Spec al Dispatch to The Call, BAKERSFIELD, April 8.—Reports from Randsburg to-day confirm the story that | McKinney, the outlaw, went through that sectlon yesterday, securing provisions and continued his trip north. Everything in- dicates that he has gone to Kernville, in which vicinity he took refuge before. Sheriff Collins’ posse that left here two days ago has recelived reinforcements from Visalia and is following the outlaw north. The officers should be less than one day behind. Sheriff Kelly stated to- night that he had no further word from Collins, and the country into which they are now going Is one of the most isolated in the State, the only communication at any point being by a private telephone line to Kernville from Callente Station on the Southern Pacific, thirty miles away. If McKinney struck straight through to Kernville from Randsburg he could by hard riding have reached the former place by thie morning, and it is evident that wherever the outlaw is going he is not allowing the grass to grow under his feet. Once in Kernville, or on the South Fork, he knows every foot of the country, even to the mountain tralls, and from Kernville down into Linn's Vallsy is a distance of but twenty-five miles. There McKinney will find friends and_neighbors who have known him since boyfiood. The distance on to Porterville s com- paratively insignificant and it now ap- pears Illkely that he will not be intercept- ed before reaching his old home, if he be headed that way. Sheriff Kelly, fearing that the outlaw might ride direct through the country, and so be a day in advance of the posse under the lead of Sheriff Coi- lins, has at least one other posse in the mountains at some point not publicly known, and it may be that it will reach the through roads in time to waylay the hunted man. B for her, she sald, but sulcide, and she vowed she would take carbolic acid that night. Miss Woolesen also told of the trouble in the Samuels family due to the differ- ences on religious matters, and of indig- nities heaped on the wife by her mother- in-law because she was not a Jew. Sam- ueis had always upheld his mother. Mrs, Samuels had threatened in her presence on the afternoon of her death to commit suicide that night. The verdict of the jury was simply that deatd was due to carbolic acid taken with sulcidal intent, N CISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1903. SCANDAL IN OFFICE OF COUNTY CLERK MAHONY INCREASES AS THE HOURS PASS/ e Continued From Page 1, Column 6. discovered. Absolute confirmation of the charges of the levying of assessments on the deputies was secured. The unlawful engrossing of the minutes in Judse Dunne’'s court was found to be of far greater consequence tflan at first thought. Some new irregularity is appearing hour- ly almost and the outlook for Mr. Ma- hony seems very dark. None of the city’s prominent attorneys or Judges were willlng to state what would be the probable effects of the ma- nipulation of the Superior Court minutes. No case of the kind has ever been brought there are no court rulings in exactly anal- ogous affairs. Various from time to time been reversed by the Supreme Court as a result of errors com- mitted by clerks of lower tribunals. No one ventures to assert that the records | will hold good. It is a question that must be settled in court. Many new trials will undoubtedly be demanaed In consequence 0i the exposure. The engrossed minutes betray the fact that Mahony. of office, w about as neglectful of his duties as a man could be without for- getting to collect -his salary. He some- and rarely wrote more than a few words at the top of a page In his minute book. Lee, who positively identifled his entries yesterday afternoon. The engrossing done by the latter extended entirely through one book and occupied a portion of the space in two others. Lee was fa- miliar, with court procedure through long experience, so that he was able to form a pretty fair idea of what should appear in the minutes from Mahony's rough notes. In cases where the latter neglected to take notes there are telltale blanks. 1000 CASES ARE INVOLVED. The number of cases involved probably | exceeds 1000. The criminals are of all | classes. On the list are robberies, grand { larcenies, mayhems, assaults to kill, re- | cervings of stolen property, perjuries, em- bezzlements, forgeries, burglarie and murders. Of the latter variety there were three trials in the period covered by Lee's entries. Two of these resulted in convic- tions—those of Catherine Coarum, who was sentenced to ten years' imprison- ment, and Robert Glaze, who was given life imprisonment. Robert Wilson, the other defendant on the murder charge, was acquitted. Other prominent trials were those of Jchn Lapique, for forgery, and George Waiker, for embezzlement. Dunne was presiding judge in 101 and Lee wrote the records of the empanelments and reports of the Grand Jury of that year. Mahony used the rubber stamp when he was at { leisure and feit strong and Lee made the | necessary entries just in the nick of time | to save the former from being defeated {at the election. After awhile Mahony for- | got all about his {liegal deal and dis- charged his helpmeet from the County Clerk's office when the Irtter refused to stand for an assessment of $25, aceording to Lee's statement. While Mahony used the fateful rubber stamp with great free- dom, he did not use it well. The records in many cases are more than half ob- literated and show absolutely nothing. In similar cases the Supreme Court has re- | cently ordered reversals of judgments and new trials. One of Judge Dunne's deci- sions was reversed for that very reason within a year