Garibaldi Giovanni is the boots of Nais-

GaribaldIs weekly duty to wash the
windows and put plate-glass polish on
them. Yesterday morning while at the
top of ladder about fifteen feet from the
ground, the ladder slipped at the bottom,

He naturally threw out his arms to catch
hold on some support, and while falling.
one of his hands struck an upward curved
awning hook and he was impaled upon it.
The hoek entered the palm. near the
thumb joint and the hand was torn COM
petely open. making bad wound.
When he came in contact with the hook,
Giovanni naturally clinched his hand to save
himself, not knowing the nature of
the obstruction. This made the
laceration much worse. He hung a few
seconds on the hook, the cruel iron tear
ing its way slowly through the palm
toward the knuckles. Then he fell, almost
fainting. to the sidewalk. Friends sent
him to the Receiving Hospital, where the
wound was dressed. 1t will be several

THE CRAVEN PEOPLE SPRING
A MINE ON CAPTAIN LEES
Telltale Evidence in Quantity in Favor OF Cooney
Found in General Dicknson'S
Office.

Craven's attorneys copies of acknowledge
ment made by several Eotaries previous to
the time of Senator Fairs death. Tney
are all similar to Cooney's forms on the
pencil deeds.
One in particular was made by Z. H.
Calvin of Alameda in 1891. 1t bears the
date of January %, 1891, and to dlspel all
doubt as TO where it was printed the firm
name of H. S. Crocker & Co. appears on
the margin.
The Craven people are confident that
they can bowl the case against Cooney out
of court without any effort. Assuming
that the prosecution rests Its case entirely
on the defects in the Cooney acknowledge
ments, by which the prosecution will seek
to i4entity the date of their printing with
the issue by Crocker in January, 1896,
they have in Iebuttal proofs of blanks
printed by the same firm previous to 1890
and containing similar evidence of bat
tered stereotype.
According to the story of Crocker's en-
ployes the issue of 10000 forms was
printed on two forms to save time. Both
impress ons were made from type. In
one the type was battered according to
the police witnes ,es, but the Craven
people are asking why if there was such
haste in the matter a stereotype was not
made and thus the correct forms would
have been assured
The presence OF Captain Lees in the
case as led many to inquire why if he
believes Cooney is in the conspiracy he
does not arrest Mrs Craven and others
connected with the pencil deeds.
This matter will probably furnish some
interesting testimony when Cooney' S,
lawyers begin his defense.
The deed that the Fair people say has
disappeared is dated in November. 1894,
two months later than the pencil deeds.
1t was acknowledged by Cooney on form
having his name printed upon it. Its
bearing on the case is indirect. The heirs
have been looking over Cooney's records,
and they say that as far as they can dis
cover Cooney used forms with his name
printed on in almost every instance. They
argue from this that i! is peculiar that in
Mrs. Crayen's case blank form could be
used. The presence Of COoney's office
certificate on deed made later than the
Craven documents would be evidence to
them that Cooney was not out of material
with his name printed on it when it is
claimed Fair called at his Office on Jan
uary 27, 1894.
The Fair people intimate that John G
Barker, who has already been mentioned
in the case as a friend of Cooney's, knows
something about the disappearance of the
document. Barker, who is a son-in-law of
Mrs. johnson of the Colonial Hotel, has
an excellent reputation and the Craven
attorneys say the attempt of their
opponents to bring his name into the
case is sort of bogie man move in the abb
sence of some legitimate excuse to fight in
the open.
The case against Cooney will be res sumed
before Magistrate Carroll Cook to- orrow
morning

A NURSE Who
WAS PAID WELL
She Secured $1,000 for Less
Than a Months
Services.
Eliza WaIdeck, Attendant of the
Late Henry Becker, Sued for
a Large Sum.
Otto Burmeister, Executor of the Dead
Mans Will, Demands ReStitu-
tion of Property.

Otto Burmeister, as executor of the will
of Henry Becker, deceased, has filed suit
against Mrs. Eliza WaIdeck. who is also
known as Eliza Becker, for the recovery
OF $1,000 and lot on Oak Grove avenue,
near Harrison street, 25x112 feet in size,
said to be worth $1,000.
According 10 the complaint Mrs. Becker
took advantage of her position as nurse
to induce her patient first to marry her
and subsequently to convey to her all his
property, which is estima ted to be worth
about $1,000.
1t Is alleged that on or about October
%, 1896, Eliza Waldeck met Henry Becker
for the first time; that before that they
were unacquainted and unknown to each
other; that on the day named she was EN-
ployed to act as his nurse; that owing to
his infirmities and weakness he was de-
pendent on her from the moment OF her
installment as his nurse to The day of his
DEATH that in consequence she had the
absolute control and mastery over him
from that time 10 his death.
1t is further alleged that Immediately
after becoming his nurse the defendant
formed the design OF securing to herself
all the property belonging 10 the dead
man, ana OF ueprlV1ng MS creultOrS ana
his heirs of their rightful share of the
same.
An explanation is offered that with this
intent she informed him that she was un
married and that the persons pamed in
his will old not care for him, and 10 pre-
vent them from disproving this statement
she excluded all friends and acquaint-
ances from his presence, thus preventing
them from having any conversations with
him.
All of these presentations, it is said by
the plaintiff were false, and by reason of
these untrue statements she induced him
to marry her on the 31st of October, three
days after she was employed as his nurse.
Five days after that he decided his real es-
tate TO her and transferred to her posses
sion all OF his cash.
Becker lived less than three weeks after
giving his property to his new.made wife.
He left a will which provided that his
property should go to his relatives, ana
that Mr.. Burmeister should act as execu-
tor. In view of these circumstance and
considering the allegation that Becker was
physically and mentally weak and under
the domination of his nurse, judgment of
the court is asked to compel her to refund
abe cash and to reconvey to Mr.. Burmeis-
ter, for the benefit of his heirs and lega-
tees under the will, as no other property
belonging to the testator can be found.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-24

"The appr&isement of the Fair estate
will require careful study and special
knowled ge and skill" said G. L. Bresse of
the firm of L. G Bresse & Co. to CALL
reporter yesterday at his Office, 412 Pine
street. There are two other appraisers,
Ernest A. Leigh and Richard V. Dey, men
CT wide experience and the highest stand
ing.
The estate has largely i'm proved its
north end property, and | have great faith
in the future of that section. The pro-
iected boulevard through Lom bard street
10 the Presidio, with its superb marine
view, will make magnificent park, while
the order and discipline enforced will ex-
clude the Objectionable element, making
it most desirable for residence purposes.
I'VE find" he con ntinued, that money
is freer and our firm has made recent sales
for investors who take advan tage of the
low figures to secure bargains. We have
added special lines to our business, which
now includes making loans on real estate
and securities, auctioneering, the handling
of large properties, house-renting and
collections for residents and non-resldents,
as we'll as placing insurance, advising in
vestments and the exchange OF City and
country property"
In answer to query Mr.. Bresse said:
Yes, there is certainly mining revival,
in which we take great interest, espe-
cially in Amador, Ell Dorado and
Tuolumne counties. New processes make
profitable the working of iow-grade ores
and claims once abandoned.
Mr.. Bresse has shown ,commendabe
public spirit in his support of the work of
improvement clubs, especially along lines
that may become business streets. AL
though never aspiring to public office he
takes keen interest in municipal affairs.
He is a strong advocate OF reforms in City
government, and during the recent cleo
ton his influence was felt on the SIDE of
good government.
