TIE EMMA JUCH CASE.

Chtef Juetice Beatty disagree % with the
Opinion of tho Court.
That old case Of Egener We. Emma
Juch ct al, which has been lingering in
the courts for two or three years past,
was heard from again yesterday when
Supreme Court Clerk Sesnon received q
dissenting opinion from Chief Justice
Beatty u the order OF the supreme court
OF January 1lth, denying reheAring Of
the cause.
The chief justce Gays that the af-
hdgvits upon which the attac hment
was dissolved present no real or sub
stantial conflict as TO the facts.
The attorney for the respondents made
an affidavit stating in general terms that
at the time the attachment OF the prop
erty of the Juch Opera company fin Los
Angeles issued they were actually re-
siding in the city.
But Chief Justice Beatty says this WAS
merely his opinion; that the aifidavts
filed by the plaintiff were, on the other
hand, full and specific az TO the facts
from which the question of residence is
to be determined and were uncontra-
dicted.
These afidavite, he holds. show clear
ly that the defendants had been for
years residents Of New York; that they
were in California at the time OF the
attachment as members of the Juch
Opera company, travelling from place to
place, giving performances according to
q definite programme and intending to
leave the state within a few days:
Ho holds that the order of the supe-
rior court cannot BIZ upheld upon any
theory, except that the mere presence OF
a defendant in the htate at the time an
stances which enable the plaintiff to
secure personal service Of the sum
mons, will make him resident within
the meaning OF the attachment law.
The chief justice, in conclusion, says
that he does not assent to this proposi-
ton, and that he is cure the court would
hesitate to affirm il.

ment. The Chicago Herald, besides
its two correspondents resident in San
Francisco, has a staff correspondent on
the ground, who will remain till the
fair is closed.
1t is not possible there is room for
doubt that less interest than is mani
tested abroad lie taken at home in the
midwinter fair. Southern California
will be benefited more than any other
section by the display, and it is the
common duty Of all the inhabitants to
literally maintain in the Southern Cali
fornia building an indispensable ex-
hibit of the rich products OF this half OF
the state. To fail to do this would be
to damage the common interest almost
more than the worlds fair promoted it.
Probably there is no fear Of this, and
yet there is a rumor about that the men
in charge of Los Angeles interests at
the fair are finding it diff
cult to raise the money that is
needed or will be required in the fairs
progress. The high spirit of the citi-
zens must be kept up to the adventure
point, for sure it is that whatever sums
of money and expenditure of effort sre
made in this direction, will, without long
waiting, be paid back to the community
fourfold. 1t 10 impossible for the mid
winter fair to fail, even partially; it will
succeed gloriously, though not dollar
returns directly to it's originators; and
should Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornis prove unwisely parsimonious, or
narrowly suspicious, the loss will fall to
this section and not to any other.

A VERY SINGULAR CONTRACT
And an Agreement to Pay
Deficiency
Under Sale in Foreclosure Pro-
ceediDgs.
why r.. N. Wilson Claims He Should
Not Pay Money for #. H. Bar
clay-Agreement writ
ten and Parole.

