Metson, according to the testimony adduced in the hearing of the Nome contempt cases before Commis- sioner Heacock, has figured in yarl- ous capacities since he visited the Nome country. First e became renowned as a gun fighter, then as a captain of detec- tives. Now comes young fiery Mr. Frost and with sorrow in his heart says thai he was told by one Carson that Metson bore the reputation in California as a Jury fixer. This Frost gave as testimony following Metson's declarations against him. Frost was all in a fume as he told how Carson, the detective employed by Metson and subsequently taken into his own service, represented two different conditions ot things. Frost insinuated that Metson was the deluded one, and that Frost was too ‘Wwise to give credence to the preposterous statements of Carson. Metson smiled at this testimony of the special examiner, and Pillsbury was anx- ious for the cross-examination to begin. He is now fairly started, and when the | morning session is finished to-day Frost will have passed through an ordeal. Met- son announced his unequivocal antipathy to C. A. 8. Frost on Thursday. The bat- tle is now between the *gun fighter,” chief of detectives and attorney, William Metson, and C. A. 8. Frost. The proceedings of yesterday befora Judge Heacock were divided between tor- rid arguments ! efore the Circuit Court o Appeals and the taking of Metson’s ani Frost’s testimony before Commissione. Heacock. Judge Noyes may go on the stand this morring. Go Before the Court. The warmest tilt between the attorneys } occurred yesterday morning, and the three Judges of the Circuit Court of Ap- peals were present at the hearing. The examination was proceeding slowly when word was sent to Judge McLaughlin thai the Circuit Court of Appeals desired his presence. Attorneys and all filed out of one room and into the other, and then the fun began. The Circuit Court of Appeals desired t> know when the testimony taking would come to an end. Judge McLaughlin coull not fix a date, and stated his many rea- sons for the slow pace at which the pro- ceedings were moving. Then Mr. Pills- bury, amicus curiae, was called upon for his statement. He cited the record as his | support in the charge that the respond- ents’ attorneys wasted ‘oceans of tima, and that the reason the case was drag- | ging so painfully was of this wearisome | disregard of expeditious examination. | When Pillsbuiy sat down McLaughlin was on his feet. He was bristling wita anger. “If this is Intended as a lecture,” h> said, “I shall tell Mr. Pillsbury now, ani | with all due respect to the court, that his language is certainly offensive. He says he is entirely disinterested in this case. | If he is the record will not bear him out. His manner and actions show more than a duty to the court. He has been over- zealous in this case and the record will show this.” After McLaughlin had finished Pills- bury called attention to 500 or more pages of needless objections, which he would | spondents. The heads of Judges Hawley. | Gilbert and Morrow came together, and | they ordered the attorneys to expedite | the taking of testimony and inform tha court Monday morning en they would be ready for a hearing. Metson on the Old Road. The first questions of the morning pro- ceedings were directed by the amicus cu- riae in the cross-examination of Metson | to the diversion of gold dust by McKen- | zie. Try as they would, Metson and his coworkers could secure nothing from Judge Noyes in the way of orders. “McKenzie could and did get everything he wanted,” said Metson, “‘and it was im- possible for us to get a ruling antagonis- tic to McKenzie. McKenzie was part them by jumpers’ title.”” On redirect examination, Judge Mec- Laughlin asked: . “Do you make a charge that McKenzie diverted?” “I told Alexander McKenzie to his teeth,” answered the witness, “that he went up there and tried to steal the whole I say yes under the guise of Later on Judge McLaughlin asked: “Did you ever offer or cause to be of- fered any money to ‘Judge Noyes?"” “No, sir,” said Metson decisively. McLaughlin then carried Metson over much of the ground that has been plowed and harrowed again and again. Metson's stery was as firmly gjven as on the for- mer occasion when he took the stand. The conclusion of the examination of directed toward the interest of Metson in the issuance of the writs. Pillsbury had asked the witness for all possible assist- ance in the securing of testimony and it was joyfully, willingly given. Frost Is Very Warm. After Metson came Frost. Attorney Herey took the helm. His first request to the witness was for a statement of facts about Carson’s report. “I am anxious, now that Mr. Metson has brought up the matter of these re- ports, to tell all about them,” said Frost, He then retold the story of the rumors about jury corruption, and declared that this was the reason for the employment of detectives. Frost said that Carson fooled Metson just the same as he did himself. The witness sald: ‘‘Mr. Carson came to me soon after he was employed by me and said Metson was an alleged lawyer; that he fixed juries, and that i3 what he did in California. I told him if that was so I wanted to get at the bottom of it. I told him to pursue his own methods. A little while after he told me Metson wanted to employ him in the jury business and by accepting the offer he would get some valuable infor- mation. He reported from time to time that Metson had men employed to inquire about the men who were to go on_the jury to see who could be used. My effort was to discover gcrsons who attempted to bribe jurors. never interested my- self in any way in any of the cases.” “Why did you refrain from stating this the other day?"”-interrogated Heney. ‘‘Mr. Heney, there has been much black- ening of character on hearsay in this case,” said Frost, “and I never would have told this if Metson had not taken Carson’s word as truth. - I wish Carson could be brought here.” The witness kept no coples of the re- orts, but placed them in a tin box in the istrict Attorney’s office. Attorneys at War. Then Amicus Curiae Pillsbury took up the cross-examination. He wanted to know when and with whom Frost com. municated about the reports of the d tectives. Frost was about to explain, when Pillsbury held him to his question. Judge McLaughlin jumped in and shid the witness had a right to explain. The ami. cus curiae thought this was unprofes. sional—the interruption—and he told Mc- Laughlin_so. “Now, Mr. Pillsbury, I don’t profess to have you lecture me on what is what and what is not professional!” shouted Mc- Laughli looking savagely at the amicus curiae, “and I warn you now to put an end“;u it ““Witness, said Pillsbury. ‘“‘Gentlemen,” sald Commissioner Hea- cock, ‘“‘there is no occasion for this dis- play of anger, and please refrain from it 1 dtl";e future.” The storm forthwith sub- sided. answer the question,” Breslauer Is Acquitted. The case of Lipman Breslauer, wool commission merchant, charged with fel- ony embezzlement on complaint of J. B.

