unfair andan unfit man to be Judge, and
the voters OF the City and County Of San
Francisco were notified by the circular to
that effect. We submit that whatever
was done by Watt in the way of manipu-
lating the affairs of the bank so as to pre-
serve the ascendency of himself and Shee-
han Is admissible in this case, because
that is what Hebbard is charged with.
Twas not, Judge Hebbard responsible
for the scandalous Encouragement OF the
affairs of the bank since its misfortunes?
The efforts of these depositors to secure
satisfactory board of directors in order
that the depositors, the men, women and
children whose money had been put into
this bank. should be in the hands of their
representatives and not in the hands OF
men who had no interest in the bank
whatever, were INSTRUCTED by Judge Heb
bard.
eff this allegation of the notoriety OF
James Alva Watt, if it is libel on Judge
to allege that he has appointed notorious
character, we may bring proof OF that
fact"
The circular states" said Judge Dam
gerheld. that Judge Hebbard's bosom
friend was notorious character"
District Attorney Barnes objected to the
testimony on this point on the ground
that the witness didsnot know the reputa-
ton of James Alva Watt when he was ap-
pointed. The object of it was to allow the
counsel for the defense to present them
selves before the jury with club in their
hands to beat the brains out of persons
not connected with the case. He thought
1t was emineEtly improper.
The court remarked that no attempt
had been made up to the present. time to
show that the prosecuting witness knew
OF the notoriety of the person appointed
by him, but nevertheless, Independently
OF his personal knowledge of the notoriety
OF Mr.. Watt, the statement would be
damaging, and therefore the defense
would have right to prove the truth OF
the language claimed to be defamatory.
Il see no escape from it, because to rule
IL out would be to deprive the defendant
OF the right he has to prove the defam a.
tory language OF the circular" added

edge OF the reputation of James Alva

about udge Hebard's denial OF the same.
Then Mr.. Spelling was asked as to the
reasons why he had drawn >$5OO from the
pank, and Mr.. Spelling, who appeared 70
be very uneasy at the question, rephea
that he had been allowed the money by
the directors for his services as attorney
In case outside of and not connected
at all with this one. He appeared to I'M
pute sinister motive in Mr.. Thornton
asking the question. This caused Mr..
thornton to remark that Mr.. Spelling was
mistaken as TO the outcome OF the case
and that the court records showed that
the case had been dismissed.
T. II. Mccarthy was recalled and was
asked whether the reputation or the ac-
tions OF James Alva Watt had not formed
the subject of a discussion among the
people. Mr.. Mccarthy replied that he
had heard Mr.. Watt discussed in very
mpllmentary way IN the Foresters
and the B'nai Birth halls.
"Did you sign this clrcular?" asked Mr..
Foote on the cross-examination.
Mr.. Mccarthy declined to answer any
questions OF that purport on the statutory
grounds.
General John f. Sheehan was the next
witness. In response to questions by Mr..
Henley he said that he acquired his title
OF general because he had been adjutant-
general on the staff of Governor Perkins.
He also held the position of Register of
the United States Land Office in this City,
and was holding that position on the day
he was appointed receiver of the Peoples
Home Savings Bank. He was also eecre-
tary OF the Yosemite Commission at
salary of SIS per month. He was APP
pointed by Judge Hebbard as one of the
commissioners in the case of Emerlc VS..
Alvarado, three years job. He was al
lowed Sill, 900 for his services in that case.
He was also receiver in three cases in
which the Peoples Home Savings Bank
was concerned.
He drew nothing from the bank during
the first month of his employment as re-
ceiver, and after that be drew $3.50 per
month to live on. Then the directors
made him an allowance of $500 per month
for the whole time, which amount he
drew. He was not positive whether as re-
ceiver he had made an accounting to the
court or not. He had signed statement
to the court OF receipts and expenditures.
Mr.. Watt was his attorney in the prep
aration of his account, and Mr.. Watt was
also attorney for the bank.
sit was the duty of Mr.. Watt as attorney
for the bank to contest any improper &C.
count presented by the receiver, was 1t
not?'
Mr.. Foote objected again, and the court
adjourned until 10 O'Clock this morning.

