18 JUST A LITTLE WAR OF WORDS Lawyer Fitzgerald in the Contra Costa Water Matter ATTACKS THE PLEADING Counsel “Thanks That He Anything About Oakland R M. Fitzgerald, counsel for the city of Oakland in the suit brought by the Costa Water Company, was esterday to make a rejoinder rtain remarks of W. B. Treadwell f the counsel for the water company, who was attacking ' the validity, and suffici v. of the city’'s answer. Mr. Fitzgerald said that the case had been turned over from one lawyer to 1 attorney who knew nothing e case except what he had » in the pepers filed in court, “and he jumps all over the case ignoring the citations of authdrities that we have made,” he added. answers are full-and-sufficient.” Mr. Treadwell made the facetious re- In one respect the counsel is un- vy right., and -that is when he says that-I-don't-know-amything about the case except what I saw in the pa- pers file It is true that that is all 1 yw- about it, and that is all that the master in chancery is permit- ted tc bout it. The gentlemen on the side seem to know a the case from their and. frgm conver- h they have had with cx know a about er, but, unfortunately for them, ase is not going to be decided by | things. It is true, also, that I know anything about Oakland, hank heaven that I don't.” 4 this gentle sidewinder Mr. Treadwe resumed his argument to show Master in Chancery HParm‘y that the answers filed by the city should be stricken out for insufficiency.

Whitehouse and | 3. 8. Strasburg, accused of obtaining | money by false pretense, and commit- | ted to the Superior Court by Police | Judge Fritz, it appeared that their de- | vice for entrapping unsophisticated in- vestment-seekers was reflective of both ingenuity in the planning and audacity in the operation. It consisted of a stereopticon advertising screen that Ed La Pierre, accused gf pilfering towels from the Hotel Langham, ex- plained that he was not a ‘“bell-hop,” as alleged by the prosecuting police- man, but an elevator boy, and then | Judge Cabaniss, in consideration of nightly commanded the attention of | the youth having had so many ups and | downs, fined him $20 instead of send- | g = < | ing him to jafl for pétty larceny.

At the time. of the alleged robbery, she averred, a gentleman was swinging her through the intricacies of the “bunny two-step” in a Paclfic street dance hall, whereof she is the acknowledged stellar attraction. This could be proved, she said, if the court would subpena Miss May Vernon, one of her Terpsichorean | associates; Leo, the accordionist; Lar- sen, the floor manager, and Billy, the| barkeep. Judge Mogan ordered that subpenas {ssue as suggested. Miss Parfitt’s male. consort, regis-| tered as Bob Parfitt, was arrested for vagrancy, and the court is considering his claim that he is a professional | | washer of carriages. . | | Katie Synfy, the terrible Turk who |.resisted arrest for fast driving, was | fined $50 by Judge Conlan, and in de- | fault of paying the same was sent to i jail for as many days.

Among the victims of the scheme was Herman Skillman of San Jose, who Sadie Williams, 17 years of age and ! very pretty, was charged with incorri- gibility by her mother, a comely ma- tron, whose physical charms were en- hanced in effectiveness by stylish and costly .apparel. She informed Judge T e e e caenting 1o | FTits that the girl evidently preferred him that about $500 a month was |loltering on the Barbary Coast to en- | | joying the comforts. of an excellent| home and deriving the benefits of ma- | ternal example and precept. No, sh(—} o B cleared from the advertisements dis- played, said representation being sup- ported by a display of contracts which subsequently turned out to be bogus. After his purchase Mr. Skillman as- cended to the roof of the building atop of which the screen was stretched, and there found Daniel Mack of Oro- ville, also asserting a proprietary in- terest in the enterprise. Mr. Skill-| man wanted to know what business | Mr. Mack had on the roof, and Mr. Mack retorted by ordering Mr. Skill- | | man to descend to the street. In the language of both gentlemen while | testifying before Judge Fritz, ‘“one word borrowed another” and fistic combat was imminent when Mr. Mack | averted it by producing the bill of sale which entitled him to a half interest | in the screen and its appurtenaces. When a similar document was shown | by Mr. Skillman the fellow victims shook hands and swore reprisal upon | their common deceivers. So they had Messrs. Whitehouse and Strasburg ar- | rested and charged as hereinbefore re- | lated, and' the police succeeded in find- | ing four other men each * of whom fondly imagined he owned one-half of | the proceeds of the screen.

Then the Judge continued the case until next Wednesday, advis- ing the mater to communicate with her opulent relatives in the meantime. . s e Frank Gullixson and Joshua Kap- kin, neither of whom has attained man's estate, were charged before Judge Cabaniss with robbing Henry Dunbar, residing at 24 Fourth street, of $300 last Tuesday night in the no- torlous Midway Plaisance on Market | street.

