The evi- dence of guilt was in the || Governor’'s own handwrit- ing. Two shipments ex- | pressed to him, personally, || from the prison, were deliv- | | ered to him in person at Downey. At his request, the who also the agent of Wells, Fargo & Co., signed the receipt for one of the packages—a box station agent, is | of glasse—and the other | package—a box weighing | fifteen pounds—was signed | | for by the Governor. The | original delivery book of || | s, Fargo & Co.,in which j were entered the articles onsigned to the chief ex- ecutive, and opposite one of which was his signature, was the evidence which proves the truth of the charges made by The Call. - Gage Assists in th Violation of the Law. | Beneficiary of the Conspiracy at | Prison. der book of Wells, Far;zo‘ were made in San Quentin in ex- and e ess violation of the law personally, at his home | con- | ch vesterday at the trial for of John D.

The testimony of Mr. Simpson com- pletes the chain of evidence against Governor Gage. The Call charged mong other things that his Excellency X iary of the illegal acts by which goods were being manufactured the prison contrary to-law.- This is charge which the Governor brought action for criminal libel against the proprietor and manager of The Call. He ignored the other charges, ng that he had investigated those of ery and conspiracy in San Quentir and found that there tures o large = 1 nd s a benefi the on was nothing in them. Those charges have been proved witnesses of the highest ding. The Governor wanted proof. i FROM THE PRISON TO DOWNEY. The goods manufactured in San Quentin have been traced from the raw material to their delivery to the Gov- ernor’s home, some of them into the Governor’s hands. There is not single link missing in the chain of evi- dence. The men having charge of the work of manufacturing furniture, | carriages, buggies, harness and other articles have testified on the witness- stand to the making of them, what hand they had in the work and who else was employed. Ex-convicts have told of the work they have done, but their tes- timony was merely corroborative, Captain Edgar of the yard told that he knew of the illegal work going on and had warned his superiors.

Joseph Aguirre | has testified that he bought the material with which the prison-made furniture made for him was upholstered. Mr. Emslie was on the stand yesterday and an effort was made to get from him some information on this score, but his memory utterly failed him. His evidence | was remarkable only for the manner in which he dodged the questions asked him. In his record book of work done in the carpenter-shop Mr. Aguirre is charged with the upholstery material This is part of the bill which was paid | after The Call's ~exposure, The Call having charged that material owned by the State was being used and not ‘paid for. Attorney Campbell stated that some of the heads of San Quentin’s depart- ments had been subpenaed and had promised to appear in court on tele- phonic notification. Commissary Foley was one of these, and new subpenas were issued for him and his assistant to be in court on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, to which hour adjournment was taken, is = Saay QUENTIN, Tormrm SI1MPSon STATION AGENT AT DowNEy SHOWING THE SIGeNATURESS OF SovERNOR &GAGE To THE CoUrRT — | I LAST LINK IN THE CHAIN OF E SIMPSON SHOWS RECEIPTS THAT SHAME GOVERNOR | That is 1 Mr | that Way * hand- | 5 i T.

He also swore that many consignments had been received for Mrs. Gage, and that they were delivered to people to whom he had received in- structions, from Mrs. Gage, to deliver them. His oath was backed by the docu- | mentary evidence of his of- i fice, the delivery-book in | which the consignments are entered and which must be signed before delivery is made. Among the signa- tures on the book for goods made in and shipped from San Quentin are those of Miss Pau, a governess at the Gage ranch, and Do- mingo Mendias, another | employe, and also that of ‘ Mrs. Henry T.
