Grady is accused of engaging in a bar

The prosecution brought forth a half
dozen witnesses, employees Of the Or.

roe in the eve and knock him down.
After this exploit he knocked down a Sec

complaining witness, Shafer, and bit his

There was John H. Hogan, an attorney,

FINAL STRUGGLE
FOR MILLIONS
Set by the United States
Supreme Court for
May 10.
1t Will Probably End the Lit.
cation Over the Blythe
Estate.
Points in the Brief Prepared by G n.
eral Hart-Impor tant Tariff
Hints

During his recent visit to Washington,
ID. c., General w. H. II. Hart, leading
counsel in the Blythe estate litigation, ar
ranged to have the final contest in this
great struggle for the possession of mil
lions set for May 10, little more than three
weeks from the present day.
While at the National capital he also
paid considerable attention to tariff legs-
Iation, and in an interview since his re-
turn voiced some interesting opinions CT
value to the Pacific Coast.
General Hart left for Washington on
March 25 and returned about ten days
ago. Few were aware of his return. as he
at once closeted himself in his Office and
devoted his entire time to the preparation
of brief to be filed in the United States
Supreme Court in connection with the
writ of error asked for by the attorneys
for the gypsy or Kentucky Blythes. This
has now been completed and copies of it
have been served on the plaintiffs attor-
neys.
In applying for the writ of error 1t will
be remembered, the attorney for the
plaintiffs made the point that. Florence
Blythe, ha wing been born In England,
and not having come into the United
States before the death of her father, was
sn alien, and being an alien she could not
inherit property in the State OF California
without there being provision in the
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States permitting her to do so. In
other words jefferson Chandler, assistant
counsel for the plaintiffs, claimed that an
alien can only inherit when treaty ex-
pressly permits il, and that the States
have no authority, by reason of their
sovereignty, to pass any law allowing
aliens to inherit, unless so permitted to
do by treaty.
"We meet this contention" said Cen
eral Hart in discussing the matter, with
several propositions in the brief that will
be filed at Washington few days before
the matter comes up for hearing before
the Supreme Court.
''On Judge Coffey finding in the trial OF
tucky) Blythes were not related to Blythe
they appealed from that decision, and
the Supreme Court of California sustained
Judge Coffey. Therefore that decision
became final as against them in the Su-
preme Court OF California. We contend in
our brief before the United States Su-
preme Court that the writ of error should
be dismissed, because if those appealing
are not related to Blythe it is none Of
their business whether Florence was re-
lated to Blythe or not. That is TO say,
they were not aggrieved by the decision
of the State court unless they were re-
lated to Blythe. As the State court held
that they were not related to Blythe on
their own showing, therefore they were
not interested parties. This is our first
point.
THE second point is that the contest of
heirship under section 1864 Of the Code Of
Civil Procedure was ended in the Superior
Court October %, 1890, and ended in the
Supreme Court, as to theI gypsy Blythe.,
on the oath of April, 1894, and therefore
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-17

error, if at all, within the two years from
the 24th of April, 1894; that is to say, on
or before the Path of April, 1896 Having
failed to do so they are barred from at
tacking the questions involved in that
contest upon writ of error
THE thitd point is that the right of
Florence 10 inherit is and was governed
by the laws of the State of California, for
the reason that Blythe was citizen of
California and resided therein, and that
therefore California laws applied to his
property, his citizenship and her capacity
to be adopted and to inherit. We claim
that it is not Federal question, neither
as to whether California property can be
inherited by an alien.
Fourth and last, We claim that there is
no Federal question involved in the pro-
ceedings before the State courts and was
not involved at the time of the disposition
OF the estate. and that therefore the Su-
preme Court of the United States has no
jurisdiction in the premises"
In support of these contentious numer-
Gus citations are made. the principal one
being the case of the United States
against Fox (94 U. S., 315. page 321),
where the Supreme Court held that the
tenure OF real property and the right of
descent and inheritance are governed
wholly by the laws of the State in which
the property is situated.
Referring 10 the tariff situation. General
Hart took up the defense of the nickel in
dustry of the Pacific Coast
In the bill that passed the House." he
said. ''nickel was placed on the free list,
as we'll as nickel plate. There are large
deposits OF Nickel" he continued, "in
Oregon, Nevada and in the Northwest
nickel deposits large enough to supply the
entire demands of the United States. We
have sufficiently large demand In the
United States TO warrant the employment
| OF 1OOO men, which means a living for
5000 people.
THE nickel ore we get now comes from
Canada and is contained in copper ore,
and is refined by the Ansonia Brass Com
pany. The copper that is in the ore pays
for the transportation from the mine and
the refining, so that the nickel is all
practically profit. Canada, therefore,
does not want tariff placed on nickel by
the United States. The duty should be at
least 10 cents pound.
The people who own these nickel
mines in the United States say positively
that il We let nickel in free they would
| not be able to mine their property at all.
1t would practically eliminate the in
dustry from this country.
II have no doubt the Senators from
California would be very glad to sec that
nickel is taken out of the free list and put
III the Scneuule. Dut tney need some on
to call their attention to it, and l know OF
no paper better able to do this than THE
CALL.
Another important matter and one to
which the attention of the people of the
Pacific Coast should be called is the rule
that was adopted by the Senate com nit
tee for the consideration of questions re-
lating to the proposed tariff bill. No argu-
ments will be permitted, but any person
interested may forward to the com mittee
tppewritten or printed arguments on any
questions they desire and they will be
fully considered"
