THE GOLDEN CROSS
Counsel From the North Get Knocked
Out in Court


A veritable galaxy of legal talent lined
up in department four yesterday be-
fore Judge Van Dyke, when the suit of
the Golden Cross Mining and Milling
company against James Spiers Ell al. was
called. Jefferson Chandler and Sam
Shortridge, both Of San Francisco,
came down south to reinforce Frank
Flint, and all represented the
plaintiff corporation. For the defend
ants Senator Stephen M. White, w. l.
Hunsake, and Graves, O'Melveny
and Shanklin appeared as attorneys of
record.
The case came up on motion Of plain
tiff to vacate Judgment entered some
time ago by stipulation, on the ground
that the judgment as entered was in
excess Of the stipulation. After entry
of the judgment an appeal was taken,
and much argument was used yesterday
to show the court that that ought not
to be bar to granting the equitable re-
lief demanded. For some hours the
matter was argued pro and con, and
then the court denied the motion.
Fundamentally, the point in dispute
was whether the mining properties of
the company, situated in San Diego
county, with the machinery and plant
are worth $2,000,OOO or only half mil
lion. The corporation alleges that the
properties are worth the larger amount,
but defendants contend for the smaller

first thought about asking you not to
tell anybody"
"Yes, SIR"
Anything else, now? Better let 1t all
go, because your conscience will hurt
you if you don't"
Il asked him, Did you see Mrs Pyle
after the funeral? and he said, Yes:
met her on the street, and said, How
does she feel about the death of Pyle?
and he said, She is tickled to death
over it,"
SOME EXPERT WITNESSES
DR.. G. A. Bryant was next put forward
by the prosecution to prove the impos-
sibility Of chloroforming a man lying
asleep in room by introducing the drug
through window Witness thought it
would take pound bottle of chloroform
thrown through the window, to affect a
person, and then it would only cause
headache. Furthermore, witness stated
that many authorities contend that a
sleeping person could not be chloro-
formed.
On cross examination Mr.. Davis pro-
duced Taylor's medical Jurisprudence,
which witness conceded was standard
authority, to prove that the drugging Of
people by chloroform while they lay
asleep had been repeatedly shown. Wit.
ness took issue with the authority quot
ed, that chloroform, operating through
the lungs, had killed more people than
any other drug.
DR.. M. L. Moore gave 1t as his opinion
that in room 12x12 chlproform thrown
| through the window would cause a
| sleeping person to arouse to conscious
| ness if persisted in.
Inc witness on cross-examina tioa
stated that if the drug was carefully ad-
mlnistered to sleeping person it might
anaesthetize such one, and such a
thing he knew had been done. He diff
fered from the authority quoted by Mr..
Davis. but stated that he did not pro-
TESS to be infallible. Witness stated that
| it would not be possible to charge the
atmosphere of room with Az per cent
OF chloroform vapor, because the latter
being so heavy would sink to the lower
part Of the room. Above that person
, might have headache and that would
be ALL person sleeping on the floor
might be AFFECTED more strongly.
| ANOTHER DAB AT THE WOMAN
Mrs. Krishbaum Of Fillmore testified
along the same line as her husband, Civ
en- in the morning, with regard to the
defendants intimacy with Mrs. Pyle.
She stated that she saw McCamish visit
the Pyle house several times in the week.
riding on his mule. The day he return
ed from Bakersfield he walked out about
9 o'clock and remained less than an hour.
Witness remembered on one occasion
coming with the baby in front of him en-
the mule. Mr.. Pyle was not there on
the several occasions when witness saw
defendant visit his house.
| On cross-examination witness said she
knew nothing about the case beyond see
] ing the defendant visit the house in the
| absence of Mr.. Pyle. She denied that
Mrs. Dallson Lineberger was the only
one who had told her about the mat

of John Burns, Jr. Blair plead guilty,
and was bound over to await the action
of the December term of the superior
court, surety in 5000 being furnished
The value of the stolen goods amounted
to about $27. and the case was there
fore beyond the jurisdiction of the
municipal court. 1t seems that the
watch. chain and charm were stolen
from Mr.. Burns store, on one day in
July, but were not missed until three
days later. The officers have since been
on the lookout for traces of the stolen
property, but no tangible clue was OBJ
tanned until Wednesday evening, when
Blair was seen to display a watch
closely resembling the stolen time
piece. Later investigation resulted in
the recovery of that same, and, Thurs
day. the confession of the theft, by the
aforesaid Mr.. Blair.
