She sobbed some sobs. I saw that she was all in. ** “The ax,’ I cried to my little son. He brought me the weapon. I raised it on high.

The cases of J. C. Kenmouth and | Rudelph Quallo, charged with making | Joe King look like 30 cents in a poker. game, were dismissed by Judge Cabaniss. King, one of the owners of the New Western Hotel and a former Super- visor, used to think he was a wizard when the cards and chips slide along the green table. Several months ago a drummer sold to Joe several packs of cards.

Persistence got Albert Kelly two sen- | tences of six months each from Judge Mogan. Albert removed four empty wine barrels from L. Jockner's grocery on August 13. Albert’s ambition was not satisfied, with emptiness. He wanted full ba rels. He returned to the grocery Mon- | day night with his wagon. Quietly he decsended into the basement and an-| nexed two kegs of beer. Just as he was about to drive home and start a solo Wurzburger party a policeman in-| terfered. It was hard on Albert.

Judge Conlan dismissed Marie's case yesterday for lack of evidence, much to the discomfiture of Boukofsky. The court took notice of his disappointment and remarked about the vindictiveness shown by the proseeution.

Three witnesses were on the stand in Judge Seawell’s court in | the trial of the Wickersham will con- | test, and the hearing will go on this | afternoon. Attorney Campbell an- ! nounced that he expected to complete the case for the estate to-day. The witnesses for the contestant, Mrs. Cora | Wickersham, the widow of Frank will probably be heard | to-morrow. Mrs. Cora Wickersham | was in court again, and Mrs. Fred | Wickersham was present at the af- ternoon session. | Judge Thomas J. Geary, one of the | attorneys for the defense, denied a conversation imputed to him by At~ torney Francis J. Heney, in which | Geary was alleged to have said that | he suggested that Lydia C. Wicker- sham would have to make a will in | order to force Frank Wickersham to compromise his claim against his | father's estate. Judge Geary also de- nied saying that he prepared the data for such a will and gave it to Pro- fessor Lippet to draw up for Mrs. He also de- | nied many other statements attributed | to him by Heney. Attorney Heney expects to controvert Judge Geary's testimony by going on the stand him- self. | | | Wickersham's signature. | | Mrs. Lizzie Maclay, daughter of Lydia Wickersham, stated her inabil- ity to remember certain details re~ lating to the disposition of her moth- er's estate and Frank Wickersham's sale of his expectancy to his brother and sisters. She had heard of the proposition made by which Frank was to receive $250 a month from the es- tate and $60,000 for his son when the latter attained his majority. The proposition was rejected by the others. J. E. Brandon of Petaluma testified that Frank Wickersham was of sound mind when he sold his expectancy. —_————— Shows Effects of Brutality. Fearing that her stepmother might kill her, Celia Briseno, the 15-year-old child of A. F. Briseno, 604A Fourth street, sought safety in the home of a neighbor. The father conducts a glass store on Fourth street, near Brannan. The attention of Mrs. Pet- tee of the Universal Service Society was called yesterday to the case. She took possession of the child. ‘War- rants for the arrest of the father and stepmother on charges of cruelty will be sworn to. The girl bears many marks of brutality, which she says her stepmother inflicted. Her face and arms are scarred. She says the woman scratched her and beat her with a poker. She is undersized and bent from the effects of hard work. Her hands show that she has done se- vere labor. The child says that she has a sister, who is in Oakland, de- the effects mented from given by the stepmother. . CIVES CHILDREN ( PAYING REALTY De La Montanya Litigation! Settled by Father Deed-, ing Valuable Property! e | The long drawn litigation over the | valuable property which James de la Montanya placed in a trust at the| time his wife sued him for divorce | four years ago ended yesterday in Judge Hebbard’s court by the entry | of a judgment in favor of De la Mon- tanya in the suit against his mother, | sister, two children and the trustee, Wwilliam Madden. Behind the judg- | ment was a comproniise effected by | Dorn, Savage & Dorn, attorneys for | the defendants. By the settlement De | la Montanya deeds absolutely to his| two children, Lorraine and Jacques, | business property in Alameda vaiued | at $40,000 or more and producing an | income of $250 a month. | By the judgment the trust is ter-| minated and James de la Montanya is! declared the owner of the property he | inherited from his father. In his dep- osition, opened in court yesterday, De la Montanya recited his unhappy mar- ried life and said that his wife had | prevent the latter and to secure the| income to himself and children, had made a trust agreement that the! property was to be held for him pending his wife’s litigation. She sued | for divorce on September 12, 1900. On the same day he signed the trust| deed and_ that evening