Hall, a Celebrated Gridiron Star During His Term at the University of California, and Miss Blanche A. Perkins of Oakland Is Set for August 6 AKLAND, July 9.—The date has been announced for the wedding of Percy W. Hall, the famous captain of the University of Cali- fornia football teams of '97 and | ’s8, ana Miss Blanche A. Perkins. The ceremony will occur on August 6 at the First Unitarian Church. The complete arrangements for the wedding have not been made, but Seth R. Talcott, a college chum of the groom, will be best man, while Mrs, George I Guerray will be matron of honor. The young couple will reside in this city. Percy W. Hall was for many years the idol of the gridiron field. He began play- ing football during his freshman year at the State University, and for his entire term of four years at that institution he was a member of the Blue and Gold team. During his second year at college | he was elected captain, and held that | place for a second term. He piloted the | team to victory once, and his long runs | on the gridiron have sent him down to history in many a football song. Mr. Hall graduated from college in 1899, little interest. Certain it is that the books were paid for and that they were never | delivered, and, furthermore, that all of the bills of the Enquirer against the coun- ty have been collected, and how tais con- aition of aftairs was to be met by those who are charged with so serious a crime has caused the public tongue to move con- | stantly upon its hinges. The defense is | going to be—Stedman. Dalton will admit giving the order for | 105 books to Oakes, as well as receiving | the 51500 from Oakes, which he will claim { was paid by Oakes to him as part settle- | ment for money loaned Oakes by Dalton. | All that has been stated about the dis- | counting of the bills and the transfer of the money from Lanktree to Dalton by way of Stedman and Daniels is to be ad- mitted. The failure to make the books according | to the order which was given and dis- counted by Lanktree is to be explained by the fact that the State Board of Equaliza- | tion changed the form of the books just | about the time that the order was given, | and for that reason the order was coun- ‘[ termanded by Dalton to Daniels and Sted- | man both. That orders to the amount of $1575 were ‘\xh’en and which orders were discounted | and the full amount finally collected from | the county treasury without the work be- | ing done ‘and without any restitution be- | ing made to the county treasury are all to be laid upon the shoulders of Stedman. | It is to be claimed that Dalton told Sted- man to have these orders canceled, and in order to fix matters with Lanktree, who | | misappropriation and em- | had advanced r two million dollars in river e money to discount these claims, that further orders that would equal or exceed this amount of $157 were to be given to Oakes and the Enquire - and that these orders were subsequently in the United | giyen by Dalton to Stedman. >t ov with and harbor im- , Ga., has been ome time take a diplom: when S atic phase in a rse in th s ssments in_the extra- resulted in Marion Er- Attorney Gen- arge of se. the case. he fact that the legal of Greene and Ga: gh g proceedings which he e been irregular and ille seen that before we can of Canada we ity of our pro- nt features to a nion Government as retained in advance of the extradition and whose as been feit at every turn as well ude, General called the matter of the State Department, is letter of transmittal: st in any country controlled nd laws and I respect- facts be laid before the ve of his Britannic Majesty in or- e matter may be Cealt with in an e with the high state standards of Brit- ice. understood that the Secretary of e will b the matter to the atten- tion of the British embassy at once.

These .orders, which were to be substi- tuted for the orders for seventy-five working rolls and thirty mortgage books, | consisted of .one order for fifty-nine plat book: which were made and delivered, and one order for sixty rolls for the pres ent year. This latter order comprises the books that are now in the possession of J. B. Lanktree, for which he holds claim, but for which the money has not yet been collected from the county. But there has been presented to the county of Alameda a claim for $1062, which covered these fifty-nine plat books. It was cut $118 by the Supervisors and the money therefor was. collected an paid into the Enguirer.

