hTTOREY DELN1AS Interrupts Mr. Persons Opening

The stenographic report of the morning
proceedings was called into requisition to
show that the court had practically told
the attorneys for the defense that they
could withdraw the cross-complaint.
Il did think this morning that counsel
had the right to withdraw II" interposed
Judge Slack. "But l have since consulted
the code, and / find that such course is
not permissible"
Mr.. Delmas argued again, but the court
would not change its ruling. So the cross
complaint will stand.
Attorney Pierson then made the open
ing addre to the court and jury for the
plaintiffs. For a long time prior to his
death, said the attorney, Senator Fair
was the acknowledged owner of the two
parcels of property now in dispute. Upon
his death he left a will in which ne be-
queathed this property along with others
10 his children. In this will he also made
the avowal that he was not married, and
was the father of no children other than
those mentioned in the document, and
declared further that all OF the property
enumerated was his own and nobody had
any claim on it. This will was executed
on Septem ber 81, 1894. On December 2S
of the same year Senator Fair died.
Mr.. Pierson began to warm up now, and
was going on 10 relate that Senator Fair,
just before his death, gave instructions
that his will should be filed "the moment
the breath left his body" when Mr. Del
mas made an emphatic objection TO any
such declarations being made in court.
Judge Slack agreed with Mr.. Delmas
and prom pity informed Mr.. Pierson that,
he was stepping over the bounds and must
desist.
Gentlemen oft jury" said his Honor.
turning to the twelve men in the box;
"you will understand that this is merely
an opening statement. You must not
look upon it as eviden ce.'
When Mr.. Pierson resumed he devoted
his remarks by telling the jury what an
awfully bad woman they were going to
prove Mrs. Craven to be. Mrs. Craven, he
said, went to Reuben II. LLOYD aud
George A. Knight and said she had in her
possession a Will executed by Senator
Fair later than the document filed by the
miliionaire's executors. Thi. will did not
leave the heirs SO seriously handicapped
as did the first one, so 4 contract was
drawn up whereby Mrs. Craven was to be
paid S500,000 If she would produce tue will
and it should be found genuine.
Mr.. Pierson at this point grew argumen-
tative again and was once more taken to
task by the court In fact all through his
address he had to be continually inter-
rupted by Judge Slack and cautioned by
him to Or more fair.
Mr.. Pierson got into deep water again
before he bad said dozen words. He
attempted to have the 'lead-pencil" will
shown TO the jury.

two valuable pieces of property which she
asserts wvre decided TO her by the late
Senator Fair, were treated to something
OF scare yesterday when the proceedings
II the great case were resumed.
1t was D. NJ. Uelmas of Mrs. Craven's
counsel who exploded the she'll that
caused the CONSERVATION, and it took the
opposing side the entire forenoon and
good part of the afternoon to wrigglc out
Of their dilemma. And il was all over an
innocent-looking little document that Mr..
Delmas filed with the clerk as soon as
Judge Slack declared court open, and
asked Il at ii be made part OF the record.
This document was the answer OF the
defense to the com plant in the case as 1t
was amended Wednesday afternoon by
the counsel for the plaintiffs. True, the
latter only essayed TO correct little error
in the com plant but it gave the defense
the opening desired. and it was taken
advantage of in = twinkling. The answer
was not what the plaintiffs side had
expected, for instead of being an elaborate
reproduction of the defense's cross-com-
plant, it was merely a denial of the
charges in the complaint II was ac-
knowledged TO be clever stroke, for on It's
face. it seemed to deprive the legal
cham pions for the Fair estate executors of
the best part of their threatened thunder.
1t would narrow the great case down to
sim pie little trial to quiet title.
When these gentlemen had recovered
from their surprise sthey assumed an air
of nonchalance. and Mr.. Pierson, just to
show that he was not alarmed, remarked
10 the court that he supposed tho trial
would be proceeded with Immediately.
But what about this change in the sit
uation ?" asked his Honor.
1--WE see no change, your Honor" said
Mr.. Pierson.
Judg ge Slack devoted at least ten min
utes of careful study TO the documents in
the case.
any impression is" he said finally,
that the situation here Is very much
changed"
Mr.. Pierson said he hoped not--in fact
lie thought he could convince his Honor
that he was mistaken. The attorney then
proceeded to elucidate by declaring that
the issue was unquestionably the so-called
equita BILE defense to Mrs. Craven's cross
complaint.
How do you make it out that under
the present circumstances there is still a
cross-complaint," slyiy asked Mr.. Delmas.
Attorney Charles Wheeler was up in an
instant with an inquiry as to whether or
not the defense had withdrawn its Cross
complaint.
Our answer to your amended COM
PLANT is quite clear, replied Mr.. Delmas,
with tantalizipg smile.
Ar. Wheeler turned appealingly to the