departed for France. He declared that he did not | then know that the document did not express his intention that the trust ! should terminate when his wife’s liti- gation was ended. The family and, trustees opposed his suit to set the ! trust aside. A suit brought in Janu-! ary of last year to compel De la Mon- tanya to pay $250 a month for the; support of his children was dismissed | yesterday and the incident is closed. e — MRS. BOTKIN OBJECTS TO . | FACING ANOTHER JURY ey | Her Trial on Charge of Murdering Mrs. Ida Henrietta Deane Con- | 1 tinued Till October 4. The case of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, | charged with the murder of Mrs. Ida | Henrietta Deane, sister of Mrs. John ' P. Dunning, was set for trial in Judge | Dunne’s court yesterday. When it was called Attorney Reese Clark for the: defendant, who was in court, raised | the objection that the sixty days with- in which sHe should be tried had elapsed and further that as a motion to dismiss the information was still pending the court had no jurisdiction to set the case for trial. The Judge overruled the objection and Clark complained that although nearly five months had passed since the defendant was held to answer by Police Judge Conlan the testimony taken at the preliminary hearing had not yet been transcribed. Judge Dunne advised him to make his com- plaint to Judge Conlan. The case was set for trial on Octo- ber 4, to which Attorney Clark took an excepti~= T | career, he ! = STATE LOSES OPPORTUNITY Fruit-Growers Overlook the Chance to Advertise Cali- fornia Product at the Fair MEAGER DISTRIBUTION Yield of Native Orchards Is Represented by Purchases Made in St. Louis Markets = —_— BY PAUL EDWARDS. CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILD- 00 or less made a distribution of fruit at the St. Louis exposition that would have been not only the talk of the fair, but of the globe and would have done the fruit industry in California thousands of dollars’ worth of good in an adver- tising way. In place of this there was, as already reported In The Call, a rather meager distribution of fruits that didn’t create much of a ripple of excitement on the fatr grounds, nor cause the Eastern and foreign visitors to feel convinced that California or- chards were cornucopias pouring out @ ! luscious wealth in unlimited quanti- ties. To sum the whole situation up, the fruit showing made on Admission ' day will hardly sell any orchard land in California or advance the consump- tion or prices of dried orchard pro- ducts. ~ Lloyd Childs, who purchased the $140 worth of fruit that the State ccmmission invested in to “plece out,” says the task he was chosen to car- ry out was one of the strangest of his The idea of buying fruit in a distant State for the use of Califor- nia at an exposition outside that State, was such a strange experience to him that he almost overlooked some bar- gains when he went down to the big market on Third street, near the river. The buying of this fruit is perhaps one of the strangest things that has hap- pened in the exposition history of the Golden State. Childs declares that he bought only California goods, but some of his fellow commissioners in the coynties’ displays are suspicious that there were some Missouri peaches and Kansas pears In the lot, and if this is| found to be true he wiil be tried by the county organization for treason. The fact that California bought fruit for her State day in the St. Louis mar- ket was kindly overlooked by the press | of the exposition city. It was a good thing that the fact that the greatest fruit raising State in the Union had not enough to supply her own wants was not made prominent, for it would have created an impressjon that California’s fruit was mostly in the jars at the fair. Somebody is to blame for the oppor- tunity California has lost to again im- press upon the world the marvelous scope of her fruit industry. The com- mission says it could not afford to spend the monev needed to make a proper fruit showing. It seems as if there should be some way by which the coffers of the great commonwealth of California could be made to yield up $2000 for such an important cause. The commission also blames the growers for not contributing fruit. It seems as if the necessary quantity could have been obtained {f proper efforts had been made to get it. If the growers were reluctant to contribute fruit there is some reason for it other than lack of liberality. With all the fruit pro- duced in California it doesn’t look rea- sonable that enough couldn’t have been obtained to give ‘the State a creditable representation at the exposition. Maybe some of the growers could explain why there is such an apathy in the matter of donating fruit for exhibit purposes. The actual supply of California de- clduous fruit, aside from apples, in the Palace of Horticulture on Admission : day consisted of a few plates of pears, plums and peaches and six plates of grapes, the latter from Los Angeles County. Some of this fruit was not above the average. o CALIFORNIANS AT THE FAIR. 8T.

