an Agent of Architect
Rushforth.
NINE JURORS SWORN IN.
Three Men Implicated in the Alleged
Crime Will Testify for the
People.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 22.-Much in
terest in official and political circles now
centers about the second trial of James
Brown, chairman of the Board OF Super

of having accepted a bride for his vote IN
favor of Architect Rushforth's plans for
the new County Hospital. The trial was
begun in Judge Smiths department OF
the Superior Court this morning. At the
last trial the jury stood seven to five for
conviction.
Brown does not appear to feel confident
about his acquittal. Within the past few
days he sent for an important witness
who testified against him at the former
trial in order to learn just how much
would be said against him in the present
trial.
Ward, Bulson and Rushforth were all
present III court this morning ready to
substantiate their statements made at the
former trial. Ward was convicted and his
appeal is now before the Supreme Court.
Bulscn turned States evidence at the first
trial and is expected to repeat his testi-
mony The peoples case is being pre-
sented by both District Attorney Nutter
and Assistant District Attorney Deyries,
while Brown is represented by Attorneys
Swinnerton and Louttit.
The point on which the case hinged at
the former trial was the testimony OF ac-
knowledged accomplices. Rushforth, Ward
and Bulson each admitted that they had
hand in bribing the Supervisor. but the
defense claimed that there was no corrobo-
rative evidence, without which a man
could not be convicted on the
testimony OF any number of ac-
completes. District Attorney Nutter
holds receipt given by Brown to DR..
Bulson for some OF Rushforth's money.
which the young physician says was paid
to the Supervisor. This the District At
torney claims to be sufficient corrobora-
tive evidence. but he could not make the
jury in the former case see it that way,
seven standing for acquittal and five for
conviction.

and sworn to-day: J. B. Blankenshlp,

on Farmer McDade's ranch, disregarding
signs prohibiting hunting on the premises,
will not be tried a second time. The case

rounded the premises, but ten hunters
who claimed to be familiar with the land
testified that there was no fence on the
west end which extended to the tules. Nc
Dade admitted that it was year since he
had been down to the western extremity of
his land. The attorneys on each side
agreed to send men out to Mr.. McDade' s

Serious Charges Against the
Columbia National Bank
President.
ACCUSED OF ENLIGHTENMENT
The Aged Capitalist Unable to Secure
Bail and Guarded by an
officer.

TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 22.-MaioI
Henry Oliver, president of the Columbian
National Bank, was arrested this afternoon
on serious charges preferred against him
by Bank Examiner Charles Clary. The
complaint was sworn to before Justice Nc
Murray and charges Mr.. Oliver with six
separate offenses. The first five are fol-
unlawfully and feloniously embezzing
and converting to his own use certain
sums of money coming into his possession
in his capacity as president of the bank,
with intent to injure and defraud the
bank. The amounts and times of these
alleged embezzlements are as follows
January 81, 1894, $4,000; February 81, 1894
$500; March 10, 1894, $1375 May 81 1894
50; August 5, 1895, $11.
The sixth charge is that on March g.
1894, Oliver, as president of the bank, I'M
lawfully and feloniously paid and delivered
TO George W. Boggs $500 of the moneys OF
the bank.
Major Oliver has up to this time been
prominent in city affairs, coming here
some four years ago from Ohio and organ
izing the Columbia National Bank and
the German-American Savings Bank. He
became president of both, and until this
fall has been president OF the School
Board. In this connection he is charged
with having caused the election of H. L.
Notaw to the secretaryship of the School
Board, thereby insuring the retention OF
deposits at his bank, thus preventing its
closing last fall.
Major Oliver claims in answer to the
oh do 81 NV T. "
aminer Clary that the sums utilized by
him were sent him to invest by Cincin-
natl friend, who also held 900 of the
Columbia Bank stock. These investments
were always carefully placed, and his Gin
cinnati client was kept we'll informed of
the disposition Of his money. In no case
was bank money converted 10 outside uses.
The arrest of Major Oliver caused sem
sation, as it was thought with all the
crooked work uncovered lately by the
closing of this bank he alone would be
able to clear himself of any suspicion of
wrong. He is a prominent member of the
Loyal Legion, Knights Templar, knights
of Pythias and several minor orders.
On Bank Examiner Clary's statements
Justice McMarry fixed Major divers bail
at $4,000. The lateness of the hour pre-
vented his procuring the required amount
this evening and he was remanded to the
custody of the Constable, who will stay
with him at his rooms over the bank.
Mr.. Oliver, who is a bachelor, about 90
years old, is Frustrated over his arrest
and disclaims any crime, such as is
charged by Bank Examiner Ulary.
This is the ninth arrest since the ere
form waven struck the city. Ex-County
Treasurers, County Commissioners, the
president of the Board of Public Works,
bank cashiers and bank presidents have
been jailed. Major divers arrest is con-
sidered, next to Boggs', the most i'm portant
yet made. 1t is not thought he will be
able to procure the amount of bail re-
quired. and falling he viii have to go to
jail tomorrow night.

