W. Il. DAVIS EXONERATED.

Judge Bahrs Declares the Charge of
Embezzlement Unfounded.
Judge Bahrs yesterday ordered the
charge of embezzlement against II. h.
Davis to be dismissed
Much comment was created when the
allegation of fraud was made against
the attorney. The facts as alleged
were these: Simon Davis, drummer in
the Tivoli orchestra, was severely hurt
on the O'Farrell-street cars. He con-
tracted with the attorney to bring suit
against the company, the latter to be al
lowed all he got above $175. Tired of
hiring substitutes and of delays, he sold
the claim to his attorney for 125. Attorney
Davis subsequently made settlement for
$500, and then drummer Simon Davis,
through John T. Aitken, claimed 1915 as
money secured for him and an Indictment
by the Grand Jury was secured.
In directing the jury to find for the de-
PENDANT, Judge Bahrs said: There is alb
solutely no testimony to upheld the
charge. Since the claim was sold outright
to Attorney Davis, it makes no difference
what settlement be may have made with
the railway company. Had he been acting
merely as an agent, then the plaintiff
Davis would have had right of complaint
had any sum received not been paid over
to him.

Blanche Lamont's rings, General Dickin-
son said yesterday:
1.-THE prosecution will not call any ex.
perts. They know that handwriting is a
matter that won't stand too much scrutiny.
only wish they would use a stereopticon
and throw the writing on those exhibits

long to demonstrate our claim in that re-
gard"
The deposition of c. II. Clark, which
was taken in the East and forwarded to
the court, will soon be introduced by the
defense, but the evidence it contains is
not expected to be of any great value to
the defendant. Clark is the wine salesman
who informed the attorneys for Durrant
that he saw Blanche Lamont on the
Powell-streets car with man other than
Durrant on the afternoon of April 3, and
who subsequently decided he was mis-
taken.
Mayor Sutro received a letter from a
woman yesterday, who signed herself
asserts that Blanche Lamont was killed
in Golden Gate Park and her body carried
to the church.
The woman, who is quite evidently one
of the many cranks that have developed in
the case claims she was one of party of
three ladies-Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams being the other two-who went
10 the park the evening OF April s, IN COM
pany with three men. One is described as
being forty years old, while the other two
were young. She says she is convinced
Durrant was one of them, although she
did not knew their names, as the other two
since met her on the street and threat
ened to kin her if she revealed ANYTHING.
She claims that Misses Williams and La
mont had a quarrel over Durrant, out OF
which the first murder grew, and that Miss
Williams was put out of the way because
of her knowledge of the affair. The
woman also claims that the diamond ring
in possession of the police is not Blanche
Lamont's, but hers, she having exchanged
| rings with the murdered girl.

As the time set for the great event

as if the worry will be to say how many OF
those who wish to come may attend and
who will be the elect. There have been GOO
tickets asked for. The banquet-hall of the
California Hotel will not accommodate
anything like that number, and the ques-

Reducing Sailors, Wages.

AT a meeting of the Coast Seamen's Union
last evening the Ship-owners' Associations pro-
posed reduction of wages was discussed The
REDUCTION is to go into effect to-day, and by ii
month, according to the vessel and trip. The
sailors are inclined to make light of the pro.
posed reduction and treat the whole affair as a
huge joke on the part of the ship-owners.
They say they will not ship on vessels CON
trolled by the association at any reduction.
Instead they will go to the vineyards and pick
grapes or sail On deep-water vessels.

naval battle was manned by the Spanish
in the Don Carlos civil war of 1886,
