dence out as being of privileged charac-
ter. The Supreme Court declares this to
have been fatal error, as the rule regard
ing privileged communications holds only
in civil cases, and Dr.. West is given an
other chance.
The case against West was well and
widely known as involving one of the most
sensational and mysterious crimes in the
criminal history of California. 1t started
with the finding of human head envel-
oped in a wire screen, tied to one of the
piles of little wharf near Lime Point.
Why the screened head was there at once
became question, which was settled by
the theory that some medical student had
left it there until the salt water should
leave the skull bare and ready to be
mounted. But investigation was steadily
pursued, and by the filling in the teeth,
the shape of what few features were left
and the long hair, it was partly identified
as the skull of Miss Addie Gilmour, a
young lady of Colusa County, who had
come to San Francisco several weeks pre-

Governments witnesses are here, your
Honor, and l think their testimony should

United States Commissioner Heacock
then wanted to swear Mrs. Dean, but she
refused and instructed her attorney to tes-
tify for her. Hewitt then to the best of his
knowledge and belief swore that his client
expected aid from her father in Illinois.
She mailed a letter to him yesterday and
expects an answer in about two weeks.
'Does she require this money to procure
additional counsel and to pay the expenses
Of this trial?" asked Knight, and the an
swer was "Yes, she does"

ponement," said Commissioner Heacock.

the prisoner wants additional counsel she
would of course desire that her attorney
should cross-examine the Government s
witnesses. How much time do you want
Mr.. HEWITT"
The prisoners attorney asked for three
weeks, but that was opposed by the District
Attorney on the ground that Mrs. Dean
was not sure that her monetary assistance
would arrive at that time, and the case
might then have to go over again. Com
missioner Heacock cut the discussion short
by setting Friday March 8, as the date on
which he would hear the case.

the first of the kind west of the Mississippi
and will be one of eight now in operation
in the world.
At first, with the means at hand and the
promised aid, it will be impossible to do
more than establish a receiving home to
care for orphans in actual need.
Mrs. DIR. Noble stated that for temper
ary purposes house had been secured in
San Rafael at low rent and that it is the
intention to enter into it as soon as pos
sible.
Some discussion, in which many of those
present took part, followed, as to how to
furnish the rooms for the use of inmates.
1t was finally decided to ask the pastors of
the Presbyterian churches all over the
State to bring the matter before their re-
spective congregations and to suggest to
those who intended donating beds and
bedding, to purchase iron bedsteads; the
others, however, will not be rejected.
Upon the suggestion of Miss Partridge it
was decided to set Washington's birthday
apart for the purpose of receiving dona-
tions at the new home and at a later date
to have the formal opening.
Mrs. l.. A. Kelley of lila Leavenworth

Denniston of 524 Twenty-frst street, and
Alfred Docking, Mrs w. B. Noble and
Mrs. A. e. Kent of San Rafael were ap-
pointed a committee to receive donations.
The Rev. Mr. Steuart of the Second
United Presbyterian Church spoke in en-
couraging terms of the project and prom
ised to interest his congregation in it.
1t was reported that nearly 500 of the
$1,000 needed to place the new home, on
sure footing had been subscribed and that
several persons had promised aid, so that
before the next meeting the amount re-
quired will have been secured.
The necessity for a fresh-air fund and
place where tired workers can secure rest
and country home at nominal cost was
discussed, but as those are matters for the
future no action was taken.

