We have been faml with his whole conduot in this case and there is not a shadow of suspicion of any kind_ against him.

TO CONTROL A VERDICT IN T DEATH OF TOM YICK JUROR WHO ACCUSES A BAD-DEBT COLLECTOR OF BRIBERY AND THE MAN WHO 18 HE MURDER CASE AGAINST THE CHINE CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTING SE, NGUEN LUN, ON TRIAL FOR THE - Edward W. Gunther, law and col- lection agent, is under arrest on a charge of attempted bribery of a juror in the case of Nguen Lun, 2 Chinam who is on trial for his life for murder of Tom Yick, a member of the the Lawlor’s court, and it was expected that it would terminate yes- terday. It did, but not in the manner contemplated. When the case was called yesterday morning Attorney Hiram Johnson, who has been conducting the defen asked the court to discharge the jur: on account of certain which had come to Judge Lawlor, who had been told of the facts, asked for information as to why such a request should be granted. In compliance with that desire De- Judge | tective Thomas L. Ryan was called to the stand and told the story of how Juror David J. Kelly place had czlled him up on the 'phone Tuesday night and later came to his house and stated that E. W. Gunther had placed $160 in his coat pocket, with the remark that Kelly should hang the jury. Ryan testified that he at once reported the matter to Captain and then made an arrange- ment with Kelly to meet him at the #all of Justice in the morning and tell his story to the court and the District | Attorney. During the conversation that night Kelly wanted Ryan to take tite money which he said Gunther had slipped into his pocket, but Ryan re- fused to accept it, claiming that the coin should be turned over to the court in the morning. While Kelly was telling Ryan of the attempted bribery he stated that he had kept Gunther engaged in con- versation in hopes that some one would come along who would be able to substantiate the fact that he and Gunther had been in conversation at the time he stated. Such a person did appear on the scene. John Mermer, a neighbor of Kelly’s, saw them together and Kelly cited that fact to Detective Ryan. GUNTHER IS DUMFOUNDED. At that juncture of the testimony | the court asked Gunther if he wished to ask any questions. Gunther re- plied: y I dor't know what my rights are at this in- vestigation. 1 can only say I am not repre- sented by counsel at all. 1 am dumfounded at auything of this kind, and I think—I don’t know whether 1 have any right to be repre- sented in. this particular examination by coun it 1 am I would like to have some counsel here David J. Kelly, the man who made the accusation, was called to the stand and testified In part as follows: When 1 got to the corner of Rondel place and Rixteenth street Mr. Gunther came from opposite side of the street—we call it “street”; it 1s called Rondel place—Gunther came from f the small street and says .”” took —my hand and ehook- it, and by that time I think I had got about eight or nine feet from the cornor of Sixteenth street on my Wway home.

Gunther was again asked if he de- sired to interrogate the witness, but said: 1 don't know as I @o. him at home as has 1 am not enough advised, 1 find myself here before the court and everybody here In a very serious plight. 1 aporeciate that. 1 have been in the law business long enough to know that.

The Court—If you desire to make a state- ment you will be afforded the amplest oppor- tunity to do so. Mr. Gunther—I think maybe as quick—until I have coliected my thoughts and know just what to say so as to express them that I possibly had better leave the matter remain in the position it is. The only thing I can say is that what Mr. Kelly says s not so. A number of questions were asked Gunther relative to his conversation with Kelly and as to what he was do- ing in that neighborhood at that time in the evening. In reply to the last query he said he had been collecting, but when asked if he could give the names of any of the people whom he had visited, replied: *I guess I could if I wanted to. I don't know as I want to go into the matter. I am not - e COOK BOOK OFFER TO CLOSE AUGUST 30, 1904.

