man to obtain evidence to convict against
The inability of poor man to OBTAIN evil
dence to defend himself. 1 was contrast
ing the power of the one with the weak
ness of the other" said the lawyer. Judge
Cook said possibly he had misunderstood
the lawyers argument, and good feeling
returned.
Both Mrs. Craven and the special ad-
mlnistrators of the estate say they are
ready to proceed with the big civil suit
over the pencil deeds on Tuesday morning
before Judge Slack. 1t was rumored last
night that Magistrate Cooks decision re-
garding Cooney might be the means OF
postponing the other case. Mrs. Craven's
attorneys declare they are anxious and
willing to go to trial. The Fair people
are similarly emphatic in their assertions,
so it begins to look as if the famous suit
is finally to be court attraction. Specu-
1ation is rife concerning the time it will
take to hear the case The general belief
is that it will take three months TO hear
the evidence. as there are innumerable
witnesses who have never yet been heard

The Decision l. Tantamount to
Holding the Notary for
Trial.
Mrs. Craven AM the Fair Interests
Preparing for the Fight on the
Pencil Dee-s S.

The merits of the Cooney case are to 90
TO jury for final consideration. Judge
Carroll Cook rendered a decision yester-
day morning denying the motion made
two weeks ago by the attorneys FOR the
defense to dismiss the case for lack OF evil
dence. This is tantamount to holding the
young notary for trial before the Superior
Court on the charge OF perjury made some
time ago by Charles L. Fair. The burden
OF young Fairs complaint is that Cooney
swore falsely when he put his notarial
certificate to the famous pencil deeds OF
Mrs. Craven certifying that the dead mil
lionaire acknowledged the documents
before him on Septem Der 81, 1894
Both sides in the famous case were we'll
represented. Cooney's attorneys. Patrick
a. Ready, Judge S. C. benson and w. w.
Foote, had seats by the young mans side.

FIXING WATER RATES,

City and County Attorney CresweI
Gives the Supervisors an Opinion.
City and County Attorney Creswell
has addressed communication to the
Board of Supervisors Iative't to the fixing
of water rates. He finds that the law saws
they must be fixed in February of each
year, but they can be fixed later; though
in not fixing them in February the Super
ylsors are liable to punishment.
The conclusion of his communication is
as follows:
The authority then to fix the rates must
continue beyond the mouth of February, or
mandamus would not lie to compel the per
tormance OF that duty. The power of the
board does not lapse in consequence OF official
lnaction in the month of February. Though
the rates have not been fixed within the time
prescribed by the constitution, it is still the
duty OF the board to fix the rates, and if not
done voluntarily the board may be compelled
TO perform its duty by the mandate OF the
court. That which may be enforced by law
cannot be illegal if done voluut arily.

GR0tzINGER IS ANGRY.
The Justice of the Peace Will
Tell a Strange Story to
Judge Seawell.
He Claims That H Was Induced 10
Mistlke My Sien a Judgment
By Sharp Practice.

Justice of the Peace Groezinger will APP
pear before Judge Seawall Tuesday morn
ing in answer to writ of review petitioned
for by counsel for J. S. Reid in his suit as
assignee for NJ. Friedman & Co. against
Mrs. Pauline Selig. The proceedings will
be enlivened by Justice Groezinger's stale
ment concerning the facts in the case
The Justice says that the suit against
Mrs. Selig was to recover $147 alleged TO
be due for furniture purchased on the in
stallment plan. The testimony was that
Mrs. Selig had paid all but $22 80, but the
claim was made that as all the Install
ments had not been paid the furniture
must be returned also.
The Justice gave judgment for $50 80
only. The next day the Judgment was
handed to the Justice to sign. He was
busy, and supposing that the judgm ent
was for the amount he had named on the
bench he signed If. The defendant showed
him that he had signed judgment Tor
$147. Then he went to the clerk of the
court and had the judgment changed to
so 80. This brought about the petition
for writ OF review.
The judgment was rendered January 10
and wa changed on the following day
On the Goth of January Mrs. Seig paid
S29 40 and agreed to pay $22 so more with
In thirty -one days. This mas excited Jus
tice Groezinger's wrath, In view of the tes-
timony that Mrs. Selig had paid prior TO
the hearing before him all but $22 80 of
the face OF theclaim. The transactions
after the judgment are evidenced By the
following:
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 80 1897.
Received from MIS-. 2. Selig the sum of
500 40, with the express unders teudlug that
the receiving OF the said sum will not in any
manner affect my rights under the judgment
