covery would revolutionize the metallurgi-
cal world, and promised big returns to all
who would buy the stock of the proposed
company.
The poor people about Martinez were
fascinated with the prospects held out and
mortgaged their property and borrowed
money to buy stock.
Mrs. Kelly transferred her property out
right to Owens on basis of valuation of
$1,000 receiving in return IS, 240 shares of
stock, worth just the value of the paper it
was written on.
Ten days afterward Owens transferred
the property to his wife. An exposure
soon followed and Mrs. Kelly sued to re-
cover the property. She employed at first
udge Catlin of Sacramento.
She won verdict in the Superior Court,
but the Supreme Court reversed the judg-
ment and ordered new trial. Again the
lower court gave her judgment, and again
1t was appealed. 1t was on this second
appeal that the case came before the Su-
preme Court, Mr.. Delmas presenting it
this time Mrs. Kelly confidently expects

lower court this time, and that after
twelve years of failure and struggle her

will be standing before the altar at st.
Mary to be pronounced man and wife.
Archbishop Riordan will officiate at the
ceremony that is to unite 'for better or
for worse the distinguished couple.
The wedding of to-day will be the happy
elimination of romance begun in child
hoods days. 1t is an old story of childish
friendship ripening into the mature love
of man and woman.
Mr.. McEnerney is too well known in this
community to need any comment as to
his abilities as an. attorney, the brilliant
qualities of his mind and the many ster-
ling traits that make him worthy citizen
and valued friend.
Miss Hogan is an accomplished young
lady who has been wont to hide her many
attainments. She is an admirable musi-
clan, and has from time to time con-
tributed charming little sketches to the
newspapers and magazines. She is well
read, and in every way worthy to be the
partner of the distinguished lawyer.
Miss Hogan is the daughter of the late
j. 3. Hogan, one of the pioneer settlers OF
Napa. She is the sister of Mrs. ]. B. Hop
kins and Mrs. Hilaire Belloc, wife of the

After twelve years struggle in the
courts Mrs. 81. s. Kelly OF Martinez will,
in few days, no doubt regain possession
OF valuable tract of land which she was
prevailed upon to deed away for no vaiu-
able consideration.
d. M. Delmas, in telling argument, has
presented the facts before the Supreme
Court for the second time that the case has
been there.
e. M. Gibson, for the appellant, William
Owens. executor of the estate of Fl. K.
owens, proposed to submit the matter on
briefs, but Mr.. Delmas opposed it. He
wanted 30 tell the facts he said.
About the beginning of the year 1884, he
said, Mrs. II. s. Kelly, widow, employed
at teaching school, was the owner of three
quarters of a section of land in Contra
Costa County. There lived in the neigh
borhood at the time two individuals, DR..
K. ID. Lee and one H. K. Owens. They
represented that DR.. Lee was the discov-
erer and inventor of a new method of
making superior quality of fine steel

He Declares That in No Way

He Says He Did Not Meet ]. l.
Solomon Downtown After the
Verdict Was Rendered.

Judge Daingerfeld occupied himself
mainly yesterday in sitting out the truth
in the story of jury bribing in the case of
the Lombard Loan Company against r. l..
Whelan and others. judah Boas being the
"and others" or the side of the defense.
The affidavits filed by Boas bolstering
up his plea for new trial were fully
quoted in yesterdays issue of THE CALL.
Foreman ]. f. Sweeney of the jury
called on Judge Daingerfeld yesterday to
make voluntary statement which he sub
sequently made to CALL reporter, relat-
ing incidents that occurred in and out of
the jury-room during the trialwhich go to
disprove the story of brides being offered

cause | regarded the incorporation papers
of the Lombard Loan Company as being
legal, and that the defendants had no right
to attach the property on the supposition
that it belonged to another institution
owing them certain amounts.
EAT the dinner table, prior to rendering
a verdict, Mr.. Toboas and I sat apart from
the others. and he certainly never limited
in any way that there was money in it for
my vote, either on one side or another, as
Mr.. Dolan claims he spoke to him in the
affidavit just filed.
''Wnen it came to vote Toboas was
against verdict, first and last. This is a
fact, even if Dolan does say in his affidavit
that he switched three or four times.
Juror Baum and another both voted the
same as Toboas, and Dolan voted as l and
seven others did, in favor OF the plaintiff.
/ do not see, therefore, where any bribery
could have taken place.
NOW, as to this man Crawford, he of
the black mustache, who is said to have
been hanging about the courtroom and
the corridors during the trial, do not
know, nor do | remember seeing any such
person. There was photographer named
E. Isaacs, friend of mine, with whom I
do politics, who used to call out and see
me frequently. He has dark mustache,
and / really believe he is the man they
call Crawford. His calls upon me were
purely out of friendship and for socia-
bility's sake; nothing more"
Mr.. Sweeney's attention was called to
the affidavit made on the strength of a
private detectives report to the effect that
after the $1,000 verdict was rendered he
met ]. l.. Solomon, one of the parties
benefited, in a cigar-store at Ellis and
Market streets. This affidavit relates also
that Crawford and one of the attorneys for
the plaintiff were present.
This is absolutely false" Mr.. Sweeney
stated. 81 never met Mr. Solomon before
or after the verdict at this or ally other
cigar store or saloon. In leaving the
Hall, Mr.. Solomon thanked me for the
verdict, and told him there was no need
of his thanks-I had done my duty, and
that was all. No other words were passed
between US, and l never have spoken to
him or seen him SINCE"

for the usurer will tell them that he has no

it comes, will be in silver!
If you trace this business out to ultimate re-
suits you will see that it leads directly to dis
tress and calamity to California deeper and
worse than all the losses the State has sus-
tanned from all the destructive fires and floods