or two. Anything might be read into the official record. There are other cases, the proceedings of which are recorded “The People of the State of California vs.” and then the name. What happened to the persons mentioned could be best told by them- selves. They may be in San Quentin or back on the Barbary Coast, for all one | knows from the minutes. There are iotlwr cases where Mahony used his rub- ber stamp, but failed to fill in the blanks. | These records can be presented to su.t. | The entries by Lee had to be made out | in accordance with the calculations of are far enough apart to give space for a promenade. Sometimes he found it compulsory to leave whole pages vacaut. In other places the writing fs made so fine as almost (o require a mi- croscope o read it. Adornments in the shape of marginal and foot notes are nu- merous on the pages of the minute books. One may frequently see at the bottom of a page “See page’ so and so for remain- Ger. The whole record is in a hopel tangle. The rough minutes might furnish some enlightenment to the inquirer if thay had not been kept by Mahony. Members of the legal fraternity seem | for the most part to be inclined to think | that the Iee records will not hold good and that many felons are likely to es- cape punishment for their crimes. The law expressly directs that a County Clerk or deputy must keep the records. There is no alternative. Muddled records alway cause difficulties in legal procedure. The lack of records or partial lack of them has been responsible for the escape of many an offender. The only way to set- tie the question is to bring a test case and carry it to the Supreme Court. As several long term convicts are directly intcrested In the matter, they will prob- ° DRI IO CATTLE RMISERS EALL UNITED Prepare to Wage a War Against Packers’ Combine. DENVER, April 8.—A meeting of great importance to the producers of live stock has been held in Denver, with representa- tive men present from a dozen States west of the Mississippi River, in response to a call made by President John . Springer of the National Livestock Asso- ciation of the United States, who pre- sented the latest information concerning the packing house merger scheme. Springer sald regarding the meeting: It was determined to fight the packers all along the line, and to prevent (If at all pos- sible) the contemplated merger for $500,000,000, Offers were made to organize a mew line of packing-houses under pledge from all the big cattle producers to stand by the new packing- houses if buflt. “The Federal Government only waits another move to prosecute criminally the officers of the combine, as sed, for disobedience of the tnjunction of the Federal court at Chicago, and all the States stand ready to suppress an un- lawful conspiracy against interstate commerce. The stock producers have resolved to wage a relentless war for free markets and honest competition among packing-house piants in each of these markets.

HIS RECORD IS SHADY. What can be done to Mahony for his share in the transaction is another mat- ter of interest. In assuming office he swears to faithfully perform his dutics. He did not comply with the requirements of his oath and in fact directly disre- garded them. Lawyers say that he ca be punished for his dishonesty. For the | sake of being elected to a public oflice, and in order to conceal his inexcusable neglect of duty, he willfully violated the Jaws of California which he swore to up- hold. At the time he is said to have ad- mitted that he was fathering an illegal | deal, but that It was necessary if he was to be elected to the office of County Clerk | of San Francisco. From the hour that he took charge of his office it has Dbeen | tainted with suspicion and with scandal. | The Call published the fact that he had made illegal compacts to secure an elec- | tion and disclosed some of the disgrac ful features of his administration. assessments have been common talk on the streets. That he has truckled to the | | wishes of the “bosses” is a matter of | common knowledge. Heé is declared to have juggled with the people’s funds and | more disclosures along this lne are proui- ised. His name is a byword even amcng the most corrupt of the city’s poliiical | | “heelers.” His misdeeds have been the subject of jokes in his.own office for | months and he is alleged to have fre- | quently laughed about his “graft’ him- self when in wine. And to such as him | is intrusted the safety of one of the most | important of local public offices. What does Mahony say to the charges of evil? Nothing. He whimpers and wants to know why he is persecuted and why peo- “have got it {n for me.” He declares s all a mistake. He can explain if he can get time. He fears to meet the is- sue. He grovels and shrinks from the blow that he knows is falling. The corrl- dcrs of the City Hall have been full for months of men waliting for him to keep his promises. He will promise anything to be rid of an unpleasant moment. Dep- utyships galore have been pledged to men who helped him to be elected: Another man would get —hold of him later and make him change his mind. He will not | | keep engagements if he fears that all | may not be plain sailing. He is the limp | branch which the wind turneth whither it listeth. DUNNE'S RESPONSIBILITY. | Superior Judge Frank Dunne is not passing through the fire unscathed. The irtelligent people are gathering in qulet groups and asking how it happened that he could allow a clerk to get three years behind on his records. Many are anxious {to know if he will permit a clerk to | handle cases as might be convenient. If ke can wander dreamily on forever while records are