In this regard it | will be asserted that Dalton gave Sted- man an order for sixty rolls for the pres- | ent year; that this order was given to the Enquirer by Stedman as an original order; that the books were made; that Stedman prepared a claim for nearly $1000, which he got Thomas M. Robinson { to certify to; that this claim Stedman then discounted to B. Lanktree for | $800. It will then be asserted that neither the Enquirer nor Dalton nor any one connected with the paper ever received this money, and that in order to protect Lanktree and to still further help along the conspiracy between Stedman and | Hadley to injure Daniels and the paper, Stedman took the books away from the Enquirer office without the knowledge of any one and delivered them to Lanktree, in “whose possession they now are, and who- has not yet presented the claim to the county for payment. DANIELS’ DEFENSE. | This is the full and complete defense | that will be offered. In the case agalnst i Danlels it_will be claimed that he knew | nothing about the exact financial rela- tions between Dalton and Oakes which caused the $1500 to be turned over to Dal- ton; that he knew nothing about the wa in which Stedman was manipulating these orders in his own office; that he supposed | that the two substitute orders had been | entered as substitutes, and that he did not know that Stedman had collected the | bill for $1062 or that he had discounted | the second clajm for which Lanktree now | has the books. Dalton will claim that Stedman did not deliver the substitute orders as he (Dal- ton) gave them to him. The foundation for this defense was laid_to-day by Charles E. Snook, who conducted the cross-examination of Rus- sel R. Stedman, and during the afternoon, | in the course of some excited and excit- | ing remarks, Mr. Snook shook his finger at Stedman and said: “This man, the trusted employe of the paper, is responsible for it all.’ During the morning session Stedman was on the stand the greater part of the time. He continued his story of {he midnight conversation at his house when G. B. Daniels and Charles E. Snook went there in a hack to see him. The prin- cipal topic of that conversation that night seemed to be who brought the order for the fifty-nine plat books to the Enquirer office, Daniels claiming that Stedman had done_so ,and Stedman claiming that it was Daniels. The method pursued in col- lecting the money. for these books was also under discussicn, Stedman claiming the money, and Daniels claiming Stedman had done so upon his'own mo- tion. In this midnight conversation Sted- man_2lso claimed that he had submitted the bill in question to Dalton, who told him to have Robinson approve it. According to Stedman, the midnight talk consisted principally of an effort upon Daniels’ part to impress him with facts that would substantiate the de- fense that is outlined above, while Sted- man persisted that both Daniels and Dal- ton had full knowledge of the transaction in all its phases. Once_ Stedman said something about what he ‘‘supposed,” which caused At- terney Snook to remark: “If we were tried upon what Mr. Sted- man supposes we would all be in jail.” TAG WAS STOLEN. A. J. Read, the foreman .of the job de- partment of the Enquirer, was called to identify the orders, entries, tags, etc., counected with the various transactions. Read is one of the Enquirer employes who is standing in with Danlels, and he bubbled over in expressing his bellef that Stedman had “sold out.” When showed the office order tag that was iIntroduced at yesterday's proceedings, he said: “That tag was stolen from my desk. ‘When I read that afidavit I went down to the office to look through my desk and 1 found that this was gone.

