Lloyd, the defend- |ant In the suit brought against him by the six cousins of the late Isabella Levy for a share in the estate which she deeded to him, was placed on the stand late yesterday afternoon in Judge Sea- well’s court by the counsel for the plain- tiffs. Merely preliminary questions were asked the defendant and his presence on the stand was used by his opponents for the purpose of iIntroducing documentary evidence. In the morning session Mrs. Mathilda Velller, a cousin of Isabella Levy and one of the contestants, was placed, on the stand and direct examination was con- ducted by Attorney Matt Sullivan. She was later in the morning subjected to a severe grilling by Attorney Charles S. | Wheeler for the defense and under his cross-examination became somewhat con- | fused and contradicted herself several times. > & In order to bring these contradictions | about Wheeler quoted excerpts from a | deposition made by the witness in Attor- ney Alexander Heynemann's office on ‘ January 20 last and succeeded in bringing about the desired confusion. Later, upon | redirect, she was asked other questions | from the deposition by Sullivan tending | to place her evidence aright. During a | greater part of the afternoon the bulk of the deposition dealing with the phase of | the case that is belng trled was read into the record by Attorney Charles F. Hanlon, subject to constant objections by the defense on the ground that much | was hearsay. | Mrs. Mathilda Veiller testified to the | conversation held in Heynemann's office | at which the other plaintiffs were present, in which the attorney told her that an aunt of Isabella had been found and | that the cousins had no claim to the | property. At first she denied that she | knew the existence of this aunt before | she made her settiement with Lloyd, but was confronted with her statement in the deposition that she was told about an aunt by her brother. She then corrected | herself and sald it was after the settle- | ment was made. She further swore that it was long after the settlement that | | doubts came into her mind about the “ legitimacy of Isabella Levy. DID NOT READ LETTER. | She then sald that she saw a letter at | | the house of Jonas Mock, a contesting | | cousin. written to the witness' father by | Marie Antoinctte Levy, the mother of | Isabella, in which it was acknowledged | | by the mother that her husband, Ferdi- | |nand Levy, was not the father of Isa- | | bella. This testimony was objected. to as hearsay, as the witness sald she merely saw and did not read the letter. The let- | ter itself appears to have mysterfously | | disappeared, féither Slde claiming to | know its whereabouts, | On cross-examination a vein of gloomy humor was developed when Attorney | | Wheeler began questioning the witness | | about a visit with Isabella to the grave- {yard in which Isabella’s mother was | ! The questions were asked with | | the intention of making the witness ad- | | mit that graven on the tombstone was a | statement. that Marie Levy was the wife |of Ferdinand Levy and mother of Isa- | bella Levy, It was also attempted to | show that an inscription referring to | | Isabella as the daughter of Ferdinand | and Marie Levy, with the date line blank, | was also on the tombstone. | “I object to the testimony on the | ground that it is hearsay,” cried Sulli- | van. “I think,” said his Honor, sustaining | the objection, “that a tombstone is the best evidence qf its contents. Have you the tombstone In court?” “This is a grave matter,” sald Hanlon, “and we demand a certified copy of the inseription.” Hanlon’s pun put an end to further questioning along that line. Further cross-examination by Wheeler in regard to the letter the witness saw established | the fact that she did not read the letter and knew nothing of 'its contents. The redirect and recross-examination con- sisted of questions read from the witnes: deposition, and she left the stand at noon. | | DEPOSITION IS READ. In the afternoon came two solld hours of reading of extracts of the deposition, covering substantially the testimony given by Miss Loulse Velller, the wit- ness’ daughter, the substance of which | was told yesterday in The Call. After | the reading was ended the defendant waa | | placed on the stand. | 1In his preliminary statement Liloyd tes- tified that he had practiced law con- tinuously since 187. Sullivan then | branched into the purpose of calling him |to the stand. The plaintiff's counsel | brought forward Lloyd's petition for the probate of Isabella Levy's will, filed soon after the death of Isabella. In this peti- tion Leon, Samuel and Sylvain Levy and Mrs. Mathilda Velller are mentioned as the only heirs. Sullivan attempted to prove that these were the only heirs Licyd knew of at the time, showing that an aunt was unknown. The questioning was objected to by Wheeler. Before hearing argument on the ques- tion Judge Seawell declared an adjourn- ment until 10 o'clock Monday morning. — e Brings Alexander Back. Detective Silvey arrived from Los An- geles yesterday morning with Lawrence O. Alexander, who will appear before Judge Lawlor today. Alexander was convicted of a charge of perjury, but was ‘allowed to go on probation by Judge Lawlor. He had 'sworn when getting a license to marry a young girl in the Mission that he was a single men. He had been married just a few months previous. e went to Los An- goles, where he passed several worth- less checks, for which he was arrested, but was allowed to go on parole for a year. When his photograph came here from Los Angeles it was recognized and Judge Lawlor issued a bench war- rant for his arrest. —_———— Dies From Blood Poisoning. Policeman Horace G.

