WITH A LOCKSM|TH'S AID
How DR.. James Apartments
Are Alleged to Have Been
Seized
BY HIS PUTATIvE WIDOW.
Interesting AffidayIts Shading
Light on Strange State Of
Siege.

Affidavits of George D. Shadburne, w.
J. Herrin, George Hudson, W. H. Grim
and Maria Mangan were filed Yesterday,
throwing some further light on the matter
| OF the estate of the late DR.. Charles A.
James. 1t Will be embered that after
ms death one Laura Milen claimed to be
MS WIDOW by the authority of contract
marriage, and that it is contended that she
Is In possession OF the doctors house on
Howard street.
George ID. Shadburne is the ATTORNEY for
the James absent heirs and J. D. Sullivan
represents the administrator of the estate.
Shadburne says that DR.. James died on
January 2S, 1895, and that his housekeeper,
Miss Maria Mangan, held possession of
the house at 925 Howard street from that
date until March %, 1895, when Laura
Mllen took possession of the private apart
ments of the late doctor. Other six rooms
were rented for S45, and that since the
mllens' presence all these tenants ex-
cept two have left. The private apart
ments, he says, would rent at $50 month.
and the whole house if cleaned and re.
paired could be rented unfinished for $50
month,
Shadburne says he served on March %
an order on the administrator to show
cause why ne should not rent the premises
and that on March %, while the admins
traitor was absent, Laura Milen, by the adj
wee OF her attorney, w. III. H. Hart, and
with the aid of a locksmith, one Rapiohn,
TOOK forclble possession of the private
apartments, of the deceased, together with
all the personal property, papers and
effects, and has held the same ever since.
Thereafter Shadburne says he, by consent
OF the administrator, demanded the re-
moval OF the trespasser Laura Milen, but
could not obtain the administrators sigma
ture to the necessary order. He declares
that the administrator subsequently told
him that he had offered Attorney Hart the
building at $50 month, but could not OBJ
tain any positive assurance that this ar
rangement had been consummated
Shadburne further AYERS that he thinks
Thomas Milen has no means of renting
the house and that the real lessee is Attor-
ney Hart; that DR.. James was the COM
FOUNDER of a valuable medicine, from
which he derived large revenue, the
formula of which he kept secret, and that,
"by reason of the Vaccinations aforesaid"
said Milens and their attorney are in abso-
lutte possession and control of said prem
lses and all the papers and private effects
OF the deceased, and the formula, and are
openly reading said medicines greatly to
the detriment of said estate and the inter
ests of the heirs.
The other affidavits are merely corrober-
alive OF the state of things as alleged by
Attorney Shadburne.

FAIR WHEAT NOT SOLD.
The Board Much Excited Over a Re.
ported Syndicate Deal.

The Board Much Excited Over Re-
ported Syndicate Deal.
The Fair, or as it is more properly
known, the syndicate wheat" has not
been sold. At least that is what Mr..
Bresse of McGlaufiin & Co. says, and he is
one of the interested parties.
The wheat market yesterday was de-
cidedly active in the way of offerings,
though no very big sales were made. at
the afternoon session a rumor was spread
on Change that the syndicate had at last
dumped its 10000 tons on the market.
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. and one or two
others equally well known being the pur-
chasers.
All of this, however, did not affect the
price of wheat. The market opened at
81 0512 and closed at 81 065s, the highest De-
cember quotation during the day being
81 o.. Only small quantity was sold at
this price.
The Fair wheat has not been sold. ;" said
Mr.. Bresse last night. at is quite proba-
bic that the parties named, Balfour, Guth-
Will be the purchasers, though nothing
has been done in that direction as yet" .

MRS. CHR|STY'S IDENTITY.
Carl Won Tiedemann ATTEMPTS
to Show She Was Mrs.
Spencer Owen.
Some Of the Witnesses Badly Tan
gled Up by the Prose-
Cution.

