A Couple Of Insane Patients Sent to High
land-A Case Of Total Deprsvity at
Redondo-New Suits and
Court Notes

"Troubles,' they say, never come
singly,' and in the case of cap" Spill
man the proverb is justified.
A suit was filed yesterday which will
occupy the moments of the Tropico
water king which can be spared from his
other legal difficulties and household
troubles. The suit has been instituted
by W. c. B. Richardson against w. T.
Spilman. the Spilman Water company,
the City of Los Angeles, and twenty
four other defendants. and its purport
Is forever to deprive the principal de-
PENDANT of all right and title to the water
bearing lands, upon the option of which
he organized the water company.
1t appears from the complaint that on
December eth, 1892. the plaintiff en-
tered into an agreement with Spilman
by the terms of which he conveyed all
the water, developed and undeveloped,
on that portion of the Rancho Santa
Eulalia, being part of the Rancho San
Rafael, west and north of Tropico ave-
nue. in the town Of Tropico. Spilman,
on his part, agreed to pay $4,000: S15,-
900 on or before June l, 1898. $4,000 before
June /, 1894, $4,000 before June 1885, and
$4,000 before June 1. 1896. all these sums
to bear interest a t the rate of per cent
and secured by lien and mortgage in
favor of the plaintiff. 1t was also stip-
ulated that all the fumes, tunnels and
pipes be mortgaged to secure payment
The difficulties cropped up at even
that early stage of the game, and sup
Elemental agreement was entered into
on Decembr q, 1894, by which it was
agreed that the payments should be made
as follows: $4,000 on February IS, 1895;
$4,000 on June 1, 1895, and $40 600 on June
l, 1896. None of these amounts have
been paid and Richardson finds himself
without the promised money and with
the land saddled with encumbrances in
one shape and another.
The city of Los Angeles claimed in
terest in the wafer of the Los Angeles
river, which flows through the lands in
question. and Spilman, on August 10,
1894 brought suit to quiet title. In No
vember of the same year a stipulation
was made betw cen Spilman and the city
which Richardson refuses to be bound
by. as he was no party to it.
The Spilman Water company claims
interest by virtue of the deeds of convey
ance from Spilmar, made in January.
1895, he giving quitclaim deed to all
his interests in the water bearing lands
referred to.
The plaintiff prays judgment for $780,
900 and interest upon that amount and
also for attorneys fee for foreclosure of
lien and mortgage, the sum to be fixed
by the court; that the premises be sold
and that no equity of redemption be
allowed from the sale: and that all the
defendants claiming. subsequent to ex-
ecution of vendors lean, be barred and
foreclosed of all rights

DROPPED on THE STREET



H. 3. Bartholomew, q gentleman who
came to Los Angeles last February
from Philadelphia for his health, died
suddenly yesterday morning from hem
orrhage of the lungs. He was stopping
at the Clarendon lodging house at the
corner of Fourth and Hill streets, and

o'clock when he was suddenly stricken

THE CORONEL DUCATS
The Plaintiff and Ills Guard an on the Witness
Stand Yesterday

The search for the Coronel ducats con-
tinued yesterday, and for the most part
the testimony taken was of the dry-as-
dust order.
During the morning, however, tempo
rary interest was given to the proceed
ings by Stephen C.Foster being put upon
the witness stand. The name conveyed
little or nothing to the listeners in court,
but it speedily developed that the old,
white haired man, bent almost double
in the chair with the weight of his years,
had played an important part in the his
tory of Southern California During the
eighty-six years of his life he has wit
messed strange things. He was alcalde
of the old pueblo of Los Angeles; was
the first mayor under the new regime
was a senator. and sat in the constitu-
tional convention.
His evidence yesterday. without doing
much else, did at least show that many
of the old Spanish documents have dis
appeared from the city archives. The
plaintiff desired to introduce the copy
OF an old conveyance to portion of the
Coronel vineyard, and the defense OBJ
jected. Mr. Foster was put forward to
prove that such a document had really
existed. but that it had disappeared
from the office where it was deposited
Witness testified that he knew the Cor
onel tract in lS47, and the only vineyard
then included in it was on the northwest
ern part of the tract, lying north of what
is now Seventh street.
During the afternoon Francisco Yn-
dart, the plaintiff in the case, was on
the witness stand for short time and
was examined as to certain of the deeds.
Following him John r. Ramirez. guar
dian of the plaintiff, gave his testimO-
ny, and for time it seemed as if certain
sensational developments might result
from the cross c%amina ton by Henry T.
Gage, Esq
The document which the defense
claims is forgery has an antique an
peafance and is written in the Spanish
language. IN the top righthand corner
of this agreement Of must there is a
small piece torn out. Rather oddly. it
is the water mark that mas been torn
out thus preventing the time when the
paper was manufactured being actually
1dentllied. This, too, is the document
which Mrs Garfiae swore in her denosf-
ton had been in her possession for
twentythree years
n answer to the query of Mr. Gage. the
witness stated that he was present when
Mrs. Gariias made her deposition, and
then Mr.. Gage put a lengthy question
which in reality was an assertion Of
1act TO which, in part, at least, the Wit
ness aSSented ~
do you not remember Mrs Garfas
stating that the piece was torn from the
document While II was living in her
trunk; that it had been laid away in a
folded state but that, at your sugges
ton, she amended that statement bv
saying that she laid it away opened out
and that his statement was made in the
presence Of etc. etc.
Witness said that with regard to Mrs
Garfias changing her testimony, the
Interpreter that was present didn't nut
he question right.

