COURT OF INQUIRY.
Witness said before the Court of
Inquiry he took an oath to answer all
the questions propounded. CAT this
point Mr.. Kinney took up the ques-
tons asked by the Court of Inquiry
and requested the same answers. The
defendant was subjected to crucial
examination on the points about the
sight, all of which have been referred
to before.)
VISITS OF RHODES.
Became intimate with Rhodes i'm
1898. Witness had no frequent Wis
itors. Rhodes called only two or
three times in several months. Re
membered he was here once at night.
Not sure it was since he distracted
the sight. In May witness was a trife
ill., Would then do the Jim Dowsett
act of evenings-ride out to Waikiki
and come back.
CALLS AT NIGHT.
On being reminded. witness said he
remembered a call at his tent from
Rhodes after 9 o'clock on the evening
of Friday June 10. Talked with him
some time. Walked from tent to steps
and talked for an hour. On the 18th
Rhodes may have called again. Both
of these visits, if there were two, were
after the sight had been mentioned.
Could not remember what was CONVEX
sation with Rhodes. Did not know
why he called, or why he stayed until
after 10 o'clock. Did not know why
the tent was left for talk at the
steps of the Executive building.
Rhodes was not a gossip as defendant
understood the term. Witness and
Rhodes had met oftener than twice
after the information about the sight.
not question him further, as supposed
he was special in the employ of the
Government and knew his business.
Rhodes was mistaken when he said
he had not been in the grounds at
night since May Is.
After the battery was put in order
never noticed the Waikiki gun with
out a sight in it up to last December
when ceased to be officer of the day.

Rhodes is said to have taken the sight
Col. Soper told witness before Robert
son returned that Rhodes had told him
about the sight matter. This was
two or three days after arrest.
Defense rested.

REBUTTAL.

IlCDt "a
Mr. Rhodes was the first witness in
rebuttal. He said what he intended
to say with respect to coming to the
grounds was that he did not visit the
place in May after the 18th. Was in
the grounds late in the day in June.
Came to see r. Jay Greene. Greene
was not on the grounds and so went to
Goods tent. Did not take the breech
block all the way out of the gun.
At this juncture, at request of Mr..
Kinney, the court adjourned to the
gun shed to have Mr.. Rhodes remove
one of the breech blocks and put it
back. Witness took out the breech
block of the gun on the Waikiki end,
but failed to get it back, after trying
eleven minutes to do so. He was
asked to try the next gun. The breech
block of that one was taken out and
replaced in one minute. 1t may be
said that this gun was in u dim light
from window just over it. Sergt,
Weatherby replaced the breech block
in the first gun, the one witness had
failed to get back, in twenty seconds.
Both guns were in the dark. On cross
examination witness explained the
mechanism of the breech block which
held it in the gun. When the angle
was secured, it made little difference
whether it was by day or night, the
work would be equally easy.
At 1920 the prosecution closed and
recess of ten minutes was taken in
order that Maj. Mcleod might arrive
to hear the argument. s.
At 1920 Mr.. Robertson began his
argument for the defense. He was
followed by Mr.. Kinney, and presented
his own closing argument after mid
night. The court then took the case
under consideration.
Thereupon the court adjourned to
1880 Saturday evening, when closed
session will be held for deliberation
upon the case. This will give the
stenographer time to type-write the
evidence. most of which will have TO
be reviewed by the court. The de-
cision together with all the evidence
will then be submitted to Minister
Cooper.

Mr.. J. II. Moon of Harrisburg,

of Arkansas. He had never

got one of our druggists to order
some of them. 1 received the

have been turning to the Southern States
homes. 1t is known that within the past
six months half dozen large colonies
have gone to Alabama and Georgia for no
other reason than that the land is cheaper
there than here.
Now as a fact there is plenty of good
farming land for sale in California and the
impression as to the high prices is based to
a great extent upon what is published
concerning real estate in the southern part
OF the State. In the middle and northern
parts of California there is plenty of cheap
! land where even the semi-tropical fruits
can be raised at profit.
Mr.Filcher's S proposition is to raise money
for missionary" purposes in the East
More literature descriptive of available
cheap California farming lands and general
information should be published he
thinks, and distributed in the East. Also,
active agents for the Board of Trade should
be sent TO the large cities of the East and
turn to the West these large bodies of
/ homeseekers now headed for the South
ern States. AS stated, all this requires
money, and this feature is now occupying
Mr.. Filcher's attention.
His first move has been to start ont two
active canvassers to visit the local whole
sale merchants, business men and those
who hold large tracts of unoccupied land.
Last evening these men reported having
met with success, and the subscriptions
obtained will form the nucleus of fund
for the purposes stated.
In short time large quantities of at
tractive reading matter will be sent where
it will do the most good in the East, and
the Board of Trade will constitute itself a
local bureau of information.

