HER MANSION BES|EGED,
Mrs. Isabella Martins Formid-
able DefenseS Against
the Enemy.
She Puts the Picket Line to Flight
by Executing Strategic
Maneuvers,

Mrs. Isabella Martins house on Van Ness
avenue is in a state of siege.
Across the main entrance, or what would
be termed in military literature the sally
port, powerful chain is spread and when
the outer sentinel is summoned by the
electric bell the visitor is carefully in
spected before the chain is dropped and he
is admitted. In other respects a certain
sort OF garrison discipline is maintained by
the chatelaine. On the northern bastion,
or wing of the building, guard is posted,
and from the ramparts outside Mrs. Topin's
boudoir all approaches of the enemy from
either north or south of the avenue, or the
streets adjacent that lead into it, may be
observed.
81 have found the absolute necessity of
those precautions" said Mrs. Martin, "for
there are two detectives in the employ of
the men threatened in nv suit filed by
Attorney Bates last week who are con-
stantly watching this neighborhood. They
parade before the house, they linger around
the corners and they make notes of any,
body who enters or leaves my house. A
man in gray clothes with derby hat is
the most Objectionable. He is always on
the picket line. The reserves, think, fall
back on the corner grocery on Polk street,
but are always kept within call.

gray. What are you doing peering about
my house?' politely asked him.
I" Il am a resident of this neighborhood,
madam he said, and if you speak to me
any more will knock you down.
II called to policeman who was stand
ing on the corner, and put my hand under
cape held on my arm. The brave de-
tective ran like deer. Possibly he
imagined l was about to take shot at
him, and felt that he deserved it, but such
was not the case. l know my enemies
would like to force me into the commission
of an overt act but l can keep my temper.
'Do you know l am an excellent pistol
shot?" continued Mrs. Martin. when
lived in Weaverville I used to practice
every day. l could hit a man across the
street-well, eight times out of ten, but
then am of good-natured disposition,
and would much rather practice on an in
animate target"
The prosecution of Mrs. Martins civil
suit against E. B. Pond and Arthur Rogers
will be begun after the legal vacation. The
defendants have not filed as yet their
answer to her complaint.

.LEV|NGSTON'S LETTERS,
He Wants a Special Admins
tratOrship in the Fair
Estate.
Allegations of Irregularity In the
Appointment of the In
CumbentS.

DR.. Marc Livingston has given notice to
the attorneys in the Fair estate that on
August he will move for an order of court
setting aside and annulling the previous
order made January 2, 1895, appointing
James S. Angus. Louis G. Bresse, W. S.
Goodfellow and Thomas Ct. Crothers spe-
cial administrators for the estate.
He will also move for revocation of the
special letters and for the appointment Of
himself in the place of the deposed admin
istrators.
The motions will be made on the ground
that the order appointing the present spe-
cial administrators was improperly and
lmprovidently done; that it was made and
entered without any notice being given to
Livingston or to any of the heirs, and that
the order was $50 made, given and entered
by and through the mistake, inadvertence,
surprise and excusable neglect of the said
Marc Livingston, and of the executors
named in the last will of said deceased,
and one of the persons entitled to prefer
ence in the matter of the appointment of
special administrators of said estate"
The motion to remove will be made on
the further ground that the special admin
lstrators have not properly qualified for
their positions, and that no sufficient I'M
dertaking has been filed by them.
In his petition for special letters, Leving-
ston recites the facts of the appointment
of Angus, Bresse, Goodfelow and Croth-
ers, of the filing of the pencil will and Of
the appointment in it of himself, Angus
and Crothers as executors.
Since the filing of this will, he claims,
he has been using every endeayor to bring
1t to probate, but because of delays and
contlnuances and the complications arts.
ing from the incomplete condition of the
records he believes it will not be finally
ended for at least six months, and that
there will be great delay in granting let
tiers testamentary to the executors.
The petition further sets forth that Lev
ingston is competent, and is entitled to be
named an executor and administrator,
and that he has never waived any of his
rights in the matter. On the contrary he
again announces that he will accept the
trust reposed in him under the last will.
He believes that the best interests of the
estate demand revocation of the present
letters and a discharge of the present
special administrators

