PERMITS USE OF LOAN BOOK Ruling Adverse to Defense Is Given by Judge Law- lor in Eppinger Case SURPRISE SPRUNG IS Checks Are Shown to Prove That Jacob Transacted Little of the Business' PREEEEER As a lively finish to a dull day, the | prosecution in the Eppinger case | sprung a surprise yesterday afternoon when it offered the loan book in evi- dence. The defense was evidently un- | prepared for such a proffer and Attor- neys Ach, Shortridge and Dunne in turn quoted authorities to prove that the contents of the book were not ad- missible in evidence inasmuch as they referred to transactions other than that with which the defendant is charged and no connection had been shown. In response Attorney,Campbell said: W wish to show by this book that at the time Jacob Eppinger made the alleged fraudu- lent statements by w he borrowed money the firm of Eppinger & Co. was already be- hind to the extent of $1,000,000 and there was a shortage of 30,000 tons in the warchouse, We also intend to show that he intended to de- fraud the International Banking Corporation out gf its money. We have here collateral evidy ce that the firm knew its exact condition and deliberately committed fraud W. W. Topping, formerly bookkeeper for the firm, occupied the witness stand vesterday. From the hour of opening court until three o'clock yesterday aft- ernoon he was kept busy identifying checks. The prosecution last week of- fered a number of checks of the firm signed by Jacob Eppinger to prove his activity as a member of the firm just prior to the failure. In return the de- fense to-day offered a stack of other checks, covering the same period and signed by Herman Eppinger.and Ber- nard Ettlinger. These vastly outnum- | bered those signed by Jacob Eppinger. After the checks had been examined Attorney Campbell asked on re-direct examination: “Did you not say you could tell the amount of the loans if you had the loan book?” “Xes.” At this junction Detective Gibson ap- peared with the book and Attorney Ach | asked in an audible a “Did you steal that book, too, Tom “Can you tell by that book the amount of loans outstanding that were secured by the hypothecation of ware- house receipts?”’ was next asked, and the witness replied in the affirmative. Ach then obfected to the introduction | when'tnat fact was discovered the mis- of the book and after a lengthy argu- ment Judge Lawlor ruled that it might be used to show the financial condition of the firm at the time the loans were negotiated. The battle for possession of the books, which was to have taken place before Referee Green yesterday, was postponed until Monday at 1 The case goes on this morning at 10 o’clock. e Judge Heacock Returns.

CAUSES ARREST Young Ecuadorean Offers False Papers and Is Now Charged at City Prison IS NOT THE FIRST TIME Neglects Captain Martin’s Warning to Mend His Ways After Former Case - With all the self-assurance and don’t-care air of the man around town, George Mario Buenaventura, alias J. W. B. de Acevedoc, occupies a cell in the city prison on a charge of forgery. By the time Detective Ryan gets through with the case more than one charge may be pressed to prosecution. The prisoner is now under arrest for presenting a forged indorsement on a draft for $100 to Du Val Moore, son of George A. Moore, 208 California street. The young man presented himself and self-signed draft to Mr. Moore yes- terday morning. A letter of introduc- tion accompanied the draft, but the 1oment Mr. Moore saw the signature of Lawrence True affixed to the epistie and also on the back of the draft, he pronounced both documents forgeries and summoned the police. THE OLD STORY. It is the old story of the butterfly life. George Mario Buenaventura is a native of Ecuador. His father is a physician employed by the Pacific Mail Company at the Central American ports and through his parent’s standing he was selected by the Ecuadorean Gov- ernment in 1897 as a promising pupil to study mining and ‘ivil engineering in the United States. In company with three other native Ecuadoreans he was sent to New York with $50 per month in gold for ordinary expenses, the Gov- ernment defraying the cost of tuition and the incidentals in a collegiate course. His companions devoted their time to study while he found the glitter of the “merry-merry’”’ more alluring and de- voted more time to the midnight bowl than to the midnight oil. But he says he completed his course at Columbia University, and that hg is a member of the D. K fraternity. WORKED E DOREAN CONSUL. On June 4 the young man called on Alejandro Noboa, Ecuadorean Consul General. It took but a little while to get in the good graces of that official and have him cash a check for $15 There were no funds to back it, and guided youth was taken before Cap- tain Martin. He promised never to do such a thing again. Owing to .the position occupied by Mr. Noboa, he de- clined to prosecute and in fact gave the culprit much good advice, with transportation to Los Angeles. The transportation was advice