When the boy | was finally pulled from the pool by Guy | Chamberlain the spark of life yet re- mained, but soon flickered out, despite all efforts at resuscitation. Young Brindle lived with his mother and five brothers at 604 Valdez street, Oakland. ~ His father died a few { weeks ago, leaving the six children, the eldest but 14, entirely dependent upon their mother. This morning Richard, in company with n, went to the canal to take Neither of swim. They had been in the water but a few minutes when the Brindle boy got beyond his depth and began to strangle. Ryan shouted for help and his cries at- tracted attention, but this was all. No one went to the drowning boy’s rescue { until Ryan made it plain that his com- panion was really in danger. Then Cham- | berlain * undressed, waded into the pool and dragged the limp body of the child upon the bank. A physician was sum- | moned and endeavored in vain to stay death’s hand. The remains were conveyed to the la- cal branch morgue, where an inquest will | be held to-morrow evening at 5:30 o’clock. | @ il @ | came evident td me that Stedman had | sold out’ “I object to his opinion,” shouted M. C! Chapman, “Well, I naturally formed the opinion hat he 'had sold’" v “Object!” cried Mr. Chapman. ‘I understood that he had"— ‘“We don’t care what you understood,” | said Mr. Chapman. Then Mr. Read settled down to tell | what he knew. He said that Stedman | had written the word *“kill” across the two orders which had never been filled, | and tkat it was upon Stedman’'s order | that he changed the original order for | seventy-five wurking rolls to fifty-nine plat books. Then Stedman came back to the stand | with a flat denial of this saying that he | had written the word “kill’” in the book | at the suggestion of Hadley in Febru- { ary of the present year, six months after | the order had been given. He declared { that he did not bring in the order ‘for the fifty-nine plat books, but that Dan- iels had done so, and that he had over- heard Daniels talking to Read about this crder. He also declared that when he wrote the word “kill” in the book the apparent substitution of the order for the fifty-nine plat books for the order for the seventy-five working rolls had not | been made, and that it had been made | subsequent to February of this year. | When Stedman came back to the court- room after the noonday recess he was turned over to Charles E. Snook for | cross-examination. Stedman suddenly { developed a bad memory and had a bad | time generally. He evidently expected an effort to tangle him up, and hc took | refuge behind a general laock of knowl- | eage of anything except the maln fea- | tures of the story. Every littl> while he | would wake up long enough to shoot | something exciting about the camp of the | enemy, but then he would lapse back into a general ‘‘I don’t remember” condition. Mr. Snook began laying the foundation for his defense by showing by Stedman { that he had the power to make out claims, sell them or collect them for the | Enquirer. All this he admitted, and then | he threw one of his surprises. “I don’t know any distinction between Mr. Dalton and the Enquirer,” he sald. “I have been instructed to discount claims by Mr. Daniels. I was instructed to discount these claims in question for | Mr. Dalton by Mr. Daniels. I lave dis- | counted other claims that were made out {in the name of the Enquirer and turned | the money over to Dalton, and the En- quirer would be paid when Daltoa turned the money over.” Then Mr. Snook wanted to know an- other instance of collecting Enquirer money and turning it over to %alton. and Stedman referred to a claim of $544 which he had so treated, and said that after- ward he received the money from Dalton and turned it over to the Enquirer, ‘When Mr. Snook persisted in this line of cross-questions Stedman gave his ver- | sion of the condition of the order for six- |ty books, which books are now in the pos- | session of J. B. Lanktree as security for advanced by him. “I sold the claim to Lanktree and Dal- ton got the money. I think Hadley has the claim now. He took it to protect his sister, who advanced the money. took the books to Lanktree’'s office to protect both Lanktree and Hadley."” Then came a severe cross-examination upon why Stedman had put in a claim for the fifty-nine plat books when that was a substitute order. Stedman ex- plained that the order was not at all similar to the unfilled order, either in amount or number of books. Then he said that Danlels had told him to put in tne bill, but he afterward changed that to Daniels having asked him where the money was for the books upon which he put the claim in to the county. This ended the day’'s proceedings, and | to-morrow there will be a great two-ring act, for the Daniels examination will go on in the Police Court and the trial tf ; Dalton ugon the indictment will g0 on be- fore the Superior Court, both at once, —_— e The Duchess of Athol.

FAMILY D 15 MSSING dons Helpless Wife and Babies. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 9. Abandoning his wife and two babes, one three years of age, the other only five weeks, Alexander C. Fisher, a clerk for the Industrial Correspondence School of Scranton, Pa., and employed at its local office, 1014 Broadway, is an embezzler and a fugitive, according to the accusation which Thomas Castain, Pacific Coast su- perintendent of the school, lodges against him. The amount involved is small, only §160, but the circumstances attending Fisher's flight are peculiarly distressing. The missing clerk’s little family is abso- lutely destitute. His wife had only 32 25 en her spouse fled last Saturday. Vhen you receive this I will be where I cannot be found,” was the tenor of a letter Castain received Saturday from Fisher. Immediately upon its receipt the manager went to' the Oakland office, which had been in Fisher's charge, and speedily the shortage was uncovered. The: money had been collected as.fees from people who were membexs of the school. Manager Castain explained that none of the patrons would suffer and neither will the institution, which is protected by a guarantee bond. The suréty company, he said, would take steps to discover the missing defaulter’s whereabouts. Fisher took the position on January 1. Before that he had been employed in the electrical department of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company. ““The wretched feature about this affair is the way Fisher treated his family,” said Castain to-day. “The theft does not count half so much as the man’s despica- ble action toward his wife, whom he leaves destitute and helpless with two babies to care for.

