Judgment for $4,000

Yesterday, at noon. In department
three of the superior court, Judge Pierce
of San Diego rendered judgment In favor
of 7. Wiesendanger for $l5,0OO with IN
terest from June IA, 1883, amounting 10
about $4,000, in the first OF four cases
entitled "Wiesendanger VS.. Mcfarland.
Wiesendanger and Mcfarland. In 1885,
Jointly purchased the Waverly tract.
Bonito tract, and Sierra Madre tracts
of lands. Wiesendanger did the active
work Of improving and selling; McFar-
land collected the money. After the
property was all sold, and large profit
realized, Mcfarland delivered to Wies-
endanger three accounts. one of each
tract, on June IA, 1883, each account
showing large balance of profit. The
Waverly tract, $7069 due to Wiesen-
danger on his share Of one-third; the
Bonito tract, $3252; the Sierra Madre
tract, $4,000. Wiesendanger had also
made payments on the purchase of these
tracts. On his asking Mcfarland to
pay him his share of the profits and also
the money paid in, Mcfarland made ex-
cuses and never paid any money at all
to Wiesendanger. The defense. was
based on technical point claiming that
these were only memoranda of account.
and not intended to be what is legally
called stated accounts. Judge Pierce
held that they were stated accounts:
that Mcfarland collected all these
moneys, delivered the accounts, that
they were accepted and agreed to, but
Mcfarland never paid the money. The
other cases are similar in nature and
are to be tried before Judge Pierce at
the earliest opportunity that he can hear
them in Los Angeles city. The attor-
neys for Mcfarland were Milliken and

the alleged last will and testament OF
Mrs. Douglas. and had also delivered
himself of big chunks of wisdom for the
enlightenment of the jury, verdict was
returned in favor of his clients.
But some folks are ungrateful, and Mr..
Brooks is not content to sit back and
philosophiae over the deceitfulness of
the human heart. He believes his late
clients are bilking him out of his hardly
earned fees, and he is going to have some
return for the expenditure Of gray mat

why. 1t was agreed between him and
them that half of all interests. both real
and personal, should be his part OF the
funeral baked meats, and upon this stip-
ulation he entered the legal arena to do
knightly battle.
Now, however. with his honors thick
upon him, he claims that the Stevens
crowd, the elder of whom is admins
traitor of the estate of Elizabeth H. Doug
las. deceased, are trying to hypothecate
all the property of the estate for the pur-
pose of "hogging" the entire estate for
their own benefit and to deprive him Of
his just dues. He has, accordingly. en-
tered suit against the Stevens family.
and in his complaint alleges that War

Injunction restraining Horace Stevens
from disposing of any and all properties
until the little string he has to the Doug

THE MURDER EXAMINATION
Detective 0oodmsn on the Stand All
Day Yesterday
Going Over the Same 0round-An Adjourn.
msnt Taken Until Wednesday. When
the Prosecution VIII Close

Before Justice Morrison the examina-
tion of Hezekiah and Van Horne was re-
sumed yesterday morning for the murder
of Edward White on the night Of June
Is last. Detective Goodman was put on
the stand and occupied II all day. with
one or two short intermlssions. His di-
rect examination consumed all the fore
noon and his discrimination by de-
fendants' counsel all the afternoon ses-
sion. 1t had been expected that his tes-
timony would be the most damaging
yet produced, and 1t was, yet failed to
directly connect either defendant with
the terrible crime except by circumstan-
tial evidence.
He told of his having taken hold of
the case upon request of the chief of po-
lice, and of satisfying himself first that
Amos Abbott had no connection with
the murder. Then he began to look else
where. The result of his Investigations
was the arrest of the Hezekiah boys.
Harry and Arthur. the discharge OF
Arthur later on as innocent. and the cap
ture Of Van Horne.
On June % he, in company with officer
Talamentes, went to the house where
Van Horne was stopping and found him
In bed. He was told to dress and accom-
pany the policemen to the station, as he
was wanted there, and was asked where
his revolver was. He said 1t was in his
trunk. and search disclosed 45-caliber
Colts. with every chamber loaded. Van
Horne told Goodman that he had fired
the gun off last on the Wednesday even
ing preceding the murder, when he shot
at dog on Ann street.
He was in company Of Hezekiah on the
fatal Friday night. when they were in
the Vienna buffet until 1880 o'clock.
and separated to go home, Hezekiah say
ing that he was going to call on an ac-
Quaintance. One of the principal points
of discrepancy in HIS statements was
where Van Horne said he had only met
Georgia Abbott or been at her house
once, on the Wednesday preceding the
murder. This has been proved to have
been false, as he was there with Heze-
kiah on Friday night.
Much evidence was also introduced re-
garding the fitting of Hezekiah's shoes
to the tracks found In the dust of Cha
vez street and their examination by the
different police officers. The cross-ex-
animation of Goodman was exhaustive,
but he was more than a match for At
torney Marble, and was not shaken at
any point. At 5 p. m. he was released
from the witness chair and further hear
ing was postponed until Wednesday
morning at $50 o'clock, when Sergt.
Smith and officer Talamantes will be
recalled to give further testimony re-
garding the footprints and circum-
stances attending the arrests of the
suspected men.
The usual throng of female auditors
sat behind the prisoners all day, bring
ing them bouquets in the morning when
they came in. Hezekiah chatted once in
awhile with one of them, but Van Horne
attended strictly to the business in hand
and drank in every word that was ut
tered. 1t now seems probable that with
Wednesdays session the side of the
prosecution can be closed and the de-
fense be given an opportunity.