An Indulgent Father-in-Law Sends Money to Help Defendant. e Superintendert Frank Leach of the Mint told a damaging story under oath yesterday in the United States District Court about Walter N. Dimmick, ex-chief clerk of the Mint, on trial for embezzling Government funds. On February 4, 1901, according to Super- intendent Leach. he called Dimmick into his office and :nformed him that he de- sired to count $1338 7 which Dimmick’'s books showed was in the chief clerk's of- fice in the safe. This money had been received by Dimmick from the Selby Smelting and Lead Works for bluestone, one of the by-products of the Mint, sold to the Selby Company. On the next morn- ing Dimmick came to Leach and sald: “Mr. Leach, for the first time in my life I have told you a lie, and I could nct sleep last night thinking over it,” Then he copfessed that he had used the money for his own purposes. He sald that he ‘would make it good—that he was the cus- todian of the mouey and had always pro- duced it when called upon to do so; that he was under bonds, and the Government would not lose a dollar. immick fol- lowed up this statement with what was virtually a plea for mercy, saying that he had been in debt for about $4000 and that he had paid up $2000 of that debt out of his earnings. “I told him,” continued Superintendent Leach, “‘that whatever his purpose might have been in using .ne money he had committed a criminal act. He told me then that he expected to receive $1500 from the sale of a life insurance policv on March 5. I tola him that I could not wait that long and that he would have to get the money immediately. He then said that he would write to his father-in- law for the money. He wrote, and a day or two later be showed me a telegram from his father-in-law stating that after he had received certain papers from Dim-' mick he would send the money. I said to him then that his ideas and mine with regard to propriety and integrity were so far apart that bhis relations with the Mint must cease, and that I would give him three or four months to look out for an- other situation. He finally made good the money on February 19.” Leach identified the seven receipts which form the basis of the indictment as being in the Handwriting of Dimmick. He testified further that Dimmick had sole charge of the sales of by-products to the Selby Smelting and Lead Com®> pany. After Ira T. Rlackwood, assistant cash- ier of Selby's, had also identified the re ceipted bills the court adjourned until Monday.

