BRADLEY IN COURT
Governor Smiths Assai1ant at the
Bar of Justice

Arthur G. Bradley, the old veteran who
shot Governor Smith of the Soldiers home
at Santa Monica a few weeks ago, was
brought before Judge Smith yesterday to
plead to the information charging him with
assault with intent to commit murder. He
came forward to the bar alone.
''Have you no attorney" asked the Judge.
eyes. sir" responded Bradley, George
Fl. Matlnger has consented to defend me.
He is not here today. l understood that he
was going to Santa Monica"
Deputy District Attorney McComas sug-
gested that Matlinger would probably be
back today, and Bradley's arraignment to
plead was continued until this morning at
10 o'clock, at which time he will doubtless
enter plea of not guilty.
At the bar yesterday Bradley was calm
and collected in his demeanor, ''as mild a
hammered man as ever scuttled ship or cut
throat" No one would think of picking
him out of crowd as one disposed to do an
other bodily injury; certainly not as one of
murderous inclination. Plainly attired,
quiet in behavior he was one of the last per-
sons in the court room who would be
suspected of wrong doing. He was taken
back to Jail by the deputy sheriff and locked
up. He has nothing to say regarding his at
tempted crime or impending prosecution.
The herald., 1898-11-05

paneled in Judge Smiths own room, the
evidence for the people taken in Judge Van
Dykes and that for the defense in Judge
Clark's. Whether these various moves
tangled up the defense or not is open to
conjecture, but the chances seem favorable
to that view of the case, for Mann was
found guilty as charged.
The court was quite vigorous in denuncia-
tion of the noise to which all had been sub
jected in his room during the Clark trial
by reason q the ''boiler factory" under the
windows, and was fairly routed out yester-
day, it seeming to be impracticabe to abate
the nuisance. 1t is not likely the annoyance
will be much longer continued, as the new
elevator is approaching completion. 1t will
be a great convenience when done and will
have a larger carrying capacity than any
other in the city. Being built of iron, though
outside the building, it will not greatly OBJ
struct the view, there being so many open
spaces. 1t has been the subject of some
criticism, however, many thinking that 1t
would have been more expedient to tunnel
further under the court house to the eX-
isting shaft Had this been done and a
new elevator put in of swifter motion, it
would not have injured the outside contour
of the building, and, however useful the new
one may be, there is no denying the fact that
it is not ornamental. 1t directs attention
to an architectural defect which might have
been otherwise obviated

SOME CORRESPONDENCE
Further Details in the Calls Exposure
of Sherman and Mcdonald

| The correspondence of Frank Mcdonald
| forms the chief feature of the third chapter
in the San Francisco Calls exposure of the
banking career of the McDonalds at San
| Francisco. In August, 1892, Frank Melon
/ aid was in New York. The affairs of the
Pacific bank were already i'll bad condition
and its hackers were casting about for a
means to relieve the strain. To this end
Frank opened in New York the California
Investment agency, which was to handle
the alleged worthless securities of the Pacific
bank. In a letter written to r. HI. McDon-
old Jr., August 8, 1892, Frank says:
I'VE are trying to get our investment
agency plan into shape, and intend to try
to convert as much possible into money.
| have made up quite list of things with
Dyer and myself and l have put in little
Pacific bank stock and Peoples Home and
other things to make as characterful list as
possible. How we shall succeed, goodness
knows, but this is the place to make good
trial
Here is a sample of one of the Mcdonald
schemes. Frank in letter to Dick had pro-
posed to place section of the Mohawk
land on the market as an orange grove. He
said:
thing | ever saw in attractiveness, and the
best of it is, it's true. If we can only get
this thing started, it will be mint to roll
money in to you, and then we hold on to
much of it for so long, and it will all be un-
der our control. We call the company the
Mohawk Valley Orange Grove and Fruit
company We sell 6400 shares at 800
share, yielding S64O, 900, allowing 10 per cent
for commissions, ETC., in starting, leaving
$4,000, the money all to go into the Pacific
bank
"Confdentially, Edminster, you and I
each to get $40, 900 out of it at the end of
seven years, each year $4,000 apiece to be set
aside for that purpose The Pacific bank to
get $4,000 and the other trustee 5000 and
the Mohawk Canal and Improvement COM
pany about $4,000.
In letter dated August 81, 1892, Frank
denounces Gen. NJ. H. Sherman in the most
severe terms, but he adds: But we also
know that his name and means are more or
less tied up and compromised i'll these mat
ters, and it is greatly to his interest to pull
them out if he can.
1--WE also know the man has considerable
property in one form and another and con-
siderable more prospective wealth. You
know he has certain connections and influ
ences that ought to be of material aid in
working out these problems. And | think
we must admit that we shall be stronger
with him in our camp than with him fight
ing us. Such being the case, the thing to
do is to make him work, raise money and
carry all the load possible without calling on
us in any way. And whenever you do any
thing for him make him pay well for it"

MANN CONVICTED
Found Guilty of Resisting San Pedro
Constable

The trial of David Mann was held yester-
day before Judge Smith and jury. Mann
was charged with having resisted Deputy
Constable j. H. Imam when the officer was
attempting to make an arrest at San Pedro
The evidence disclosed the fact that Imam
was trying to round up prisoner at Happy
Valley the Five Points of San Pedro. and
Mann and several OF his lawless companions
came to the prisoners assistance. Mann
knocked the officer down, striking him in the
face and between his various assailants
Imam got pretty well beaten. The trouble
occurred on Sept. 9TH, and Mann has been
in Jail for some time awaiting trial
On the stand the defendant swore that
he witnessed the commencement of the
fracas, but said he did not take part in it
or remain in the vicinity long. Going back
to a saloon in the neighborhood, he was g-
norant of what transpired during the row.
Other witnesses swore directly that he was
mixed up in the fight, and one testified
that Mann had Dragged about it after
wards.
1t took the jury but short time to find
verdict of guilty as charged, and fixing the
penalty at sixty days in Jail with fine OF 81.

Judge Shaw yesterday delivered writ

terposed by the defendants. The plaintiff
as creditor of the Nivienda Water com

ago. 1t was alleged that the conveyances
to the defendants were without considera.
ton and were made to distribute its prop

delay and detraud the plaintiff and other
creditors OF the corporation. Suit wa,
brought to compel defendants to disclose
the property received by them from the
corporation and that all such property
should be adjudeed liable to sale to pay

Judge Shaw holds that the complaint is

ulent conveyances, but as plaintiff disavows
such intention in bringing suit and saws it
was designed to set up a cause of action to
reach property which had been conveyed to
the stockholders before the corporation
debts We're paid, the question presented was
whether trading corporation has power to
distribute all of its property to its stock
holders without consideration and thereby
divest itself of all interest therein. so that
future creditors cannot resort to such prop.
erty for the satisfaction of their debts. and
whether or not. in case such transfer is made
the property is not held by the stockholder.

creditors which a court Of equity will en-.
force by decree, Judge Shaw holds that the
stockholders have no right to anything but
the residuum of the capital stock after pay
ment of all corporate debts, and on that
account overrules the demurrer.
