The San Francisco call., 1895-11-14

DR.. Morrison, Health Officer Lovelace
and Secretary Godchaux were about to re-
turn to their respective homes at late
hour when the former remarked:
Let US make call at the Receiving
Hospital before we go home. We will not
be expected at this hour and we NAV see
some things that will be interesting"
The others agreed to the proposition,
and in few moments they were in the
institution. AS DR.. Morrison had thought
the visit was complete surprise, and the
health officials had an opportunity to see
Tor themselves just the condition it was
in. No member of the party said very
much, but it was evident that they were
doing considerable thinking, and all
breathed sighs of relief when once more in
the open air.
1t was not so much the condition in
which the hospital was kept that dis
gusted the officials as the general condi-
tlons under which he institution was run.
All expressed the opinion that the keep
ing or the hospital in its present loca-
ton was an outrage, and that it should be
remedled at the earliest possible moment.
81 hope | shall never be hurt on the
streets and carried into that horrible
place" said DR.. Morrison.
The board, represented by Drs. Park.
Morse and Morrison, Health Officer Love
lace and Secretary Goichau1, made an.
other visit of inspection yesterday, this
time to the City and County Hospital.
Their visit was unannounced and the Off
cials of the institution were taken com
pletely by surprise.
The members of the board were agree
ably surprised regarding the condition of
cleanliness in which the hospital was
found, but saw many things that con-
vinced them that the City of San Francisco
needs new hospital. The main cause for
complaint was that the buildings are out
OF date and in poor condition for the pur-
pose for which they are used
In some places about the institution the
sanitary conditions were found to be bad
and In urgent need of repairs. 1t is ex-
pected that at the regular meeting of the
board, which takes place on Wednesday
next the members who have taken part in
the various tours of inspection will make
some strong recommendations regarding
the hospitals. and that the board will
take immediate steps toward finding q
remedy Tor the present state OF affairs.
Plumbing Inspector Sullivan is also ex-
pected to be in attendance with a report OF
the institutions he has visited since the

of the case and the persons connected with
it. He had had dealings with Ashworth,
and had found him all right. Braun
schweiger was passed.
Nine more jurors were then called 70
the box and sworn. Hugh Currau, hotel
keeper living on the corner of Broadway
and Montgomery street, was the first one
examined. He was a Supervisor at one
time, when Ashworth was Superintendent
of Streets duriug a former term, but he
only met the defendant then in the course
of committee work. He was willing to
try the case fairly, and SO was accepted.
NJ. Sheedy was questioned closely as to
his opinion of the responsibility of Mr..
Ashworth as head of the street Office and
in accepting contracts which were de-
fective. Mr.. Sheedy believed that when
the Superintendent of Streets accepted
contract he was responsible, even though
one of his deputies had reported the work
all right. He would, however, want to
have guilty knowledge proved before he
would remove him from office. Mr..
Sheedy was passed.
J. Klenck was accepted by both sides
after numerous questions as to his opin-
ions of the responsibility of heads of
offices, and so was j. E. Warren.
Thomas Rivers and H. Braunschweiger
were absent from the iury-box when court
convened at 2 O'Clock, and attachments
were issued for them at once. Mr.. Acker-
man was also absent, but he came in in
time to escape with a slight reprimand.
Soon after Mr.. Braunschweiger came in
with an excuse showing why he should
not serve on the jury, which he had
stayed over time to secure, but, as he was
already accepted and sworn, the court
would listen to no excuse from him, and
he reluctantly took his seat in the box,
Thomas Rivers sent word he was sick.
Then c. D. Broder was called, and he was
examined.
MIR. Black, who took Mr.. Barnes place
during the afternoon, was on his feet before
the examination had been long in progress
objecting to Mr.. Ackerman's question
which related to corruption on the part of
the defendant. He claimed it was only
necessary to prove willful misconduct, and
that therefore Mr.. Ackerman's questions
were irrelevant. The question was allowed.
however. and then Mr.. Broder was passed
Mr.. Black will put in some authorities
on the point before the case is over.
Dunn was examined and accepted after
a rigid examination, and the remainder of
the panel was no good from the stand
point OF the different counsel. A special
venlre was ordered, returnable this morn
ing.

