the defense proposed to offer no testimony.

Inc defense proposed to offer DO testimony,
but submit the case.
Eugene f. Bert. in making the opening
argument TO the jury. said he was taken
by surprise at The abrupt termin tion of
SO important case, but il did not matter.
lbe evidence in the case was almost nm
con tradlcted. and he need not occupy the
lury's time with argument, but would
leave the issue in their hands.
Mr.. Colwell then spoke for the defense.
lie asked no mercy for the prisoner. be-
cause none was needed. The simple fact
was that il was Melvin who by accident
nad shot Herrick while trying TO kill the
uelenQant 1t was an absolute impossi-
Dillty that Fredericks could have done the
deed, as at the time Herrick was crouch
Ing behind the foot inch counter. while
the buiiet-hole supposed to marx the
progress of the fatal bullet from Fred
erlcss' pistol was in the glass partition,
eight inches higher than the counter.
Mr.. Colwell spoke of the undue haste
with which Frederieks' case had Deen
rushed to its trial. and alluded TO Mr.
Berps aspirations TO the district attor-
neyship. Ee also scored the police, as
having manufactured evidence, notably
with regard to the statement that Freder-
! icks fired the first shot. Mr.. ColWeli
maintained that Herrick fired first.
The counsel referred TO his client as
merely half-witted fool, whose sole pur-
pose was to run bluff" on the bank Off

written in blood-red ink. No harm was
meant to any one. Fredericks thought he
had an ordinary man to deal with. but be
caught Tartar. In the scrimmage that
followed Herrick was killed by an acct
dental shot from his friend. Melvin.
In conclusion Mr.. Colwell said that the
shot fired from Fredericks' pistol lodged
in the wall of the bank. while the position
of the wound in Herrlek's body. marking
the course of the bullet, proved distinctly
that it could not have been inflicted by the
defendant from where he stood. Mr.

AFTER THE BARON
Won JOhannsen and Senior
Toledo.
Serious Financial Difficulties Crowd.
ing About the Worlds Fair
Commissioner.

most innocent little complaint was filed
with the County Clerk yesterday. 1t was
suit brought by Elias Toledo against w. E.
Johannsen for S1136 46.
Mr.. Toledo is an opulent coffee planter oil
Guatemala.
Jonannsen has OF late been conspicuous in
the newspapers as Worlds Fair Commits
sioner. The promoter of the Roumanfan, Servian
and Montenegrin exhibits at the Midwinter
Fair. and also as the Roumanian Consul.
Aside from this lie was a commission merchant
of 220 California street, which place he closed
up by twilight on the 9Th inst, taking his bust
ness TO his room at 1411 California street,
where lie has since remained. while attach.
IN ents rained like the gentle dew from heaven
in the Sheriff's office.
II appears that Samuel Wolford was Indebted
to Jobannsen 10 the sum of $3.50 and sent him
drafts on the firm OF Oliver & Co. for that sum
of money.
When the drafts arrived the firm discovered
that the Little Baron. as Johannsen is generally
known, owed tile firm S1136 46 on account OF
Toledo, whose power OF attorney they had.
The lawyers Of the Guatemala gentleman
saw an opportunity 10 get even and got out an
attachment for the money In The hands OF
Oliver & Co. and a deputy sheriff was in readi-
ness TO serve the papers. but the Baron never
came.
The money was in waiting, but he had as
signed the two drafts TO Mrs. T.. NJ Hugg OF
I'LL CdllIOTDld STREET, WIZ III luiH dSSiIntu
them TO Attorney l.. i. Solomons, who Endorsed
them 10 bearer and placed them in The hands
of the Sisson- CrocSer Bank for collection.
While thus tying the cash up temporarily a
rather extraordinary incident occurred.
In a letter 10 Toledo. dated July 3. 1893,
Johannsen sent him an account OIL sales oil
coffee amounting 10 S1136 46, the amount OF
money which Toledo now sues Tor. The Gua-
temaia planter IN the meantime asked that tie
San Francisco commission man purchase him
100 pounds of silk and twenty-four shawis.
Johansen alleges that lie ordered the goods
from China ana received them. and on the
ground that they were not taken on his hands
lie refuses to pay Toledo the money Tor which
he sold his coffee.
Tie extraordinary incident referred TO is the
arrival IN the ely OF L. b. Cunningham. an
agent of tile firm OF Shewan g. Co. OF H0Ug-
Kong and Cantou. China, and Kobe. japan,
where the purchase is alleged 10 nave been
made. He has made a statement before a
notary TO tile effect that JohaDnsen fescindeu
the order and the goods have never been
shipped. and that Johannsen owes Shewan q
Co. 500 loss caused them through his failure
TO take The goods.
To add TO his discontinue the PACING Elec-
trical Storage Company, the Golden Gate Luin-
Der Company and others nave levied attach
menfs. but Toledo seems 10 be ahead OF all on
the cash in The hands Of Oliver & Co., though
Nilmerding 6 Co. put In their claim.
In view of all this the Baron is dropping and
disconsOlate and appears 10 be at the end OF his
wild career.
