ley's career in Boston and in Vermont.
In the latter place he said he had investi-
gated her career we'll nigh to the cradle,
but had found out very little about her
and nothing derogatory to her virtue;
"That was one reason why l advised
Colonel Pope to buy her a home in Los
Angeles" he said. Another reason was
that she was threatening to go to Colonel
Pope's wife, who was very delicate
woman"
The witness then told of his interview
with the plaintiff on June %, when he first
told her he would see Colonel Pope, and
try if some arrangement could be MADE
whereby she could have place to live.
At this point the Deputy Sheriff handed
Mr.. Crittenden telegram, which he
opened and proceeded to read to the wit
ness. 1t was from DIR. A. s. Whitmore of
Boston, and contained direct denial OF
certain statements in regard to MISS Ash
lev which Wood had testified, on direct ex-
| animation, the doctor had made TO MIN.
Objection was made to the introduction OF
| the telegram, and in answering the obJec-
| ton Crittenden took occasion 10 score the
Boston detective rather numerically.
Judge Slack held that the telegram was
| incompetent and the attorney stated he
| would ask for commission to take the
| physican's deposition in regard to the
| matter.
Wood then told of the various interviews
which were held in his office. The circum-
! stances of each OF these were probed into
with exacting minuteness until finally the
| INQUIRY became so verbose that his honor
| found it necessary to remind the inquisitor
| that many of his questions had been asked
| half dozen times.
! Miss Ashley, the witness declared, had
not faithfully kept her agreement with
| Pope. Not only had she entreated Wood
to make an appeal for funds to help her
in her action against Baldwin, but she had
also threatened to disgrace him II lie did
not join hands with her in this matter.
| The detective said he was not now in Pope S
| employ, but felt very friendly with him
! and had an inclination not to injure him.
| He said that it was desire to shield the
Colonels good name and protect bis fam
| lily more than the money there was IN II
| that prompted him to come here.
| Crittenden then asked in regard to the
draughting of the agreement whereby
| Miss Ashley was to secure a home neal
Los Angeles worth not more than $1,000
in consideration of her ceaslng to perse-
cute Pope. Wood said the paper was
drawn by him in Miss Ashley's presence
He had no legal advice in regard to it and
he signed it, not for Pope but with his
| own name. He averred, however, he In
tended the agreement to be with Pope.
Didn't you know" asked Mr.. Critten'
den, "that this paper could not be en-
forced by suit of law?"
at never occurred to me-" answered the
witness. 'Now you speak OF 1T thinE
the point may be well taken"
| Crittenden devoted some time to ques
| tioning along this line, but was unable tC
secure an admission from the witness tha
| he knew the paper was yaluesess. Wood
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-12

admitted that he advised Pope not to pay
the money, but he insisted he did not tell
the Colonel it was invalid.
Long before the plaintiffs attorney
showed any signs of weariness the hands
of the clock had crept past the hour of ad-
journment. Judge Slack looked up
wearily at the dial and remarked that the
examination of the witness must be con-
cluded that evening, and suggested that
no more questions be reiterated as Wood
had already had over ten hours cross-ex-
animation and an hours direct testimony.
Crittenden hurried up little, and at s
o'clock passed the witness.
Attorneys Lloyd and Highton, who had
only been heard in one or two objections
during the afternoon, took about fifteen
minutes in redirect examination. Critten-
den devoted like time to recross, and
Wood was allowed to step down.

many of their friends of both sexes kept
them company across the bay on the ferry
steamer Oakland, aud shook hands, waved
handkerchiefs and shouted greetings OF
good cheer as the train moved away.
Before the train started Dan T. Cole,
Harbor Commissioner and delegate to the
convention from the First District, dis
tributed the golden badges. The bar of
the badge bears the letters California" on
a dark-red background. A shield pendant
contains the inscription, National Re-
publican Convention 1885," Surmounting
the bar is the golden bear, typical of Cali
fornia. The badges are bound to be highly
priced as souvenirs of the National Con-
vention, and it is easy to conjecture that
the ladies of St. Louis will besiege Mr..
Cole with attention If the fact became
known there that he has a small number
of the souvenirs in reserve.
The special train, consisting of three OF
the best appointed modern Pullmans, one
dining-car, the 'EpicUre," and COM
Dosite car, "El Siglo, " was made up night
before last at the West Oakland yards and
sent down to the mole early yesterday

large streamer running the full length of
the car below the windows and displaying
the motto, "Protection to American In
dustries" and the shield of California. The
name 'tEl Orc" arrested attention at once,
inasmuch as a delegation pledged to silver
was TO ride in a coach christened for gold.
On another Pullman of the special was
displayed a banner inscribed, !'CaIifornia
Delegation to Republican Convention, st.
Louis.' A stand of flags on either side of
McKinleys picture was painted On this
banner.
The special is scheduled to arrive at
Ogden at o'clock to-day, SO there must be
some swift running across the desert.

Rousing Meeting Yesterday.


The m embers of the Twenty Sena-
toriaI District Club of the Bimetallic
League of California met last evening in
the Turner Hall on Turk street, T. II.
Bates chairman. The object of the meet
ing was the election of delegate to the
ST. Louis convention.

their delegate, whose name will at once be
forwarded to the secretary OF the execu-
tive committee with the proper cre-
dentiaIs.

after the st. Louis convention to institute
vigorous campaign in this State for the
cause of silver, regardless of party, ad-
herring to the party that offers the best
silver legislation for the whole country
and its business interests.
Hugo Hornlien was unanimously
elected delegate to the st. Louis conven-
ton and Thomas II. Bates alternate. The
club will meet again prior to the de.
parture of the delegates for st. Louis,
when it is proposed to give them grand
send-off
Hugo Hornlien addressed the club and
elected enthusiasm by the UNIQUE and
exceedingly applicable comparisons he
made upon the United States and Mexican
finance.
The club will meet again at the call of
the chairman.
