B. Daniels, the Enquirer Publishing Company, rested for obtaining the mone in it b presic der for assessment books that were never delivered. 7 The movement of the people toward the court house was caused by the publica tion in /the morning papers that Nusbaumer had laid before D! ney Allen certain affidavits in ton and Daniels, together w for warrants for their arrest d of felony.. Emil Nusbaumer for District Attorney Alle if that official had decided oft he is hat client proved to be ley, a young real est Accempanying them was who appeared as | Nusbaumer for Cl Following these came another battalion | of less interested people, composed of County Expert John M. Sabin, Stegman, the member of the . siaft who accused his employer of bing the county of Alameda, membe both the city and county governments, | members of the Board of Super and unattached politicians ger | whatever the gravity of the charge and however much it might affect the integ- | rity of officials and the finances of the county, it seemed impossible to divor the charges from the political situation in | Oskland. No one seemed to know what to ex- pect. Even the accused seemed a little uncertain as to w was going to de- velop during the day. County A or Dalton had said that the matter was “up to his deputies,” and G. B. Da s did not remember the little transaction, though he was certain that if the order | had ever been given the books had beee delivered. George Oakes had sworn ths he had been given an order for the books which he had promptly turned over to | the Bnquirer and that when checks had been issued by J. B. Lanktree in payment for the work that he had indorsed one if not both of them over to G. B. Danlel The checks had been paid and the bills | for the work had been pald, those were two undisputed facts, but these were met with the affidavit of Russel R. Stedman | that he had delivered the order for the | work to the Bnquirer, but that the work | had never been done or delivered. More than that Stedman did not know. WITHHOLDS THE WARRANTS. Bo it left the matter up to the deputies | of County Assessor Dalton to produce | seventy-five working assessment rolls and thirty mortgage books which were repre- sented by the bills allowed the Super- visors and the two checks issued by I. B. Lanktree. If the books could be produced the case fell. If they could not be found explanations were due from the Assess- or's office and those to whom the order was given. The first assault was made upon the District Attorney’s office. Attorney Al- len declared that he would have to make an investigation before he could act. At this point Nusbaumer’s client, Ross P. | Bromley, announced that he was ready to swear to the warrants against Dalton and Daniels. District Attorney Allen declined to accept his oath until there had been an investigation made by his own office. | Then Emil Nusbaumer produced. another man who was ready to make oath to the | complaints in the person of Russel R. | Stedman, the employe of the Enquirer who had made such a positive statement about the books never having been de- livered. But the District Attorney refused | to_act. | From there the interest moved to the | Aseessor's office and Bromley, accom- | fed by his two attorneys, and County ESpert John M. abin, made an effors to find Assessor Dalton. The Assessor was out but had left word that he would be back at noon time. A demand was made upon the deputies for the seventy-five books covered by the Oakes-Enquirer order, and the present set | of fifty-nine working assessment books | was pointed out. An investigation of the seccounts in the County Expert's office showed that on October 3, 1901, a bill for exactly fifty-nine such books had been paid. This disposed of that set of books and showed that an order for fifty-nine books had been given and filled six weeks subsequent to the Oakes-Enquirer order which was given August 19. At this point the deputies referred the matter to their absent chief. and it being nearly noon time the battalion of inter- | lunch tables. Dalton telephoned to the District Attorney’s office that he would be present at 1:30 o’clock. There was another demand for the books covered by the Oakes-Enquirer order af- ter lunch, and then Chief Deputy Thomas M. Robinson showed the way to a vault in the cellar and uncovered fifty-eight working assessment rolls, being seventeen short of the number called for in the dis- uted order. No mortgage books at all were found, making the number of books short of the original order, forty-seven. Russel R, Stedman declared that those books had been made by the Enquirer but that they were old stock that had been in the vault for years, and that they were not the books called for in the order he | been, and probably etill is, the trusted political | whenever elther or both of them has been en- gaged In any nefarious attempts against pec delivered to Oakes and which and Daniels had turned over to him have placed with the Enquirer. When the Court house closed for the day sessor Dalton and his deputies were | ring that these fifty-eight books rep- the unused portion of the Oakes- Enquirer order for 105 books. Russel R. Stedman was declaring that they were no part of that order.

