Curran y witness stand in Judge room, after he had described the al- leged wedding of Charlottd Newman Collins and the defendant, at which he acted as groomsman. Judge Lennon thereupon questioned the witness re- garding the marriage and his answers howed that his recollection of the event was rather clouded. The principal feature of the session was the aggressive manner in which Collins plied the witnesses with ques- tions and placed his objections before the court. Several times during the forenoon Judge Lennon rebuked the de- fendant and one time threatened him with punishment for contempt. The court also censured the attorneys for prosecution. The prosecution attempted by the testimony of Curran, Dr. Adolph H. ahn and Henry B. Newman to prove that Collins and Charlotta Newman were married and that Collins intro- duced the woman as his wife. Collins objected to the questions on the ground that the prosecution In fits opening argument limited itself to proving his marriage with Charlotta by ceremony &nd not by repute or intro- duction. The prosecution claimed the right to combine the two methods and the ques- tions were admijted. with a reserva- tion by Judge Lennon that they shall be stricken from the record if found to be improper upon his inquiry into the authorities. After the testimony of Curran, Dr. Kahn of Napa, who attended the birth of the children at the Collins home, took the stand and told of his visits to the residence. He is certain that he attended Charlotta Colline and not Agnes, but could give no positive de- scription of difference in the appear- ance of the two sisters. He asserted that he belleved Agnes to have been the larger of the two. Henry B. Newman was the last wit- ness of the day and told of his only recollection of the marriage service, that the priest had pronounced his sister Charlotta and George D. Collins “man and wife.” Those three words are the only ones he remembers, as he was 12 years old at the time. The three words in sequence, “man and wife,” do not occur in the Roman Catholic marriage ceremony, sald Collins. Newman cpuld not swear that his sister Collins speaking about the fact. An adjournment was taken until 10 | o'clock to-day. —_———— alleged courtship of | = | DE HAVEN PLACES BLAME | FOR CONFUSING THE JURY Covert Reply of Court to Reported | Strictures of Treasury Solicitor in the Unger Cases. ‘ While the trial of Cress Unger was |in progress yesterday in the United States District Court, Judge de Haven, with a significant glance at counsel, |Temarked that during the two former | trials much firrelevant evidence had | been admitted that tended only to con- | fuse the jury and obscure the case. | The Judge added that he would have { ruled out such evidence if any objec- | tions had been made, but' that no ob- | jections having ,been heard the evi- dence was allowed to come in.

CRAWFORD. “We're from St. Petersburg,” said the ‘Count Dolgourouki, speaking for himself and wife, to Police Judge Conlan. “And at this critical period in that same St. Petersburg it s a very good place | for titled aristocracy to be from,” quoth | his Honor, quite pleasantly. | | | | had given | questioning | birth to a child and did not remember 4 i { | | | “Ah, yes,” the Count gravely rejoined; “St. Petersburg s the very unhappy place. Our little chicken farm at Fruit- | vale 1s the much-to-be-preferred home.” “Ah, indeed, yes,” smilingly concurred the Countess. “On that small chicken farm I very contented am.” But the testimony for the prosecution of the Count and Countess did not tend to bolster her claim of complete content with life at Fruitvale. They were charged with having disturbed the peace, and the evidence went to show that it was the lady's resistance of her husband's endeavor to compel her return to the chicken ranch that led to their arrest. Among the humble acquaintances of the Countess {s & Mrs. Shannon, who dwélls on Ritch street, between Bryant and Brannan, and on Monday morning the Countess left her noble husband and feathered treasures and crossed the bay to visit Mrs. Shannon. So protracted was her absence that the Count finally fol- lowed her to the house of Shannon, where he found her exchanging gossip with the chatelaine and imbibing liquid stimu- lants. Shocked by his consort’'s volun- tary abandonment of dignity befitting her title and station, he angrily commanded her to accompany him back to the fowl