Judge Coffey granted the recuest of the contestant for an ad- journment till Monday in order that a deposition, taken in New York early in the week, may be produced, and also to give counsel opportunity to | prepare their arguments, which will begin as soon as the belated testimony is disposed of. The deposition is that of a man named Armand, who says that he saw Bertha Dolbeer climb through the win- dow on the ningh floor of the Waldort- Astoria Hotel and jump to her death in the airshaft. He had gone to the hotel to visit a woman relative who is employed there, and inasmuch as his presence was in violation of the rules of the Waldorf, he ran away and did not wait to render assistance. Because of the trouble that he might occasion the woman he went to call on, Armand explains, he was reluctant to come forward with his testimony, although he was the only person who, as he claims, was a witness to the fatality. It is by no means certain that Judge Coffey will admit Armand’s deposition at this late day. Counsel are expected to have another of their keen disputes on the law of evidence when the docu- ment is offered. In any event this deposition is all that stands in the way of the final struggle before the jury, when counsel will loose tongues in combat for the stakes in a $1,000,000 estate, “We shall not want more than two hours for argument,” came the an- nouncement from proponents in re- sponse to a query from Judge Coffey. “I shall open and close, but I have been in such confusion with my work that 1 am unable to say now how much time I shall want,” said Hiram Johnson. “I promise not to be a bore,” he added. McEnerney declared that no such as- surance was necessary, and this was the first note of good nature in the day’s proceedings. ETHEL ROCHE MAKES DENJAL. The proponents had announced the lose of their case early in the morn- | ing session, after the cross-examina- { tion of Willilam W. | which nothing | veloped, was ended. Johnson recalled Carson, important during was de- Miss Ethel Roche for cross-examina- tion and asked her if she had not made statements to Rachel Schander, daugh- ter of the contestant, to the effect that Bertha Dolbeer was ‘restless,” and had been very ill while in Paris the last few weeks of her life, The witness made denial. The attorneys began things as soon as the opened his case in rebuttal. “Call Miss Etta Marion Warren,” spoke up Johnson in stentorian tone. But the chief beneficiary, whose right to bequests aggregating $800,000 or more is to be decided by ‘he jury, in court. McEnerney ex- plained that she had gone home ill the day before, but that she would be on hand at 2 o'clock. Johnson then called Arthur H. Ba- rendt, who testified that Willam G. Mugan told him on the night the news <f Miss Dolbeer’'s death was received in San Francisco that he feared it was *“‘too true” that she had lost her mind, as intimated in the dispatches. Mugan had denied on the stand that he made the remark to the reporter. The contestant next sought to intro- duce the deposition of Theodore S. Rumney, offi manager for Laidlaw & Co. in New York, where Miss Dolbeer drew $800 against a letter of credit the morning of the day of her death. Coun- sel had heen growing more and more argumentative, but their talents were to enliven contestant | brought into full play as to the admis- sibility of the deposition. Bach side had taken Rumney's testimony. The contestant did not present in his case | in chief, and proponents contended |lhat he could not be allowed now to have it read in rebuttal; nor could he have his case reopened, for the deposi- tion was available when he was mak- ing out his case. LOOSES CURB ON LAWYERS. Johnson replied that he had reason- ably expected that proponents would e — ment and displeasure when the $10 fine was imposed, nor did she seem to be solaced by the court's remark that she might consider herself fortunate in getting off so cheaply. produce the~testimony, and now that they had failed to do so he thought he, was entitled to have it read either in rebuttal or as a part of his case, Judge Coffey had dismissed the jury Wwhileshe heard the heated arguments for fear things might be said to influ- ence the members unwarrantably. He has been curbing the atlornsys throughout the trial, but for the sake of variety, apparently, he allowed them one good round of urging and wordy contention. His ruling was for the pro- bonents, and the deposition was shut out. 1. On the opening of court In the after- noon Miss Warren was in attendance, accompanied by her nurse. D. F. Mul- lender’ was first called, however, to show that the photograph of Miss Dol- beer, which had been exhibited to the Jury, was taken in March, 1899, long before she began to develop melan- cholia, s contended by contestant. Frederick S. Moody, son of Mrs. J. L. Moody, the aunt of the testatrix who has allied herself with contestant, was placed on the stand to contradict Douglas Sloane Watson’s denials. The witness - declared it was true that shortly after the death of Miss Dolbeer Watson remarked that she “unques | tionably eommitted suicide.” concerning the will, the witness assert. ed. Watson denied having made them the stand early in the trial. RACHEL SCHANDER CALLED. Rachel Schander, a very pretty miss of 17 years, whose father is seeking be- tween $300,000 and $400,000 by his con- test of the will, declared that Miss Roche, her cousin, was at fault when earlier in the day she denied having said to witness that Bertha Dolbeer during her last stay in Paris. The attempt of the contestant to make a witness of Miss Warren proved unsuccessful. She took her place calm- 1y in the witness chair, but not a word did she utter other than her name, which Judge Coffey asked for. The ob- Jjection to every question that Johnson propounded was sustained. Again Mc- Enerney pointed out that she should have been called when the contestant was presenting his case at the begin- ning of the trial. Furthermore, her deposition had been taken and knowl- edge of her testimony was at all times in the possessidn of opponents. John- son insisted that he had reasonable ground to believe that the proponents would call her to the stand, and their having failed to do so gave him the right to make her a witness for the contestant. The attorney made a num- ber of declarations that all he was seeking was the truth, and he made a number of disparaging comments con- cerning the desire of proponents “to hide and conceal the facts.” Counsel were in continuous conflict. Johnson asked a number of questions as to whether or not Miss Dolbeer was not despondent and suffering from neu- resthenia and .other symptoms of in- sanity while she was in Paris, but the objections were sustained one after an- other. He concluded by asking permis- sion to reopen his case, but was re- fused. Then he sought to introduce her deposition, but this request was also denied. This closed the clever effort of the contestant to make his principal adversary a witness in his own behalf. —ee————— Spend Christmas With the Home Folks The Christmas season will soon be here.
