When the hearing of the c was re- | the first witness called by the defense was Mrs. the landlady of the house 237 Golden Gate avenue, Mrs. Oakes testified that Anderson had resided in her house for some months and that the De Bretteville family constantly called there to sce the defendant, and that she had orders from him not to ad- mit them on any occasion. The evidence of Mrs. Oakes was given for the purpose of contradicting the plaintiff that nei ez the #he nor her relatives had *“run after” defendant. Plaintiff Again Testifies. The defense then introduced the judg- ment roll of the divorce proceedings by which Anderson’s -wife was separated from her spous Gus de Bretteville told how at the CIiff House the defendant had ordered cock- tails for an entire party and consumed those ordered for the ladies, including the plaintiff. Alma de Bretteville was called to rebut the testimony given by Anderson. The young lady was dressed in a blue tailor- made gown and wore a black hat with ostrich plumes, and she made a good im- pression with the jury and the spectators who filled the courtroom. The plaintiff denied that she had ever asked Anderson for money to buy an opera cloak or any other article of wear- ing apparel. Ske denied that he had ever given her $60 as part payment for a cloak or that he had given her money for music leseons or tuition in painting. “I paid for my own lessons,” said Alma, Glor Ve years ‘before I ever set eyes upon, “Dld Anderwu ever give you any | how on-one occasion Anderson had taken er to get ice cream soda and he did not| | ihe | havirg taken that liberty with the mil- TRIED AND WON, AND OTHERS. money,” asked her attorney, “or did you ever have any of his money in your pos- session?” The witness, then stated that on one oc- sion Anderson had placed her on a cable r and that he gave the conductor $5 for he payment of the fare. “The conductor gave me the change,” said Alma, “‘and that night when Ander- son called at the house 1 returned the money to him and told him that 1 was not in the habit of accepting money from | gertlemen.” Jd vou ever ask im for diamond rings or any other presents?’ asked At- torsiey Collins.

Miss de Bretteville told of the occasion when she went to the grand operal with Anderson. She declared that she had not requested him to purchase tickets for the appearance of Grau's lyric stars, but that gay Charley, fresh from the Kion- dike, desired to see his name in the news- papers as being “among those present.”” “He wanted to go to the opera,” sald the plaintiff, “and he hired a dress suit. He went down town to buy two seats, but he came back and told me that he cculd not secure two_ seats, so he had purchased an entire box. Rather than have the seats not used, I asked him to invite my family.” The plaintiff then denled that she had requested Anderson to_buy her a riding 1bit or a horse or ahy diamond rings, | the defendant had claimed. She Refused Many Presents. “I refused many presents from him,” sald Alma, as shé looked with scorn at change with him.

Attorney Collins made the opening ar- gument for the plaintiff, being followed by Attorneys Barnes and Farquar for the defendant. Collins made the final speech to the jury and Judge Keérrigan then read his legal instructions. e\llornt‘y Collins denuunrmi Anderson as a “moral viver” and a ‘“villain of the deepest dye” and that he was not worthy of being called a man. He scored An- derson as a trifler and accused the Klon- diker of having not only lacerated the heart and affections of Miss Alma de Bretteville, but of coming into court and besmirching her character.. The attorney argued that the evidence in the case showed that Anderson had engaged him- self to marry Alma and had showered presents on her and then cast her aside. He declared that the record in the divorce suit of Anderson proved the mining man to be a wrecker of feminine happiness and that he ought to be taught that American women were sacred from his pollution and touch. He asked that the jury vindicate the character of Miss de Bretteville and return a verdict in her favor. Attorney re- Farquar for the defense quot- ed a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. in which the writer declared that no pure and true woman would rush into a court of law and seek monetary baim from the man who had violated his pledge of mar- riage. Farquar argued that his client was a generous man, who had lived in the wilds of the Arctic, and that.he had sim- ply shown attention to Miss de Brette- ville and scattered his money in a man- ner usual to men who made a fortune by a lucky stroke. Eloguent Plea by Barnes. Attorney Barnes made an elogquent plea for the defendant. He declared that real love and real Sorrow were not merchan- dise to be brought into court and ap- praised at a monetary valuc. He quoted Miiton and Byron, and recited lines about ‘“‘gay Lotharios” and “Squires of Dames,"” and told of the ‘nods and becks and wreathed smiles” that the blind poet of England made {mmortal in describing the communication of loving hearts, .“Look at this beautiful girl," said Barnes, “and then look at this little man | order of court made in July, | use of all lawful meéans “to obtaln for FAVORS LAYING PRIVATE GABLE Resolutions Are Passed by the'Merchants’ Ex- : change to That End. Service With the Islands Is Deemed of Pressing Imgortance. The directors of the Merchants’ Ex- change of San Francisco have adopted resolutions to be forwarded to the Sen- ators and Representatives in Congress from the Pacific Coast advocating the private enterprise the right to construct a cable at its own expense” between the United States and Hawali and the Phil- ippine Islands. This action, so the di- rectors say, was brought about by the controversy in Congress over the matter of the construction of a Pacific Ocean cable. In the preamble to the resolu- tlons that have been adopted the follow- ing is set forth: That telegraphic communication, via the Pa- cific, with the Hawalian Islands and the Phil- ippines 1s @ Dpresent necessity, as messages have now to be sent almost around the world before they can reach the Philippines; also | that the Commercial Pacific Cable Company 15 having manufactured and is preparing to lay and operate a direct cable between the United | States and the islands named, the laying of | the cable to be without cost to the Govern- | ment; that the Government is to have prece- dence for its business, to fix the rates of tolls and to have the option of purchasing the cable at any time at an appralsed valuation. The resolutions requesting the aid of the Pacific Coast delegation in Congress is as follows: Therefore, the Merchants' Exchange, in | meeting assembled, desires to make known its deep concern that the project of a -Pacific ca- ble is in danger of being delayed, and takes this method of urging the United States Sen: tors and Reoresentatives from the Pactfic Coast to use all lawful means -to obtain for private enterprise the right to construct a cable at its own expense, and prevent any ob- structive legislation which can only result in indefinitely postponing a project of so vital interest to the Paclfic Coast, to all the United States and to its Insular pessessions. oo MRS. M. DANIELS SEEKS SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE Asks Court to Appoint Carl Mueller to Care for Property of “John Lowth. Mrs. Mary E. Daniels, widow of the late John Lowth, petitioned the Superior Court yesterday to appoint Carl Mueller ad- ministrator of the estate of her first hus- band. | Lowth died in 1883, leaving an estate of | considerable value. Thomas Breen and T. S. Brew were named in the will as ex- ecutors, and they served until their deaths, which occurred some time ago. Mrs. Daniels now claims that neither of the executors performed his duties. She says a pretended acocunt was filed in 1836 by Breen and Brew, showing a balance of $6 263 £5, which _has never been approved "i | the court. She also alleges that a sale a portion of the estate made by an 1886, has néver been ratified or made vaHMd. Mrs. Daniels says she has no desire to serve as administratrix df the estate, and asks the court to appoint Mueller, In order that the estate may be cleared up. POSOARED L S RS AR Listen to Pianola.
