Campbell-Then will you please explain how,
If this is true and you answer this question, it

Here there was another long pause and
there was clearly apparent mental strain
on every one present, for all realized that
the crisis had come and that witness
must either abandon his obdurate posi-
ton or take chances on being punished
for contempt of court. The witness had
himself repudiated the alleged contra
dictory affidavit and both witness and his
attorney evidently saw the dangerous
ground witness was resting upon. Mar
vim l.. Freeman, however, had repeatedly
averred that he would not answer the
questions involved and would rather go to
jail than do so. But the mental picture of
yawnlng jail doors conf iured up by the
tone, manner and words of Attorney
Campbell proved too much for the witness.
Relief from the tense situation came
through Attorney Boone. He asked per-
IulSSlOu lOI WlGIlcSS 10 COuSulG WIFI ulu1,
which was promptly granted by Attorney
Campbell. Witness and his attorney
abSented themselves from the room for a
few minutes, and on their return Mr..
Boone made the following announce
ment:
Counsel for witness states that now and
here witness valves any claim or right
under the plea of discriminating himself,
relating to any testimony heretofore given
by him. and will answer any questions put
to him."
An audible sigh of relief went up from
all sides, and Attorney Campbell arose, re-
marking: well, guess I've got no fur
ther business here"
81 thought you were going to continue
the examination of Witness" said Attorney
Church in regretful tone.
"Oh, no; l am not sufficiently posted on
electrical technicalities, responded Camp
bell.
''For that matter 1 will lend you some
books to post yourself" was Church's gen.
erous response.
Attorney Campbell's hands went up in
mock horror as he laughingly and quickly
replied: "No you don't. You loaned one
man some of your books, and he is now
serving six months in the Alameda jail for
contempt of court"
After Attorney Campbells departure
Mackaye began the direct examination of
the witness de novo, and he testified as
he had done at Chicago in favor of Walter
K. Freeman.
When Attorney Mackaye was asked
whether Marvin L. Freeman was to be
prosecuted for perjury in connection with
his affidavit made in this City he replied
that that was matter for future consid-
Grafton.
The plaintiff claims that the victory of
Attorney Campbell over Marvin L. Free
man was of the greatest advantage to him,
as it had been impossible for him to induce
Marvin to testify as he is now doing, owing
to his fears of being prosecuted for perjury
IN connection with the affidavit Mackaye
claims to have. The case continues to-day.

Proposes to Await Further DeveI

the INSURGENTS

iSFSoSSS 10 await r UfIn0r D6VGl-
opments Before Recognizing
the Insurgents.
Congressman Eugene F. Loud is inclined
to be somewhat cautious in dealing with the
Cuban situation. In speaking of the prob
ability OF the insurgents being recognized
as belligereDt power, he said:
my sympathies are with the Cubans,
as | believe are those of all Americans,
whose sympathies are generally with the
weaker nation.
'With my knowledge of the situation /
should not favor the recognition of the
Cubans as belligerents at this time. We
have got to get at the official correspond
ence on the matter. When it shall appear
to my mind that the insurgents in Cuba
have established a government which is
well sustained and seems strong enough to
carry on a successful revolution then I
shall favor the recognition of the beiliger-
ents.
81 am inclined to be cautious, because
the Cubans are peculiar composition as a
people. This is question that should
like to Investigate myself. 1t is conceded
that a large portion OF the people in Cuba
are negroes, half-breeds and their off
spring, and they possibly may not be the
best kind of people to manage the affairs
OF the Government.
'These are important questions that
every legislator must investigate and un-
derstand before he gives his support to the

its president, and Captain Callundan of
Harry Morse's detective agency, was
opened before Judge Dougherty yesterday.
Mrs. Tobin was elected from the betting
ring at the Bay District Track on Decem-
ber 10. 1892, and was afterward expelled
from the track and taken to a police
station, where she was charged with dis
turbing the peace. She says she was
unnecessarily humiliated and she has
brought suit for $4,000 damages.
The trial begun yesterday is but con-
tinustion of a trial some months ago in
which the jury failed to agree and like the
former case the evidence is not coming in
smoothly. There was a fainting fit and
an exchange of high words during the
morning, the plaintiff herself being the
principal figure in the first event, and
Williams as a witness and Matt Sullivan,
counsel for the plaintiff, appeared in the
second. In the afternoon "Fat Jack''

ADRO|TLY MADE TO TALK,
Attorney Campbell Succeeds in
Unloosing Marvin L. Free
mans Tongue.
A Most Dramatic Scene in Commits
Sioner Heacock's Room-An
Amusing Ending.

