mOny. having nothing to do with the case.
! His objections, however, were overruled
/ and exceptions noted.
The secand will, al present sought TO be
established, was then produced and shown
to Mr.. Pond, who pronounced it as bis
opinion that the document was rot in the
handwriting of Henry Martin. Then came
some rather more important questions.
''Mr. POND. did you have any converse
tons with Mr.. Martin concerning this
child, John b. Martin Jr. ?"
Yes, l had a conversation once with
Mr.. Martin just after his return from
Alaska. The matter cropped up in a talk
with reference to a claim against John
Martins estate. Mr. Martin then said he
had got things so fixed that the child
would not get any portion OF his property.
when did these conversations take
placer"
II cannot give the exact date, but as far
as | remember they were between Angus t
], 1892, and the death of John 3. Martin.
1t was at one of these conversational
think the last one-he spoke of this child
and said he didn't think il was his
brothers child. He said he had under
stood that Mrs. John 3. Martin had
stated that John Martin was not the
father"
MIR. Pond said that his last converse
before bis death. His wife was so seri-
ousiy i'll that she was expected to die at any
moment. Martin spoke of the place where
he wished his wife inferred. He did not
think of his own approaching death at
that time. Martin spoke of his will and
also of his wfe's, telling the witness that
both documents were alike. On that oc-
casiOn Martin made use of these words !:
Had May only lived she would have car
ried out my wishes" He spoke, of
course, with the firm conviction that his
wife was on her deathbed.
The witness was crOss-examiDed by
Grove L. johnson. He said he was 90
years of age and had lived number OF
years in san Francisco.
"Mr. Pond, how much of your own money
have you spent in this case?"
None, Sir, was the indignant reply.
How much Of the estates money have
you spent?"
The witness replied that be could not
tell, but would produce the books if re-
quired. Ii did not amount TO $4,000, but
$4,000 about represented the amount.
Whenever his attorneys called upon him
he pald money from time to time. He did
not pay them all they asked. however.
You made no objections, though, did
you?"
"Oh, yes, I did. / made very serious
objections. Mr.. Rodgers and Mr.. Mere
dith were my attorneys at the time and
they called on me about money matters"
The witness said be first heard of the
present contest when he received COM
munlcation from William Martin, brother
OF tie deceased. He was at Castle Crag at
that time.
Did you expend any money in exhum-
ing the body of John Martini"
Not that l know or"
What do you mean by Not that l

don't know whether you did or not?"

two days ago, although he had seen what
purported TO be photographs OF II. He
had seen it, however, and had no hesita-
ton in proclaiming it TO be forgery
The second will was then handed TO Mr..
Pond. Like the first, it purported to be a
Photographic will, dated four days prior tC
Martins death, and read as follows:

and testament.

The remaining third OF my property desire
to have equally divided between my brother

In the event of the death OF my wife, desire
that her interest in my estate should be equally
divided between my heirs.

1898. HENRY MARTIN.
Mr.. Pond said he could not be brought
to regard this document as anything other
than a forgery. He did not believe that
Henry Martin ever signed any such docu-
ment.
The court took recess at this time, and
on resuming two jurors expressed desire
to be satisfied upon one point. Were John
3. Martin and John B. Martin Jr. one
and the same person? They we're an
swered in the affirmative. Then one juror
started IN to give the court a little advice
as to The order of proceeding with the
trial, but the judges usual good nature
gave way little under this, and Mr.. Ru-
iofson-that was the jurors name-was
compelled to resume his seat in dignlted
silence Mr.. Pond was then recalled to
tho vvitpocs chair ann his direct pXamlna-
tiOn resumed.
Mr.. Pond went on to further identify
the document known as the original will,
with the envelope that contained it. when
found in the deed box belonging to the
deceased.
Grove L. johnson raised a whole string
of objections to all this testimony as being