There was on trial before Judge Clark
yesterday quite an interesting suit in
which Jesse w. Woodroof WAS plaintiff
and Robert N. O. Wilson was defendant.
The fects OF the case ara quite novel
on account of certain agreements made.
In April, 1889, Mr.. Woodroof loaned
to F. II. Barclay and Mary M. Barclay
$4,000 and took their note for it, as well
as a mortgage on lots II, IS and 49,,
block of Monte Vista.
In March. 1891, the note and mort
gage being overdue and unpaid Mr..
Woodroof was about to bring suit Of
foreclosure, when Mr.. Wilson requested
him not to sue for four months.
The plaintiff alleges that Mr.. Wilson
agreed If the note was not paid by that
time he would pay any or all deficiency
which might remain at that time.
The plaintiff did not sue until No
vember, when, the note still being I'M
paid he sued and secured Judgment for
$3340.76. The property was sold, but
no part OF the deficiency has been paid,
and the defendant, Mr.. Wilson, declin-
ing to pay, the present suit was brought
to recover from him judgment for $780,
rs, the amount of the deficiency.
In answer to the allegations the de
fendant stated that in March, 1891, he
had been negotiating a sale of lands on
the Monte Vista tract belonging to F.
H. Barclay and wife, not including the
lands in plaintiffs mortgage, in connec-
ton with other lands in the Tejunga
rancho and water rights at price that
\ 30
their indebtedness.
He alleges that the plaintiff came to
him and told him that Mr.. Barclay was
indebted to him in the sum of $2200 !;
that he had obtained it by fraudulent
representation, and was liable to GRIM
inal prosecution, and unless it was paid
he would institute criminal proceedings
against Barclay.
The defendant claims that Mr.. Wood
roof agreed, if he would guarantee the
payment, that he would not prosecute
and would refrain from circulating any
reports that the money was obtained by
fraud.
Nr. Wilson alleges that in spite of this
agreement MIR. Woodroof did industri-
ously circulate such reports in Los An
geles and began criminal proceedings
against Mr.. Barclay in Justice Stanton'5
court also that he tried to have Mr..
Barclay indicted by the grand jury.
He claims that by reason OF these
things Mr.. Woodroof broke his agree
ment and by the failure to consummate
the sale, caused by the reports, the en-
tire consideration OF the agreement
failed.
The facts were testified to yesterday
by witnesses on both sides. and all the
testimony being in late in the afternoon,
the cause was submitted without srgu-
ment.

Burkhart We. the Wilmer Bros. COM
pany for $4,000 damages, and for $6l26
for labor and material furnished in
keeping the Cahuenga Valley dummy
road in repair.
Mr.. Burkhart claims that he held an
agreement for lease OF the road from
Wilmer Bros. and expended the money
in bringing the road up to tirst-class
condition.
Later he claims that the road was sold
to other parties and he bias nothing to
chow for the money be put into it. He
wants Wilmer Bros. to pay him for what
he did and the damage occasioned him
by the transaction.
The defendants deny that he has any
claim upon them for what he did, that
they did not own the road and the work
was not done at their request.
Mr.. Burkhsrt. who does not seem to
be very alert or sharp, was on the wit
ness stand nearly all day and explained
all the transactions in which he spent
meney for the road. The trial was not

SHE CANNOT INTERVENE.

The Supreme Court Rules Upon q Novel
Application.
Quite novel proposition was submit
ted to the supreme court in the case OF
Leonis We. Biscailuz, an opinion in
which was received at the Los Angeles
Office yesterday.
The parties filed stipulation that
the Judgment and order appealed from
be reversed and the cause be remanded
to the superior court for a new trial,
and moved for judgment in accord
ance with the stipulation.
The motion was opposed by Mrs. Vic
toria ]. de Yorba, who filed an affidavit
that since the rendition of the judg-
ment appealed from che had recovered
a money Judgment against Mr.. Biscsi-
luz and caused an execution to be levied
on the land in controversy.
She averred that since the levy Leonis
and Biecailuz arranged for consent

Invested OF his interent or title to the
land, and that he is insolvent, 30 she
could not collect her judgment. She
therefore asked to be allowed to inter
vene in the appeal, file briefs, and that
the court dispose Of the cause on it's
merits, without reference to the stipula-
ton.
Upon the application the supreme
court says in part:
"Thie application is certainly novel
one. Under section 387 of the code of
civil procedure one who has an interest
in the matter in litigation may be per-
mitted to intervene before the trial of
an action; but there is no authority for
such intervention after judgment and
while the cause ia pending in this court
on appeal, nor has stranger to the
record any right to call upon this court
to investigate and pass upon the merits
of an appeal, when the parties to the
record have consented to an atirmance
or reversal of the judgment without such
investigation and decision"
The motion for leave to intervene and
file brief is denied and the judgment
and order appealed from Is reversed in
accordance with the stipulation.
