Summoned to Rome.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. s.-Rev.
Charles M. DriscolI, o. s. A., provincial OF
the Augustinian order of America. has
been summoned to Rome, and sails from
New York to-day. The summons of
Father Driscoll to Rome leaves no doubt
that Mgr. Satolli has been recalled and
that Mgr. Sebastian Martinelli has been
appointed PapaI delegate to America.
Mgr. Martinelli is prior-general of the
Augustinian order, and the only reason
there can be for summoning Father Dris-
coll is to assist in the election OF success
sor to the pri0r-general.

Los ANGELES SENSATION
Witnesses Accuse the Late Don
Manuel Coronel of For
gerry
Miguel Antunez Claims He Saw {
Bogus Signature Attached
to a Trust Deed.
Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CALL,
1923 SOUTH BROADWAY.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 8.
The sensation of yesterday in the Yndart-
Coronel suit was decidedly in favor of the
defense. The yellow piece of foolscap
paper on which Francisco depends for the
successs of his contest for fortune has
been very much in evidence during the
trial, being frequently alluded to and han
died. With its torn upper right-hand
corner, from which small piece Is miss
ing, it has been the object OF curious in
yestigation by all connected with the case.
The defense yesterday produced wit
ness whose testimony if sustained "knocks
the bottom out,' of the plaintiffs case.
This witness was Miguel Antunez.
''Do you know" asked the attorney for
the defense, 'who wrote the signature
Antonio f. Coronep affixed to this docu-
ment?" handing Antnmez the trust docu-
ment upon which Francisco Ynardts s
claim rests.
ayes, sir" replied Antumez, quietly.
"Who was it ?"
manuel Coronel."
"Did he copy it from memory or from
something else?"
Something else"
"What2"
81 have the papers in my pocket" and
Antunez produced two slips OF paper
which had been carefully wrapped in a
piece OF newspaper. They bore the sigma
ture of Antonio F. Coronel.
.Where did Manuel sign Antonio's
name to this document?"
''In room of house upstairs where
lived in 1894"
Chow did he do it?"
''Put it on top OF another paper"
II these statements are established as
the truth, then the trust document was
conjurei up and Manuel Coronel, whose
whereabouts no one seems to know,
evolved q most ingenious plan to steal a
big slice of the Coronel estate. 1t that
theory be correct, it would explain the abb
sence of Mrs. Garfas, who claims to have
had the document in her possession many
years.
Jose Sanchez, an aged Spaniard, testified
to-day that he had been made conf
dant of by Manuel Coronel. After the
alleged trust deed had been handed to the
witness he said:
"Don Manuel told me had good bust.
ness for me. He told me he wanted me to
look for some good lawyer to bring case
against Antonio CoronePs estate. This
will open the case, he said, and he pulled
out this paper. But he said 1t was not fin
ished yet. Another witness, Guzman, had
to sign. saw him again five or six days
after that. Manuel askedi If had seen any
lawyers. He told me not to tell any one
about the document. He pulled it out,
and there was Guzman's signature. saw
it a fourth time in February, 1895. Don
Manuel still had it. When first saw the
paper it was in the same condition it is
now; the piece on the corner was torn off. -
Jose said that his friendly relations con-
tinued with Don Manuel until Septem ber
last, when Manuel told him that all had
been discovered.

Los ANGELES. CAL, Aug. 6.-Davd
A. Madden, 43 years of age, has banker
ing after $4,000, and, though that is big
sum OF money for day laborer, it is
doubtful if any one would accept it and go
through the experience that has prompted
Madden to claim this amount as damages
from the Southern Pacific Company.
Madden was a switchman at the River
station, and in November of last year,
while in the discharge of his duty, was
caught between two cars. He was con-
fined to the hospital for some time, and is
now paralyzed, suffering from locomotor
ataxia. In the complaint he has fled he
alleges that in coupling the cabooses be-
tween which he was jammed it was neces-
sary to raise the coupling pin, and yet so
negligently had the cabooses been con-
structed that they closed together, making
it impossible for man to occupy the posi-
ton ordinarily taken in coupling cars.
