THE CASE IN COURT.
An Investigation as to How Litigants Came to
Have Pistols in Court.

An Investigation as to How Litigants Came to
Have Pistols in Court.
Not having to appear before the United
States Grand Jury yesterday, the attorneys
and litigants in the Freeman WESTINGHOUSE
case spent the day in filling the records
with charges and counter-charges as they
have been industriously doing since the
case began in United States Commissioner
Heacock's Court. A portion of yesterdays
session was devoted to an effort to asscer-
tain when, where and how Attorney
Mackaye and his client, Warren P. Free
man, who were disarmed in court, came
into possession of their weapons. The
former declared that he had brought his
pistol from New York, and carried it as
any traveller would, as a matter of pre-
caution.
1t is said that the attorneys for the other
brothers Will try to fasten charge of per-
jury on Walter K. Freeman, based on the
different statements made here and while
on the stand in other places where his
deposition has been taken. About twenty
witnesses are to be summoned TO testify
that he had spoken to them about the in
ventions which are the bone of contention
previous to the time that he states the
inventions came into his mind.
To-day the matter comes up again before
the United States Grand Jury and more
sensational charges will be brought. 1t is
said that one of the attorneys stated yester-
day that a check for $4,000 had been
shaken by one of the brothers Freeman in
the face of a second brother with the re-
mark, "That's to fix your attorney, and 1
guess your case won't be worth much to
you after he gets it,
During yesterdays session illusions were
made to stories that were printed in the
New York papers at the time that Walter
K. Freeman was incarcerated in the
Toombs, to the effect that he and hi.
attorney had concocted a scheme to force
the doors of the Jail at the muzzles of
pistols and escape.

POINTER AGAINST SETTER.
An Interesting Contest Which Will Be

An Interesting Contest Which Will Be
Decided Near Bakersfield.
A few months ago the sportsmen of this
City were anxiously looking forward to
a great field trial contest between MIR.
Crocker;s English setter, Rodschaff, and
Howard Vernon's famous pointer, Glen
beigh.
When the time arrived for the second
deposit of 500 Mr.. Croker suddenly dis.
covered that his dog had become sick and
that it would be foolish to run him in a.
special match race. However, the great
race that had become topic of converse
ton fell fiat, and the owner of the pointer
pocketed 500 which was the first deposit
to bind the match. Since then the owners
of pointers and settlers have been chatting
each other about their dogs, the pointer
men claiming that the setter can never
hope to be in it in special race ON Cali
fornia quail.
The president of the Pacific Kennel Club,
Hyppolite Beers, was so numerically ridi-
culed by Samuel F. Hughes a few evenings
ago that he actually deposited 500 and
challenged Hughes to a match race,
pointer VS.. setter, for $3.50 side.
Hughes quit dreaming the moment he
saw the five big golden eagles drop into
the hand of a temporary stakeholder, and
then collecting his senses, which were
disturbed somewhat by Beers very I'M

How the Big Pugilist Resented an In.

Hercules Miller of the San Francisco
Athletic Club came within an ace of pitch
ing a strapping big sailor into the bay at
SausaEto yesterday morning. The Jack
tar it appears got Miller angry by quizzing
him on his ability to stand punishment.
"I'll bet you So that the first good
smash you get from Sharkey you will turn
tail and jump over the ropes" said the
sailor to the big pugilist as the latter was
about to retire to his punching-bag quar-
tiers.

turned like flash on his heel, sent out his
right fist on a business trip, and in a
second afterward, man-o' war s-man was
sprawling in the street. Miller was not
satisfied. His ''dander" was now
thoroughly aroused, and grabbing the sea-
man by the coat collar, he yanked him to
the edge of the wharf and would certainly
have pitched him overheard had it not
been for the interference of some of the
members of yacht club who were watch
ing the affair.
When the climber of masts regained his
senses he changed his mind about the
result of this evenings fight and bet all
the small change he possessed that Miller
would whip Sharkey IN four rounds. He
was accommodated.

Mr.. Tobin, the young attorney men

vigorous language that he was guilty of
any wrongooing.

Mr.. Rood is even more indignant than
Mr.. Tobin. He denies DR.. Creely's
statement in toto, laying particular en-
phasis on that part of Creely's statement
concerning the chance of making $500 or
$500 out of Sanders. Rood declines to
make any further statement at present.
DR.. Greedy not only reiterates his state
ment as published in THE CALL of yester-

this thing has caused us a world of I'M

We know that our milk is frst-class-pure

get our milk from six diaries in Marin, this
particular milk seized by Dockery coming
from Manzanita station. 1t was absolutely
pure so far as that goes, but it was not up
to the standard required bv the Board of
Health. The COWS simply don't give it.
That is all there is to it.
MY father knew this and so thought to
adopt any lawful means to protect his
business, and readily fell in with the plans
as first outlined by Mr. Tobln. Later he
discovered that everything was not right

A JURORS |ND|SCRET|ON,
He Acknowledges Talking Of a
Criminal Case Under In
vestigation.
H. ]. Summerhayes Alleged to Have
Discussed Federal Grand Jury
Affairs Too Freely.

II. j. Summernayes, member of the
United States Grand Jury now investi-
eating the charges of perjury, subornation
of perjury, bribery, intimidation of wit
nesses and criminal conspiracy brought
against Attorney II. S. Mackaye, Warren
p. Freeman and Wallace E. Freeman, is
charged with, and in fact admits, conduct
in connection with the case that at the
least may be fairly said to be gravely in
discreet.
From source that is considered reliable
information regarding this new sensation
in the Freeman westinghouse case was OBJ
tanned yesterday. The story in substance
is as follows:
On Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock
Summerhayes who dined at the Palace
Hotel, met Mr.. Church-the attorney for
Walter K. Freeman, the plaintiff in the
case OF Freeman vs.. the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company
and Walter K. Freeman in the billiard
room of the hotel, and conversation en-
sued which lasted for nearly four hours.
In the course of this long talk he is alleged
to have stated that he had been grand
juror in this City for a number of years.
and gave the general impression that he
was professional Juror.
He states that he was interested in cleo
tricity and contemplated taking a course
of special instruction from one of the
Westinghouse Company's experts in New
York named Tesla. He said he was the
only electrician on the Grand Jury and
that the Grand Jury would decide the mat
ter of the charges pending against Mackaye
and the two Freeman brothers as he sug-
gested.
He is also credited with asserting that
he thought it was shame that grand
jurors got only 81 a day, while other peo-
pie were getting so much money from the
Westinghouse Company. He added that
he understood there was $4,000 of West
inghouse's money here to be used to help
that side of the litigation.
1t is further stated that he rehearsed the
testimony of Warren P. Freeman as given
to the Grand Jury on Tuesday last and
that he declared he would not believe
Warren under oath, judging him from the
way he acted before that body. Reference
was also made by him to the testimony of
Morvin L. Freeman, and he is reported to
have said that Morvin appeared to be
holding something back relative to the
record of Warren P. Mr.. Summerhayes
then, it is claimed, asked for a tip which
he could use to extract further information
from Morvin. He also criticized the
other witnesses who are to testify before
the Grand Jury, including frankie Ames,
the woman in the case, and the impression
they made upon him.
He is then said to have closely ques-
toned Walter K. Freeman as to whether
or not the Fort Wayne Electrical Com
pany, which is credited with backing Wal
ter K. Freeman in the suit against the
Westinghouse Company, had plenty of
money, and said he understood the West
inghouse Company had $50. 900 here to be
