Serious Charges Preferred
Against a San Francisco
Lawyer.
A Petition for the Removal of Mar
Gus Rosenthal as Executor of
the Austin Estate.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 17.-Serious
charges were made here to-day against
Marcus Rosenthal, a San Francisco lawyer,
in petition filed by Mrs. Rose Austin to
have Rosenthal removed as executor OF
her husbands estate
Charles Austin died in this county on
June 8, 1894, leaving an estate worth
$50, 900, $4,000 of which is located in Sonoma
County. II his will he named Rosenthal,
Mrs. Austin and L. Auradue as executors.
Auradue withdrew.
In the petition filed by Mrs. Austin,
Rosenthal is charged with having secured
the withdrawal of Auradue by misrepre-
sentation, so he could handle all the money
and papers in the estate. It is also charged
that he paid P. Batelle $3.50 to secure
Austin as client for him; that he got
$500 from Austin on representations that
he had performed legal services worth that
much, which were worth only about $500.
Mrs. Austin further charges that Rosen-
thai has in his possession $4,000 belonging
to the estate, and that by reason of his
actions she has been compelled to go to
her fathers home to live. She asks the
court to remove him as executor, as being
unfit for the trust,

The Prisoner Denies That He Attempted
to Cremate His Family.
VANCOUVER, B. c., June 7.-Sergeant
Haywood left to-day for Winnipeg with
Farr, the man accused of incendlarism
and attempted cremation at that place.
Farr, in an interview with representa-
tive of the Associated Press, admitted his
identity and stated that though the cir
cumstantial evidence against him was
strong he was really innocent, though it
would be a hard task to prove it. He
claimed that on the night when he was
supposed to have attempted to burn his
house and cremate his wife aud family he
was asleep in the cab of his engine in the
Winnipeg yard.
Regarding his acquaintance with Miss
Robinson, Farr says the theory advanced
by the crown that he attempted murder
and incendiarism in order to marry her is
false. Farr claims that no one aided him
in his escape from Jail in Winnipeg.

cluded tools for making quarters, halves
and dollars.
The head of the enterprise is William
Benninger, well known here. He is son
OF Mrs. Jeffreys, at whose house the out
fit was captured. 1t was packed in a box
which was addressed to William Hide
brandt, San Francisco
Benninger is known to have had one
confederate. Both of them escaped after
the police had them Swallowed and were
waiting for the evidence which developed
in this mornings raid. 1t is supposed
that warning was given the men by some
one who had learned the plans for their
capture. The supposition is that they
have gone north, having left here Satur-
day night or Sunday morning.
Some of the bogus dollars were passed
here and few in neighboring towns but
their operations are not thought to have
been on large scale. The work is very
clever, and the dollars were so we'll ex.
ecuted that passing them was easy work.

ton of Picker, in whose possession bull

art, the woman who made the statement
that led to his arrest, and she answered all
questions with II don't know or 81 don't
remember" claiming she was drunk
when she accused Picker. Several wit
nesses, however, testified that she was per-
fectly sober at the time.
The most important witness was Attor-
ney Coffin, to whom Miss Stewart first told
OF Pickler's stealings after she had quar-
rel with him. Coffin said:
"About 80 o. clock on June 4, Mr.. Wood.
burn, who is associated with me in the de-
Tense of Johnny Jones, asked me to go to
his Office. When there he stepped out
and Flora Stewart and Nellie Butts came
into the office from rear alley. They in
CURED for WOODBURY., and when I ex-
planned that l was there in connection with
the mint affair they talked freely, both be-
fore and after Woodburn's return. Flora
Stewart said Picker had struck her and
called her a thief, and that she was going
to let the public know who the real thief
was.
''She then went into details and said
Picker brought bullion home from the
mint every day, or as often as two or three
times week. She described where it was
kept in closet and in the stables, and
said If we got it at all we must do it right
away, as it would be taken away that
night. With view to securing q search
warrant, drew up short affidavit. She
did not know the street and number of the
house, but we got that from map of the
CITY,"
The commissioner asked: "What was
her condition as to sobriety at this timer
"Just the same as she is now," was the
reply. 1--WE asked Detective Grant to go
down with us, and he did. Picker was there
at the same time, and said jocularly, III
you find any bullion here you are welcome
to it, We found nothing in the house, but
Deputy Sheriff Ullrick in prodding the
ground in the stable with bar found soft
dirt and Constable Patterson scraped out
the bullion with a hoe. The bullion was
put in a box.
"As the officers were digging over the
ground again Picker said, You have got
it all, boys; there is no more of it. He
claimed it belonged to his brother, and
said he wished he had told the officers oil
it before. The recovered bullion weigh ed
ten and quarter pounds"
WOODBURY. and several other witnesses
corroborated Collins testimony, and
Picker was held to the Grand Jury in
$1,000 bonds.

Lumber aud Shin0ie Shippers Unite for
Mutual Protection.
SEATTLE, WASH, June 17.-At a meet
ing of representatives of twenty-three
firms of Tacoma, Portland, Seattle and
Mount Vernon, which ship so per cent of
the shingle output of the Pacific North
west, the Pacific Lumber and Single Ship
pers' Association was organized to-day.
The association is intended to discourage
the sale of poorly manufactured shingles,
as over-drying and the putting OF thin
shingles in punches have caused consider
able loss OF trade. 1t will issue blacklist
of Eastern buyers who take advantage of
he shippers distance from his market to
put in claims for shortage, broken
lunches ETC., and thus enforce deductions.
As it would involve costly litigation to
fight these claims, the shippers have been
in the habit of allowing these deductions
despite their injustice. The association
will also attend to relations with the rail-
roads, such as rates, supply of cars, etc.,
and will protect the manufacturer against
inscriptions dealers.
The boycott declared by the Seattle
Shippers Association against the Northern
Pacific Railroad was also discussed, but no
action on the subject was taken.
Owing to the greatly increased demand
for lumber and the advance in the price of
logs, a meeting OF Puget Sound sawmill
men having facilities for shipping by rail
is to be held some day next week to discuss
the advisability of advancing prices.