when they were exhibited on Broadway
New York, and with the appearance of the
pictures everywhere the sensation will be
in ten sitied.
Here in San Francisco a young scientist
is making photographs in natural colors
by method that will make Chassagne's
wonder get off the earth into the histories
when it is got to working Just exactly
right
This assertion is made on the authority
of T. p. Andrews, a well-known photo
graphic dealer and expert. and one or two
others. The inventors name is a secret
as is his process, but the fellow has nailed
the principle and has produced colored
photographs that are wonderful, it is
said.
BY Chassagne's method an ordinary
sensitized plate is first treated by INNER
sion in secret solution. Then 1t is used
in the ordinary way. ana when developed
cannot be told from an ordinary negative.
The print is made from this negative in
the ordinary way, but on sensitized
paper treated win hat same mysterious
solution. This print, again, shows moth
ing different from the ordinary one. This
print is then passed successively through
three coiored soluiions--blue. green and
red. The mysterious solution with which
the paper was treated has given it power
of selection by which it takes up the
exact amount of each color present in the
subject of the photograph. So perfectly
is this done that every tint and shade is
reproduced.
'.Our man Is working on an entirely
fferent principle" said Mr.. Andrews.
while speaking cautiously yesterday, and
his method is vastly more simple. He
says that his discovery is based on prin-
ciples of light and chemistry quite differ
ent from those of the Frenchman.'
A year ago, as the reliable story is gath
cred, this local inventor who had for many
years been an expert am ateur Photographic ic
crank. had hit upon the secret of and had
made photographs In colors. He was PEN
niIess, wanted capital, and went to Mr..
Andrews, who talked with one or two men
OF large means. 1t was business propo-
sition wholly. The pictures were crude
and the process complicated and uncer-
tain. though the principle and possibility
were there.
The French invention has already been
sold to an English syndicate, which will
supply the plates, paper and liquids and
sell territorial rights TO sell them The
value of the invention may be Judged
from the fact that the company has lust
refused f30,0o0 or nearly $150,OOO for tn Q
right 10 Germany, besides paying a royalty
on all sales. The liquids are to be manu-
factured exclusively in Paris by NJ. Chas-
sagne and shipped thence 10 the branch
establishments all over the world.

a rude two-story frame structure, and
were at once keenly eyed by the
loungers and guests, who evidently
considered us very stupid specimens
of the ''tenderfoot" variety.
The most important servant of the
house was a stalwart, fullbearded
man of thirty-five, whose garb de-

every body addressed as ike"

our intention to visit the apartment

to escort us thither.

Everything's all right, SO far: there's
no suspicion. you've got what you

to our valises-''and you'll not set to

with jerk of his thumb side door

backing suddenly to the entrance
with an expression of fear in his ugly
face, while his owlish eyes kept con-

Utterly amazed, tried to speak,

After supper we went directly to

which had been lighted for our use.
1t was then eleven o'clock.
Through the par tition on the right,
opposite the door opening into the
other room, we heard voices, and
listened. 1t was some miners, judg-