MAKES CHARGE OF PERJURY. “I never saw the woman,” sald Horton, “and never spoke to her. She is making charges of which she personally knows nothing, and I may have her arrested for perjury.” Horton treats the whole affalr lightly, saying that he did not coerce Hiester into paying the $80 he owed, but that Hiester discharged the obligation voluhtarily. The afidavit was brought to the Mayor's office by Mrs. W. A. Hiester. It was in a sealed envelope marked “Mayor Schmitz, Personal,” and as the Mayor was not in at the time none of the at- taches would open it. Hiester stated that he intended to lay the matter before District Attorney Léng- don with a view to securing an indictment of Horton by the Grand Jury. Horton makes counter accusations against Hiester to the effect that the lat- ter, after securing printing contracts from the city, would assign the warrants com- ing to him to money brokers and then put the demands in the name of Miss Phillips so the money could not be paid to the brokers by the Auditor. HIESTER FOOLS BROKERS. In substantiation of his charge Horton produces three assignments made by Hiester on contracts. One is for $400 on the contract for printing the transcript in the Leon Saeder case, which Hiester assigned on March 13, 195, to the City and County Bank. The same amount on the same contract was also assigned on June 30, 1905, by Hiester to J. Bler & Co., money brokers. On May 1, 1905, Hiester made an assignment to Bler & Co. of his contract for the printing of the transcript of the case of the People vs. Pe‘:d in (:e sum of .50. The money on these con- tracts ';::1““ to Miss Phillips, Auditor Horton says. The money lenders must whistle for the amount of their loans, as no demands on the city are presented pay- able to Hiester, so payment cannot be withheld under the assignments. Deputy Auditor Berger says that the demand for $1114.20 was paid last Tuesday, the very day that the authorizatlon for the same came down from the Board of Supervisors. Deputy Daniel Leary denles that he accompanied Hiester to the Treas- urer’s office when the latter cashed the demand, but says that Hiester called ‘him out of the Auditor's office when he paid Leary the $60 due. FALLS FROM ROOF OF NEW BUILDING AND IS KILLED Roy Allen, Carpenter's Appreatice, Meets Death at Central Park Skating Rink. Roy Allen, a carpenter’s apprentice, fell forty feet from the roof of the building being erected at Central Park for a skating rink yesterday afternoon and died in a few minutes. The am- bulance was' sent for to the Central Emergency Hospital, but before it ar- rived Allen had breathed his last and the body was removed to the Morgue by Deputy Coroner Burke. ‘Allen had been employed at the bulld- ing for two days. He and some ‘nh-r- were hurrying a truck loaded ' with joists along the roof, Allen being on the outside edge, looking iInto an alley off Eighth street. Suddenly the truck turned sharply and Allen was knocked oft the roof and the truck and joists followed him. The deceased was only 22 years of age apd lived at 1135% Mission street. He used to complain about his heart troubling him and the foreman yester- day morning tried to advise him to go home. It is thought that he might have been seized with an attack of heart fail- ure and clutched at the joists, causing the truck to swerve around. ———————— Faint-hearted ldvern&l:‘-—wmchq.:. usuall; erely non-continuous or . nmeln’n'tmiflv-’tflfln no better for our store than is t-hearted wooing or a suitor. l WONAN'S CRIT SAVES HUSBAND Frail Wife Fights Desperate- ly With Antone Rivo for Possession of a Shotgun Struggling against the despondent rage of a half-mad man, Mrs. Antone Rivo, a sickly woman, fought desperately with her husband yesterday evening, to prevent him ending his life. Rivo, out of work, two'sick children and a wife de- pendent upon his earnings, tried to end his existence. His falthful wife deterred him frem carrying out his threats and finally, when melancholia sejzed the man with renewed vigor, the intrepld little woman fought frantically for the life of her spouse. Rivo, a Frenchman, lives in South San Francisco. In his little cottage at 1158 Fifth avenue, South, he has fought day and night with the ghost of melancholy. Of late he has been out of employment. Try as he would, the unfortunate man could not earn enough to feed his bables. Sickness visited the tots, who are but 3 and 4 years of age, respectively. Yesterday morning Rivo, who wished to assist his sickly wife, started to get breakfast. He overturned a skillet of melted grease, severely burning his hands and arms. This capped the climax. With the seared flesh extending almost down to his bones, Rivo saw nothing ahead but inability to work and starvation for his loved ones. Then he resigned himself to the deed of suicide. Three times yester- day he told his wife of his intention. Three times he loaded the old muzale- loading gun and as many times emptied the weapon of its charge, when s wife pleaded with him and succeeded in turn- ing from his mind the one thought of self-destruction. At nightfall his troubled mind resolved firmly upon the end. He carefully stole from the presence of his wife and again loaded the time worn lock-plece. Ac- curately ailming the weapon, Rivo sat down in a chair and in a moment would have found the death he courted, had not his wife rushed into the room. A terrible struggle ensued. Mrs. Rivo knocked the gun from its position, and, seizing her spouse’s arms, clung desperately on, cry- ing wildly for help. For full ten minutes they swayed back and forth on the floor of the scantily furnished room. Rive of- fered no attempt to strike his wife, but fought only for the possession of the shot- gun. Fainting from her exhaustion, the woman was about to drop in a swoon, ‘when “Big Bill” Kavanaugh, driver of the Potrero Hospital ambulance, heard her screams and rushed into the house to her | ald. He pinloned the arms of the frenzied Frenchman and took him to the hosph tal.
