Committee Of Council
Meets Mr.. CranStOn.
OVER A PENDING ACTION.
Brought Against City For Digging
Clay Near Beach.
THREE PERSONSWERE DROWNED

The committee on pending suits OF the City
Council. accompanied 10y City Solicitor Col
well, went to Pleasant Bluff this afternoon TO
call on George K. Cranston. II was not cx
actly an excursion, but the committee was
well entertained by the proprietor OF the
summer hotel that is a conspicuous object on
the bluff of the east side of the upper bay.
Mr. Cranston brought suit against the city n
long time ago for damages to his premises,
sustained about four years ago HIS claim is
for $3O, 900, and the committee made the visit
this afternoon 10 see about il.
During the administration of John A. Cole
man as commissioners Of public works. n lot of
clay was dug from the bed Of the river in
front of Mr. Cranstons hotel Enough clay
was removed to make great hole in the
beach. and in that hole three human lives
were sacrificed, twoy;iils and a nan. They
were bathers, and in their sport they waded
into the hole and were drownei.
These fatalities destroyed the usefulness of
the beach fer bathing purposes and TO cover
the loss sustained 10y digging the clay and
making the place dangerous to human life the
proprietor of the hotel wants $3C, go.
The clay taken from the river was used in
the work of patching the leaks In the Fruit
Hill reservoir, as III was 1ounu tspeclally
sdartci 10 that purpose. 1t was maintained
AT the time that the city had a perfect right
to the material, and although protest was
made the work of rem owing the clay was con
tnuel.
The danger Of making death trap in Sec
tion of the beach much frequented by bathers
unacquainted with the condition of the sur
face under the water led to discontnuance
of the clay taking, but Mr. Cranston brought
suit and il has been pending ever since.
An effort is 20 he mads to settle the matter
before resorting to an expensive trial That
is the reason for the presence of the commit

RADCLIFFE WAS
ACQUITTED.
Jury Found Him Not Guilty of
EmbeZZlement.
Claims III, Accusing Company Still Owes
II IN Money.

The trial OF the case of state VS.. John
4. Radcliffe for embezzlement. which
was concluded shortly after noon was
very closely contested trial. Franklin
u. owen, counsel for Radcliffe introduced
lot Of testimony yesterday afternoon to
show that mis- client had paid out money
for many things connected with the stores
of tho Union Pacific lea company of this
city of which he was the manager and
from which he was charged with having
en- beZ2led S22S.
This morning considerable more evil
dence was introduced To show the extent
Of Mir Radcliife's expenditures.
James q. Reilly testified that in ad-
dition to his salary of Sl5 aweek as sales
man Mr. Radcliffe paid him a commits
sion, varying from So to s. week, when
sales seemed To warrant 1t.
William Nj. Cotton. IA bookkeeper for a
local publishing concern, testified that
Mr.. Radcliffe had paid him large sums
for advertising.
Mr.. Radcliffe testified that the company
owed him 5000 still and he had given u
note for 500 to the company for a short
age in the stock on which he had paid
500 since IL was given soma three years
ago. There was also he admitted, an
other shortage of $500 with which the
Ddiaufb bl slHb NOUS sOoU.
In answer TO Attorney Owen, Radcliffe
claimed.the shortage WAS In one instance
only such rs resulted from a depreciation
in the value of stock, but I'm the other
$500 was money taken and IL was in this
latter case he had paid the 500.
Treasurer Pierce recalled, testified that
the note of $3.50 was given for only a
three months shortage. The $500 taken
in cash was the receipts of one day in the
company's stores. Radcliffe he claimed,
had simply failed to deposit the cash In
bank on Oct. "a, 1895.
Mr.. Owen, counsel for the defense,
made a long argument in which he care
fully argued on the differences between a
fraudulent taking of money under she
statutes. and the relation of dentor. At
tGrney General Stearns in his argument
dwelt on the charge in the Indictment,
which was the embeZzling of the
rent received from store the company
had leased and afterward sutlet To a mum
ber of tenants.
The jury after considering the testi
mony about half an hour returned with a
verdict Of not guilty. Mr.. Radcliffe
claims that there has been nothing wrong
in his relations with the company and
that II still owes him money instead of
his being IN any way indebted to It, The
shortages alleged he further maintains
were in no way due to any dishonesty
on his part but rather to the manner of
doing business by himself and the officers
of the company.
