Victoria's EIopers Have

Mps. JAMESON INTERVIEWED
The Pretty Companion of Arthur
Turner Says She Will Marry Him
as Soon as She Is Divorced.

The two swell society people who eloped
from Victoria and came 10 San Francisco
silently stole away yesterday morning.
When Arthur Turner and his compan-
ion, Mrs. Lorkland P. Jane son. took pas
sage on the steamer Oregon, en- route from
Astoria to this city, they were on the pas
senger list as GA. Childs and wife" But
when the runaway pair stepped ashore In
San Francisco they cast the name OF
"Childs" behind them and took unto
themselves new title.
Mr.. Turner and NJ RS. Jameson did not
go directly 10 hotel when they dlsem-

When the couple finally decided to seek a

namely, those of ex-Mayor ShattucE. ex-
Sheriffs Morse and TyrreIl, Captain John

II. w. Carpenter. He began his volley
of oral reference to his affidavits by draw
ing attention to the one filed on behalf oil
the Southern Pacific by l. c. Wlngate. an
affiant who had attached his signature to
one for the defendants at frSt. and
whose affidavit for the railroad company
was in the nature of an explanation tnat
when he made the statement about the
wharf for the benefit of the defendants he
did not mean to be understood as intend
ing to say that it was free wharf; tor
tolls were collected there, and he had paid
them himself.
About as neat a point was that Of Mr..
Pringle when he endeav0red to show that
any legal steps to enjoln the defendants
from further "trespass" upon the wharf
were entirely unnecessary. Said he:
1--WE admit what has been done; we
don't admit that We intend to commit any
more trespass, as Is alleged, because there
is no more Of that kind Of trespass to be
done"
II caused a ripple of amusement among
the interested auditors.
The new affidavits offered by the city are
to show that tho Broadway wharf was al-
ways free public one until appropriated
by the Southern Pacific. one of the prin-
cipal atlantis being the purser of the old
opposition steamer Chin du Wan.

it was the city Of Oakland"
The Southern Pacific attorney, Albert
A. Moore, was the speaker, and with all
tho force he could command Of legal logic
he was endeavoring to persuade Judge
McKenna to let the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company get in certain affidavis on
the one hand and forbid tho city of Oak
land, Mayor George c. Pasdee ct al. from
putting in their affidavts on the other.
The affidavits which Mr.. Moore was
anxious TO have received have already
been noted in these columns There is a
big batch of them and they are in the
nature of additional affidayits to the two
original ones UPON which the railroad
company based its bill of co mplaint In its
present Injunction suit. Mr.. Moore con-
tended for them that they presented new
matter.
Mr. Moore was not taking the initiative
in the argument. but rather the responsive.

G.. B. HAGANS' DEATH.

The DeCecSed'S Mother Subjected to
a Severe Examination.
The preliminary examination Of Nellie
Horton. charged with the murder of
Charles B. Hagans, was continued before
Judge Campbell yesterday. DR.. Beatty
testified to attending the defendant one
time for extreme nervousness.
Mrs Hagans, the mother OF the deceased,
was theu subjected tosa long examination
by Attorney Heynemann. counsel for the
defendant. She admitted that she handed
a number of letters from the defendant to
her son to Attorney Rodgers. and after ar
gnment the court ordered that these letters
should be given to defendants attorney for
his inspection. Counsel said he would
prove that the deceased got money for four
years past from the defendant to give his
mother for board and lodging and other
things which he never gave to his mother.
Mrs. Hagans then testified that in July
or August, 1891. the deceased sent her
letter with $50, but she had received no
money from him after that date. She was
also asked particularly as to various dates
and various circumstances to show the
familiar terms between the defendant and
the Hagans family. She was under ex-
animation for over two hours and bore 1t

ing the railroad company's title to the
premises at The foot of Broadway.
During the morning session the lawyers
had been meeting reason with reason, and
it WAS shortly after the hours recess from
1to2P NJ. that Mr.. Moore uttered the
words quoted, and his flow 81 deductions
gave no Indications of ahating particularly
10 the strength of his r. Elections upon the
manner in which tho defendants had taken
possession of the Broadway wharf.
The words ''hish-handed" and multi
tude of people" were reiterated by Mr..
Moore again and again with an emphasis
that seemed to come from the inneTmost
parts Of his nature. Though it was only a
preliminary argument as to whether the
city should be prevented from getting IN
its affidavits and the railroad should sue
coed in getting in those upon its side. it
used I'D whole day for starter in the
great Oak land waterfront controversy. it
would seem, and incidentally the fine
point of contention as to whether 1t is a
question of mere title or one Of actual pos
session which was TO be discussed played
a most important part. Numerous author
tiles and precedents were cited by both
sides-indeed, Mr.. Cringle had come ap-
parently fully prepared for objections. for
his argument was in writing. Judge Nc
Kenna deferred his decision until this
morning, and he intimated that he might
not be ready then.
The case came ND in the United States

that there was any such decree as that
