SAN JOSE'S WILL CONTEST
Reading Of Dispositions and
Letters Written by the
TeStator.
The Contestant Denounced as a Sian.
derer aud Woman of Bad
Moral Character.


SAN JOSE, CAL, June 15.-The hearing
of the Parker will contest was resumed in
Judge Reynolds court this morning. The
entire day was occupied in reading deposi-
tions and letters written by George Parker,
the testator, to his sister, Jane Pomeroy.
Throughout all the letters Parker expressed
q dislike for his sons wife, Emma L.
Parker, the contestant of the will. He
mentioned her habit of making lying and
slanderous statements, her extravaganza
and bad moral character.
The deposition of Jane Pomeroy was
read. The deponent said that she always
tried to keep Edward Parker's dissipated
habits from his father, but the latter found
out for himself. At the time of his son s
sickness George Parker sent his son $500,
for him to take trip to the Bermudas, at
her request. During his last visit East in
1898 George Parker seemed to be vigorous
in mind and body.
A letter written by Emma l.. Parker,
the contestant, to George H. Parker, in
which she told of Edwards s serious illness
and asked for financial help, was put in
evidence.
Six letters, written by George H. Parker
to Jane Pomeroy, were read and offered
as evidence. They were written in Decem-
ber, 1892. and March, April and May 1898.
In them Parker speaks in the worst possible
terms of his sons wife, Emma. He COM

ANOTHER FALSE Scent,
Sheriff Plummer of San Jose
Pays an Important Visit
to Stockton.
He Thought Some Letters He Received
We're From Murderer Dun.
hams Brother.

STOCKTON, CAL, June Is. = Special
Deputy Sheriff Plummer has been here for
the past two DAYS looking up a clew that
the officers of the Garden City had as to
the whereabouts of Dunham. The Sheriff
of Santa Clara County recently received
three letters from the vicinity of Wooc-
bridge, in this county, telling him that the
writer was sure that one of the men in the
covered rig that passed through here last
week, and which was thought at the time
by some of the residents of Woodbridge to
contain Dunham, was none other than the
much wanted Santa Clara murderer. 1t
was not thought by the officers that the
man was Dunham, but it was suspected
by them that the letters we're being writ
ten by some friend of the murderer to
throw the officers off the scent.
Plummer came here several days ago,
and has since thoroughly investigated the
matter. The writer of the letters was
found to be a very estimable lady who
lives at Woodbridge and who is highly
connected. She was so certain that the
man in the rig she saw was Durham that
she wrote the three letters that stirred up
the Sheriff's office at San Jose.
What made the officers there more
certain that some job was being put up on
them was the resem blance of the writing
to that of Dunham's brother, who is now
going to school at San Jose. The letters
were shown to a Mr.. Williams, for whom
! Dunhams brother once worked, and he
was very positive in his belief that they
were written by the brother cf the mur-
derer and sent to some friend at Wood
brige for mailing. This theory has been
exploded by the special officers visit to
tuaI place.
In conversation this morning Mr.. Plum
mer said that the day before Dunham
committed the murders on the Mckinney
place that he drew $1,000 from the bank.
1t is thought that he was negotiating to
get more money, as he was endeavoring
to realize on some mortgages that he held,
but could not do so In time for the crime
he committed. Dunham, according to
MIR. Plummer, is one of the best shots with
pistol in the country. Frequently he
would buy So or Sc worth of cartridges with
which to practice with his revolver. When
he left he had at least two pistols that the
officers know of, and the bullets with
which his relatives were slain show that
guns of different caliber were used for the
killing
| Mr.. Plummer's mission has been fruit
| less, except for the fact that he can set the
minds of his fellow-workers in the chase
after Durham at rest about the writer OF
the letters from this county.

What a Hidden Stenographer
Overheard in a Detectives
Office.
A soFT.HEARTED HAwKsHAw.
Testimony That Is Unfit for Publica.
tion Adduced in the Baldwin
Suit.

