MORE LITIGATION OVER THE SWEENEY ESTATE Attorney Jarrett Will File Other Suits in Opposition to the " Deeds. From present indications the legal com- plications over the estate of Thomas U.

Already three suits have been filed in the Superior Court to set | aside the deeds given by Sweeney to his nephew, Charles S. Brundage, shortly be- fore his death.

As an advertiseme Moore said, Foote was worth to the Sta.e ten times more than the exhibit. He con- sidered that, failing to obtain the privi- lege of a collhcll\e exhibit, the Commis- | sioners had done the right thing in estab- lishing such headquarters as they had. As to the reported revelry and carousals, [ Moore said he never saw anything of the kind. He described the place as being | as chaste as a preacher's study and even | had there been carousing, he said, would not hurt the State by shocking the morals of Paris, for Paris has no morals to shock. Had all tnree Commissioners gone on a tremendous debauch and re mained there, he said, hurt the State a bit in the eyes of Pars.

He admitted having money enough to buy drinks, and when pressed rm- information as to where he got it he aid he had soaked his subpera with the [clerk of the Western Hotel and had ob- | tained $250 on it. He told a lame story | of the fight between Foote and Truman | and declared that stoties he had previ- | ously told were not true. He denied that he had at any time had a conversation with Gaskill in which Gaskill told him that If he should be subpenaed to appear before the committee he should go to Foote and Foote would tell him what he should testify to. He denied that on the | train last night he had asked Older whether he should “support Foote or | ‘throw’ him.” and he denied a half hun- dred other things he has heretofore been talking freely of. The only interesting | thing he did say was that now and then there was a quiet little game going on in Gaskill's room, and he knew that Foote had lost 200 francs there one night. He added that Foote was “occasionally one of Mr. Gaskill's welcome guests.” | ~Older was then allowed to make a state- ment regarding his interview with Den- nis. He said: “Dennis called on me on Monday, and I asked him to go up to Sascramento to testify before the committee. He post- pcned his answer, and came back ggain in an hour with his brother, who told me it was not wise for Dennis to go up to testify, as he would make powerful evemies; 'but on my suggestion, the brother said Dennis might testify in re- sponse to a subpena. Yesterday a sub- pena came to the f‘il)’ for Dennis, and we came v) on the 8 o'clock train. On the way up Dennis asked me “What am I going to do? Shall T up- hold Foote, or shail I throw him down?> ™ “I told him he should tell the truth. Dennis sald if he testified to the truth Foote wou'd kill him, and I told him I didn’t think anything would happen to | him. T told him not to be a free witness and ramble on and tell a great deal more than he was questioned about, but to an- | swer any questions that were put to him. When I left him I advised him to go | straight to bed and not to drink any, and | when he left he said he would go on the stand and tell the truth.

Knowland, chairman | of the committee appointed by the lower house of the Legislature to investigate the San Francisco Police Department, ar- rived in the city last evening. The other four members of the committee will arrive here to-morrow night. They will, on their arrival, immediately hold a meeting at | the Grand Hotel. At this meeting the | committee will receive legal advice and will learn definitely how far it can go in the matter, and whether it can enforce the attendance of any persons whom It may be desired to have testify. Assemblyman Knpwland spoke freely last evening on the coming investigation. “There is no intention on the part of the committee,” he said,’ “to reguiate or in- terfere with San Francisco municipal afs fairs. We are down here to ascertain if | the gambling in Chinatown is as bad as | some people claim. At present we have | no knowledge of the evil. All the evidence { we have is merely hearsay.’ “When do you expect to begin your la- | bors Knowland was asked. ““The committee will all be down here by Monday night, and we will then hold a meeting. We have sought legal advice, and we will be instructed as to our rights. By Tuesday evening we ought to be ready to hear testimony. “If the State laws are adequate, then we will not try to make any new ones. We shall first try to find out if the State laws are enforced in regard to gambling. If they are not we will take steps to see that they are. On-the other hand, if we find that the police are powerless for lack of laws we will make new ones to stop the gambling evil. The members of the committee are free from any bias—in fact, none of the committee is influenced by any local conditions. To sum the matter up in a few words, I believe that we can- not interfere with the police, but I think that it is in our power to investigate to find out If any new laws are needed. I wish it understood, however, that we do not wish to interfere with the local gov- ernment. I believe that the police are will- h;" for us to investigate their department, d vul do all in their power to assist us. have seen in a San Francisco paper that we are only coming down here to draw extra pay. I wish to contradict this statement. We will receive the same pay as we would if we.remained in Sacra- mento. We have to pay our living ex- penses. We have brought down a clerk, a stenographer and a sergeant at arms. These men would be drawing salarfes if toey were in Sacramento, so the State will not be under any extra expense. 1 hope that we can mrrange to use a courtroom while we are holding the investigation, so that we can save this expense of rent, lt possible.
