ARE PROVING THEIR CASE
AGAINST JUDGE HEBBARD
Evidence introduced to Show That He Broke His Word
to the Depositors' Committee of the
Peoples Bank.

Foote suggested, was to try to prove the
truth of the charges contained in the cir
cular, MOTTO prove that the defendants IN
this case and their associates had met and
adj pied certain defamatory resolutions.
Mr. Henley-We wish, to prove that
what is alleged in the circular did actually
take place.
The Court-You must prove those m at
tiers, but you must not under the guise oi
introducing what was done then Introduce
testimony on other important issues that
is hearsay in its nature.
E Mr.. Henley-I don't know how your
Honor got any such idea in your head.
Mr.. Foote-The court has the same
opinion about it as / have.
: The Court-When used the word guise
| did not intend it in its bad sense at ALL
Mr.. Foote-That is the only sense it can
have here think.
The Court-Perhaps it was an unforsu-
nate word for me to use, but | could not
think of any other to take its place.
Mr.. Foote-It fits the case entirely, your
Honor. 1t is not an unfortunate word at
all. / have my opinion about this.
Mr. Henley-If your opinion comforts
you any you are entitled to it.
Mr.. Mccarthy was. finally allowed to
proceed and testified that the committee
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-12-01

Mr.. Mccarthy gave a history OF the
court proceedings in the defunct Peoples
Home Savings Bank litigation, which led
him to believe that Judge Hebbard was
an Unfair and improper person to occupy
a seat on the bench Of the Superior Court.
He signed the circular which cast re-
fections on Judge Hebbard, and alleged
that in managing the affairs of the Peo-
pies Home Savings Bank Judge Heb
bard had been influenced by Attorney
James Alva Watt and John F. Sheehan.
In explanation of his course in signing
the circular Mr.. Mccarthy, whose wife
was one of the depositors in the defunct
bank, said that he had called on Judge
Hebbard for the purpose of having good
board of directors appointed, but was not
successful.
Attorney Henley attem pied TO ascertain
from Mr.. Mccarthy the proceedings of
the meeting at which a committee was
appointed to look after the interests of
the depositors in the bank. 1t was under
stood that certain resolutions were
adopted at that meeting denounclng
Judge Hebbard for his &C is in the manage
ment of the banks affairs.
Attorney Foote objected to questions of
this character. He said that such testi-
mony would be in the nature of hearsay.
1t was not permissible or lawful to allow
lot of hostile persons to meet and adopt
resolutions condemning public officer,
and then, when they are sued criminally
or for damages, 10 plead in justification
that such resolutions were passed.

evidence The affidavits just mentioned.

Receiver John F. Sheehan had no right to

Samuel NJ. Shortrid ge testified that the
firm of Delmas 81 Shortridge had been re-
tanned an d employed by the bank corpo-
ration to serve as its attorneys and coun-
sci. The witness told of meeting in
Judge Hebbard's chambers in which At
torney Hutton, Mr.. Delmas, Mr.. Nc
earthly, Judge Hebbard and the witness
were present. That was before the m otion
to modify the injunction was made in
open court.
What was said," asked Mr.. Henley,
'In respect to the proposed modification
of the Injunction in order to permit GER
tain directors to resign and reorganize the
board?'
There had been an injunction granted
by Judge Hebbard," replied Mr.. Short
ridge, "a sweeping injunction restraining
and enjoining this board of directors from
taking. any steps or doing any act as the
board of directors of that corporation. As
result of that this interview or meeting
took place to which your question is adj
dressed. The question there was as to
modifying this general Injunction so as to
permit the old board of directors to meet
and resign one, by one-to rotate q new
board of directors into office The parties