There was a general sultry feeling in the r as if there was impending an erup- of a political Pelee. & the day G. B. Danlels priated in wn paper the following statement of position, which he gave out’as official imself: sbaumer allegations of a County, I have only If any fraud has been committed bsolutely” nothing about it, and all connection that the Enquirer has had with the unty will be found in the books of account in uirer office. tedman has been a trusted employe of the Enquirer. and if he has in any way by his acts Involved his emplovers he has, of course, done so with malice and probably for a consld- eration. At any rate I shall do everything in my power to bring all the facts in the case to ublic notice, feeling ~absolutely sure that there has been no fraud committed tbat will in any way reflect upon the Enquirer or myseif. It will be noticed, perhaps, that Judge Nus- baumer has fathered these charges. It will also be remembered that Judge Nusbaumer has agent of the Contra ta Water Company. The quirer has always taken occasion to sbow up Nusbaumer and the water company the of Oakland. efore, 1 am glad to say, neither Nus- umer nor the water company lijkes the En- rer; and both would be very glad to see the discredited in the public mind. How- both Nusbaumer and the water company k n to the people of Oakland, and Nusbaumer’'s connection ever, aro well I rather think that with this affair ought to be notice enough to the Enquirer's friends and the public enerally that, if thero is anything crooked in the whole affair, it is not on the part of the Enquirer. Again let me say that so far as the En- quirer and myself are concerned, there is ab- solutely nothing in the charges made by Nus- baumer; that Stedman’s affidavit is absolutely false, €0 far as it imputes to me anything that at all smacks of any fraud or dishonesty: that I shall do all I can to unearth the whole mat- ter and punish the gullty parties; and that Nusbaumer and his water company masters cannot, in this or any other way, control or sllence the Enquirer in its defense of the peo- rle against the attempts (so far successtul) of the water company to rob the people of this city. G. B. DANIELS. DALTON GROWS IRATE. County Assessor Henry P. Dalton was content. with a general denial of the charges, but between denials he Inter- jected some editorial opinions about his political enemies and gave some very in- lfleallnfi testimony in regard to the way in which work 1s paid for by the county before it is even printed. He said: I'd like to know who is behind this. The whole thing is an infernal lie. . It is all put up by my political enemies, and I am going to find out Who the man I8 who is trylng to ruin me. It's another effort on the parf of the Conira’ Costa Water Company ‘and their attorneys. Nusbaumer is doing thi and becaiise he hates me. ISty Of course, I gave that order. I ga Mr, Oakes becase e had besn my friead.’ o course, ha could not fill the order himself, but he could give it to some one else and he might make a_little commiesion for himselt. As for the cashing of the order the law pro- vides that when an order for work the party who receives it can make ot & bill and it can be paid upon the indorsemient of the official glving the order that the ex- penditure has been authorized. Following {he usual custom and the law I indorsed upon those bills the fact that 1 had authorlzed the expenditure. It is not my business to see that the order is delivered, and the law does mot require that the order shall be delivered befors the bills are passed. It is the work of my deputies to see that books are delivered and to Teceipt therefor. I have no connection. with that and I am assured that these books ‘were delivered. * ‘We have found most of the books a.n]t; IlY‘;“EVE the others trated by to-morrow. m! usbaumer was just as tic the other way. He said: “reny I am told that these books that they have found in an old vault are old stock, and I be. lieve it. T don’t belleve that they are part of the 105 books ordered at that time, and I don't believe that that order of books was ever filled. 1 told the District Attorney that they would try and ring in some old stock on us, and they have done so.

The usual number used 18 sixty—why did they order sev- enty-five from Oakes?

They are ready to accuse other people of doing things that they are doing themselves. STEDMAN’S EXPLANATION. Russel R. Stedman, whose afdavit is the most sensational,’ makes the flat as- sertion that the books found are not part of the order given Oakes. The position of Stedman is the most peculiar in the af- fair. Stedman has been connected with the Enquirer for years, long before Dan- fels assumed control, and he has always attended to the county printing and ad- vertising and political work for the paper. He continued in this department “when Danlels assumed control, and now he ap- pears as the maker of an affidavit charg- ing his emplover with felony. This is Stedman’s statement to-day: The books found in that vault are not part of those covered by the order given Oakes, They are some previous order that was put away in the vault so that another order for printing could be placed. know that the Oakes order was never printed for this reason: I took the order for the work and turned it into the Enquirer's job department. There was never any demand made for copy, and when 1 wanted to get copy upon which the men could work I was told that tbat would be attended to and saw at once that there was no intention of ever mak- ing the books. I know that the books were never made or delivered. As for the reason why I made that atfidavit, 1 did it so that I might keep out of a nasty mess. On Saturday Nusbaumer demanded to know what I knew about the matter. I saw that he had all of the facts and in order to show that I was an innocent party to the deal I made the.affidavit. I have not seen Mr. Daniels to-dav, but I believe that I am still connected with the Enquirer. . B. Daniels had little to add outsids of jhis printed statement: 'his is another water company job. As for Stedman, I don't know why he made that affl- davit unless he was bought. I don't know whether he is still connected with the paper or not, for he did not report at the office this morning. M. C. Chapman outlined his connection with the case in this wise: 1 zppear as attorney for Mr. Bromley. My client stands ready to swear to complaints if it | 18 proven that the men are guilty, but it has Dot yet been sufficlently proven in our minds. It a prosecution arises I shall assist in the prosecution and will recetve a fee for so doing. Joseph B. Lanktree took this very prac- tical stand: I diecounted tbat warrant, but don’t think that I made enough out of if. Look how long I had to wait for my momey. I always was easy. All that I know is that Mr. Oakes had a properly - authenticated claim agalnst the county and I advanced him the money. don't‘know whether any books were delivered or not. And so the matter stands pendin - ther investigation. PR e QWWWW%WW. HOLY REDEEMER CHURCH SHOW GREAT SUCCESS Alhambra Theater Is Packed by Pa- rishioners and Friends of Rev. Father McQuaide. The Alhambra Theater was packed to the doors last night, the occasion being the entertainment given to help raise the debt from the Church of the Holy Re- deemer. The sacred edifice was erected less than a year ago through the efforts of the pastor, the Rev. J. P. McQuaide, and last night's receipts went far in the good cause. The first part of the programme was in the hands of the members of the Olympic Club. Messrs. Otto Retter, George Schlet- ter and others gave exhibitions of ath- letics. Some boxing bouts were also given and Jimmy Britt appeared on the stage for a moment. This was followed by A contralto solo by Miss Lilian J. Wilson, which was warmly received. The Elks’ %artet rendered several selections. Harry ‘ood Brown, the popular tenor, just from New York, and William Ogelvie also sang and all were loudly applauded. Miss Nel- e B. Waters made a big hit with her sleighbell act, which was equal to a pre fessional vaudeville stunt, and Charles Reynolds, the clever sleight-of-hand per- former, Kept the audience mystified for a time. ‘The programme closed with the sketch, “A Lovely Party,” produced by Miss Ida Lee Davis and Alfred I. McKin- non. They kept the house in a continual roar. The entertalnment was one of the best of its kind ever given in this city, and Father McQualde's friends wish him to repeat it, promising another packed house. —_—— Wants His Letters Back.