As clever a bit of legal acumen as was
probably ever displayed in courtroom in
this City developed yesterday in the cele-
brated Freeman Westinghouse patent case
on hearing before Commissioner Heacock
1t was also dramatic in its result and
Joseph Campbell was the hero
Marvin L. Freeman, one of the witnesses
brought here by the Westingh house people,
had on Tuesday refused to answer certain
questions asked by counsel for the defend
ant on the ground that to do so would in
criminate him, ana in this way escaped
having TO answer charge of contempt of
court before Circuit Judge McKenna. His
position was taken under instruction of
John L. Boone, his counsel, who explained
that witness since his arrival here had
been induced by undue influence, threats
and trickery, to make an affidavit contra
dieting his former deposition made at Chi
cago, and that if he were to answer ques-
tlons relating to the matter in his Chicago
deposition he would lay himself liable to
prosecution for perjury by one side or the
other.
During the course of his redirect exami-
nation yesterday morning by Attorney
Mackaye on behalf Of the Westinghouse
company, the witness stated, on being
shown certain document claimed to be
his affidavit contradicting his Chicago
deposition, that he had not signed such q
statement. This was the admission that
made the opening for Attorney Joseph
Campbell, and which was adroitly used to
change the mental attitude of the witness.
unloose his tongue and induce him to
give testimony directly against the defend
ant whose witness he is.
When the afternoon session began eX-
pectancy was raised to a high pitch by the
presence of Attorney Campbell. There
was close conference between him and
Mackaye, and also between the witness
and his attorney, before the session
opened.
Something akin to CONSERVATION became
depicted on the countenance of the
witness, his counsel, Attorney Church
and his client when Campbell in tone
that intimated he would brook no evasion
asked the witness the question that he has
has been on the stand. 1t related to the
induction coils or converter on which is
principally based the patent claims of
Walter K. Freeman, the plaintiff in the
suit. The witness was asked if he had
seen them at time and place stated in his
Chicago deposition.
There ensued long and profound silence
which was finally interrupted by Attorney
Boone, who instructed the witness not to
answer. Then another wait. Becoming
impatient at last Attorney Cam pben re-
marked suavely to witness, "W1n you
please answer?"
Witness-Will you please give me time
until get ready? A little later came: ''I
refuse to answer, as to do SO would in
criminate me-"
Campbell-Would it tend to convict you of
felony?
Mltness-I am really not enlightened enough
10 say whether it would or not.
Campbell-Then you do not put your refusal
10 answer this question upon the ground that
1t would convict you of a felony?

plants.