D. 8.” KILLS HIMSELF IN GOLDEN GATE PARK Unidentified 0ld Man Found Hang- ing by the Neck to Limb of a‘Tree. ’ Who is “J. D. 8.7 The body of an unidentified man about 60 years old, with the foregoing fnitials in his hat, was found yesterday morning hanging by the neck to a limb of a tree in Golden Gate Park at the intersection of Fifth avenue and McAllister street. The remains were evidently those of a laborer. The clothing was a cheap coat and pants of brown checked goods, a dotted vest of silk mixed goods, white cotton ‘shirt and collar and blue under- wear. The suicide had used a'common baling rope, one end of which he had wound twice around the limb of the tree and the other knotted around his neck. A pearl handled knife, a nickel watch with brass chain and a few dollars in sil- ver were found in the pockets of the clothing. On the vest lapel was a photo button containing his own portrait and that of three young men. Harry Ward, an engineer on the steamer Enterprise, called at the Morgue last night and stated he believed the body of the suicide to be that of 8. Jones, also a steamship engineer. Ward sald that Jones came to the coast from Philadel- phia some time ago to take a position ‘on the steamship Sonoma. After that vessel had made two trips to Sydney Jones was discharged, and the loss of work brought on despondency. Jones told Ward Sunday evening that he expected to kill himself. o e g To-Day’s News Letter. The editor of the News Letter in this week's number has advanced a project for building a remarkable memorial to the late President McKinley. The News Let- ter's plan is in many ways so unusual and yet so practical as to recommend itself to in€ prospective builders of the McKinley memorial. Arlentine Fennel has written about “‘Society Chefs and Their Favorite Recipes” and Betsy Bird's ‘““Mere Gossip’ is above par. The Looker On has gleaned a good story on the Mayor-elect—and many others for the matter of that. “A Fable for Tipplers” is the title of a poem contrfbuted by Wallace Irwin for this Week.

Charles Leager, a painter, while orna- menting some flower pots on the back porch of the residence of W. G. Johnson at 1293 Folsom street yesterday afternoon, lost his balance and fell a distance of fifty feet. Leager was standing on the verinda. rail when he fell backward into a sandlot, making a complete somer- sault in his descent. The fall stunned him and the people who went to his as- sistance at first thought him dead.

Henry Lamotte, a young gentleman on a pleasure tour from Germany, who has apartments at the Palace Hotel, fell into the hands of bunko men yesterday morn- ing, but fortunately escaped without part- ing with any of his coin. He arrived Thursday and yesterday morning went to the Bank of California and drew $200. He had also a letter of credit in his pocket for $2000. While walk- ing from the bank he was accosted by a well-dressed young man, who asked him to direct him to the Palace Hotel. He said he was the son of the vice presi- dent of the National Bank in New York and was a stranger in the city. They entered into conversation and the stranger .suggested to Lamotte that he should go and see the paintings in the Hopkins Art Institute and said he had a friend, a colonel, who would get them a permit. Lamotte was steered to 405 Geary street, where he was introduced to a ‘‘judge’” and three others. The colonel was not at home and the ‘judge” suggested a game of California poker. They started to play and Lamotte's friend waon, and suggested he should take a hand. La- motte at first decliffed but finally: was in- duced to play, his new-found friend giv- ing him money, as Lamotte declared he had no money with him. He won and he decided to go to the hotel and asx i{ the game was all right, telling the burko men that all his money was in his trunk. ‘When he reached the hotel he, was told to have nothing to do with the game and then he consulted a friend who advised him to notify the police. He went to po- lice headquarters and Policeman George Collins went with him to 405 Geary street. There they found Robert Tait, known as the “Sheeny Kid”; ‘“Judge” W. J. Franklin, alias Foster, and George H. Lawrence, all well-known bunko men. They were placed under arrest and taken | to the City Prison. Lamotte’s friend and another of the gang had disappeared.

At a meeting of the Park Commissioners held Thursday afternoon it was decided to improve the Japanese garden in Golden Gate Park. Lakes and small streams will be formed, walks will be laid and the gar- den will be further adorned with Japan- ese houses. The park superintendent suggested in his report that the museum building is in need of repairs. To make the necessary repairs the commissioners decided to ap- ropriate $2500. For the improvement of g’mnklln Square $3000 was set apart. Professor Gruber reported that the col- lection of curios in the park museum has recently received a valuable acquisition in the nature of a collection of Japanese fish and crabs. The collection was pre- sented by W. J. Sargent, a tourist. In answer to the park laborers’ petition for an increase of wages from $2 to $2 50 per day, the commissioners decided that there was not sufficient money in the park fund to permit an increase in the salary of all the laborers employed in the park. It was determined, however, tg grant the required increase in the case of all skilled laborers, such as teamsters and assistant gardeners. —————— CONFIDENCE OPERATOR UP FOR COUNTERFEITING Woodworth, Wanted in Los Angeles, Pleads Not Guilty of Having Plaster Molds. 0.