MRS. DEAN,

purchased bottle of sarsaparilla from him
for 81 and paid for it with a counterfeit $40
bill. He gave her the correct change, and
is therefore out 50 and bottle of sarsa pa
rilla.
Some of the other witnesses in attend
ance were Frank W. Seary, commission
merchant on Twelfth street, Oakland, from
whom Mrs. Dean purchased two chickens.
n. E. Fry, a produce merchant on Elev-
enth street, Oakland, from whom she pur-
chased half a ham. J. B. Finnigan, a
poulterer, at 1888 Broadway, Oakland,
from whom she purchased a chicken. All
these tradespeople were paid with $40
counterfeit bills, and their looks did not
express much sympathy for the prisoner,
as she sat, apparently unconcerned, beside
her attorney.
The man who suffered most at the hands
of the fair prisoner was William Cline, the
Market-street grocer. He was not present
in court, but his salesman who accepted
the counterfeits was there. Mrs. Dean,
according to Joseph Joseph, the salesman
in question, purchased a roll of butter
about two weeks ago and paid for it with a
counterfeit bill. An hour later she again
visited the store and bought some sugar,
paying for it with another bogus bill.
Joseph has positively identified Mrs. Dean
and boils over with rage when be thinks of
the counterfeits passed on him.
The other witnesses present were J. D.
Harris, Deputy United States Secret Serv-
ice Agent, and Detective Dennis Holland
of the Oakland police force.
Mrs. Dean is as self-possessed woman
as ever sat at the bar of justice. She would
not be sworn, but in collected manner
instructed her attorney to take the oath
for her and answer the questions which
would be necessary to secure a postpone
ment. She is under the average height
and would be considered handsome were
it not for the look of set determination
that seems habitual to her countenance.
Her complexion is good, her eyes are
large, black as night, and take in every
thing at glance. Her nose is straight
and finely nodded, and her teeth, which
she shows in conversation, are good. Her
chin is pointed and gives the impression
that if put to the pinch Mrs. Dean would
act without mercy.
This fair passer of counterfeit money
was quietly but extensively dressed. Her
gown was of the best black cashmere,
while costly velvet circular cloak was
worn carelessly on her shoulders. A
stylish hat surmounted her pretty head,
and she made the prettiest picture that
Commissioner Heacock has had before
him, as Judge, for many long day.
When the case was called K. E. Hewitt
of Oakland appeared for Mrs. Dean, and
United States District Attorney knight
appeared for the Government Hewitt
opened the proceedings by asking for a
continuance. "My client has written to
her relatives" said the attorney, "and
she expects aid from them. She does not
propose to allow this examination to pass
without fighting it, and in order to do so
she requires the sinews of war"

HASN'T VOUCHERS ENOUGH.
The Mechanics Institute Sues Its
Ex.IreaSurer.
They Wish Mr.. Firth to Prove Where a
Large Sum Of Money
Went.

j. K. Firth, ex-treasurer of the Mechan-
ics' Institute, has been made defendant in
a suit brought by the Mechanics Institute
to recover $1,000.
The complaint states that while Firth
was treasurer of the institute from March
10, 1892, to March IL, 1893, he collected $43,-
657 90 for the institution, the greater part
OF which he has paid back. 1t is alleged,
however, that $500 of the amount was
never turned in, and now the institute is
suing to recover that sum, and $500 more,
claimed as damages for the erratic and ex-
tremely negligent manner In which he
kept the books. The suit is brought against
Firth, with David Kerr and Edwin Fret
well, sureties on his bond, as parties.
"A. 3. Hallidie, president of the Me-
chanlcs' Institute, says concerning the suit
against Firth and his bondsmen:
At the last meeting OF the board OF
directors OF the Mechanics Institute Gros-
yenor L. Ayers, chairman or our finance
committee, submitted report OF the COM
mlttee concerning a shortage OF 5000 which
arose during Mr.. Firth s terms of office.
This shortage Is nothing more nor less
than money paid out for which Mr.. Firth
can produce no vouchers. He has offered
no explanation except that the money was
pald out by him for legitimate expenses.
Such an explanation was not satisfactory
10 the finance committee and they recon-
mended suit against Mr. Firth and his
cerned the whole affair is a mystery, and
we want it judicially determined where
that $500, for which Mr.. Firth has no
vouchers, has gone.'

viously and who had disappeared. Then
it became known that Miss Gilmour' s
errand here was to hide her shame and de-
stroy its evidence, and then the investi-
gators found she had visited DR.. West and
had never left his house alive. DR.. West
was arrested at once.
He denied the charge, but almost in the
midst of his denial the news came from
Oakland that trunk and an oilcan con-
tanning the viscera and lower limbs of the
body of a woman had been cast up on the
beach. Articles in the trunk and marks
upon the body positively identified it as
that of Miss Gilmour and then DIR. West
told his story. She had come to his house
and had died there, and fearing an investi-
CATION he had given the remains to medi-
cal students.
The theory of the prosecution in the Su-
perior courts was that criminal operation
had been performed on Miss Gilmour by
DR.. West and that she died from its effects
a few days later. The theory of the de-
tense was that the operation was performed
upon Miss Gilmour before she went to DIR.
West, and that he, as physician, received
her and did all he could to relieve her and
to save her life. To sustain this theory the
defense called DR.. Johnson as witness.
No objection to him testifying was inter-
posed by the prosecution, but the court in
quired as to how he had gained the infor-
nation which he was expected to impart.
He was asked if it had come to him in
purely professional way, and he admitted
that such was the fact, whereupon Judge
Wallace declared that his information had
come to him in the form of a privileged
communication and it was therefore mad
missible.
Counsel for the defense then offered to
prove by DR.. Johnson that Miss Gilmour
had called upon him, what her condition
was at the time, and that he refused to
treat her. This, counsel said, would be
shown to have happened prior to the time
she went to DR.. West. The court refused

UPON His beam ENDS.
A Nautical Professor Is in Hard
Straits.
The Tutor Of Count Festeties Gives
Opposing Counsel a Sample of His
Best Irony.