INSINTTY PARTS “PALSIED COURLE Mrs. Ann Fisher’s Mind Weakens in Her Old Age. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 9. Bitter tears scalded the wan cheeks of aged William Fisher when the wife to whom he has been attached for fifty- eight years was torn from his side by the process of law this afternoon in Judge Ogden’s court. With head bowed in with- ered hands he listened to the words that sent Ann Fisher to the insane hospital at Ukiah, there to stay, perhaps, until death severs forever their lifetime com- panionship. Mrs. Fisher is 77 years old and her hus- band is three years older. A month ago 'she withstood trial for insanity before Judge Ogden, who dismissed her when it seemed that she had been more abused than abusing. The complaint was made against her by a mah named James Fish- Lourne, who tried to shield himseif after having committed a battery on the old coliple. Afterward Fishbourne was ar- rested for battery and fined $250, with the aiternative of spending 125 days in jail. But_after all it became evident that Mrs. Fisher would be safer in an asylum than free. She has arrived at the age of senility and her thoughts wander always to the spirit land. She believes that all life is spirit life. Her arrest occurred this morning, and a few hours afterward she was pronounced insane. It was a vathetic spectacle to see that palsied old couple stagger out of the courtroom, clinging to each other as they had for more than half a century. At the Re- celving Hospital the old man lingered by his wife until the last moment and his eyes followed her until the carriage that bore her to the station was out of sight. Then he went back to his lonely home in the Watts tract. The Fishers were married in England fifty-eight years ago. They have had eleven children, all of whom are dead. Forty-five years ago, attracted by the teachings of Brl{hnm Young, they came to America,. settling in Utah.” The couple were once prosperous, but their money is all gone now. 3 WA NGTON, July 9.—The trial of Charlc/ Bright, the civil engineer, of Sandusky, Ohlo, charged with concealing $500,000 in con- nection with his bani roceedings, end- kruptcy b ed to-day in the acquittal of Bright.

Two men are in the hospital. | One of them, Willlam McCoy, is seriously injured. Conductor Grassneck and Brake- | man Kelly escaped almost miraculously.

JOSEPH, Mo., July 9—James Blades, Leck Allen and James Murray, | notorious prisoners in the Buchanan | County Jail, wrecked the rear wall of (he} jail building at noon to-day with a power- | ful charge of dynamite. Allen, Blades and Murray then made a fierce fight for liberty, but the guards were too quick fer them and beat them back with rifles. Seventy-five prisoners are confined in the | t many of them made no effort to | escape, and those who weré nervy enough to try to follow Blades and his compan- jons were clubbed into submission. As it by miracle, but one was injured, althotugh the explosion was felf several blocks away and every window in the court- house on the side next to the jail was shattered. Blades and Allen are under sentence for highway robbery and Mur- Tay is a Government prisoner. They are now chained face down to the floors of | their cells. Other prisoners were apprised of what was to happen about five minutes before the fuse was lighted, and on advice of the | Jeaders of the plot they sought safety in their cells just before the explosion oc- curred. The jailer was at dinner in another part | of the building. Charles May, who has| three times been under sentence of death, | declined to take part in the plot, although | he admits that he knew of it.

He seems confident that he has the outlaw located and intimates that he is only awaiting Jevelcpments and that he will land his man before he gives up the search. There {s some doubt as to whether the $11,000 reward offered can be collected, and just now Edson is busy investigating this matter. Given Charge of Buffalo Herd. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Charles J.

The Bully Hill miners turned out in force and their h%;d o loss is placed at about $20,000. The names of the losers could not be obtained to- night. The fire was caused by the explosion of 2 kerosene lamp in a saloon located on & corner of the main street. From the sa- loon the flames rapidly spread, soon en- veloping the entire block.

MODESTO, July 9.—While traveling at the rate of forty miles an hour the Fres- no passenger train ‘which left here last night at 9:3 o'clock ran into an open switch®at Madera at 11:42, and before the engineer could stop the engine and cars went _through the whole length of - the spur-frack and crashed into a bulkhead, ucing it to kindling wood. It was after 3 o'clock this morning be- fore the train was ready to resume its journey southward. The coaches were well filled with passengers, and had there been a number of loaded freight cars on the spur track it is safe to assume that the whole train would have been tele- scoped. Just how the switch on the spur track came to be open is a mystery that the railroad officials are working hard to dis- cover. The switch located several hundred yards north of the depot on the spur_track to the Rosenthal & Kutner warehouses. It is always padlocked after being in use, and it is thought by some that the switch was opened by a mise creant who wanted to wreck the train.
