ANGUS-CRAVEN CASE.
The Defendant Too Ill to Attend the
Trial.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-When
the Angus Craven case was called for
trial this morning Mrs. Craven failed to
appear, her physician explaining that
she was too i'll to attend.
Judge Slack, being anxious to proceed,
the plaintiffs counsel called John r.
Aiken to the stand. AS the plaintiff
relied mainly upon the testimony of this
witness to prove the alleged conspiracy
to secure the property of the late Sem
ator Fair, an unusual amount of interest
was manifested in his examination. He
stated that he first met Mrs. Craven at
her residence on Guerrero street on
July 3, 1896, where he was taken by
Martin Kelly. Mrs. Craven was in bed,
but Miss Craven was present during
part of the interview. After discussing
the case for two hours, he called again
a few days later, and was then shown
the deeds. Mrs. Craven produced them
from beneath her pillow.
Attorney Delmas, on behalf of Mrs
Craven, made desperate efforts to keep
Aitken's story from the jury, arguing
that anything which passed between his
client and Aitken was in the nature of
professional confidence, Aitken being an
attorney.
Counsel for the Fair heirs, however
contended that a lawyer could not be
invited to abet a crime and then di-
vulge it, as that was no part of his duty
Judge Slack took the matter under
advisen1ent until the noon recess, but on
resuming this afternoon concluded to
admit the testimony of the witness, in
view of the fact that a third party was
present at the interviews, provided that
the other side could prove the criminal
nature of the statements made.
After many objections and more de-
bates, Attorney Aitken was allowed to
state that on July 9, 1896, the date upon
which he first saw the deeds, Mrs.
Craven said that she had been recon-
mended to see him by Governor Budd.
She realized that she had many diff
culties to overcome and that she would
meet with considerable opposition, but
she intended to have no scruples of con-
science She then showed him the pen
ell deeds, and announced that she
wanted to be able to say that he had
seen them in 1895, and desired him to
testify to that effect. AS this was the
first time he had either seen or heard
of them he refused