."Do you know anything about an &C
counting or pretended accounting by Gen
eral John F. Sheehan of the affairs of the
bank?"
Mr.. Foote'S prompt objection to this
question was sustained. The Witness went
ON to say that id j anuary, 1895, the matter
of the accounting came up before Judge
Hebbard. James. Ava Watt was present,
representing, General Sheehan, and T..
Carl Spelling was present also. Mr.. Watt
asked that General Sheefan be discharged
as receiver of the bank. Mr.. Spelling OPP
posed the discharge on the. ground that
there had been no proper accounting filed
in the court and that there. had been no
statement Of the receipts and disburse-
merits OF the bank; that the compensation
Of the receiver had not been fixed. Judge
Hebbard stated that he understood that
he had nothing to do with. fixing the COM

She Will Have to Ransack
Them All for Her Old
Love Letters.
Says They Are in a Cold Cellar
and, Besides, Have Been
Badly Rif1ed.
Now Declares the Cartload of "My
Dear Wife Epist.es Were Car
ried Away Long Ago.

Marie Viola Keller, who claims to be
the widow of the late Juage Hastings
spent an interesting hour before Notary
Levy yesterday afternoon IN the Office Of
Samuel NJ. Shortridge.
The lady's deposition was being taken
in the matter of her contest of Judge
Hastings will.
Mr.. Shortridge had called upon Mrs.
Keller to prod a number of letters
which she claimed the Judge had written
to her and wherein she said she was ad-
dressed by him as my Dear Wife," my
Darling Wife," my Pet" and other such
terms of endearment. Mrs. Keller had
said such letters were or had been in her
possession, but fatty refused to produce
them unless compelled by the court to do
so. Mr.. Shortridge few days ago Sc
cured from Judge Coffey an order COM
manding the lady to produce the letters,
and it was to receive them at her hands
and to hear her statements concerning
them that she was cited to appear before
the notary in the attorneys Office yester-
day afternoon.
But she did not bring the letters. More
than that, she declared it to be more than
likely that in all the vast recesses OF her
ten tIuuhS anu Two DOAeS WO6re she Qdu
formerly stored the endearing epistles,
not one of them could now be found.
Neither could she name place that they
might be found, except it be among Rob-
ert Hastings papers. Robert, she said,
had rided her trunks time and time again
and she was certain had carried away
everything in the form of writing which
could be of value to her in this proceed
ing.
"They would not have dared to bring
suit against me and to defy me unless
they thought they had all my letters and
papers that might go to prove my rights
as wife, she said.
"My trunks were rifed"-Mrs. Keller
used this word frequently. but insisted
upon pronouncing 1t "raff1ed"-"at San
Rafael and at every boarding house that I
have been in for several years. Robert
did it; he was responsible for it; he did it
all"
Mr.. Shortridge went over the testimony
of the lady as given previously, reading
her answers to questions concerning these
letters, in which she distinctly stated that
she had great number of these letters
addressed to her in the terms peculiar
from husband to wife. In every instance
Mrs. Keller declared that she had been
unsupported and wanted the record modi-
fed. Where, for instance, she was re-
ported as having said that she mad the
letters" she insisted that the record be
made to read that she chad had the let
ters."
Introductory to the taking of the de-

position, Mr.. Shortridge recited the pro
ceedings leading up to it, the refusal o
the witness to produce the letters except
upon an order of the court and this by adj
vice of her counsel. He read Judge COT.
fey's order, and then made formal de-
mand for the production of the letters
under its authority. =
Mrs. Keller said she had. not had time
to make an examination of her trunks and
boxes, of which she has twelve, and
wherein the letters were formerly kept.
She said that many of the trunks were
locked and the keys lost.
at would be easy to find a locksmith
who could furnish key, would it not2,''
asked Mr.. Shortridge.
The lady admitted that it would be
easy. The attorney wanted to know what
the witness kept in such a number OF
trunks and boxes.
I. "Such things as lady may be expected
to have was the answer. "They are
chiefly filled with wearing apparel and
manuscript"
What, for instance, is the manu-
script2'

