after many years is the return of the

Ringwood is now the country seat of

when the chain was sold to q junk

OF it, bought as much of it as was left,

as a low fence around a-grass plot on

originally from the old Continental
foundry, but also on the land that
forms part of Mr.. Hewitt's place were

TO SHOW A CONSPIRACY,
c. A. LOOMS Tells How the
McClintock Shooting Was
Kept Secret.
Mrs. Mabel TreadWeli Approved the
Wounding of the Detective In
Her Rooms.

The suit of c. A. Loomis against Calvin
Somers in the Superior Court continues to
Weld considerable interest.
Yesterday the examination of Fisher
Ames was concluded, telling of his first
knowledge of the shooting of Detective
McClintock by Loomis, which had been
kept secret from March in the year of its
occurrence until June. In order to ward
off the plea of defendant that he acted
under the advice Of his attorney it was
brought out by counsel that in the case of
Ames VS.. Treadwell for fee for services
Mrs. Treadwen and Somers had denied
that Ames had been employed in the case
of LOOMS VS.. Treadwell. 1t was also
shown that Somers will plead that his
meeting with Buckley was not at the Re-
ception by appointment, but occurred on
Geary sire ct by accident.
G. A LOOMS afterward resumed his
testimony as to what took place after he
had shot McClintock at the Russ House.
He had taken care of the wounded man
and called in DR.. McNutt. LOOMS had
told McClintock that he ought not to have
made aggressive motions, and then the
two shook hands before the physician.
Then McClintock, who was wounded in
the face and could not speak, wrote two
notes asking Somers and Loomis to give
out that he had been wounded in a car
rage accident and to keep the real circum-
stances secret from his wife. Somers had
pocketed the notes, remarking that if the
real circumstances came out they would
come in well. Somers had promised to
stand by LOOMS Ill the event of trouble
and get him bail at once.
Afterward LOOMS had gone to apologize
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-10

to Mrs. Treadwell for shooting man in
her rooms.
''Oh, that's all right" had replied Mrs.
Treadwell; ''you ought to have killed
him."
Things went on quietly from March
until June, when the relations between
Mrs. Treadwell LOOMS and Somers be-
came strained. The shooting affair became
public property and LOOMS went to Mrs.
Treadwell, said he intended to surrender
himself and asked her to stand by him.
She had refused, but said that "Cal"
(meaning Somers) had few thousand
dollars and would stand by him.
"What else did she say to you at that
time?" asked Attorney Mhoon.
But Somers' attorney, Rix, objected, on
the ground that there was no evidence of
conspiracy between Somers and Mrs.
Treadwell and that any declaration of Mrs.
Treadwell could not bind Somers.
This was nice point. The Jury was
excused, and counsel argued it for the re-
mainder of the day. The main object was
to prove probable cause"
Finally the court decided that there was
enough probable cause" to admit the
question in controversy and the case went
over until to-day.

PAWNBROKERS IN TROUBLE
Suit Against J. L. Soloman and AdOlph
NendeIsohn for Peculiar Ways
of Liquidating Debts.

a complaint was filed yesterday in
Judge Hunts department of the Superior
Court by r. l. Whelan against the firm of
j. L. Soloman 81 Co., 622 Kearny street, in
solvent debtors, for feloniously concealing
personal property with the intent to
''cheat. hinder and delay creditors" Last
November J. L. SoIoman and Adolph Men
delsobn were doing business under the
firm name of the Lombard Loan Office, -
as dealers in iewelry and as general pawn
brokers.
They were at that time in debt to many
persons in this State and the East to the
sum of $50, O0O of which about $4,000 was
. secured by the hypothecation OF their
stock at 622 Kearny street, and the balance
OF the amount, $40, GOO, was unsecured.
At this time Mendelsohn commenced
suit against Soloman to dissolve the part
nership on the ground that Soloman had
been contracting debts under the firm
name unknown to himself and without
his consent.
Julius /. Franklin was appointed re-
ceiyer upon an ex parte proceeding, but
December 80, 1894 Mendelsohn had the
proceedings dismissed and they continued
business as before.
While the action for dissolution of part
nership was pending the parties connected
filed a Joint petition in insolvency and
placed their assets at $780, but in De-
cember 10, 1894, they again had the pro.
ceedings dismissed, called a meeting Of
their creditors and compromised at %
cents on the dollar For 10 per cent they
gave notes and the remaining 10 per cent
they gave in cash.
The plaintiff charges that prior to the
commencement of these legal proceedings
the defendants carried away from their
store a large amount of diamonds and
lewelry. After they had compromised
with their creditors, all of the collaterals
which had been removed again made their
appearance, but the firm then went under

The diminutive woman addressed gath

ereeley,s Start with Ten Dollars.

One hot day in August, 1881, an ungalnly
iourneyman printer from Erie, Pa, was
among the "arrivals" in New York City.
1t was Horace Greeley, born twenty years
before on farm in Amherst, n. II. From
childhood an Unsuitable reader, at 10 he
had become prodigy of his native town.
His stump-gru bblng on farm in Vermont,
whittier poverty drove the family, his SER
wee as printers devil there, and later as
Job and newspaper printer at Erie, paid
little. The young man reached the me-
tropolis with only $40 in his pocket, while
the rest of his earthly goods formed a bun
die which he swung in his hand. After
long and vain search for work he at last
secured a situation so hard that no other
printer would take it. In it he wrought
twelve or fourteen hours a day at rate
never exceeding Sc week.
After various vicissitudes in lob-prlntlng
and desultory educational work, where he
evinced genius and zeal but no SPECIAL
aptitude for business, Mr.. Greeley, in 1S41,
started the Tribune. For this venture he
had borrowed $1,000. The first week S
losses engulfed nearly half this sum- but
at the end CT year the paper was an
assured success. 1t soon became the
mouthpiece of all the more sober anti
slavery sentiment of the time, whether
within or without the Wing party, and
rose to power with the mighty tide OF free
soil enthusiasm that swept over the land
after 1850. Greeley and his organ. were
the chief founders of the Republican
party, and the most effective molders of
its policy. The influence of the paper
before and during the war was meal
culable, far exceeding that of any other
sheet in America. Hardly Wing or a
Republican voter in all the North that did
not take or read it. 1t gave tone to the
minor organs of the party, and no poll
tician on either side acted upon slavery
without considering what the Tribune
would say.-Scribners

terizing the transaction as ''the greatest
crime of the nineteenth century" Mr..
Mcbride implies that 1t was a crime
against the people, and especially the
laboring people. Would they have been
better off If. instead of issuing bonds,
the administration had allowed the gold
reserve to be exhausted, the greenbacks
to become deprecated and the national
credit to be impaired? That would have
been a far greater crime than borrowing
gold to avert these disasters. The
transaction was badly managed, but 1t
was no crime.
Mr.. Mcbride seems to have an eye for
great crimes, for in another speech at
an evening meeting he said: "The con-
centration Of power in the hands Of the
few at the expense of the many is the
greatest crime Of the nineteenth GEN.
tury." and he declared that "in proper
comparison with the wealth Of the coun-
try American labor is more poorly paid
than that of any other country, and In
No country is capital more highly re-
warded." Sweeping assertions like these
are calculated to mislead and infiame
the minds of those who do not scrutinize
them. They are incendiary in that they
are calculated to array labor against
capital and provoke strife. Those who
make such assertions are unwise lead
ers and unpatriotic citizens.
