Lanktree, Who Cashed Disputed Claims, and R. R. Stedman Testify LANKTrREs DEFENDANT IN FIRST OF THE ENQUIRER CASES NOW BE ! COURT HIS FRI D, THE ASSESSOR; THE MAN WHO CASHED 1 CLAIMS, AND THE ATTORNEYS FOR THE DEFENSE. NG HEARD IN THE OAKLAND POLICE THE ALLEGED FRAUDULENT AKLAND, July 8.—The first of the so-called Enquirer cases made its | appearance in court to-day, when the preliminary hearing of G. B. Daniels, the president and gen- eral manager of the newspaper, upon a charge of entering into a conspiracy to defraud the county was begun. The scene was transferred from the Courthouse and county buildings, where these cases have been hanging before the Grand Jury, to he Police Court of the city of Oakland, Police Judge Mortimer Smith sitting. The three other cases, those of Dalton, Oakes and Stedman, are now pending before the Superior Court, where they will all come to trial during the present month. The Danlels case, having escaped the Grand Jury, found its way into the Police Court by the way of a complaint sworn to by Russel R. Stedman, and it was this hear- ing that occupied the attention of the | court and a large number of attorneys and politiclans for the entire day, and which bids fair to occupy the same atten- tion for several days to come. This case promises to be long drawn out because of the extremely technical fight that is being made by the defense. During the morning session there was hardly a question asked by the prosecu- tion that did not meet with an objection on the part of the defense, and (he argu- ments that followed these objections oc- cupied so much time that when the case finally adjourned for the evening the prosecution had hardly reached the in- teresting portion of the case. PUBLIC IS INTERESTED. The public of Oakland seemed very gen- business manager of the Enquirier, drift- ed up to the City Hall to see his enemy, G. B. Danlels, on the rack. I shall probably devote myself to the business of being & witness for the next two months. July and August are bad ‘months for advertis- ing, and having been retired from the Enquirer, 1 shall be most largely employed as a witness in the various cases that are set for trial dur- ing this month and August. 1 will have to appear In this case, and then the Dalton case comes up Thursday, and the Oakes case on the Tuesday following and the Stedman case on the Tuesday following that. I guess that I will have all that I can attend to for awhile There were no preliminary statements, no skirmishing, no motions, nothing but a direct plunge into the case by District Attorney Allen. He first called Deputy County Auditor Myron A. Whidden, who identified the claims upon which the $1500 in_question was secured. Then J. B. Lanktree, the man who cash- ed the claims, Lanktree didn't know very much and what he did know he told in such a low voice that there were repeated calls for | | i | | | the only thing that Lankiree was sure of was that he had cashed the orders, though he did not like to handle such large claims. He identified the claims and the checks with which he had paid them and was sure that the signatures of Oakes were genuine, but he did not know about Danfels’ writing. Then came the cross-examination of Lanktree, durlnf which Charles E. 8nook devsloped the line of defense that is to be adopted by Mr. Danlels and which will probably extend to the cases of Dalton and Oakes. Snook wanted to know from Lanktree if Stedman had not originally told him not to file the bills at once, be- cause the books could not be made for a lly interested in the p dings, f T irough the long and weary fre of | few weeks, and then he wanted to know if objections and arguments upon t{:e objec- | Lanktree did not know that there was delay over the making of the books be- cause the State Board of Equalization had changed the form and the printers had to wait for the new copy. Of course, Lank- tree did not know anything about those things, but this developed the line of de- fense, which will be that the printers could not make the books for some time, because they could not get the new form. SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE. This was more fully developed in the cross-examination of Thomas M. Robin- son, Mr. Dalton’s chief deputy. Mr. Rob- inson sald flatly that the new books had never been delivered or furnished upon those claims. He explained, upon his cross-examination, that the form of the books had been changed, and that he se- cured the new form from the State Board of Equalization and had given it to Sted- man. The second portion of the defense then developed, and it became evident that Danlels and Dalton were going to claim that either Stedman or Hadley had can- celed the order for the books without the knowledge of Daniels or Dalton, and that neither of the principal defendants knew that this had been done, but supposed that the books had been made according to_the original agreement. ‘When this developed District Attorney ‘Allen_brought out in his examination of Mr. Robinson that the change in form of the books was made not later than the middle of September of last yvear and that up to the present time no books had been delivered. Then came Stedman, who declared that tions the lobby hung upon every word of witness, attorney or court. There were politicians in plenty, attorneys in multi- tude and general citizens in great va- riety. G. B. Danlels appeared with his friend Henry P. Dalton, and both_sat | close together during the entire day. They were flanked by their attorneys, Charles E. Snook and William- Lair Hill. Back of these came a battalion of deputies of the | County Assessor and employes of the Oakland Enquirer, the newspaper em- ployes supporting the editor and the dep- uties supporting their chief. Emil Nusbaumer, the man who said he was going tb be the complaining witness, but who repented at the last moment, did not appear at the hearing until the afternoon, and then only for a moment. He stepped inside of the door, gazed about the room with a smile of gratifica- tion and then disappeared down the street, and left the case to care for itself. W. W. Foote, who was to have prosecuted Dan’ jels, but repented, as did Nusbaumer, ap- peared in court during the afternoon and then disappeared with Nusbaumer. Only M. C. Chapman remains, as he announced during the day, ‘to represent Nus- baumer.” Mr. Chapman assisted District Attorney Allen in the prosecution of the case, but he had very little to do, for the District Attorney had Bis case very care- fully planned and he went about present- ing it id a very systematic manner. HADLEY GAZES INTO FUTURE. Then there were others in: the court- room with more or less interest in the case. M. de L. Hadley, until yesterday Hadley said: | had an uneasy session. | him to talk so he could be heard. About | | he had entered the original order on the books of the Enquirer himself, and that the second order for the new form of book was given by Daniels to A. J. Read, the foreman of“the job department, by Daniels in his presence. Stedman was the most important witness of the day, and told his story of the events very much as follows: STEDMAN TELLS HIS STORY. I was called Into the private office on the first floor of the Enquirer office by Mr. Dan- | iels. Daniels asked me to go to Henry P. Dal. ton’s office, as Mr. Dalton had some bills that | he wantea to have discounted. Daniels said, | Oakes owes him money, or | money, 1 don’t knéw which and T don't care, as long as we get the business.”” I went to Dal- raom and explained the bills to me and said that he wanted to discount the claims. They were made out in one bill. T told him that it | would be better to make out the claims in two bilis, for it would be easier to handle them. He sald, “All right, you make out the bills, I did it and then got the rubber stamp, with name. I told him that he had better allow some time for making the books, and he sald, “Put in any date you please.”” After I h made out the bills I took them over to Lank- tree's office. He sald that he did not like to handle them because of their size, but he finally drew two checks for them. I took one check over to the courthouse and gave it to Mr. Rup- pricht, one of Mr. Dalton’s deputies. one I carried around to Mr. Danlels, who took it. | . Then M. C. Chapman took a hand in or- | der to bring out the knowledge that Mr. man declared that Daniels was the head of all departments of the paper, and that he had full knowledge of all stages of this transagtion. Stedman then said that he had entered the original order in the books of the Enquirer, had told Mr. Read about it, had made out the tags, and had then gone to Mr. Dalton's office to get the copy for the printers, when one of Mr. Dalton’s deputles said: “More books? We don’'t need any more, ‘We have got all we can use.” - “I move that be stricken out,” Charles E. Snook hastily. volunteer testimony.” Then the order tag for the work was produced and identified by Stedman. “That is the tag that was stolen by Hadley,” sald Mr. Snook. “It wasn't stolen by Hadley; it given to him by me,"” retorted Stedma MIDNIGHT MEETING. “I know that the order was changed,” continued Stedman, ‘because Danfels came into the office while I was there and told Read that he had another order to take the place of the one I had brought o Stedman then told of a midnight meet- ing that he had had with Mr. Daniels and Charles E.