THE MIN0S TRIAL
Johnny Deitzei Tells How Bill Bryant Coached
Him as a Witness

Him ns witness
There was a crowded courtroom yes
terdaX when the Mings trial opened in
department one. The curiosity of the
sensation seekers went not altogether
unsatisfied, for when the prosecution
put Johnnie Deitzsl on the witness
stand his testimony was so at variance
with that of old Bill Bryant, in certain
essential particulars, as to make it in
teresting.
The story as told by the youthful
Johnnie, who is Is years of age and is the
son of the saloon keeper at Puente, was
largely a recapitula ton of evidence ne
gave previously at the preliminary ex-
animation Under cross-examination,
however, discrepancies were made to
appear. The witness stated that the
buster worn by the shorter of the two
robbers was yellow one and when Ben
Mings was made to stand forward and
put on the coat in evidence by the pros
ecution. the witness stated that the coat
was not the one worn by the robber at
the killing of Hayes. Ben Mings then
put on the gunny sack mask and the hat
and appeared QUILTED with the para
phernalia of the robber. Johnny said
the general outline of figure was not the
same as the shorter robber he had seen,
and otherwise he was uncertain as TO
his identity. The white hat and the
mask he thought were similar to those
worn by the taller of the two robbers.
Attorney Rush then insinuatingly
drew from the witness the fact that he
and Bryant had talked over the exciting
affair in which they had both partici-
pated, and for fear that memory might
be treacherous Bryant put down on pa
per his version of the shooting and read
it over to witness. Bryant also told
him that it was essential that they both
go into court telling a straight story.
once he got mad because Johnny wuld
not answer his coaching and threatened
to whip him.
Taking all things into consideration,
Johnny Deitzel did more harm to the
prosecution than he did to the defense.
A number of other witnesses were ex-
amined later in the day without any
thing of exceptional Importance being
divulged.
The further hearing of the case Will
be continued this morning at 10 o'clock.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Jan. 5.-Financial
interest continues to be centered in the
prospects of the issuance of an American
loan. The bourses here and in Frankfort
absorb the best of the American stocks
which are still being off red for sale in
London, but the leading operators show
greater disposition TO await the definite
announcement of a bond issue. The latest
communications from New York leave the
situation so uncertain that neither the
financial houses nor the operators on the
bourse can advise inquirers.
The correspondent of the United Press
In Frankfort states that American fnan-
clers have sounded the bankers there as to
whether a 3-per-cent loan could be placed
at about par. To these inquiries the bank
ers replied that pure coin bonds could not
be placed in Germany even at per cent,
but that 3 per cent gold bonds might be
placed if they were issued at a price
slightly under par.
Berlin inancier connected with the
Deutsche Bank group says the group
which is making the offer to take share
of the American bond issue has an amount
of gold already in the United States sufi-
cient to prevent large shipments OF gold
from Germany. On every side the feeling
is that things will go slowly until Presi-
dent Cleveland acts in the bond matter.
AdVices received here from st. Peters
| burg say that NJ. Dewitt, the Russian
Minister of Finance, has definitely denied
that Russia has offered to the United
States the cash advances referred to in the
story recently published in st. Peters
| burg dispatch to the Tageblatt, a story
which nobody credited.
| Another story comes from st. Peters
burg, alleging that Prince Lobanoff Ros-
tovsky, the Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, has declared, with all possible
feelings of good will toward the United
States, that the Gar would never recog-
nlze the Monroe doctrine, and, in regard
thereto, had taken a position similar to
that assumed by Germany and England.
This story has not yet been affirmed or de-
MED.
Sir F. c. Lascelles, British Embassador
to Germany, has of late had daily inter
views with the Chancellor, Prince Won
Hohenlohe, and these conferences have
led to much caImer tone in official cir
cles and in the articles published in the
semi-offc1al newspapers. The violent
tone displayed by the English press, es-
pecially in their TRADES against the Kaiser,
does not agree with the character of the
communications received at the Foreign
Office from Lord Salisbury, the British
Foreign Minister, who protests his inno-
cence of all knowledge of the plans of the
chartered South African Company, and de-
clares the determination OF Great Britain
to act strictly in accordance with the
terms of the Transvaal treaties concluded
in 1881 and 1884. If Lord Salisbury intends
to demonstrate against the congratulatory
message sent to President Kruger by the
Kaiser, he is obviously taking his time to
ponder over the manner in which he will
do 1t, as so far nothing has been heard at
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-06

Junta was held yesterday to discuss mat
ters OF extreme Importance. The meet
ing was held in strict secrecy, and no in
formation as to what took place could be
obtained.
1t was, however, gathered at the Cuba n
revolutionary headqU arters that the sub
iect of discussion was the advisability OF
transferring the junta to Cuba, now that
the insurgent army is almost at the gates
OF Havana.
Both President Palma and Secretary
Quesada have expressed their Willingness
to start for Cuba just as soon as General
Gomez signifies his desire to have the gen.
tlemen of the junta at his side.
1t may be stated on the best authority
that Havana will not be attacked until the
chief members OF the junta are in the field
ready to enter Havana and take possession
Of the capital in the name of the Republic
of Cuba.
This part OF the programme has posi-
lively been decided upon, and, pending
the opportunity for carrying it out, Gen
errl Gomez will continue to circle about
Havana, applying the torch and laying
waste the territory.
The latest news from the lnsurgent camp
states that the officers of the Provisional
Government are strongly intrenched in
Puerto Principe, awaiting word from Gen
eral Gomez to advance.
When the time for giving this signal ar
rives, the New York junta, according to
Gomez's plans, will secretly leave for Cuba
and join the provisional government in
the march to Gomez's camp.
A wealthy sympathizer has placed a
swift steel vessel at the disposal of the
iunta to convey them to Cuba This fact
is known to the Spaniards, who have
doubled their force of spies aud detectives
in consequence.