Captain Edmund McNevin, the old-time
teacher of navigation, was up on an order
of examination before Justice of the Peace
Groezinger yesterday. Very few men are
as well known on the water front as Cap
tain McNevin. Both as chartmaker and
professor of nautical science he achieved
reputation. Several years ago his name
was prominently mentioned on account of
the suit he brought against the Count
Festetlcs to recover a certain sum for teach
ing the young nobleman the mysteries of
chart and sextant. 1t was ON the famous
yacht Tolna, on which the Count and
South Seas that Captain McNevin claimed
to have given to the Austrian Count his
first lessons in the art of navigation.
During the last campaign McNevin ran
on one OF the tickets as Supervisor from the
Third Ward for one of the unexpired
terms. In politics Captain McNevin turned
out to be like sailor on land. He did not
~un we'll.
AS candidate he was obliged to spend
some money for election purposes. One
of his bills was $50 for printing, done by
G. B. Benham. Failing to get his money
from the old navigator, and one time
teacher of the Count Festetics, Benham
sued McNevin in the Justices Court, and
secured Judgment which he was unable
to satisfy. So Benham had McNevin sum-
moned on an order of examination as to
why he did not pay the $50.
Captain McNevin testified on the stand
that he had no money. He acknowledged
the bill, but said he could not pay it.
He had a number of nautical instru-
ments. but as these were used by him in
teaching navigation, they were exempt
from execution.
Il have a $3.50 watch,' said Captain
McNevin, "but that is in pawn for $40"
McNevin produced the pawn ticket,
which was Immediately levied upon by
deputy Sheriff in satisfaction of Benham's
claim.
Quite display of feeling was exhibited
between the doughty old navigator and At
torney P. A. Chilstrom for the plaintiff. 1t
seems that Chilstrom was formerly Nc
Nevin's attorney and knew all about his
affairs. Attorney Chilstrom asked him if
he had not given $1,000 bonds some time
ago.
Eyes" replied McNevin, "and it was on
your advice that I gave the bonds. They
were given jointly with my wife, and she
had the property"
The court decided that it was better not
to go into this matter.
When leaving the stand McNevin was
very angry, and turning to Chilstrom said:
81 gave you once 25 cents to get meal on,
and | have not seen the money since. am
willing to make this claim one of my as
SETS"
The plaintiffs attorney smiled a sickly
smile and bowed, but did not deny the as
sertion made by the exasperated navigator.
This ended the examination.

soon as the preliminaries could be settled
it would be incorporated.
Mr.. Docking explained at length the
purpose of the organization. The object is
ultimately to secure large farm, build
cottages on it and establish departments
in which boys can be taught useful trades
and girls housekeeping and all the duties
of housewives. In con1Section with this
there will be a fresh-air system, under
which the children on the farm will be
taken to country places for several days
periodically, where they may rest from
study and work. This is all to be carried
on under the auspices of the Presbyterian
churches of the State, and the class of
children who will be received will be or

1t was ordered that hereafter the privi-
leges of the library at Berkeley shall be

upon their filing certificates of their stand
ing and depositing five dollars each with
the librarian. The committee on grounds
and buildings was instructed to take steps
toward having the library lighted with

The resignation of s. P. Huntington, in
structor in the Romance languages, was ac-
cepted.
Upon the recommendation of the aca-
demic senate the degree of bachelor of let

had suggested that some evergreen plants
indigenous to California could be planted
out on certain parts to relieve the monot-

matter and be given power to act. He said
that the regents had been trying for fifteen

HAWAIIAN POLITICS.

Arthur Rodgers Lectures Before the
Political Science Club.
Arthur Rodgers delivered an address on
some of the political problems he had
studied during his late visit to the Ha-
waiian Islands before the Political Science
Club of the university extension course at
the Hopkins Institute of Art last evening.
He graphically pictured the many unique
social conditions of the people of the island
republic and touched upon the political
problems presented
The most instructing part of the lecture
was on the generous but weak character
istics of the natives and the sad picture of
their gradual decrease and probable ulti-
mate entire disappearance. In 1882 there
were 10000 natives in the islands, but they
have been decreasing in number at the
rate of | per cent per annum and now
number but 10000.