The defense of Carl Won Tiedemann.
charged with felony in filing a forged doc
ument for record, was resumed yesterday
in Judge Belcher's court. For the first
time the identity of Mrs. Spencer Owen as
the personator of Mrs. Harriet Christy,
whose land it was attempted to fraudu-
Iently transfer was brought forward to be
proved. While photograph alleged to be
that of Mrs. Owen was identified as that of
the alleged Mrs. Christy by some witnesses.
the latter were somewhat mixed in their
statements under cross-examination.
After Mrs. Pullen had been recalled and
nothing of moment had been elected in
her examination j. Wilkins, bookkeeper
1or Won Iledemann, was put on the stand.
He testified that he had always known
Mrs. Spencer Owen as "Mrs. Christy" or
Mrs. Owen indiscriminately, and had been
instructed to deliver all notes addressed to
Mrs. Christy to Mrs. Owen. He had been
cognizant of plots between Carr, Whitcomb
Pratt, Fletcher, Egbert and others to deal
IN outside lands belonging to unconscious
strangers, but had declined to have any,
thing to do with them and had been abused
for his pains. Won Tiedemann had known
nothing about these transactions and had
evidently believed the 'Mrs. Christv'
affair to be a genuine piece of business.
The witness had not informed Won Tiede-
mann nor the police of the nefarious over
tnres made to him.
The forged deed was recorded on March
6, 1894, and on March / the witness saw
Mrs. Owen or Christy sign deed and
mortgage in Fletcher's office. He under
stood she had property near the park, on
Lake avenue, which she wished to give to
Won Tiedemann to sell for her for $50, 900.
He afterward, on March 6, saw deed de-
livered by Won Tiedemann to Mrs. Christy
and man named Thayer, whom he de-
scribed as small man with black mus
tache.
Here the Judge, at the Assistant District
Attorneys request, instructed the witness
that he might decline to answer any ques-
ton when the answer might tend to in
criminate him.
Wilkins told how on the 9th of March
some papers were delivered to Thayer and
Pratt, who is understood to have been the
convict Fidler, and how Tiedemann had
accepted note drawn by Pratt for $1,000
at 10 per cent per month interest for his
commission. Egbert and stranger were
also present at the meeting. The note was
offered in evidence, as well as a letter from
Pratt offering $1,000 for certain property
in Won Tiedemann's hands for SALE
Wilkins was the principal witness of the
day. John Forney, bartender, was also
called to corr0borate his testimony, but,

KILLED BY a BLOW.

An Unknown Man Causes the Death
of Charles KoelIing.
Charles Koelling, who was hit on the
head by an unknown man at GAL Folsom
street on May ID last, died yesterday from
the effects of his injuries. Koelling was
building brick oven at 941 Folsom street
on May ID, but was interrupted in his work
by some hoodlums, whom he drove from
the house. One of them waited for him as
he left the house about dark, having fin
ished his work, and as he passed hit him
on the head with a brick.
Koelling was taken to his home at $50
Mission street, where he lay unconscious
until his death yesterday. So far no ar
rests have been made, nor has any clew to
the murderer been developed.

THEY WANT BOULEvARDS,
A Committee of the HaIf-MiI-
lion Club FaVorS the
Improvements.
An Appropriation Of $4,000 to Be
Asked for Preliminary Data
and Maps.

The Half-million Club committee on
streets and boulevards held an important
meeting yesterday afternoon at which four
proposed lines of City boulevards were dis.
cussed. They were as follows:
Beginning at the north end of Van Ness
avenue passing west to the Preside, thence
south along First and Twenty-fourth avenues
to the park.
Beginning at the park, passing along Seventh
From the west end of Market street along
Corbett road to the Ocean House road and
thence the Ocean House.
No decision was reached as to what par
tlcuiar route should be favored as the com
mlttee desired to obtain data and figures
which might be presented to the Board of
Supervisors. There is some expense at
tached to the collection of this information
and Tor that reason Mr.. Bunker offered a
resolution as follows:
Resolued, That the committee on streets and
boulevards recommends that the Half-million
Cluo SEND communication to the Board of
Supervslssso sc asking them to appropriate the
sum OF $4,000 for the purpose of obtaining
maps ana collecting data for system of City
boulevards connecting with the proposed
boulevard to San Jose.
The resolution was adopted unanim-
ously.
At the request of J. ]. McEwen, who
sPoho !oI Ine DlcycI1StS or TINS city, the
committee adopted the following:
Resolved, That this committee approves the
proposed Folsom-street boulevard and ask that
the executive committee of the Half-million
CLUB approve the plan for boulevard on Fol-
som street as already outlined and commune
cate such approval to the Board of Supervisors.
Several speeches were made concerning
the advantages to accrue from system of
boulevards. Mr.. Sonntag instanced Euclid
avenue of Cleveland, Ohio, as an example
OF the advertising which fine boulevard
affords Its city, and stated that he visited
that municipality simply to see that thor
oughfare.

Stage

The BOARD of public works is still on the
worth, VINO has cha arge of the street sweep
ing. and yesterday filed report to the
council as follows:
The superintendent of street sweeping
has reported that the following streets
have not been properly cleaned sincs our

The lack OF labor performed in the
above will tomorrow be deducted from
the street sweepers' weekly bills. Tho
end OF the row between the council and
Holingsworth will probably be that the
street sweeping contract will at an early
day be readvertised.
Hollingsworth still insists that he is
doing his work properly and that there is
a scheme on foot to freeze him out in
favor OF another. He is keeping tab of
all the sums deducted from his bills. with
the end, SO ne says. of at an early day
bringing suit against the city for the
recovery Of the amount.
