IenniG Estate Settlement

George L. Mesnager, executor of the
Leonis estate, yesterday filed his final ac-
count before Judge Puterbaugh of San
Diego, sitting for Judge Clark in the pro-
bate department of the superior court, and
the final hearing ives set for January oath.
This estate has been dragging along in the
courts for over six years past, during which
time there has been almost continual liti-
cation, and the fact that the final account
has been filed will be joyful news to Judge
Clark, before whom most of the suits have
been tried. On the lth of October, 1889, &,
George L. Mesnager and John Roberts, the
attorney, were appointed executors of the
estate of Miguel Leonis, and then the legal
fights began. The estate was appraised at
100000 and at one time there was suit
pending in the United States courts in
which 81 900 worth of property was in
volved. Besides this there were thiriy-four
suit in the state courts, a number of which
went to the supreme court for settlement.
Then came the death of John Roberts, and
the discovery thai he was $6l69.26 behind
in his accounts. The surviving executor
in his report, says that Notwithstanding
the large amount of litigation and routine
legal work connected with the estate, but
S6771 was paid out for attorneys fees,
aside from $1,000 for the attorney for the
surviving executor, who was paid $1,000,
which includes the final winding up of the
estate. This, it is claimed, is the smallest
amount ever paid i'll California for attor-
neys fees in AN estate appraised at the fig
ure above given, $303,O00. The total
amount of cash received by the executor
up to January /, 1896, was S75 ,002 .05 /;
disbursed. S64,059.2l; balance, $l0,-
942.S4. Deducting from the balance the
Roberts shortage leaves S4773.5s. Against
this there are outstanding claims yet to he
passed upon b. the court $2J0i. 40, which,
II allowed, would leave a cash balance of
$l51S.63 to be turned over to the clerk of
the court. This, however, does not include
the remuneration that is to be allowed the
executor for his arduous duties in manag-
ing the estate, he having had full charge
since the death of Roberts. There are two
suits still outstanding against the estate.

The Boy Burglars Held to Answer

The examination of the four boys
charged with burglarzing the Pco Heights
postoffice was concluded before United
States Commissioner Van Dyke yesterday
and resulted in all the boys being held to
answer before the district court. The
parents and some of the brothers and sis
ters of the Crandall and Hill boys swore
that those TWO were at home in bed when
the robbery took place. A witness. how
ever, swore that she saw the Crandall boy
at about 8 o'clock. which knocked out his
alibi. The commissioner thought that
there was probable cause to hold the quar-
tet, and did SO. All the boys gave bond
except little Joe Czarfluski.

Coroner Campbell Must Stand
Trial for Perjury
THE RULING OF JUDGE SMITH
The Demurrer to the Garrett lndict.
ment Is Also Oyerru!ed
Final Report of the Executor of the Leonis
Estate Filed-Chinese Lottery Dealers
Convicted Court Notes

Coroner George Campbell will have to
stand trial ON the two indictments for per-
jury returned against him by the grand
jury. After many delays, JudE Smith
yesterday gave his decision, sustaining the
validity of the indictments and denying
the motion to dismiss. The point relied
upon by General Campbell, counsel for the
defense, was that the specific assignment
of perjury had not been set forth. At the
hearing Judge Smith appeared to favor the
contention of the defense that the indict-
ments did not set forth the allegation of
the assignment of perjury with sufficient
clearness-that is, each individual case
was not mentioned. Yesterday, however,
his honor said that, after an examination
of the authorities, he was satisfied that
general averment of the falsity of the mat
ters set out was sufficient. Under this
ruling, the Indictment virtually charged
the falsity of the four propositions in the
affidavit that the bill was correct, and the
amount therein was justly due. that no
part had been allowed or paid and that the
services had been actually performed.
IN this connection, it NAV be stated that
the district attorneys office found a de-
cison by Judge Smith on this same point,
in line with that of yesterday, and that
this decision had been affirmed By the SUI
preme court The coroner will enter his
plea this morning, provided there is no
further legal techncality raised or con-
tinuance granted.
Judge Smith also overruled the demurrer
interposed in the case of Sam A. Garrett,
the attorney charged with embezziement.
This, like the Campbell cases, is an indict-
ment by the grand jury. The first indict-
ment was knocked out by Judge Smith,
whereupon it was resubmitted, and a sec
ond Indictment was returned. This has
continued for several months past, on one
technicality and another, until the presen5
time. Garrett will also enter his plea this
morning.
