DR.. Cecil Corwin says. that DR.. Harmon

threatened to shoot her GA fayorite form
of abuse" said Corwin, 'was to throw soft
boiled eggs at her at breakfast The doc
tor became so cruel that my sister re-
turned TO her mothers house, taking her
little girl with her. Then she commenced
suit for her divorce. A few days ago my
sister received letter in which was in

his conduct" The manner in which they
punished him has been already published
Mrs. Powers. who resides near the Har-
mon house at San Leandro, says that the
doctor made the mistake of marrying a
family, and is now reaping the benefit.
She says that there are two distinct sides
to the story Of the Harmon trouble, and
when the divorce case comes to trial there
will be more than one sensation.
DR.. Harmon was in the Police Court this
morning to answer to the charge of mis-
| demeanor. On the plea that he was at
present suffering acutely from nervousness
his case was postponed for a week.

Rev. E. B. Payne Speaks Con-
cerning the Difficulties of
the Colony.
Youthful Disturbers of the Peace.
President Jordan Will Lecture.
Items of Interest.

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 20.-The news
of the abandonment by the Altrurians of
their social-colony scheme at Mark West
is of interest to many residents of Berke-
lev, in which town the famous colony was
organized.
One of the most prominent OF the pro-
jectors of Altruria when it was organized
in 1894 was Rev. E. B. Payne of the Uni
tartan church of Berkeley. Mr.. Payne
has been leader in all the enterprises of
Altruria.
/ 'The band of fraternal workers at Al
truria has been obliged to succumb to
financial obstacles" said Mr.. Payne to-
day. 1.-The hard times, together with the
failure of promised aid, have made the at
tempt of the colonists an exceedingly diff
cult one and the association became con-
yinced that it ought to close up some part
or it's affairs while 1t was yet able to pro-
vide for the payment of its obligations.
1.-The association is still in existence as an
INCORPORATION and it will continue as such,
though its efforts in the direction of found
ing colony will be discontinued. Our
paper, the Altrurian, will be continued
and will be the organ of the association. "
The reasons for the move made by the
AItrurians are shown in the following
resolutions passed by the association:
WHEREAS, This association entered on its

the purpose of fixing the time and place
for the next State Convention. j. NJ.
Glass of Pasadena presided, and there was
fair attendance of committeeman from
several interior points. 1t was decided to
hold the State Convention at Stockton on
May 13 and ID. The following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That it is the duty of Congress to
refuse to pass any funding bill for the exten-
sion OF the debt of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company to the Government, but that the lien
OF the Government on said railroad should be
foreclosed at the earliest opportunity and the
road bid in and operated as public highway
in the interest OF the people.
There was large attendance at the ban
quet tonight at the Albany Hotel. The
following were the toasts ana the speakers:
"Our State Work." Hon. J. NJ. Glass; sRight-
eous Minorities," Rev. Philip Graft; "The
Good Citizens Movement Coming Our Way"

which he says will end his life in about
four years. 1t has already almost totally
deprived him of the power of hearing and
speech. DR.. Harmon was a fearless rider
some years ago, and he and his favonte
dark brown horse formed one OF the most
familiar figures on the county road.
He attri butes his present troubles to the
fact that he placed the Corwin family
under big obligations to him. 'Ten years
ago." said the doctor, 81 met the woman

BENDIT DID NOT FORGE,
A Neat Question Decided by the
Supreme Court in a
Criminal Case.
Fraudulent Signatures by an Agent
Cannot Be Called
FoKgeries.

Simon Bendit has been given another
chance by the Supreme Court and the
chance promises to be valuable one un-
less more suitable charge than forgery
can be brought against him. Bendit was
sentenced to fourteen years in prison.
The charge was that Bendit had forged
the firm name 'William Cluff & Co."
to a receipt for money, and he passed the
paper to G. w. Hume & Co., realizing
S75 20 on the transaction. In the presence
of the cashier of Hume & Co. Bendit
signed the receipt, adding "per A. B. !"
after it, 1t is to this last little piece
of forethought that Bendit owes his respite.
The Supreme Court holds that this places
the signature beyond the limits of forgery
and the court orders that the judgment be
reversed, adding, "Of course another trial
upon the theory upon which the first trial
was conducted would be useless"
In commenting upon the case the court
says:
1t is quite clear that the facts stated do not
constitute forgery. When the crime is charged
to be the false making OF a writing, there must
be the making of a writing which falsely pur-
ports to be the writing of another. The falsity
must be in the writing itself in the manu-
script A false statement of fact in the body
of the instrument, or false assertion of
authority TO write another's name. or to sign
his name as agent, by which q person is de-
ceiyed or defrauded, is not forgery. There
must be design to pass as the genuine writ
ing of another person that which is not the
writing of such other person. The instrument
must fraudulently purport to be what it
is not. And there was nothing of the kind in
the case at bar. There was no pretense that
''Wm. Cluff & Co." was the genuine signature
of that fin. 1t was written by appellant him
self in the presence of the party who paid the
money; he added the initials A. B. to it. and
he was understood to be acting as the agent OF
the firm, and to have written the name Cluff
& Co. by himself as such agent. By these acts
he may have committed some crime but he
did not commit forgery.

me because they are under obliga-
tlous TO me. One day in San Lean
dro they created disturbance ana
then called a Deputy Sheriff in ana
accused me. My physical condition is
such that l could not disturb any ones
peace, The Sheriff held me while my wife
took the baby and left the house. Inc
baby was the only thing in my solitary
life that was Joy to me. l was trying 10
get out of the jurisdiction OF the court
when 1 was arrested. l wanted to go on
steamer to the north. so that could get
chance to engage attorneys and make
fight. They wanted to keep me here ana
worry me, so the warrant was issued. l
sent nothing improper to my wife ana
will prove it in court"
The arrest of DR.. Harmon for disturbing
the peace occurred before the divorce pro-
ceedings were commenced. DR.. Harmon
was taken to Judge Cliffs court and was
released on $100 cash bail. DR.. Cecil Cor
win figures in the record as the complain
ing witness. The case was never pushed,
as the attorneys agreed to let the affair be
held in allegiance.

rounding it and leading up to it have
drawn forth many expressions of sympa-
thy in the town where his home is situ-
ated. There arc many who look on the
doctor as a much-abused man.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Harmon's
brother, Dr. Cecil Corwin, an Oakland
dentist, went out to the beautiful nome of
the Harmons at San Leandro. He was
accompanied by young man named
Wheeler, and they were anxious to get
into the house. Somewhat to their sur
prise, they found the house under the pro-
lection of 4 man named Davis, who is
servant, and who refused to allow them TO
enter.
81 was put in charge of this place." said
Davis last night, ''and don't propose to
let any one in. If that was Mrs. Har-
mons brother, what right has he coming
to the house. He knows his sister is in
Oakland, and DR.. Harmon is not here, and
1 have not permission to allow any one to
enter
The house is luxuriously furnished and
stands in the center of grounds that are
tastefully laid out with flowers and trees.
1t is an ideal country home and stands
about half mile from the county road to
Haywards. In opposition to the usual
course OF family troubles, many OF those
who were peighbors TO the Harmons think
the doctor deserves more pity than he is
getting. They refer to the time when he
was great horseman, when his back WAS
erect and he was a fine specimen of man
hood. That was before he was attacked
with that dread disease, spinal ataxia, and