Suits are soon to be brought in the inter.
est of the several hundred depositors who
suffered through the failure of the PEOPLES
Bank.
BY resolution passed at meeting of the
board of directors several months ago the
unpaid capital stock, amounting to two
thirds OF l,0O0,0 600, was called in. Accord
ing to the terms of the resolution, John
Flournoy, the attorney for the bank, was
authorized to take such steps as he deemed
necessary to compel the payment of the
unpaid stock if the same was in default
after the 2Sth of August.
The stockholders were given until the 1st
OF NoVem Der to pay up. Subsequently d
resolution was submitted at a session of
the board OF directors extending the time
until the 1st of December. That resolu-
ton did not meet the approval of major
lty OF the directors, and now Attorney
FIournoy is making his preparations for
bringing suit to collect six hundred and
sixty odd thousand dollars for the benefit
of the depositors
Phe original capital stock was S., 900, 900.
only one-third was paid up, and under
section of the bylaws the directors are
gwen the power and authority to call in
the other two-thirds whenever it may be
deemed necessary and to the best interests
OF the institution. AS one of the resolu-
tions set forth, the liabilities exceed the
assets by more than 662s per cent of the
entire capital stock, and if the full amount
OF the unpaid stock was realized it would
lack much OF making the depositors even.
The Observation-Disclosures will number
between 160 and ITO. Attorney Flournov
SAID yesterday that it is doubtful whether
third of the stock can be collected.
There are many men," he said, chow:
ever willing they might be, who are un-
able to pay up. Much of the stock was
transferred for voting purposes, and many
OF the present holders are not solvent. The
percentage of solvent holders, in fact. is
small, and therefore, l say, it is question
able whether we can recover more than a
third. No matter how these ITO suits re-
suit 1t will be for the benefit of those who
have suffered the most-the depositors.
There is also much doubt about the other
assets. The City and County property be-
longing to the bank is an extremely doubt
full quantity. Property that has been as
sessed at $l60,000, we will say for example.
might not sell for more than $13O,OOO. The
same discrepancy is liable to occur in the
disposition of all the bank realty posses
sions.

suffering depositors, and get hold of as
much stockholder money as possible"

in great benefits to the trade of the United
States.

unusual proceeding, as the recognition of
the insurgents is matter for diplomatic
rather than legislative action. 1t would
most properly come before Congress by

Active HostiIities are Predicted-S othing
But War VIII Make the Powers Act.
War Preferable to Passive Resistance
to Authority - Outbreaks Expected.

APIA (Samoa) J, June 15.-Rumors
from Atua are disquieting. A large
number of natives have congre-
gated there,-armed and in a dis
contented state of mind. Every
town and every village is being
taxed for food supplies for the
thousands collected together; even
the bush in all directions is being
searched by numerous foraging
parties for wild yams and taro-
not to mention pigs and fowl. 1t
is evident that the political meet
ing at Luflufi for which these peo-
pie have assembled from far and
near will be one of more than usual
interest. The question of peace or
war with the Government at Null
nuu will be discussed at length !;
what conclusion may be arrived at
on this all important point can
only be c~1jectured. That the
war party is strong we may rest
assured, as the inaction of
the Samoan Government in re-
gard to discussion generally and
in enforcing the supreme court
writs, has disclosed a weakness
that their opponents are but too
ready to recognize. The peace
party at Lufilufi will probably be
overpowered, and in our opinion
the outcome will be active hostili-
ties. In the true interests of Samoa
we have no hesitation in saying
that, under existing circumstances,
war would be preferable to passive
resistance to authority. Nothing
but war, or some serious outrage
against foreign resident, will
bring the great powers on the
scene. Unfortunately, when the
powers are in evidence very little
is done but to further complicate
the Samoan question; neverthe-
less, by means of native outbreaks,
with their attendant evils, Samoa
is advertised and brought more
prominently into notice. 1t is a
pity that such means are neces-
sary, but facts in support of this
assertion are undeniable, and for
such facts we have not far to seek.

CHINAMAN SHOT IN THE NECK.
Monaghan Gamblers Resist Arrest.
Sixteen Locked in City Jail.

There was quite an exciting
time early last evening in the
vicinity of Piikoi and King streets.
A gang of Chinese gamblers who
had gathered in DIR. Towards
wash room were indulging in a
quiet game of fan-tan, when three
members Of the police force, led by
Lieutenant Luahiwa, surprised the
Mongols by suddenly appearing on
the scene. Through fright or some
other cause several of the number
offered resistance when an effort
was made to arrest them. This
action made it necessary for the
police to fire on the gang.
The shot from Officer Lua-
hiwa's revolver struck All Pau
at the juncture of head and
neck. The bullet very fortunately
struck the oecipital bone and
glanced off, saving the man from al
most certain death. DR.. Emerson
dressed the wound. In the scrim-
mage which followed several of the
Cinnamon escaped through the win
dows, but sixteen were brought in