tee of depositors and Mr.. Hutton, the at-
torney. On the other side, there were Mr.
Delmas and myself. technically represent.
ing the old board OF directors. The ques-
ton came up as TO the power of the court
to make such sweeping injunction, and
believe | stated that the court had nc
such power, and that these men might
safely meet FOR that purpose and resign,
but they didn't desire to do so. They had
good reasons for not desiring to do so.n
MI. Foote moved to strike out the last
sentence.
"Were the reasons stated there at that
timer" asked Mr.. Henley.
81 know that they were stated by Mr..
Delmas," replied the witness. "He ex-
planned that the committee of depositors
had been demanding that this board of
directors resign and had threatened them
with all sorts of misfortunes if they did
not meet and resign, but that on the other
hand this injunction stood in the way of
their meeting, and they were probably in
curing the danger of contempt proceed
ings if they did meet and resign, and Mr..
Delmas pointed out the dilemma in which
they were. The upshot of the matter was
that Judge Hebbard said he would not
permit them to meet and select whomso-
ever they saw fit.
''rhe subject of the conversation then
turned on how they could agree on new
board, and the talk ran along until it was
understood and so stated that if the de-
positors' committee could agree that the
old board of directors should appoint a
new board, in that event the court would
modify the injunction to the extent that
the board might meet and one by one re-
sign and induct new me N bers into office"
Mr.. Henley asked whether the names of
any OF the proposed new directors were
suggested and Mr.. Shortridge replied:
Whether at that conversation they
were named l am not positive. 1t is
probable that the names of some Were
suggested by the depositors' committee,
but am not clear on that point. think
b. P. Flint's of the olympic Club was men,
toned later on, and it might have been
mentioned there at that time"
DO you remem Der the name of DIR.
Logan having been mentioned?" asked
Mr.. Henley.
1.-The name / know was discussed as a
proposed director" said Mr.. Shoriridge.
81 think it was suggested by the deposit
ors' committee. | don't recall whether it
was mentioned at that interview. think
something was said there as to the men,
bers of the old board having been inter-
viewed and having consented to resign"
The witness then proceeded 10 relate
how he met Judge Hebbard in the
Union League Club on that evening or a
little later. The subject of modifying the
in Jun ction came up. While they were
talking James Alva Watt approached and
took part IN the conversation. The wit
ness showed Judge Hebbard the list of
names of proposed directors as agreed
upon between the depositors' committee
and the old board. Among the names
were those of Mr.. Mcdonnell, druggist on
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-12-01

secured the consent of four of the McDon-
aid board of directors to resign and that
he, the witness, and II. w. Hutton called
upon Judge Hebbard and told him of the
willingness of four directors to resign if he
would modify his injunction for the pur-
pose of allowing them to meet for the pur-
pose of resignlng. They named four good
men TO take the place of the four objec-
tionable men on the Mcdonald board.
He said that Judge Hebbard agreed to let
the old board meet in his chambers for the
purpose of making the change, but that he
cid not fulfill his promise
Mr.. Mccarthy said that before he and
Mr.. Hutton left Judge Hebbard's cham
bers d. M. Delmas and Samuel M. Short
r dee, at that time attorneys for the Peo-
pies Home Savings Bank, entered the
chamber and Judge Hebbard repeated to
them that he had consented to allow the
old board to meet for the purpose of re-
signing.
One or two days later Mr.. Mccarthy
said that he saw James Alva Watt, at
that time attorney for ]. F. Sheehan, the
receiver for the bank, at the office of Mr..
Hutton.
When Mr.. Henley attempted to bring
out the conversation with Mr.. Watt, an
objection was interposed by Mr.. Foote.
Judge DainGerfeld said that he would
exclude this class OF testimony fer the
present., Dub WOuIu dQlulJ III SuOseQut
IT prima facie proof is offered that Judge
Hebbard had any knowledge of Mr..
Watts wishes, if he had any,
An exception to this ruling was noted
by the defense.
Witness Mccarthy continued by stating
that he called on Judge Hebbard, and
asked him to set a time when the two
boards could meet to carry out the pro-
posed change, and that Judge Hebbard
said he had changed his mind and had
decided not to allow the meeting, but
made no explanation OF his position in
that matter. He said that subsequently
Attorney d. NJ. Delmas, in open court,
had taxed Mr.. Hebbard with breaking his
promise; that Judge Hebbari denied it,
and that when Mr.. Delmas challenged
him to the proof that Judge Hebbard
pounded with his fist on his desk and de-
clared that he would not allow the meet
ing as requested.
Mr.. Foote closely questioned the wit
ness touching the occurrences in Judge
Hebbard's court and the other matters
pertaining to the voluminous legislation
i'll which the bank became involved. 1t
appeared TO be Mr.. Foote's idea to prove
that the alleged ibelous circular was I'M
true III stating that the Supreme Court
overruled Judge Hebbard's action i'll APP
pointing John +. Sheehan as receiver.
In repiy 10 a QUE stion on this point Mr..
Mccarthy said: II understood that the
order of the Supreme Court was reversal
of Judge Hebbard' s order appointing John
f. Sheehan receiver for the bank"
Judge J. C. B. Hebbard was at this point
called as witness for the defense He
testified that he was the prosecuting wit
ness in the case now pending, and that in

When the most benefit is to be derived
from good medicine, is early in the year
This is Tire season when the tired body,
weakened organs and nervous system yearn
for building-up medicine like Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Many wait for the open
spring weather and, in fact, delay giving
attention to their physical condition so long
that long siege of sickness is inevitable.
To rid the system of the impurities accu-
mulated during the winter season, TO puri-
fy the blood and to invigorate the whole
system, there is nothing equal to Hood