Most of the testimony in the Ashley
Baldwin betrayal suit yesterday was unit
for publication. Private Secretary Barnes
of Detective j. r. Woods Office was on
the stand nearly all day, and he went over
much the same details as was brought out
when his employer testified.
Mr.. Barnes told of the visit of Miss Ash
ley, her brother and female friend to the
detectives office in April, 1894. She
called to force Woods to retract number
of statements embodied in letter sent to
Miss Ashley while she was stopping at the
Westminster Hotel in Los Angeles in
August, 1898. In that letter Woods
charged the plaintiff in the present suit
with being q blackmailer and thoroughly
disreputable woman. Among other ar
raignments was one as to a physical dis
ability.
Miss Ashley's reception according to the
testimony of Woods and his assistant
was not what she had hoped. Instead of
securing a disavowal or retraction, the
charges were reiterated with such. effect
as to cause the retreat of the brother and
the accompanying female friend. After
their going, meeting was arranged for the
gyzing to the other woman for language
used in her presence.
In anticipation of this visit, Barnes was
stationed in an adjoining room to make a
stenographic report of the conversation.
He told on the stand yesterday what he
remembered of that interview. The in
PRODUCTION of his testimony was accom-
panied with much objection on the part
of the plaintiffs attorney, but it was
finally gotten on record that Miss Ashley
mad told Woods. in the presence of her
female friend, that she had been intimate
with Colonel Pope and that she loved him.
She wanted money to go to California on
and intimated that she could just as well
as not make it appear that Pope was the
father of her child.
Woods on behalf of Colonel Pope, re-
fused to give her any money, but on the
representation that Miss Ashley was des-
titute gave her $50 personally. Woods
told her that she could not fasten the pa
ternity of the child on his client because
of the disparity of dates, but Miss Ashley
replied that she could make the dates
agree if necessary.
Early in the afternoon r. Porter Ashe,
the attorney, was called to testify as to a
letter he received in 1887, signed LILLIAN
A. Ashley" which letter asked him to
adopt the writer as his daughter. AS he
has lost or destroyed the letter his testi-
mony was inadmissi ble, and he was ex-
cused.
The case goes on tomorrow at II o'clock,
when the cross-examination of Private
Secretary Barnes will be resumed.

street Railway Company, this morning

the creditors petition but must proceed
under the petition of the insolvent, the
matter having so been decided by the
Federal courts. Thereupon Gus Lion was
elected assignee. he having received the
votes of creditors with claims aggregating
$1,000. while w. C. Andrews was sup
ported by creditors with $4,000 worth OF
claims. Lions bond was placed at $4,000.

STOCKTON, CAL, June 15.-The Equal
Suffrage Club, presided over by Mrs.
Sarah C. Harry, met at o'clock this
afternoon III regular weekly session.
There was good attendance present and
the usual enthusiasm over the work and
progress which is daily being made was
shown. In addition to the members OF
the club a number of strangers interested
in the work were noticeable in the gath
ering.
An interesting feature of the meeting
was the recital of their experiences by the
ladies who canvassed the city for sigma
lures to a petition framed to ascertain the
public sentiment in reference to the eIev-
enth amendment which it is proposed to
submit to the voters at the next election.
Many interesting and amusing expert
ences were met with. Nearly all the can
vassers told of men who were perfectly
astonished when told of the eleventh
amendment. They had never heard of it..
The manual was then taken up and the
weekly chapter was gone through with.
The prayer at the beginning of each lesson
is omitted, for the reason that the club is
entirely non-religious. The meetings are
public, contrary to what some imagine,
and all, both ladies and gentlemen, are
invited to be present.

Bill of New York to write George Parker
very strong letter calling for tnanciai as

Parker suggested that something be done
to inform the public that he ana Jane

Parker spread to the contrary were lies.
He sent Edward a remittance of $500 In

was awaiting instruction from Chairman

California, and that after to-day he would
probably have nothing more to do with it,.
Everything would depend on Motifs an