money for their labors, Mccormick
handed them certificates of deposi it in the
California Industrial Exchange.
The certificate credits the "depositor"
with the number of days he has worked
and the money value of the same in prop
erty, goods or services at their exchange
value.
From what Mr.. Greene could learn Nc
Cormick had issued over forty of these
documents, and the complaint was made
that they were not worth the paper they
were written on, for Mccormick, so Greene
said, had taken care to send any goods,
ETC., to his sisters place, and the ''depos-
itorsh were not able to realize anything
on their checks or certificates. One of the
workmen, F. w. French, complained to
the authorities, and he made so much
trouble for Mccormick that the latter re-
deemed the paper. The police are waiting
for the proper steps TO be taken to bring
Mccormick to an account for his transac-

to satisfy counsel. He had no particula r
prejudice against any one connected with
either side OF the case, nor was he a mem
Der OF the Civic Federation. He had read
the papers, but the papers did not in
fuence him. He would refrain from pass
ing an opinion on the case until finally
submitted to him; he would report at
him on the subject of the case in hand,
and altogether he seemed model Juror.
He was accepted.
Nathan had known Mr. Ashworth for a
great many years, but he had had no busi-
ness dealings with him. He did not favor
actions OF the kind then pending. He
thought 1t too late in the day to bring an
action OF this kind, and, besides, he was
not on the assessment roll. Under this
last admission he was excu sed.
Z. D:ckey did not know Ashworth nor
keatlng, Ashworths deputy, nor any
other politician in the City. He knew
about the case through the newspapers
and considered the whole business rotten
affair: He would weigh the evidence, he
SAID, but he would not give the defendant
the benefit of the presumption of inno-
cence until he had heard the evidence. He
thought, too, that Ashworth looked hon.
est, "but,' he added, there is no telling,
he may be like the rest of them'' He had
pretty decided opinion of the guilt or in
nocence of the defendant, however, and SO
was excused for bias.
L. Lowenstein, retired merchant,
knew no one connected with the case, and
had no prejudice or bias. He was prop
erty-owner, and had not read much about
the case in the papers. Mr.. Lowenstein
seemed to be generally satisfactory, and
he was taken as juror

j. j. Coffey Arrested for Threatening to
XIII His Mother and Sister.
J. J. Coffey, "a years of age. son of the
late Detective Dan Coffey, was arrested
yesterday by Policeman Heaphy and
booked at the Seventeenth-street Station
on the charge of threats against life and
yagrancy.
His mother discovered him ill-treating
the four-year-oId son of a neighbor in the
cellar of their house, corner of Shotwell
and Twenty streets. She upbraided
him for it, and he rushed upstairs, seized
large carving-knife and chased her and
his sister out of the house, threatening to
kill them.
Mrs. Coffey notified Policeman Heaphy,
and he went to the house with her. Cof-
fey, with a hatchet in one hand and the
knife in the other, defied the officer and
warned him not to come near him on pain
of death. Heaphy closed with him, and
after brief struggle succeeded in disarm-
ing him and locking him up in the police
station.

Members of the Board of Health
Inspect the Receiving
Hospital.
THEIR IDEAS ON THE MATTER.
A Tour of Investigation Through the
City and County Hospital
Yesterday.

The Board of Health has come to the
conclusion that dress parade inspections
of the various institutions under it's super
vision are not likely to show the true con-
dition of affairs. and in future the superin-
tendents of the municipal hospitals need
not be surprised if they receive calls from
committees of the board at unusual hours
even at midnight.
That was the hour chosen for a call at
the Receiving Hospital few nights ago.
and to say that the public servants in that
institution were surprised is putting it
mildly.

change has its headquarters at Golden

Deputy Labor Commissioners E. M.
Greene made an investigation of the ex-
change and made very unfavorable re-
port upon the institution, if such it could
be called. He found that Mccormick had
been Turing workmen into his shop, prom
