The FIFTH DAY.
More Witnesses Sworn in the
Trial of Howard Kicker.

More Witnesses Sworn in the
Trial of Howard Kicker.
The fifth day OF the trial of Howard
Kicker for the alleged embezzlement of
S47 from Mrs. P. j. E Clementson began
yesterday morning, with Kicker on the
stand and under cross examination by
Assistant County Attorney Nye.
Kicker gave his testimony in the same
calm. collected manner as on direct eX-
animation and Mr.. Nye failed to tangle
him up. AS to why he had been so
willing to settle the matter when ac-
cused by ClementsOn he explained that
he did not intend that as final settle
ment. His plan was TO prevent any
scandal until he had time to explain
the matter TO his intended wife and
afterwards fight it out.
Prof. C.. G. Curtis was then called
to give evidence for the defense as an
expert in matters pertaining to hand
writing. He went into whole lot of
technical explanation of vanishing
lines" which cut such a figure in the
COLON trial, and illustrated his mean
ing on the blackboard. The sum of his
testimony Was that the disputed entries
were not the work of Kicker; that two
lines were shown in some figures; that
the paper gave evidence of having had
some rubbing substance applied to it;
that the entries had been evidently
fixed mp by some one.
Mrs. John Carlson and Mrs. Kicker
testified relative to the receipt given for
the key TO Clementson's store when
Kicker left his employ. The receipt
had been seen by them on Oct. 2, the
date of the receipt, while Hegg. Glenn
entson's clerk, swore that he did not get
the key until the Sd. John Carlson.
Ricker's father-in-law, swore that Glenn
entson had offered to withdraw
the criminal prosecution provided
Kicker would have dismissed the civil
suits against Clementson. Part of his
evidence, relative to ClementsOn's call
at the Carlson residence later and to his
being intoxicated. was corroborated by
Inga johnson, a domestic in Carlson's
house. She could not talk English, and
an interpreter in the person of o. A.
OgStad was sworn in.

WIGHAM'S REPLY.
He Claims That the Charge of Forgery
Is Revengeful.

A strange story is told by William Wig
ham, former employee of the ex-city
engineer, Stixrud, who is now in the
county Jail charged with forgery. Wig
ham WAS one of Stixrud's accountants and
II was through his information that the
ex-city engineers official action was called
in question. He was arrested few days
ago on a warrant sworn out by E. g.
Macomber, also former employee of the
ex-city engineer, charging him with for
gerry. Wigham was given a preliminary
examination before Justice Won Tobel
Thursday and was held to appear for trial
in the superior court with bonds fixed at
$500. He did not give bonds and went to
Jail, where he was interviewed last even
ing by PosT-fNTELLIGENcER reporter.
Wigham claims that the proceedings
that led 10 his arrest and his imprisonment
are due to an effort 10 "Get even" with him

PERILOUS VOYAGE OF LONG AGO.
Richard Edouard's Memento of His
First Trip to the Coast.

The schooner Iva. which cleared Sandy
Hook in November of 50 for the long
voyage around Cape Horn to San Fran
cisco, carried as cabin boy Richard
Edouard. French lad. He had been
shanghaied for his tirst voyage, which was
to prove memorable one. The trip to the
Azores was remarkable for the length of
time occupied the Iva being becalmed for
several days. Of Fayal, one of the group.

she was discovered by rebel man-ot-war.
which gave chase. The pursuit lasted for
two days. On the second night came a
squall, which proved the Iva's salvation.
Tor during II the rebel ship was lost sight
OF. The schooner continued on her
course, rounding the Horn while her
English captain was celebrating the
queens birthday, May "A. Six weeks
later she dropped anchor inside the Golden
Gate, having been at sea seven months
and ten days. probably the longest time
ever required for a yoya. e from New York
to San Francisco.
Richard Edouard is now a resident of
Seattle, having abandoned the seas, but of
hlS many voyages none are more LrmIy
hXed IN memory than his first one around
the Horn. He still retains his love for all
things nautical, and has recently occupied
his leisure hours in building a miniature

A NEEDED REFORM.
Why Taxes Should Be Paid Before
Deeds Are Filed,

1.-The plan suggested by the Chamber of
Commerce committee ofrequiring certin-
cate that all taxes are paid on a piece of
real estate before deed of it can be hled, is
a good one said Senator Trusten p Dyer.
"Were such law enforced an immense
amount of trouble would be saved. For
instance, have just had a case of client
of mine in Washington City who thought
he had bought piece of land, but found
that last year it had been sold for taxes.
''Such law would be difficult to enforce
with the county officers in different build
ings, and huddled and inconyenient. But
after the offices are all in the same build
ing-that is, in the new county court
house-we might make beginning"
