The attorneys for j. J. Cooney in his

In regard to the suit OF Jerome Caldwell
and the giving to the public of Senator
Fairs characteristic private letters there
are two or three facts that may be of in
terest.
These letters, extending over a period
from 1858 to the date of James G. Fair s
death, supplied valuable examples of the
hand writing of James G. Fair. 1t was
upon such comparison of these very let
ters that it was publicly stated that
Charles L. Fair and his sisters and their
attorneys came to the positive conclusion
that the pencil will was genuine. When
the letters were sent by Caldwell to
Charles L. Fair Fair solemnly promised
that be would return them upon Cald-
wells request
Caldwell himself during the last few
mon hs has rep atedly asked for their re-
turn and q few weeks ago, unsolicited,
asked Delmas & Shortridge to secure the
letters for him. Monday, before the suit
was brought, a formal demand in writing
accompanied by copies of all of the letters,
was served personally on Charles L. Fair.
He then refused 10 state whether he would
or would not return the letters. A
few hours afterward a. second mes
senger was sent to him and saw
one of his attorneys, to whom Fair
had referred the matter, and who then
told the messenger that if Mr.. Delmas
concluded that they would not return the
letters his conclusion would be correct.
The result of such an answer to q formal
demand left but one course open under
Caldwell's instructions to his attorneys.
Suit was at once commenced, and since
1t was suit for specific delivery of pei
sonal property, that property had to be
specifically described. So far as Caid wells
interests are concerned, it is asserted that
he has absolutely nothing to do with any
litigation that has heen commenced or
carried on by DR.. Marc Leyingston or Mrs.

the Finest Marketing Place in the
Country Formally Opens Up.

Country Formally Opens Up.
The new Union square Market at the
corner of Powell and O'Farrell streets
formally opened last night under most
auspicious circumstances. Elaborate pre-
parations had been made throughout the
market for the occasion, and the various
stalls were dressed in the most becoming
style. The Park band was in attendance
and rendered sweet discourses amid the
scene of picturesque carnage.
The Union-seuare Market is a new and
handsome place which was especially con-
structed for its present occupants, the for
mer tenants of the old Center market ON
Sutter street and Grant avenue. 1t is one
OF the largest and finest marketing places
in this country. The reputation OF the
merchants who occupy this pew establish
ment is too. well known to require any
extended commendation, many of them
having been tenants of the old Center
market ever since it opened up, twenty
years ago.
Although the marketmen moved into
their new home last month, the formal
opening has been deferred until this even
ing on account of the several arrange
ments in the interior of the building that
mas been going on, as we'll as the manage
ment having awaited the advent OF
Thanksgiving as more opportune time
for such an occasion. The market is most
centrally located and offers conveniences
that no other does. 1t has two handsome
entrances.
To-day and tonight the new building
will wear its gala attire of toothsome
viands to which it is devoted. All are in
vited to attend.

Position.

Evidence of Witnesses to Filing o1
Trust DEED TO Be Intr oducGd
in Court.

Judge Slack ruled yesterday in the Fair
trust deed contest that evidence OF wit
nesses to the due execution of the will
creating the trust may be introduced for
the purpose of showing that there was no
duress or unsoundness of mind in con-
nection with the making of the trust Gre
ated by the will of August 13, 1895. This
decision places the Fair children and their
attorneys in a most embarrassing position,
because it was their intention, If the Su-
preme Courts decision on the trust were
against them, to attack the will on the
around that the maker was insane. The
present contest on the part of Charles L.
Fair is to bring the question OF the valid
ity of the trust before the Supreme Court
without permitting the will itself TO be
ruled upon.
Some time in the future he may wish to
contest that will and he does not want to
be prevented by final judgment. Upon
this subject the formidable array of legal
lights representing the various elements oi
the hree-cornered case was engaged all oil
yesterday, each side conceding some things
to the others.
Attorney Van r. Paterson said yester-
day, addressing Judge Slack:
UNLESS your Honor changes his mind
we all know what your decision in regard
to the trust is" This reference was 10 the
ruling some time since in which Judge
Slack declared against the validity of the
person al property clause OF the trust deed.
"We." said Garret McEnerney for the
trustees under the trust deed and ad-
dressing his LEGAL opponents, "either own
this real property or you own it; that's ell
there is about it. Ii This trust is valid the
property is ours.
What you should attack is the will
creating this trust. We claim that Sena-
tor Fair is dead that he made this will
creating this deed of trust; that it was his
last will, and that he was of sound and
disposing mind when he made it,
The case will be resumed in Judge