farm, but she firmly declined to do so, in which revolutionary procedure she was enthusiastically aided and abetted by her hostess. “While husbands may be allowed to bully-rag their wives in Russia,” the ex- cellent matron is reported to have said, “thank goodmess, they can’t.cut no such didoes and get away with ’em in this country.” ‘When the Count grasped an arm of the Countess with intent to enforce his com- mand, her other arm was grasped by Mrs. Shannon, and the lady was being vigor- ously pulled and hauled by the contest- ants for possession, when a policeman stopped the tug-of-war and arrested the Count and his spouse. The Judge dis- missed the complaints. The Count’s right to his title was in- cidentally - questioned {n" court, produced documents to prove it, and they ‘were honored. He was not exiled from his native Russia, he declared, nor was he impelled to leave it by fear of the revo- lutionists, as the nation was compara- tively placid when he decided that the raising of hens in America would be a more secure, if less exciting, career than that of herding serfs in the land of his fathers. Hence his emigration. The Countess seemed to regard the court proceeding in the light of a joke, for she alternated smiles and giggles until the Judge threatened to commit her for contempt if she did not display more decorum. Then she smothered her ebullitions of mirth in a dainty handkerchief. Aside from their - title, there was nothing strikingly Indicative of aris- tocracy about the Dolgourouskis. The Countess, aged about 50, was mod- estly garbed and wore glasses, and the Count, about five years her . senior, would pass muster anywhere as a small shopkeeper. * e . J. M. Estrada of 1420% Powell street was shaking dice for drinks with some friends in a saloon at 1500 Powell street, when an apparently intoxicated stranger lounging at the bar affection- ately hugged him and pronounced him a good fellow. When the intrusive in- ebriate was shaken off he dlsappeared and soon afterward Mr. Estrada dis- covered that his watch ‘and chain, valued at $70, was also missing. Sus- picion, of course, instantly attached to the departed embracer and a descrip- tion of him was furnished to a police- man, who arrested one Incas Gonzales as the person wanted, and Mr. Estrada identified the prisoner as the man who had hugged him. ‘When the case was on in Judge Mo- gan's court the missing watch and chain were still missing and Mr. Estrada could not positively swear that they were taken from him by the de- fendant. The defense will have an in- ning to-morrow. v e . Soon after he had ordered John P, Joyce, John Bustinday and Frank White, chronic vagrants, to depart from his beat on Kearny street north, Patrolman Nelson’s attention was at- tracted by sounds of conflict emanating from Hop Guy's saloon on Jackson street, near to<Kearny, and therein he found the three vagabonds aforenamed prostrate and engaged in conflict, with Hop Guy frantically endeavoring to tear them asunder. . In the court of Judge Frits it was disclosed that the cause of the fight was Mr. Bustinday’s unfair division of 5 cents’ worth of Chinese gin, he hav- ing appropriated as his own share of the liquid a8 much as he allotted to both his companions. When remon- strated* With he argued that as he had obtained - from & misgulded philan- thropist the price of the gin he was entitled to more than one-third of the latter, and to that attitude he firmly adhered, despite the earnest pleading of Messrs. Joyce and White that in a three-cornered combine such as they had entered into with him there should be no discrimination in division of the profits. Who struck the first blow was not revealed, but the odds of combat were two to one against Mr. Bustinday when the policeman Intervened. The trio vu.flven thirty days. . . Alarmed by the lxequ‘no’y of re- ported burglaries and highway rob- beries since the winter set in, Mrs. George Mott instructed her husband, a carpenter, to arm himself with a re- volver and keep it ever in readiness for instant use, as she “felt it in her bones" that he was destined to be wayiald by footpads or the Mott home was to be entered by burglars, and she could not possibly have ease of mind until she was assured that some means of pro- tectlon against the highwaymen or the been adopted. u';g:lhmn had con] dutifulness Mr. Mott “forty-two and a box purchased a but he| A POLICE COURT.

