl lands, and shortly thereafter found 160 acres in Kern County belonging to the Berry Oil and Devélopment Comfany which could be purchased for $240.- An agreement was made to purchase the land at that price and Clark paid 3500 on ac- count. It was then determined to take in other persons. Accordingly Carmich- ael, Wright, Knowles, Gillis and Porter associated themselves with Ciark, Sesnon and Samuel. The land was bought by all, each con- tributing a pro rata of the sum. It was agreed that the land should be held and In further- ance of the purposes two companies —the | SBacramento Land and Development Com . pany and the Sacramento Oil Company— were organized and forty acres of land were conveyed to the BSacramento Oil Company and the remaining one-twen- tieth to the Sacramento Oil and Develop- | ment Company. It is alleged that the | partners held all the stock—9000 shares— | Developnient Company and 36,000 shares out of the 50,000 in the Sacramento Oil Comipany, the re- | maining 14,000 in the latter being held by the company for sale in order to develop | the property. Carmichael was selected at Clark's request as manager and secretary and hlad supervision of the work of boring | for oil. y The complaint charges that when it be- eame apparent that the land contained ofl Sesnon and Carmichael concealed from | Clark all knowledge of the true situation, | and in order to obtain Clark’s stock for themselves and the other defendants they began a systematic course of misrepreser- | tation.

But she followed him out and, calling her companions, proceeded to give the tional | time, the complaint avers, Carmichael had | reported to Clark that the land was of but little value, and did not contain oll, | and that there was no hope of finding any, but that because of the discovery of ol in Kern County a few months before, and in consequence of the demand thus cre- ated for land, it might be possible for the parties to sell the land at $100 per acre, and that a sale ought to be made at that price, as no greater could be obtained. Ciark alleages that on January 10, 1900, three days after the discovery of oil, Car- michael and Sesnon, knowing that oil had nd Wright, Gillis and other s,’also having notice of the' dis- went to Clark and A. P. Booth répresented that a purchaser had and been found for the land for $100 per acre, and that a sale had better be made at once, for there no prospect of dis- covering ofl, and all parties had agre to sell for that figure, and were in fact about to do so. Thereug, plaintiff says, he indorsed his certificates of stock and delivered the same to Carmichael, but plaintiff states that he entations made to him were f re made for the purpose of def: that all the defendants kn. nd was valuable and all acted the effort to obtain for * that the together | themselves the stock of Clark and Booth. On January 13, 1900, Carmichael and Ses- non brought to Clark and Booth $3554 45, representing that the land had been sold for §100 per acre and that the money thus paid Clark and Booth was their share— two-ninths—of the purchase price. Clark further charges that the sale was a mere pretense and a fraud; that no sale t none of or desired the parties had intended to s to do so and that no negotiations werc ever pending for a sale. Plaintiff alleges that the forty acres of land belonging to the Sacramento Oil Company upon ngc oll had been struck were then worth $200,- 009, and the remaining 120 acres belongin to the Sacramento Land and Developmen Company were worth $480,000. Clark further alleges that after he delivered his stock to Carmichael and Sesnon it was divided among the seven defendants and that the money paid to him was furnished by them. On October 81, 1900, the Sacramento Land and Development Company conveyed to | Knowles seventeen acres and a fraction of the 120 acres and at the same time deeded to Wright, Gillis and Carmichael fifty-two acres and to Samuel the same number conveyed to Knowles. Clark charges that such deeds were given in consideration of the surrender to the com- pany by-the grantees of the stock that they held and that the deeds wefe made to hinder and obstruct him in the recov- ery of his stock. Finally plaintiffideclares that since he gave up his stock to Car- michael and Sesnon the Sacramento Oil Company, which owns the forty acres where oil was struck, had taken out at least 60,000 barrels of ofl; that such land is now producing and will continue to produce large quantities of oil; that de: fendants had on hand several thousanf barrels and that they will dispose of it unless the court intervenes. Clark and Boath ask that they be fully reinstated as stockholders, affirming their willing: ness to pay back the money given them by the seven defendants, and they also ask that the court resirain the defendants from disposing of the stock In such a way was to shut them out of their rights. L o e e e e S S R Y ) MADE PAUPERS BY A SWINDLE | Aged Couple Tell a Pitiful Story in Court at San Jose. IR L Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Jan. 23 —The pitiful story of a “gold brick” swindle which has ren- dered almost destitute Silas Shirley and his wife. who are both nearly four score years old, was related in Judge Hyland's court to-day. The case is that of Shirley against Thomas H. White and W. Lair Hill to recover possession of real estate worth $18,000, a few miles north of this city. Hill recently foreclosed a mortgage on the place, and the suit is brought to have It set aside. In 1895 Shirley went to San Franecisco 0 see about borrowing $6000 to pay off a mortgage on his ranch. On the train he met Thomas White. The latter engaged the old man in conversation. First re- ous_topics were touched upon, en White arifted on to finance. He tn: quired after Shiriey’s financial standing, and the latter told him of his fine farm, and how he was endeavoring to borrow v to pay 36000 standing geainst it. ‘White is alleged to have Meclared to Shirley that he was duu the man Shirley was- looking for, and it must have been the divine spirit that threw him in his way. He fold Shirley that a few j before, while he and his brother, C. M. White, were fishing In Oregon, they dis- covered an immensely rich mine and he was nemotiating the sale of it to the Rothschilds for $11,000,00. Besides this, they had taken out all the gold they need. ed. White and his brother, whom Shir- ley’'s companion declared was very relig- jous, had decided to set apart the lion's share of their fortune to pay off the debts of Christians.