falsified, were it not betier to present one's case to the clerk? Why not leave it all to the clerk? For three years, certainly, Mahony could have en- tered, the cases as might suit his own sweet will. People are wondering if Su- | perior Judge Frank Dunne lets other matters besides official records take care | of themselves. He asserts that he is not responsible for the accuracy of engross- | ments. Others differ with him. There are breakers ahead for the people who are at fault in this matter and Judge | Dunne is in a position where he may Le | requested to explain. | Doran, the Deputy County Clerk who | danced to the crack of the bosses’ whip on Wednesday night when representatives of The Call demanded on behalf of the people of San Francisco their right to inspect the public records, kept his own | counsel yesterday and presentéd:the teli- | tale records. It is said that hé is anx- | ious to be a candidate for the office of County Clerk when the Mahony head | falls. One of the entries in Mahony's al- | leged book of records has been identified as Doran’s. He means well, is very ac- commodating and has an excellent repu- tation for honesty, but he lacks courage to disobey instructions from unauthorized political dictators. JUDGE DUNNE TALKS. | “I am not at all responeible for the acts | of the clerks in my court,” said Judge Dunne. “I have no control over them any more than I have over the bailiffs. | 1 could not remove them if I should so | desire. I have had trouble with clerks before, but my time is occupled with the | consideration of cases. I have the right | to suppose that a clerk performs his du- ties properly. If they do not, then it is )t my fault. Our employments are | | wholly different. He has his part of the | work and I have mine. If these two men (Mahony and Lee) were dishonest—and they were dishonest it appears—what con- cern Is that of mine? 1 cannot prevent | them from doing crooked work. I was amused when I read *The Call this after- noon. It is a quarrel between them, and | what is that to the public?

Then | was the time that the trouble might have | been remedied. “I am not prepared to state just what | effect that maunner of keeping the min-| utes will have.

J. McGrath, and the un- lucky copyists and deputies” who did not have the moral courage to refuse to give up a_half-month’s salary to Mabony to enable him to defray the cost of his cam- paign and other expenses. Everybedy else connected with the office was happy be cause The Call's exposure of Mahon methods of conducting one of the mc | timportant offices in the county has saved them the necessity of refusing him a por- tion of their justly earned salaries and leaving themselves liable to Immediate | aischarge. Though the others In the office dared not openly show their glee over the ex- posure of Mahony and his henchman, Me- Grath, they did not try to hide entirely the pleasure they derived from the dow fall of the “political highwaymen.” For months they have been “giving up” at the command of these two worthies portions | of their salaries to save themselves from discharge. If it was not to pay a lawyer to make a fight to keep Mahony in office it a contribution to the *‘ticket fund,” a_fund, by the way, that has grown twice as large and disappedred twice as quickly in Mahony's time than It has at any other time since it was started. Now, thanks to The Cali, these monthly contributions are at an end. Is it any wonder. that the clerks, every one of whom needs his sal- ary, are happy? “Fhe feeling of Joy was not restricted to the County Clerk's office alone. It per- meated the entire hall. In the corridors of the temple of justice wefe many men who sald openly that they were glad to know that Mahony had been exposed. They were men who had been promised positions by Mahony and who had been turned dowh. There are fully two dozen of them in the corridors of the hall every day and they have been there ever since the County Clerk took office, awalting a nétification from Mahony to the effect that he was ready to keep his oft-repeat- ed promises to put them to work. The got a promise at least once a week, but not one of them got a billet. The disappointed ones and the relieved clerks were not alone in their joy. Every attorney who has had business dealings with Mahony since he took charge of ¢he office was equally pleased and did not hesitate to say so. With the exception of work done in the departments conducted by Chief Registrar Clerk John Grief and Chief Probate Clérk Edward Casey, there has been nothing in the way of service given them since January, 191, when Ma- hony took charge. They can now expsct decent service. Mahony has forty-nine men In his office. Forty-eight of these are assessable. His force consists of one chief deputy (non-assessable since the place was by Mahony's partner in the beer ness); one ¢ month, sixteen copyists at $100 a sixteen court-room clerks, who get § month when the “ticket fund” i pleted; ten as salary of $125 2 month and five register clerks who get $150 a month. They assessed on numerous occaslons for bu rious amounts, and in addition gave up | the | from 50 céents to $150 a month to “ticket fund.” The assessment Mahony tried to levy last Thursday, and which led to his exposure by The Call, would have netted him in the neighborhood of §3000, as he demanded that each man {n his employ give him half a month’s salary. As far as can be learned only about ten men, mostly copyists, complied with the demand. et A STUFFING OF ROLL CHARGED AGAINST R in the present scandal turned the office of the County Clerk upside down which go far to con- firm the suspicion long held that Albert B.