Ere a week had passed, however, he realized that the revolver must go. “There's just this about it, George s Mott,” sald his better half, “you must get rid of that thing, for I'm nervous all day while it's in your pocket and I can’t sleep a wink at night while it's under your pillow.” “Why?” was the natural inquiry. *“Because I'm afrald it’ll go off and kill you,” was the reply. - “But the robbers?’ Mr. Mott exclaimed, Anterrogatively. “I don’t care,” the good lady declared. ‘‘One would rather be robbed a hundred times than have one's husband shot through his pocket. or from under his pillow. Why you. aidn’t think of that be- fore you bought the dreadful thing I'm sure I don’t know. You might have known that my nerves could never stand you having it where it might kill you. Some men never think of anybody else's comfort than their own.” Being a benedict of some years’ stand- ing and strongly possessed of the philoso- phy that s acquired with marital experi- ence, Mr. Mott uttered no retort, but softly sighed and went forth to find a purchaser for the pistol. How he came to be arrested late that same night in the Tonopah dance hall was explained to Judge Mogan by Patrolman Stelzner, who stated that when he entered the temple of Terpischore, In response to summons from the floor manager, he saw Mr. Mott brandishing the revolver and directing four frightened couples through the in- tricacles of a quadrille. His commands ‘were delivered in such rapid succession as to bewllder the dancers, but the; obeyed as well as they could, for t! glistening six-shooter was ever pointed in‘ their direction. They were about ready to gollapse of mingled dread and fatigue when the prompter was disarmed and arrested. ““What did you mean by it?" the Judge asked Mr. Mott, who replled that he was drunk, and then, In explanation of the cause of his drunkenness, unfolded the story hereinbefore narrated. He was dismissed on the spot. .. The battery of which Thomas Horan stood accused before Judge Conlan was committed on the evening of July 30 last, and the delay in bringing the case to hearing was variously explained to his Honor, but the fates, as brought out in testimony, were these: On the evening in question Mr. Horan, who dwells at Bryant and Blanken streets, was engaged in political discus- slon with John Littjen of 11781, Harrison street, the arena of debate being a bar- room at Ninth and Harrison gtreets. Heated argument gave way to physical combat, with this result: Mr. Littjen, jaw broken. Adult male bystander, nose broken. Another adult male bystander, broken. Mr. Horan, arrested for battery and transferred from the City Prison to the Emergency Hospital to undergo remedias treatment for delirlum tremens. The most plausible excuse for the ajla- toriness of Mr. Horan’s arraignment was contained in the statement that the male adult bystander with the broken leg could not be safely dismissed from the hospital untll a few days ago. ‘Now that you've heard the evidence,” said Mr. Littjen, in patronizing tone to the Judge, “‘you can use your own judg- ment."” “Your condescension . is appreciated," was the response, “but I'd like to hear some more testimony and, ifyyou permit me to do so, T will continue the hearing till next Thursday.” “Oh. that's all right; you're just as able to decide as I am,” was Mr. Litt- jen's magnanimous admission. “A thousand thanks,” murmured his ‘Henor. leg Frank Worthsmith and Albert Quill, 14-year-old burglars who were alleged to have been encouraged in crime by an ex- convict named Donovan, were sent to the Juvenile Court. : e e Seventeen-year-old . Katherine Shaw, who came from British Columbia to seek employment and became the slave of a vagabond named Arthur Howett, was sent to a reformatqry institution by Judge Mogan, ywho announced his inten- tion to sentence the author of the child's ruin to six months’ imprisonment for vagrancy. 5 —_————— Lash's Kidney and Liver Bitters re- moves uric acid from | by dis- solving thn-:rlo &Wi’ ® JONES TELLS OF WILD TINE Ex-United States Senator Relates How John Flem- ming Bluffed Out Nevills REFERS TO HIS WEALTH Venerable Nevadan Says That He Once Had More Money Than He Could Count The years welgh heavily upon ex-United States Senator John P. Jones, yet his recollegtions of his achievements in the world of finance and statesmanship are unclouded. This fact was demonstrated yesterday, when he appeared before Judge Murasky to testify in the suit in- stitute. by him and Willlam A Nevills against John and Willlam Flem- ming and the heirs of the late Willlam Nichols to recover §150,000, alleged to be due on a contract for the purchase of one-half of the stock in the Amador Tunnel, Milling and Mining Company. Asked why {t was that some of the details of the transactions involving the agreement in issue had escaped his mind the venerable Senator sald: “They have escaped my mind becauss.I paid no attention to them at the time. My only interest in ‘the transaction here involved amounted to but $30,000, and then I pald no attention to that. Why, I had S0 much money then that I could not count it, so I told Nevills that anything he thought was right was right. He pre- pared the papers, asked me to sign them and I did.” It is the contention of Senator Jones and Nevills that it was the refusal of the defendants, especially. Flemming, now de- ceased, to agree to the