Injunction Served Saturday Az
ternoon.
A. 5. HUMPHREYS AS WELL.
Rumor That He Had Tried to Leave
Town-Denies That He Intended Of
Tending Anyone - Hearing Today.

Just before the departure of the Aus
tralia on Saturday, and as Julien D.
Hayne was leaving the steamer, Law
yer W. A Kinney and policeman step
ped up to him and the officer handed
him a legal document which Hayne
read and then got into a carriage and
rode off
AS Hayne had asked a postponement
of the case brought against him by the
Government, the people along the dock
at once jumped to the conclusion that
he had attempted TO get away and was
stopped by the authorities. This was
the rumor current yesterday.
Mr.. Hayne was seen during the even
ing and questioned about it. He had
this to say:
You understand that the Govern
ment has case against me for being
common nuisance. 1t was postponed at
my request, however, as my attorney
Mr. Neumann, was i'll. Fearing he would
not be able to take it up, l asked an
acquaintance who would be good per-
son to represent me, and was told to
see A. S. HUMPHREYS. In fact he took me
to his Office and introduced me to him.
| stated my case to Mr.. HUMPHREYS,
but he declined TO take it, saying that
he had a case to come before the court,
and if he took my case it would preju-
dice the very people whom | had an
tagonized, against him.
He said he supposed 1 had heard of
his case. l told him l had not, but
would like copy of the summons and
complaint He declined to furnish
them, saying they were matters of rec
ord, but he must decline to supply me
with copies. In discussing the situation
he told me he was afraid my visit to
his office would be prejudicial to him,
and asked me to communicate anything
| might have to say in writing
Il then turned TO w. L. Peterson, the
young man who has a desk room in
HUMPHREYS office, and told him to go
to the court and secure me a copy OF
the complaint alluded to, not with a
view to publishing it, because l have
never gone into the details of private
family affairs, but because l Thought
the third paragraph in the complaint
would do to point a moral or adorn a
story There the matter ended so far
as / knew; but some one had evidently
hear of my request, and ii was garbled
in a way that certain interested people
thought l intended ventilating Mr..
HUMPHREYS case, either in my maya
zine or in a newspaper, and was serv-
ed Jointly with A S. HUMPHREYS, with
an injunction forbidding me using this
matter in public print.
Il had mailed a communication to the
San Francisco Call regarding the com
mon nuisance affair, and after / had
been served with the injunction and
gone up town it occurred to me that
might as well send this injunction with
my letter, and let them see how things
are done here.
When reached the deck of the Aus
tralia the second time l met Shahan of
the Gazette Company, Gallagher oFthe
Commercial Journal, and George Ian
son, correspondent of the San Francisco
Call, and showed them the injunction,
and enjoyed laugh with them over the
affair, and remarked that l would write
something on the back of it and send
il to the Call. Manson remarked that
he had already sent a copy of the sum-
mons and complaint in the case to the
Call, and asked me TO let him have it.
l declined, with the remark that as
had written about my own case would
send this as a sequel.
That, Mr.. Advertiser, is what
know of the case, and from my point of
view it is a correct statement. The in
junction will be heard this morning;
but that's another story.
If this thing keeps up l will be con-
sidered pretty good meat by the attor-
neys."
