The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03

Howard, motorman, is still lowering be-
tween lie and death, and it is expected
that the charge to be placed against the
m men in Jail will be murder.
Drs. Huntington and Kirkland, who are
now doing all they can for the girl, de-
clare tonight that she cannot be ex-
pected to live another day. When it be-
came known last evening that the girl was
in such serious condition the police were
notified, and Deputy District Attorney
Church, with Notary Koenig, took the
girls dying statement, after which De-
tective Williams and Deputy Sheriff
White arrested the doctor and the motor
man.
Howard was found in company with
Hulda Johnson, a sister of the dying girl,
to whom he is supposed to be engaged,
and both we're taken to the city prison.
"Of course 1 know what l am arrested
for" said Howard this morning "but L
am not guilty of any crime. / am we'll

know the whole family; but l never did
anything that could be twisted around
into charge of murder.
"My home is at Temescal and I went to
work for the Consolidated Company three
years ago. I became acquainted with the
Johnson girls when first started railroad
their house. I may be engage4Ao Hulda

in which he was advised 10 look out for a "big
black Jew,'' or ''hat-footed Jew," who was
paying undue attention to his wiie. HIS
manner and treatment of this contestant at
once changed, and he became and thereafter
remained insanely jealous and suspicious of
this contestant.
said retreat in Napa County said George c.
Pardee visited them, and after one of said
visits said E. II. Pardee astonished this con-
testant with charging her with having i'm
proper relations with ''big black Jew; and
upon her Information and belief Contestant
alleges that said George c. Pardee. taking ad-
vantage of the enfeeb bled condition of said E.
H. Pardee, and with inten. to ALLEVIATE his af-
lection for this contestant and to secure to
himself alarge interest in the estate of his
rather by testamentary disposition, did falsely
and fraudulently pretend and represent to
said E. II. Pardee that there was reason to be-
lieve the statements in said anonymous letter
regarding "big black Jew" were true.
In truth and in fact said statement in said
letter was utterly without foundation, and
the intimation therein contained and the
representation made to said E. Fl. Pardee
upon that subject we're utterly. wickedly and
malciously false and defamatory. Neverthe-
less, con testant alleges upon her information
and belief that said E. ID. Pardee was by said
false and fraudulent representations induced
to believe that this contests tant was al un-
worthy woman aud wife; that she had been
unfaithful to her marriage vows and marital
obligations, and that this belief operated
upon the mind of said E. II. Pardee in the
making of said pretented will, and caused him
to attempt to bestow thereby upon contestant
less OF his bounty and estate than he other
wise would have bestowed upon her, and TO
attempt to make VIII other and different
than he otherwise would have made.
In conclusion, Mrs. Pardee denies that
she ever acted improperly, or that she was
ever other than good wife. She states
that at the instance of DIR. G.. G. Pardee
detectives were employed to watch her.
She also asserts that her husband, prior
TO his DEATH told her that he had lett to

jections might be withdrawn. In the mean
time this contestant was greatly worried over
the situation, and being greatly devoted to
said E. FL. Pardee, suffered great mental an
guish on account of said opposition of George
c. Pardee, which resulted in brain fever and
long and serious illness. Thereupon said e.
H. Pardee determined no longer to listen to
the objections OF his said son, and the mar
riage between him and the contestant was
duly solmeniZed.
Upon George c. Pardee's first appearance
after said marriage at the home of his father
and this contestant, and while the latter were
with some friends partaking OF dinner, this
contestant arose and extended her hand to
him, but the courtesy was ignored with con-
temptuous demeanor and he enjoyed, as he
since often has enjoyed. the hospitality of said
home without any friendly sautations or rec
ognition of this contestant, but with mani
festatons of contempt and hatred.
And in like manner said George C. Pardee
treated his sister Nellie from her infancy to
the time of her death. Upon the return of
said George G. Pardee from Europe, where he
had been tor some time attending certain in
stltutions of learning, he resided for about two
years in the home of his father and this con-
testant.
At that time said Nellie was little child,
but said George C. Pardee never bestowed
upon her word or performed an act of affec-
tion to the knowledge of this contestant His
Indifference toward the child, especially at
times when she was sick, greatly distressed
his father and called from him rebukes.
Owing to this unbrotherly and unkind treat
against said George c. Pardee, which was in
tensiied just before and at the time said pre-
tended will was executed, on account of the
conduct of said George C. Pardee hereinafter
referred 10, OF all of which she was fully cog
infant and this feeling on her part was at all
times to him well known.
This contestant and her husband, E. r.
Pardee, lived happily together from the ii ne
OF their marriage down 10 the month OF IN v,
1895, with the exception of a brief perloa in
the year 1888, they each having great affec-
ton Tor the other.
On the Sd day, of June, 1895, said E. H.
Pardee stated that he had loaned his son
George $1,000. of which amount there had
been repaid to him about $500. In the event
of his death, said son would be released from
the pay ment of the balance due, and as he
had never given this contestant any funds ex-
cept for payment of expenses he desired to be-
stow upon her $4,000 or her use in case OF his
death. Said E. II. Pardee thereupon drew his
check for $4,000 and presented the same to
this con testant.
On July 3, 1895, said E. Fl. Pardee and this
contestant went to health retreat in the
county Of Napa for the benefit of the health of
said E. II. Pardee. They remained at this re-
treat from July TO July 21. During this
period said E. II. Pardee received, as contestant