was _ignored, for George turned up in San Francisco shortly afterward and by representing himself as a mem- ber of the college fraternity induced Thomas B. Bishop, 532 Market street, to cash a draft signed by himself and drawn on his father, for $100. Again there was no money coming, hence Bishop notified the police to be on the lookout for the young man from Ecua- dor, and also informed his friend Moore to keep his eyes open if the fel- low tried to get any coin from him. The warning was heeded and the arrest followed. Buenaventura is 23 years old, and says he has never been arrested before. As he was being taken up the elevator at the city prison he dropped several letters of introduction, and also a draft for $99 80 purporting to be signed by D. C. Burke of Los Angeles.. His record is being looked up by the police. LOS ANGELES, July 7.—According to the city directory, just issued$thera is no person named D. C. Burke in Los Angeles, and in signing that name George ( M. Buenaventura, , alias De Acevido, used a fictitious name. Dana . Burke, manager of the City Di- tory Company, whose name is near- t that signed, denies all knowledge of the man under arrest. Members of several families named Burke know no person named D. C. Burke. —_——— CONVIVIALITY AND CARDS RUIN RUSTIC POSTMASTER accepted but the A. Jensen of Cordelia Holds Out $1400 and Gets Into Trouble With Government: Conviviality and cards are said to be responsible for the downfall of C. A. Jensen, postmaster at Cordelia in Solano County, who was held for trial yesterday by United States Court Commissioner Heacock on a charge of having failed to deposit with the post- master of San Francisco $1421 38 re- ceived from postal money orders and the sale of envelopes and stamps. he complaint was made by Post- office Inspector Dennis Coyne, who had discovered the shortage on the occasion of a recent visit to Cordelia. Inspector Coyne testified yesterday | that Jensen had admitted his short- age and was unable to produce the | money when the witness made a for- | mal demand for it. Jensen managed to collect $821 38 from friends and turned that sum over into the pos- session of the inspector. Afterward friends and relatives made up the re- mainder of the delinquency. The prisoner was admitted to bail on a bond of $500. —_———————— NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY TAKES POISON FOR LOVE | Frank Dutra de Faria Swallows Car- bolic Acid Because He Thought His Affection Was Misplaced.

The Supreme Court took final action in the famous case vesterday by denying the appeal of the adventuress for a new trial. Her male associates in the conspiracy have all been convicted and sentenced. The offense which Docia Nolan she gges to the penitentiary was one of the most cowardly and brutal in the grim annals of San Francisco's crime. The woman learned that Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Tuttle had a large sum of money and valuable jewels at their residence at 543 Haight street. One night she told her consort, Mich- ael Nolan, and his murderous friends, John Davis and Bernard Whitelaw, about her discovery. A few days later the criminals met and formed their conspiracy to se- cure possession of the wealth. They learned that Mrs. Tuttle was thinking of purchasing a rooming-house and on the pretext that he had one to sell Bernard Whitelaw was enabled to en- ter the Matthews home and to make observations.: A short time afterward Mrs. Tuttle was enticed away from her mother for a few hours by a mes- sage written by the robbers. When the elderly lady was left planned and fostered and for which | alone in the house Whitelaw, Nolan and Davis appeared. They rang the bell and when the door was opened by Mrs. Matthews forced their way in. The aged woman was struck on the head by Whitelaw and forced to a lounge. The criminals then ran- casked the house, but secured only $60 and a gold watch. Whitelaw re- peatedly struck Mrs. Matthews on the head with his revolver and threatened to blow out her brains. Bleeding from a score of wounds, she finally sprang from the lounge and opening the parlor door shrieked for assistance. Whitelaw again pounded her with his revolver and forced her back. Mrs. Morris, who lived up- stairs in the same house, had heard the cries, however, and crawling through a window to the balcony she also screamed for aid. The robbers became alarmed and fled, but White- law turned back for a moment to bruise and batter his aged victim once again. The men, when brought to trial, | tried to protect the Nolan woman, but a note which practically established her guilt was written in the City Prison by her to her consort and in- tercepted by the police. Her parents, who are well to do people of Stock- ton, tried hard to save her from pris- on, but in vain. Whitelaw received a life sentence. Nolan got twenty-five years at Folsom and Davis twenty years. —_———— To Visit San Francisco Without seeing the Diamond Palace would be like visiting Europe without seeing Par- is.
