The Alleged Lunat.c Makes q Stormy Cast
in Court
SAN BERNARDINo, April 3.-Wl atever
may be the ultimate result OF the habeas
corpus proceedings which have resulted in
bringing the case of Judge Charles S. Huse
80 prominently before the court. it will be
remembered 40 the most notable case OF
it's kind in the history of local courts.
Judge Otis court room has been thronRed
all day, every attorney in the city who
could be present being in attendance.
Among other things developed by the
examination is the fact that Attorney
Gallardo, with that abiding faith in the
Justice of his cause, is q terror to Witnesses
whom he cross-examines, while more than
once during the day he proved himself a
match for opposing counsel.
The asylum people were on the stand
most of the forenoon, DR.. Dolan and STU
pervisor kimball both giving their test-
nony. Each OF them swore that Judge
Huse was harmless, as far as the life and
property of others was concerned, and
they agreed that he would not harm him
self except by the picking and destroying
of his clothing. Yet when the question
was asked them about the releasing of
Judge Huse, each testified that it would be
dangerous to do so.
DR.. Campbell himself has not appeared
at the present examination, it being an
nounced that he is ill. In the afternoon
Attorney Gallardo again took the stand to
give additional testimony in the case, and
it was here that a very pretty passage at
arms occurred, in which Gallardo did not
come off second best. Mr.. Sprecher was
questioning him with reference to the vast
property interests claimed by Judge Huse,
and fl .ally inquired il there was not dam
ger of this properly being scattered, not
being in the hands of guardian, after
Judge Huse was committed.
Gallardo admitted it, whereupon Mr..
Sprecher asked why he had not aprlied for
the appointment OF guardian. Quick as
a fash came the reply: "Because to do so
would have to make affidavit that Judge
Huse is non compos mentis, and do not
and never have believed that he is non
compos mentis."
A moment later Mr.. Sprecher asked
about the warrant issued for DR.. Camp
BELLS arrest this morning, and inquired of
Gallardo if he had made affidavit to the
complaint. This Gallardo admitted, and
Mr.. Sprecher then inquired what was his
motive.
"My motive,' said the attorney, twas
this: Because have the right to attack
in any way can and weaken the influence
of those who are opposed to the interests of
my client"
Referring to the frequently repeated d
statement that Judge Huse had been badly
treated in the asylums, Mr.. Sprecher asked
why no evidence of this had been intro
duced in the way of scars, or something
tangible; and then followed the most
dramatic scene of the trial. Judge Huse,
who was sitting at the attorneys table,
placed his foot against 1t, and pulling up
the leg of his trousers. revealed a limb
which from ankle to knee was but mass
of scars, and for ten minutes he continued
giving physiological description of the
injuries inflicted and their effects, which
displayed the most intricate technical
knowledge on the subject.
AFTER DIR. CAMPBELL
Attorney +. F. Gallardo. who is counsel
FOR Judge Charles S. Huse in the habeas
corpus proceedings which have occupied
the attention OF Judge Otis for two days,
is proving himself Fighter He went
into the clerks office this morning and be-
gan looking up the matter of the registra-
ton of physicians in the county. He found
that DIR. NJ. B. Campbell. medical director
of the asylum, had neglected to file his
certificate as a practicing physician, as is
required by law.
This was at once taken advantage of by
Gallardo. who forthwith requested Major
Disc to 60 before Judge Souie and make
affidavit to the fact that DR.. Campbell was
not registered as physician. The affida.
Wit was made, whereupon Mr.. Gallardo
swore to complaint charging DR.. Camp.
