The Roll May Present an In.
crease of Twenty-Five
Million Dollars.
THE VALUATION IS $s52.OO0,OO0.
The Board of Equalization Will Re-
ceive Many Requests for
Reduction.

Next Monday at IL A. NJ. Assessor Siebe
will turn over to the Board of Supervisors
fifty-four real estate and seventeen per-
sonal property volumes, constituting the
assessment-roll of this year.
Last year the valuation of the real estate
and personal property of San Francisco
was 1927 900 600. The Assessor was not
prepared yesterday to say what valuation
would be shown in the roll now COM
pleted, so far as assessments are concerned,
but which are not computed.
There may be an increase tina. Will
cause surprise in the community. For
severol months the Grand Jury has been
urging the Assessor to use all diligence in
assessing personal property, such as fran
chises and ether securities, which have
hitherto escaped taxation.
Assurances received by the jury were
that great effort would be made in this
direction. The Assessors attention was
directed time and again to the discrepancy
which existed in the statements filed by
the banks with the Bank Commissioners
and the returns made to the Assessor. 1t
is known now that very large increase
has been made in the bank assessments.
The Grand Jury at its session last Thurs
day evening was informed that large in
crease would be reported, but the Assessor
could only approximate figures, as the
computation had not been made.
Information secured by THE CALL yes
terday from various sources leads to the
belief that the valuation of the real and
personal property will reach the figure of
$685., 100000.
Complaint of generalization will surely
be made to the Board of Supervisors. 1t
understood that the banks will appeal to
the Supervisors for relief from what they
consider extraordinary assessments. The
Supervisors sitting as a Board of Equali-
zatlon will have plenty of work to per-
form.
Next Monday a resolution will be
adopted authorizing the employment of
six clerks to receive applications for reduc-
ton.
In the Assessors Office clerks will be
busy all day to-day and tomorrow night

of valuation there will be statistics re-
garding the amount of capital and the

to hold the defendant for trial. There was
plenty of evidence of premeditation. Had
her bullet caused death as she intended
she would unquestionably be held for
murder.
General Friedrich for the defense held
that the woman should be released and
held under proceeding in insanity.
There was no premeditation, as the de-
fendant was not a responsible person. No
jury could be found on earth that would
convict her. E. j. Baldwin had himself
declared there could be no motive.
Judge Joachimsen said that he could
not allow sentiment to enter into his
judgment; he must hold the defendant for
trial by jury in the Superior Court and
he must fix bail in such sum as would in
sure protection against repetition of such
dangerous use of firearms by the defend
ant. He named a sum al $1,000 but be-
fore the Judgment was written cut it to
$4,000.
Miss Ashley was taken back to prison,

during the court proceedings. Again his
atte ntion was attracted by her reading the
Bible on the evening before the shooting.
Her actions during the excitement imme-
diately following the shooting led him to
the conclusion that she was mentally un-
balanced.
A police officer dug the ball out of the
plaster in the wall. He testified that it
was lodged but three or four feet from the
floor on a line from where Emma Ashley
was standing and directly over where
Lucky Baldwin had been seated
The ball was offered in evidence and as
1t was held up in the attorneys fingers
Emma Ashley's eyes turned toward it
with the first look of interest they had
Baldwin also looked at the little m1ssive
curiously. This ended the case for the
people.
Mrs. Gilmore, matron at the CITY Prison,
was called for tue defense. Her testimony
was given in such guarded fashion that ii
placed labor upon the attorneys to gain
from her the information they desired or
that she had to give. She told about how
the defendant had walked the floor sing
ing "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and vet
she said her conduct did not denote any
extraordinary nervousness or excitement.
She insistsd that Miss Ashlev's conduct
was in no wise remarkable, taking the cir
cumstances into consideration.
Under direct questioning by the attor-
neys for the defense, however, she ad-
mitted that when The defendant was first
brought to ner she had said that this

HELD FOR TRIAL.
Judge Joachimsen Fixes Ball In
Emma AShiey'S Case at
$4,000


The story of Emma A. Ashley's attempt
upon the life of Lucky" Baldwin was re-
peated over and over by dozen witnesses
before Police Judge Joachimsen yesterday
afternoon.
Emma A. Ashley sat before the court a
speechless and seemingly distraugt lis
tener Lillian Ashley sat with her, an
alert and anxious sister and friend. She
took the stand, also. in her defense. Bald
win also was called to the stand by the de-
tense and testified that he not only had
never given Emma Ashley any provoca-
ton for her attack upon him, but that he
had never spoken to her in his life previous
to the shooting.
Baldwin sat to the left of the Judges
bench in one of the first rows of Jury
chairs. He wore long, gray overcoat and
dandled his shining silk hat upon his
knee, placid, calm and at ease Lillian
Ashley when she took the stand brushed
his clothes with hers.
The impression made upon tie mind
oil every man and woman present in the
courtroom by Emma A. Ashley as she sat
through the long afternoon gazing with
absent eyes upon the ceiling, weeping at
intervals, was that of a woman whose
mind had given way. She was dressed in
black with somewhat worn white straw
hat. Lillian was dressed in her accus-
toned black black hat and black veil.
After hearing all the evidence Judge
Joachimsen fixed the bail at $1,000.

form itself fully. She was a most un-
happy looking young woman, and GER
tainly there were lines in her big round
face that might indicate both sleepless
nights and scanty fare. Her face that had
been white as paper at the beginning of the
hearing was now red with silent weep
ing.

witness. He is recent com er and is fill

day. He asked the right to speak to her
and subsequently became her most i'm
portant witness He said that the Young
woman at the bar had twice spoken in
meeting at the church, and that she gave
him the impression at the time that she
was suffering from religious mania. Her
talk was wild and hysterical. He had
mentioned the circumstance to members
of the church.
Sidney Van Wyck, her counsel, took the
stand and told of how he met the young
woman in the corridor of the City Hall
just after the shooting and when she was
on the way TO the City Prison. She was
very much excited and talking almost in
coherently. He was sure she did not
know what she was doing. He stopped
her, and looking in her eyes asked her if
she did not know him. She replied that
she did. He asked her to tell him his
name. She said she could not recall it.
He went with her to the City Prison
and there himself heard Matron Gilmore
say that she did not belong there; that
she should be taken as an insane patinte
to the Receiving Hospital.
That completed the testimony. 1t was
6 O'clock, and the speech-making was
made short.
