Injunction Served Saturday At

A. S. HUMPHREYS AS WE'LL
Must Not Write on Private Matters.
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 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 a case against me for being a
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, / asked an
acquaintance who would be a good per-
son to represent me, and was told to
see A. S. Humphries. In fact he took me
to his office and introduced me to him
L stated my case to Mr. Humphries,
but he declined to take it, saying that
he had case to come before the court,
and if he took my case it would preju-
dice the very people. whom 1 had an
tagonized, against him.
He said he supposed l had heard of
his case. 1 told him 1 had not, but
would like copy of the summons and
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
Office, and told him to go
to the court and secure me a copy of
he complaint alluded to, not with a !
view to publishing it, because l have |
never gone into the details of private |
amily affairs, but because [ thought |
he third paragraph in the complaint |
would do to point a moral or adorn a
story. There the matter ended so far |
IS [ knew; but some one had evidently
lear of my request, and it was garbled
n way that certain interested people
hought l intended ventilating Mr..
Iumphries's case, either in my maga-
inc or in a newspaper, and was serv-
d, Jointly with A. S. Humphries, with
n injunction forbidding me using this
natter in public print
Il had mailed a communication to the
an Francisco Call regarding the com
non nuisance affair, and after l had
cen served with the injunction and
one up town it occurred to me that /
hight as well send this injunction with
~ letter, and let them see how things
re done here
when 1 reached the deck of the Aus
ralia the second time 1 met Shahan of
ne Gazette Company, Gallagher of the
ommercial Journal, and George Ian
IN, correspondent of the San Francisco
all, and showed them the injunction,
I'D enjoyed a laugh with them over the
fair, and remarked that 1 would write
on the back of it and send
to the Call. Manson remarked that
e had already sent a copy of the sum-
ons and complaint in the case to the
all, and asked me to let him have it. {
declined, with the remark that as l
ad written about my own case l would
md this as sequel.
That, Mr.. Advertiser, is what |
now Of the case, and from my point of {
ew it is a correct statement The in ]
lnctiOn will be heard this morning;
1t that's another story.
IF this thing keeps up will be con-
dered pretty good meat by the attor- I
eys." a
