that to you?' / asked. You know, Mr.
Sheehan, that the attachment follows the
stock Sheehan told me TO come back in
a couple of hours"
When Livernash returned, he found q
condition of affairs he had not antici-
pated. Sneehan had communicated with
his attorney, ]. A. Watt. and the latter
had at once caused an execution to be
issued on Livernash's stock This of
course tied the lawyers hands Similar
tactics were adopted with the remainder
of the stock held by Livernash. Sheehan
refused to recognize the bill-of-sale
transactions. Watt instituted attach
ment proceedings against Frank Nc
Donald interest, and when election day
rolled around he and Sheehan saw to it
that board of directors was elected of
their own choice.
THAT is the history" said Llvernash.
chow the depositors failed to vote 1900
shares of stock at that meeting-enough
to have given them control OF the bank.
But that was not all. Sheehan played
his game well. Mrs. Matte Rickard, q
sister-in-law of Dick Mcdonald, con-
trolled $50 shares of the stock, and this
she was about to transfer to Livernash for
the benefit of the depositors, but Watt S
ingenuity frustrated this. He paid Mrs.
Richard $500 for her stock the night before
the election and it went to swell the Shee-
han pool.
Livernash's recital acted like bomb In
the Hebbard camp. Attorney Kahn i'm
diately made piteous plea for time. He
was not ready 10 proceed with cross.ex-
animation until he had consulted with
Mr.. Sheehan.
This is all new matter to u.s." said
Kahn, and the crowded courtroom smiled.
1--WE never knew of it before. Judge Heb
bard never heard this before. Wewant to
have talk with Mr.. Sheehan," and Kahn
began to protest Historically.
Judge Daingerheld asked if the Shee han
Watt manipulations were going to be con-
nected with Judge Hebbard.
Yes" answered Attorney Shortridge

men"
"Can you prove that?" again queried
the court.

MR.. JEWETT'S CONDITION.

When Last Heard From He Was Lying
Unconscious in Chihuahua.
There are no hopeful tidings from the
bedside of Thomas M. Jewett, who has
been clerk in the Office of the United States
Attorney for the past forty years.
DR.. Rivas, his brother-in-law. received a
letter from Chihuahus, Mexico. yesterday,
dated April 80, stating that Mr.. Jewett
had been seized with paralytic stroke at
that place, and that he was lying uncon-
scious.
A telegram dated May l announced that
the physicians in attendance had found
that he was suffering from brain trouble,
and that they saw no hope for his recovery.
Mrs Jewett, wife of the sick man, left
the City as soon as she received the tele-
gram, and was due to arrive at Chihuahua
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Jewett had been ailing for long
time from overwork and too close confine-
menC to the duties of his office. Last fall
he was taken with q paraytic stroke in
the corridor of the Federal building IN
this City and mporarily lost the use of
one of his legs. He was removed to his
home in hack, and with good nursing
recovered, but it was deemed prudent that
he should take vacation, and he went to
chihuahua to spend few mon his with
his brother, who is Judge at that place.

A PROPERTY DEAL.

A. W. Mass and Wife Arrested for
Obtaining Money by Frand.
A. w. Mass and his wife, Sarah Mass,
living on Dale place, were arrested last
night on a warrant charging them with
unlawfully obtaining money by false and
fraudulent representations.
The complaining witness is E. Cadenasso,
512 Montgomery street, who alleges that
on March s Mass and his wife obtained
5000 from him as part payment on the
purchase of property at 1909 Steiner street.
which they alleged belonged to them.
Cadenasso afterward found that the prop
erty belonged to Mrs. Mary Finey.
Attorney Ross who represents Caden-
asso, says that E. S. Vonnelli, 319 Powell
street, and Henry Martin. Pacific and
Davis streets, were also victimized by
Mass and his wife, the former to the ex-
tent of 500 and the latter 5000. In both
cases, however, part of the money was re-
turned.

Mccarthy declared that Sheehan had
caused statements and interviews to be
| published undertaking. the banks assets.
lie recalled that tract of $1,000 acres on
the Carissa plains was declared by Shee-
han 10 be not worth over $4,000 A capt.
| talist had offered. but few days before,
1000 for the same property. The land
generally was worth from So to $40 per
acre. Sheehan had also attempted to
bear" the price OF the stock of the Los
Angeles Electric Railway.
"4 our com plaint was that these under
valuations tended to cause the deposItor.
to sell their bankbooks at big discount? ?"
asked Attorney Shortridge.
Kahn was strenuously opposed TO Pile
answering this pointed question.
ut is asserted" continued Mr.. Short
ridge, that he undervalued this property
! to the end that the depositors might come
in and sell their bankbooks at a sacri-
flee"
Judge Daingerfeld could not see that
SUCH an action tended to reduce the funds
of the bank.
I'VE simply wish to show" Continued
Mr.. Shortridge, that Sheehan sneaked
out as best he could; that he was a bitter
partisan; that he went through the a.
sets of the bank like Bashi- Bazouk. and
we wish also to show that Judge Hebbard
knew of it..

culars to the depositors for the purpose of
securing signatures to a roll to retain HIM
in office was tender spot for the Heb

| then made an effort 10 interview the de-
positors in their own behalf, with view
TO having them sign another roll The
com mittee proposed to take seats in side
the doors OF the bank, but Sheehan
would not have it this way.
In fact, Hebbard's side partner even
went SO far as to invoke the aid of the
police to prevent the mem bers of the COM
mittee from even standing on the side
walk at the entrance to the bank. As in
the Fair case, the police authorities
seemed very anxious to distinguish them
eyed interests of a civil litigation.

said: "Go on with the cross-examina-

said: "Go on with the cross-e1amina-
ton"
1--WE don't know how" said Kahn, be-
seemingly. 1--WE must wait until we see
Mr. Sheehan."
Kahn continued in this vein. He was
indignant and fearful by turns. A dozen
times he rushed excitedly to Judge Heb
bard for advice, but the client see med al
mos. as much disconnected al the lawyer.
Judge Daing ertield decided to give them
time to recover their scattered senses, and
Livernash's cross-examination was post
poned.
The morning session was devoted to q
recital by T. ii. Mccarthy, chairman OF
the depositors' committee, of Sheehan's
efforts to "hear" the assets Of the bank
during bis receivership. This was OF
course but paving the way for the intro
duction by Attorney Shortridge of the
resolutions adopted by the deposit ors in
June, 1894, condemning Sheehan's receiv-
ershp and asking Judge Hebbard to
remove him.