SOME THING FOR NOTHING
James Hogan Suing to Get
100000 Worth of Prop
erty for 5000.
Inter esting and Complicated Legal
Points Concerning Trust and
Sheriff Deeds.

A singular case is soon to come to trial
in this City, which involves the disposition
of 100000 worth of property.
The validity of two deeds constitute the
pivotal and vital points in the case, and II
one of the two is pronounced invalid the
plaintiff will get $50, 900 worth of property
for $500. AS the story goes, man by the
name of Burns died several years ago and
left his two sons valuable property at the
northwest corner of Pine and Battery
streets. Robert T. Burns decided his half
interest in the property TO his wife, who IN
turn decided 1t to e. F. Hanlon in trust for
their minor child. Thus, at that time the
property stood half in Hanlon's name as
a trust and the other half in the name Of
Burns brother The brother died and
left his half to Robert T.
In 1885, so the complaint sets forth,
Robert Burns decided his original half
interest and that inherited from his
brother to Hanlon, in order to defeat a
judgment then pending against him. 1t

lr 1891 General Dickinson obtained judg
ment for James Hogan against Robert
Burns for $1200 The case was appealed,
and the Supreme Court affirmed the judg-
ment. But Hogan could not get his
money. After an Intellectual attempt he
let the matter drop, and thought his suit
was hopeless, until his attorney, Walter
LInforth, discovered some legal compli-
cation overlooked by the other attorneys
who had previously handled the case
Under the Judgment obtained by Hogan
the property was sold to him by the Sheriff
Tor 500. Burns failed to redeem, and the
Sheriff issued to Hogan deed of Burns
interest In the property.
On an order of examination supplement
tary to judgment it was found that the
trst deed to Hanlon from Burns was void
for want of consideration. Then 1t was
that the trust deed existence was discov-
cred, and under the Supreme Court de-
cision i'll the Walkerley case the suit will
now be prosecuted on the supposition that
the Hanlou deeds are void, and if the

committee has received the utmost encour-
agement, owing to the fact that many very
prominent citizens have volunteered to
collect subscriptions and otherwise exert
their efforts toward making a great sue
cess of the celebration.
Secretary A. r. Smith said last night:
I'VE can safely prognosticate the coming
Fourth of July observance to be the great
est in the history of San Francisco"
The committee is greatly desirous that
the City decorations and the pyrotechni ic
display al night shall be novel and unique
and wholly out of the beaten path usually
followed Oh such occasions. Therefore
suggestions from citizens on these matters
will be gratefully received and will be ac-
corded due consideration.
The secretary is in receipt of a letter
from John D. Spreckels expressing his
willingness TO act as member of the COM
mittee and promising to do his utmost to
help the undertaking along.
The finance committee has adopted a
collection form, so that all attempts to
fraudulently solicit money in the name OF
the committee may be guarded against,
The form contains the signatures OF the
chairmen of the finance and executive
committees and the secretary of the entire
committee.
The secretary has been directed to send
these notices to the bankers of the City,
and a committee consisting OF ID. j. Staples,
I. Cutie and Colonel William Macdonald
is appointed to send similar notices to the
insurance men.
Sheriff Whelan has been appointed q
committee to collect in the City Hall and
the district bounded by Golden Gate
avenue, Jones, Larkin and Market streets.
Chairman I. J. Truman will appoint a
committee of two to collect subscriptions

Iections will be finally determined to-day.
S. L. Lent, president of the day. |. J. Tru-
man, chairman of the finance committee,

OF July committee, are appointed to select
collectors for the several DISTRICTS
The Loyal Legion was com plimented by
an understanding that two of its members
j. B. Whittemore and i. D. OHM
should be given preference as collectors.
The decoration committee has been ma
terially augmented in strength by the ad'
dition OF the eminent electrical engineer
W. F. c. Hassan, the superintendent OF
the Midwinter Fair electrical display. Mr..
Hassan will aid to provide for an electrical
display on the night of the Sd, 4th and 9th
of July upon all of the principal streets o1
the city
AulOIlS tue COl4eCLlOu. HIulbtScSs JUN
C. kirkpatrick of the Palace Hotel and
Charles Montgomery of the Brooklyn
have been appointed to solicit subscrip-
tions from the various hotels.
The committee have in contemplation a
fireworks display wholly out of the ordinary
run. One idea which has been advanced is
to send up displays from different parts OF
the City, so that the gathering of an i'm
mense crowd in one particular place will
be done away with. Still the committee
expresses itself open to suggestions on this
feature also.
