When the case of the Regents of the ! University of California against the { ic Surety Company to recover !$5000 on the bond of the former secre- 'tary, W. A. McKowen, came up’ for i trial this morning before Judge S. P. Hall, the statement was made by At- torney C. E. Snock that he had been unable to find the b-nd and that he! had been greatly hindered in the prep-t aration of the case in consequence. It was said by Attorney F. P. Deer- | ing for the surety company that the main point of disagreement between his client and the regents was that the . | company was not responsible longer than three months after the expiration of the bond, while on the part of the university it is said that it was stipu- lated’ in the bond that the time limit was six months. At this juncture former Expert J. J. Herr made the announcement that Mrs. A. S. Hallidie he thought can tell where the missing document is. Her husband was the chairman of the finance committee of the Board of Regents and he had the bond. On his | death Mrs. Hallidie turned it over to some person, from whom she took a receipt. McKeowen's defalcation was discovered about five months after the bond had expired and if the bond can be found the State may be gainer to the extent of $5000. Court was imme- diately adjourned and Attorney Snook was given opportunity te try to re= cover the missing document.