Johnson—I want to say that my services at the disposition of this court or the istrict Attorney in this matter or anything connected with it JURY IS DISCHARGED. The- remaining eleven jurors then interrogated by the court as to whether any person had approached them in regard to the case outside of the courtroom and all having answered in the negative, they were discharged from further consideration of the case. After the jury had been discharged, the court said: With respect to the subject matter of this investigation the authorities of the city and county will take such steps as will be appro- priate in order to have this matter probed | to the bottom. This court is extremely solic- itous that no effort shall be spared to get at | the truth of this accusation, and if any per- | son has attempted in any manner to interfere with the due administration of justice it | will_be the duty of all concerned to see that | the law is vindicated. And if such practices | have been indulged jn this community they should bé made to cease. This can be ac- complished by allowing the heav$ hand of the l1aw to fall upon such malefactors. Let E. W. Gunther be taken into custody. Prior to being taken to the city prison Gunther was allowed to visit his office to arrange his affairs pending the securing of bail. When searched *at the prison a card bearing the name of Wong Fong was found in his pocket, and as the writing was of recent date the police are of the opinion that they have the name of the man who fur- nished the coin and arranged for the services of Gunther. Wong Fong, who resides at 33 Waverly place, or at least gives his address there, is the same in- dividual who was accused of attempt- ing to bribe the jury in the Quong Quock Wah trial for murder. In that case Wong Fong claimed that he had fixed the jury, but later it was found that the verdict desired would not be rendered, and as a result the money had been returned to him. When questioned by the officers of the See Yup society as to what had become of the coin he admitted having spent it for his own use. Another point the police consider as against Gunther is that his books show wers{to be in attendance. that he has been acting as a collecting agent for a number of Chinese and in consequence thereof he would be close enough with them to warrant trusting him with such a delicate mission. Kelly said yésterday when he be- came aware of the scheme he decided 10 delay the conversation on the sireet corner as much as possible in the hope of some friend or neighbor passing by who might later testify to having seen Gunther talking to him. John Mermer, a neighbor of Kelly's, passed the two men at about 6 o’clock, but says that he is not sure whether be could identify Gunther. Kelly called at Mermer’'s house early yesterday morning, but as the latter was not at home he left word that he would like to see Mermer on important business. Mermer said last night: “I am not sure whether I could identify the man as I do not even know whether he wore a mustache or a beard.” Later in the evening Mermer called at police headquarters and identified Gunther as the man he saw in conver- sation with Kelly. —e e It is almost as lucky for a girl to wear a four-leaf clover in her shoe as for a man to see her put it there. WIND DAMAGES CROWING FRUIT Orchardists and Growérs in the Santa Clara Valley Receive a Serious Sethack REES ARE UPROOTED Cherries and Prunes Suffer the Greatest Damage and the Loss Will Be Heavy et 5 b Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, May 25.—The high wind that prevailed yesterday and to-day has caused heavy ' loss to the fruit growers of Santa Clara Valley. The wind yesterday blew from the south and reached a veilocity of twenty-one miles .an hour. Cherries and prunes suffered the most, but all kinds of fruits were damaged. In some places fruit trees were blown down. It is es- timated that more than one-half of the ripening cherry crop is destroyed, and that from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 pounds of prunes have been blown to the ground. The first car of cherries for the East left San Jose yesterday and it was expected to ship from five i0 ten more this week, but the storm of yesterday caused such loss that not more than two cars will go forward now. Much of the loss ¢f the cherry crop will fall upon the packers, as most of the grow- ers sell their crops on the trees. In the Willow district the loss to the cherry crop is the largest and in sev- eral orchards the ground is covered with red and black fruit. In one or- chard it is estimated that five tons of | cherries are on the ground. The Black | Tartarians sfiffered tne neaviest, as they are just in the ripening stage. Considerable of the cherries left on the | trees are so bruised as to render them unfit for shipment. The prune crop also suffered severely. It is safe to say that 20 per cent of the fruit is destroyed. B. Betts, a | Campbell grower, pickéd up seven | pounds of prunes from under one tree | in his orchard and his estimate is that | 20 per cent of his crop is destroyed. All | throughout the valley there was great | damage done to the prunes and the loss | in the entire valley may exceed 20 per cent. | Peaches and apricots were damaged | tc some extent. In one orchard near Campbell twen- ty-eight fruit trees were blown down | and scores of grees are down in other | orchards along the roads. Many growers believe the destruction | of the prune crop may work te an ad- | vantage to the orchardists. It will give | a4 chance to work off the hold-over | crop and raise the price of this sea- | son’s dried fruit. | BAKERSFIELD, May 25.—Several heavy showers have fallen here since 6 o'clock this evening. The wind is blowing heavily from the northwest. If the rain continues the fruit crop | will be damaged and the farmers will suffer, as nearly all the hay is down. The rain is a great relief after the ex- tremely hot days this week. The dust has been laid and the air purified. —_——— Great Excursion to Lake Tahoe.

SALT LAKE, May 25.—Twice with- | |in the shadow of the gallows, then a | prospector and now a mining mag- | | nate, “Diamondfield Jack™ Davis now { has taken unto himself a bride. Ac- | cording to advices received from Ton- opah, Mrs. Minnie Williams of that city has become his wife. “Diamondfield Jack” 'Davis was tried for and convicted of the murder |of a sheep herder in the Snake River region of Idaho in the later '90's. The tragedy was the outcome of a bitter quarrel between the sheepmen and cattlemen. Evidence pointed strongly to “Diamondfield Jack” and information was immediately filed In the trial that fol- e was backed up by the big sheep owners of Idaho, Nevada |and Utah, F. J. Hagengarth being |among those who assisted financially |in the prosecution.

The legal bat- tle that preceded “Diamondfield Jac conviction was one of great bitterness. Judge O. W. Powers was foremost in the counsel assisting the The jury found the accused man guilty as charged and he was sentenced to be hanged. An appeal was taken. Davis was again sentenced to death. Then came intercessions in his behalf. Finally Davis was pardoned by Governor After he had been freed “Dia- mondfield Jack” prospected in difffer- ent parts of Nevada and finally, at- tracted by the Tonopah stories, locat- ed a claim in that vicinity. Thence he went to Goldfield. . A property in which he was heavily interested af- terward turned out to be rich. It was the first great mine of Goldfleld and the ‘overy was one of the causes of the rush to that camp. Now “Dia- mondfield Jack” once a cowboy, next a doomed convict, then a poor pros- pector, is a mining magnate and a happy husband.