WOMEN LEND THEIR AID.
LabOrfng to Secure u Government Build.
iH0 for Stockton.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 22.-The ladies
of the Commercial Association have
played an important part in the work of
the organization since it was formed.
They assisted in raising money for the San
Joaquin Railroad and have taken great
interest in the subject of improvements for
the city.
The members of the different woman's
committees met this afternoon and decided
to secure signers to monster petition
asking the next Congress to appropriate
$3.50 900 for Government Postoffice build
ing for this city. They propose to go
about the matter in a systematic manner
and secure signers all over San Joaquin
County. The idea is entirely original with
them, and they are virtually taking the
lead in the matter. Congressman Johnson
has promised to do his best to secure the
appropriation, and if he fails it will not be
the fault OF the women of Stockton.

governing the institutions was, in his opin-
ion, all right, but it was very poorly adj
ministered. He did believe that leglsla-
ton was needed putting the power of dis
charge in the hands of the medical direc-
tor, but he knew to a certainty that pa
tients could be supported more cheaply at
asylums than at hospitals. Director Nc
Dougal of Stockton agreed with this state
ment, and cited the San Joaquin Hospital
as an instance.

criterion to go by. Your hospital is under

Director Miller and Governor Budd then
had spirited discussion of the eXorbitant
cost of provisions for the Southern Cali
fornia asylum in comparison with that of
other asylums.
You have potatoes charged up at 81 10
per sack, and the others charge only 55
cents; tea costs "a cents per pound, in the
others IA cents" said the Governor
Miller remarked that he considered tea
at such price too vile to be used by any
one, and that provisions cost more on
account of higher rates of transportation.
81 can't understand that" said the Gov
ernor. "You have a port OF entry and
competing railroads. l fear there must be
a ombination among the bidders"
~ can't say as to that, replied Miller.
II can only say we buy at the lowest bid
der's price"
John Steffens of this city, director of
the Stockton Insane Asylum, offered
resolution affirming as the sense OF the
conference that the superintendent OF the
insane asylums should discharge from the
asylums all patients who ought to be dis
charged. The sense of the conference was
further that if the superintendent did not
have that power laws should be passed
granting them such power. The resolution
was unanimously adopted, after which the
subject OF inequality. of wages was intro
duced and discussed.
Secretary of State Brown stated that the
assistant physician at Stockton received
$2500, while the assistant physician at
Napa got but $500.
Howe of Napa introduced a resolution
providing for the appointment Of a
committee of one director from each
asylum, to be elected by their individual
board, this committee to be empowered to
codify the number of assistants and
the list of salaries, examine into
the best method of procuring pro-
visions, and frame law governing
State asylums, which would take the place
OF all existing laws the same to be placed
before the next Legislature. This was car
ried unanimously. The committee was
also empowered to provide similar sys-
TEN of bookkeeping. It was agreed that
next meeting of the board, and that in
company with the Governor and Secre-
tary of State a tour of the asylums be
made.