levying of an as- sessment on the stock to ralse money for development work and to build a mill that necessitated the shutting down of the properties of the company. The means adopted by Flemming to prevent the levying of this assessment were graphically described by Senator Jones: “It was back In the early days,” he sald, “when we were called to a meeting to be held at the officés of the company at Montgomery and California streets. I was late in arriving, and just as I en- tered the room Flemming engaged in a row with Nevills. “Flemming was a very sick man and physically no match for Nevills, but the fact that he kept his right hand in his pocket convinced me that he would shoot if the occasion arose. He called Nevills the most extraordinary names and con- cluded by saying: ‘I will kill you if you fool with me any more.’ “Seeing that there was no possible chance of reaching an agreement, with Flemming cursing and swearing at Nev- ills, I' got between the men and finally induced - Nevills to go into the corridor with me. I went back Into the room, and the meeting adjourned without action.” Senator Jones then told of the efforts made by Nevills to sell the mine in Lon- don, and of the refusal of the defendants to. treat with him in furtherance of this plan. He dentifled the agreements upon which the suit was instituted and was then excused from the stand. More tes- timony en behalf of the plaintiff will be heard ay. —_———— JAMES O'DONNELL MAKES s SIGNIFICANT ADMISSION Says He Did Not Know He Was Heir of Honora Sharp Until Law- yer Told Him. When the late Mrs. Honora Sharp dled, Joseph O’'Donnell, her cousin, who is now. contesting her will In Judge Coffey’s department of the Superior Court, d1d not know that she had ever existed. This Interesting fact was developed yesterday during the trial of the con- test through admissions made by O’'Donnell himself in a deposition. In the deposition he said that the first he ever knew that he was related to Mrs. Sharp was when an attorney named Sweeney of Boston informed him that an attorney named Tonicliffe of Kan- sas City had dlscovered that he, O’'Donnell, was a cousin of Mrs. Sharp. O'Donnell further admitted that he signed an agreement by which he was to give the lawyers 650 per cent of everything they recovered, the other half of the estate to go to O'Donnell and ‘any other relatives that might be found.

After trial occupy- ing many days the case was submitted to a jury yesterday and a unanimous verdict in favor of Mrs. Bell was found. The jury also found In favor of Mrs. Bell on special issues submitted for its decislon. One of these was to the ef- fect that Dr. Kearney improperly pro- cufred an order from Mrs. Bell directing the executors of her ‘late husband's *lwill to pay him $25,000, and another was to the effect that a quantity of the family silverware Dr. Kearney assert- ed Mrs. Bell gave him in part payment for his services was in fact only given him for safe keeping.

Santa Ana, Orange County, and the Santa Santa Paula, Ventura County, to carry on a general banking basi- ness in thelr respective cities. The capital subscribed in both cases is $25,000, of which one-half has been paid up. Shortly after she had been awakened to Attenyd the funeral of her husband, Isaac W. Raphael, yesterday morning, Mrs. Louisa Raphael was found uncon- sclous in her room from the effects of carbolic acid poisoning. She dled just an hour before the time set for the interment of her husband's remains. It is supposed that she swallowed the acid, mistaking it for cough medicine. Mrs. Raphael had been nursing her husband through a long illness, and the shock of his death nearly pros- trated her. She had been going almost without sleep for many nights, and the theory of the mistake seems logleal The bottle containing the poison and the one that held the cough medicine were similar In size and shape. Mrs. Raphael reached for the medicine in a dimly lighted room and took the bottle of poison instead. She poured out a tablespoonful and drank it. When help reached her she was unconscious. Dr. M. R. Gibbons was summoned immedlately, but when he reached the Raphael home, 1705 Gough street, Mrs. Raphael was beyond medical ald. A few moments after the physiclan ar- rived she had gone to join ti husband to whom she had been so 4 iy at- tached. Friends who had gathered at the house to attend the funeral of Isaac W. Raphael were greatly shocked by the double sorrow. Mrs. Raphael was 46 years old and a native of Germany. She was mar- ried to the well known clothing mer- chant about twelve years ago. An In- quest will be held at the house to-day and the devoted wife will be lald to rest beside her husband to-morrow In the Raphael plat In Hills of Eternity Cemetery. “I can only belleve,” said Julius Ra- phael yesterday, “that my step-mother's| death was due to a terrible accident. I knew her too wel and I know all the at- tendant circumstances too well to give a moment’s consideration to any other | theory.” After a hurried council of the doubly ' bereft family it was decided to proceed with the ‘funeral of the dead merchant without delay. At 10 o'clock the services ‘were held in the residence, 1706 Goush | street, Rabbl Nieto officiating. Besides the family, there were present many of their friends, not a few of whom had long been personally and intimately a tached to the dead man.