I replied, “I have been shown that I might get mixed up in this affair and I had to do it to protect my- et He said that he wanted to see me, and we fixed 10 o'clock that evening as the time. I was late and did not get home until later. He came out to my house at about 11:30 that night with Mr. Snook and talked for over an hour.

This fact is demonstrat- ed by allusions which were recently made to it in highly complimentary terms by Dr. Alfred C. Haddon of Cambridge Uni- versity and Dr. Frederick W. Putnam of | Harvard. In his presidential address at a recent meeting of the Anthropological Institute | of Great Britain, Dr. Haddon, who made a personal investigation of the anthro pological department of the university last fall, paid a high compliment to Its work and future aims. He said: July 8.—The department | of anthropology at the University of Cali- | | made labor unnecessary. We may look forward in the immediate fu- ture to the establishment of a really important museum on the Pacific Coast, which, being un- der the jurisdiction of the University of Cali- fornia, will be the center of extended anthropo- logicai research and instruction.

The treasure is estimated to be worth $10,000, and the Public Administra- tor is going to prospect the hillsides for its burial place. Gilmore was a peculiar Individual. He toiled as a laborer day by day, although secure from want.

He had performed an act of heroism at the battle of Fredericksburg and been seriously injured, but he never applied for a pension until twq years ago.