ness. ~ have sent a number of them to
the Examiner"
She was asked how long it would take
her to go through the trunks and ind the
letters IL any were there 10 De lOuuu.
She thought she could do this in about
two months. She said the trunks were In
a cold cellar, that she was sick and that
she could not think of going into them at
present. She had been throu but two
of the trunks within the last six or eight
months. and those only to see whether or
not they had been robbed. She declare
that she had never given to her attorney,
Mr.. Sullivan, any letters addressed to her
in the endearing terms referred to, nor
had she in her immediate possession sny
such letters.
Mr.. Sullivan stated.slso that he had no
such letter, nor had he ever received
any.
Mr.. Shortridge then asked the notary to
request of the witness that she produce
the letters to- morrow if she had any, say
ing that the time she required was ridicu-
lous, and that he was sure the court
would think so too.
Mrs. Keller said she was i'll and could
not possibly go through her trunks before
tomorrow.
Mr.. Shortridge said he did not wish to
ask anything that would tax the lady's
health or strength. He extended the time
to Saturday.
MIR. Sullivan said he would advise his
client to produce the letters if she could.
The hearing then went over until Sat-
urday.

CARRIED HIS LAST PAPER.
Clever Dog Who Assisted His Mas
ter in Delivering Evening Papers
in This City.

Edward Gleizee, carrier of the Evening
Post, mourns the loss of a largo black dog
that for many years had been his constant
companion and assistant in his tour of
delivery. The animal sickened few days
since and yesterday passed to that un-
known where all good dogs go.
The faithful canine served his master
well and saved him many steps in going
over his route. The dog had learned how
his master would leave papers at certain
places, and while the man was delivering
on one side of the street his four-footed
companion would receive rolled paper
and deliver it on the other side, where it
belonged. One of the customers the ami
NAL served was bakery on Kearny street.
and when he first came there with paper
he was given a cake. He never forgot
that, for every evening after leaving the
paper he would remain on the premises
until given cake. after which he would
hasten to rejoin his master and receive an
other paper TO deliver.

Republican victory.
Berlin, Nov. 4.-The leading bankers and
bourse operators here declared to-day
that they were very well satisfied with
the result OF yesterdays election for Pres
ldent in the United States. Exporters say
that they will now execute large orders,
which were placed upon the condition OF
McKinley's election. The official world OF
Germany fear that high protective tariff
in the United States is impending. Am
bassador Uhl says that trade with the
United States will now be revived.
The North German Gazette devotes a
leading article to comments upon the pres
idential election in the United states, i'll
which the paper discusses the contest
from a German point of view that the
success of Mckinley means a high .,ro-
tective tariff in America and, therefore.
did not possess the sympathy Of Ger
many. But" the Gazette says, IF Bryan
had been successful Germany would not
have been any better off. The vic
tory of Mckinley, however, need not
arouse too great fears. There VIII, OF
course, be a very strong desire for higher
tariffs, yet it is impossible that they can
go much higher, considering the needs of
the population Of the United States. More
over, there are other political factors
which will sensibly limit the powers, OF
the people.
The Neuste Nachrichten says it is like
ly that the democrats will be satisfied
with a mitigation Of the harshness of the
Mckinley tariffs and for this reason the
republicans will probably not be willing
to yield Immediately to the demands of
the extreme protectionlsts.
Inc Vosslcne Heitung says: "Mchlnley's
victory is complete, and Bryan and FREQ
silver have been annihilated. The work
ingmen deserted Bryan because they
would have felt the i'll effects of his pol
icy upon their own bodies. The Bryan
nightmare has been removed from the
whole civilized world by McKinley's trI-
umph. The democratic party deserted its
principles, and is visited with condign
punishment"