Ii your attorneys had suggested tDe sehu-
ing of man to Kamscnatka would you
have sent him."
No. 1 suppose not ! only did what L
| thought right"
Mir. Pond was severely questioned by
johnson with reference to the lnseruon
by himself of certain articles In the news
papers having reference to Mrs. Isabella
Martin and this case. He denied having
anything to do with such articles, OF W
having ever submitted to an interview on
the subject. 1t was, true that ne pro-
nounced this so-called second Will LOT,
gerry before he had ever seen It, DE relied
on what his attorneys told him. lie was
very onfident that no such will exlsted.
MIR. Pond admitted that he took an IN
tereSt in the case as an individual as wen
as an administrator. He denied. however,
that his judgment was in any way lnnn-
enced thereby. He knew Mrs. Martin
her, that was all. Then the witness was
examined as to his reasons for pro-
nouncing the second will forgery He
said he knew Henry Martins handwrit-
ing very well, and had received severa!
business letters from him. He had several
times borrowed money from the deceased.
THAT was about the only business you
had with Mr.. Martin, wasn't it?" sug-
geSted johnson.
"Oh, no." replied Mr.. Pond, coolly.
"Well. you owe the estate some money
now, don't yOu?"
yes; $4,000. 1 shall be pleased to pay
the money at any time"
Mr.. Pond was then asked to point out
Irregularities in the second will. lie said
the general appearance of the docu ment

and other pecuiaritles denoted that it was
not the work OF Henry Martin. The re-
mainder of the witness cross-examination
was all In this vein and nothing new was
elected
Before adjourning. however, Mr.. Pond
was asked. Ibid you not at any time see
John b. Martin, with his wife and little
child. when John B. Martin resided at
2215 Van Ness avenue?'
NO. l think l once saw John Martin
and his wife together, but | remember
seeing no child"
The trial will be resumed on Monday
next. In order to better accomm odate all
parties Judge Coffey will hold forth in
Judge Belcher's court for the remainder
of the trial. 1t is larger room and Judge

as every good Opera-goer knows, is sung
from the recesses of a property tower.
The scene proved effective and was much
applauded.
Miss Neva M. Krehmke. the vocalist.

She sang it differently from most of the

Miss krehmke has a remarkable voice.
She is light high soprano. with great ex-
tension and considerable carrying power,
though her voice is somewhat thin.
1t is its remarkable fieXibility, however,
and its sweet meZZo voice that gives her
singing It's distinctive charm. The only
noticeable defect of her voice consists in a
certain worn quality now and then in the

A LOCAL SINGER.
Assisted the MidWinter
Quintet.
Debut of Miss Krehmke-A Concert
at Metropolitan Temple That
Was a Great Success.

The Midwinter Fair Quintet is a name
taken by some musicians who have deter
mined to break the monotoRy of the sum-
mer months and try the effect of giving
concerts out of season.
Their first attempt last night, in Metro
politan Temple, was a decided success.
There was large audience present, and
the concert proved to be far above the
| average. The quintet itself is a miniature
orchestra, composed OF the following
players, several of whom are known as
soloists: Cornet, Will E. Bates; violin,
Genaro Saldierna; trombone. f. X. Tobin ;
clariOnet, George W. McNeice; piano.
Charles Prince.
All the selections given by the quintet
were we'll played. The volume of sound
was balanced as rule, for the cornet and
trombone mercifully Subdued themselves.
The selections were all given with spirit
and with excellent phrasing and intona-
some airs from "Rigoetto" and the sextet
from Lucia" The pianist aroused con-
siderable applause In the encore to the
first number by playing the tamb0urine
solo of Mexican band fame with one hand
while he accompanied On the piano with
the other.
F. K. Tobn played Mascagni's "Sicili-
ana" with much more expression and del
icacy of shading than is usually expected
from a trombone. The same gentleman
showed his versatility by singing PRO

very strong. light barytone voice that
showed evidence of good training.