Kratz, charged with felony embez- zlement and who it is asserted was drowned at Long Beach last Thursday, developed yesterday. Kratz was held to answer by Police Judge Fritz on June 11, 1903, and his bond was fixed at $5000. He was apparently released on that day, as he was not taken to the County Jail, and the supposition is that Judge Fritz accepted his bond. The bond could not be found yesterday. It was not in the County Clerk's office, and Deputy County Clerk Doran sald he had never seen it. Clerk Duffie of Judge Fritz’s court also*said he had never seen it. Judge Fritz is on his vacation, but it seems unlikely that he would retain thé bond in his possession for such a long period. The question that is puzzling the District Attorney’s office is, where is the bond? This development comes. with start- ling significance in view of the doubts expressed as to Kratz's death. When the case was called in Judge Dunne's court yesterday Assistant District At- torney Whiting said he had requested Captain Martin and Sheriff Curtis to make a thorough investigation in re- gard to the alleged drowning of the defendant at Long Beach. Attorney Frank J. Murphy, who rep- resents the defendant, had no further news to offer. From his knowledge of the defendant he could not believe oth- erwise than that he had lost his life while bathing in the surf at Long Beach. The Judge had doubts. The real rea- son why he would not permit the de- fendant’s brother William, who was convicted and sentenced to serve five years in San Quentin, to be at large pending the result of the appeal to the Supreme Court was the belief that he would forfeit his bonds. ‘Whiting has doubts as to the defend- ant’s death. He suggested that the case stand over for a few days, when he would make a motion that the bond of the defendant be forfeited. He be- lieved this course would rouse the bondsmen to prove whether or not the defendant is alive. Murphy expressed the hope that am- ple time would be given him befere such a motion was made to bring for- ward witnesses to prove that the de= fendant had been drowned. The Judge said he would continue the case till to-morrow morning, by which time something definite might be learned.. It was after the proceedings in court that it was discovered that the bonds were missing. e P et JURY IMPANELED IN THE FALLON MURDER CASE Trial of Man Accused of Shooting and Killing His Wife Will Commence This Morning. A jury was impaneled in Judge Lawlor’'s court yesterday to try the case of Thomas P. Fallon, charged with murder. The jury consists of Aaron Weiner, Erland Dryselius, George J. Berger, Louls Goodday, August L. Zett, Louis Fischbeck, Mark T. Cole, John Huber, Oscar Fincke, Gustave Neuberger, Samuel Martin and Adolph Gottschalk. The examination of the witnesses will be- gin this morning. Fallon shot and killed his wife, Agnes, in her room at 949 Mission street on the afternoon of April 1. They had been living apart and she had joined her fortunes with John Fleming, a cigar dealer. Fleming al- leges that Fallon did not object to his wife’s conduct. Temporary Insanity will probably be the plea. —_—————————— Epidemic at Almshouse. An epidemic of sickness at the Almshouse has aroused suspicion as to the drinking water there. The Health Board yesterday ordered a sample for anaylsis. The illness that has seized many of the city’s wards is not serious, but the number of pati- ents is increasing so rapidly that those in charge of the institution are confronted with a difficult problem. $12.00 lnd Upward <.