was dismissed yesterday afternoon by
Judge Joachimsen, after the stormiest
proceedings witnessed in Police Court in
this City for many day. Attorneys in
the case said the most uncomplimentary
things o. each other. The audience APP
plauded till his Honor got blue in the face,
and Judge Campbell, who occupied chair
beside Judge Joachimsen, pulled his
whiskers as if they were so much taffy and
blushed for the faded reputation of his
own unique tribunal. Reel Terry will be
up for contempt this morning. Wallace
Bradford may be yanked before his Honor
for the same offense.
1t was "hot stuff, - as they say in that b.
hemia of which William Greer Harrison is
about to write book. incidentally there
were starters for several personal encoun-
tiers and flows of language bluer than the
briny deep. Charles Wesley Reed at one
stage OF the proceedings accused Reel B.
Terry of having spirited an important
witness for the defense beyond the reach
of a subpoena. Mr., Terry promptly re-
sponded by calling Mr.. Reed liar. The
court was knocked speeches. by the
breezy interchange and Gavin McNab so
tangled the accent in the patois of his
own Grampian hills with the emphasis on
the antepenults of the Presidents English
that he couldn't get in a word. His de-
livery was so broad that he could not
positively get in edgeways.
Then the infection seized the spectators.
Wallace Bradford who is member of the
Civic Federation, and a son-in-law of
Stewart Menzies, became greatly excited
over the fact that Judge Joachimsen had
not then and there sent Attorney Terry to
Jail for contempt. He expressed his
opinion of the action in set terms in the
vicinity of several of Terry's friends, and
the discussion Immediately became ami
mated. Words were running high, and
the interchange of compliments was verg-
ing on the pugalistic when Porter Ashe,
another of the attorneys for DIR. Livingston,
pushed through the crowd in time enough
to catch the flag end of one of Mr.. Brad
ford's remarks.
whats that you saidP" he exclaimed.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-25

ter Ashe, but the court made retreat to
his chambers, and the sinewy form of Ser
geant Reynolds appearing, the excited per-
sonality of Mr.. Bradford was removed
from the courtroom, but not before Mr..
Bradford had slgnified his desire to send
his card around to Mr.. Ashes voting num-
Der.
ALI these matters were exciting enough
in the case, but they were not all. There
were others and they spread out all over
the afternoon. They came in the way of
casual remarks from counsel, but exploded
with all the force of bombs on an UMPIRE
pared court and audience. Mr.. Reed of
most of them, Gavin McNab for some
others, and Reel Terry plowed the path
less fields of speculative thought" for some
others.
just one charge made by Mr.. Reed was
in the nature of a hair-raiser. Broadly
and openly he stated that he had thirty
five witnesses present to prove the truth
of the charges against DR.. Levingston. and
among them several who would testify to
most unholy orgies held in the Morgue by
deputies of the complaining witness. He
was prepared to prove that it was a COM
mon practice among the deputies to set
cadavers up against the walls as targets
for raw potatoes.
A perceptible shudder passed through
tnC COuItIOOIu JncSc SIdIcuuSutS, IuduS
in the clearest kind of English. and Mr..
Terry was on his feet in an instant.
do you mean to say" he shouted, "that
DR.. Levingstonlwas guilty of these prac-
tees which you now charge here?"
NO" said Mr.. Reed, "but l do mean to
say that his deputies were, and 1 have the
witnesses here to prove it,
''Well, them" said Terry, "all have got
to say is that if you will make those state
ments-if you will put them in writing
| and send them to the San Francisco CALL
| or to any other paper in San Francisco,
and do not run the witnesses off to Dixon,
Soiano County, we will have you arrested
| tomorrow. Put it in writing over your
| own signature, and don't let them deny
their signatures and plead the baby act,
! and we will swear out warrants for their
arrest" .
| But this matter blew over as others had
done during the afternoon. The court re-
fused to hear witnesses for the defense,
except in denial of the defendants having
procured the publication of the alleged
! libelous article and at the end, preceding
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-25

the, grand finale of contempt, contention
and excitement, dismissed the cases.
1t was highly interesting three hours
proceeding from beginning to end-too
good fo- free admission-keeping every
one present on the qui vive for develop
most lurid melodrama.
+. Y. Harlan, reporter for the CALL,
was the first witness on the stand. On
direct examination by Mr.. Terry he testi-
fled that he had been in the Office of l. J..
Truman on May Ia last and had there pro-
which the committee of the Civic Fedora
ton had forwarded to Governor Budd in
the form of protest against the appoint
ment of DR.. Livingston as member of the
Board of Health. The contents of that
typewriter copy were printed in the CALL
on the morning of May Is under the cap
ton, Hot After Livingston" The wit
ness could not remem Der that the paper
had been furnished to him.by either of the
defendants, DIR. Eli McClish or Rev.
Thomas G. Filben. He might have taken
it from the table on which it was lying
without having asked permission of any
one. Witness was at loss to remember
whether anything had been said to him or
not by Messrs. Truman or Gaden at the
time he came into possession of the type
written copy.
During the course of the examination of
this witness Mr.. Terry pressed him very
closely as to how he had come into pos
session of the paper, and asked him if he
had gained it surreptitiously. Mr.. McNab
objected, and called upon the court to pro-
tect the witness from the insinuations
thrown out by Mr.. Terry.
81 don't want the witness intimidated, )"
said Mr.. McNab, "by any OF these Fresno
counsel. They all have POPULATIONS"
"Oh, wouldn't get personal, if I were
you," replied Mr.. Terry, sarcastic ally.