The only thing he asked was that Shirley make a trust deed of his property to him to show his gratitude. This Shirley agreed to do, but after the instrument had been made he learned that he had given White an absolute deed instead of a trust deed. After this White sent Shirley $1 and for- ty shares of the Red Rock Mining Com- pany, which he claimed were worth $10,- 000, Shirley found the stock was worth- less, and when he accused White the lat- ter Is said to have admitted that it had no_value. White transferred the property around, W. Lai and some of it he mo; to rd Hill, the well-known Ban Francisco law- yer. A year ago foreclosed. Now Shirley has brought suit go recover the property from Hill. The foregeing story was told by Shirley and his wife on the stand to-day. Judge Hyland decided that fraud wi perpetrated by White in obtaining title % the property and gave a decree clearing title so far as White was concerned. W, Lair Hill, the court said, appeared to be an innocent party. He had transferred his interest to the First National Bank of Oakland and the latter now holds the title as an innocent purchaser. Shirley’s attorneys intimate = other proceedings against Hill. Thomas H. White has disappeared and cannot be found. C. M. White died a year ago.

VANCOUVER, B. C., Jan. 23.—Franz Muller, the Danish salior who fell off the bowsprit of the Amcrican bark Abbie Palmer when that ship was in collision | with the Empress of Japan seven weeks ago off Cape Flatterv, is the cause of | contention just now belween the rival owners of the two vessels. Claims for damages in the collision have been put in by each of the vessels against the oth- er and Muller, who was lookout on the Abble Palmer,’is an important witness in the investigation that is to take place. Muller denies that he is favoring the Ca- nadian Pacific, which owns the Empress of Japan, but he has so far refused to have any sort of conference with American owners of the Palmer. After Muller jumped aboard the Em- press when the vessel stfick he was taken to Japan. He made scveral affidavits and informed United States “onsul Dudley to- day that he had seen and reported the Empress' lights tweniy minutes before the collision. At Hongkong Muller is said to have wished to return, while the offi- cers of the Empress wanted to pay him off, Muller then affected the bluff that statements he had sworn to were untrue and that he would come back to the in- vestigation in spite of everybody: so after much wrangling, Muller was brought back. He has made a cialm through Con- €ul Dudley for back wages due him from the Palmer. but refuses steadiastly to o to Seattle to talk the matter over with the Abbie Palmer people, who are much in need of him.
