Yesterday was the day to which continu-
ance had been taken of the sentencing Of
Harry F. Clark for the murder of Wong
Sing Hay, the Chinese laundryman, and for
the hearing of the motion for setting aside
the verdict and granting the defendant 4
new trial.
When the cause was called Mr.. Shinn,
Clark's attorney, called the attention of the
court to a voluminous transcript of the
evidence taken at the preliminary eXamina-
tion of Joseph Hunter for the same Of
femse This, he said, comprised over 400
pages of typewriter matter and had been
filed only that morning. de asked week 8
continuance in order to shorten the time re-
quired in court in arguing the motion for 4
new trial, it being necessary and desirable
both for the prosecution and for the defense
that the evidence as transcribed should be
examined before undertaking such argu-
ment.
Deputy District Attorney McC con-
sented to the continuance and accordingly
the cause was continued until next Tuesday.
December 9th, for further hearing.
In this connection it may be stated that

HOMER DAVENPORT
The Great Cartoonist Arrives in This
CitV

Homer Davenport is in the city on
his way east to rejoin the stall
OF the New York Journal Mr.. Daven-
port has in the past few years arrived
at the distinction of being the most prom
inent caricaturist in the land. His work is
of the biting. acrid order, devoid of gentle
humor and without much quality Of wit, but
is so intensely accurate in bringing to the
fore the grosser and grotesque features OF
lis victims as to deservedly give him the
high rank he now occupies in the newspaper
and artistic world. His way has been made
by force of sheer determination and conf
dence in himself, overcoming obstacles and
which would have de
stroyed any less heartful man.
His first appearance before the world was
when he joined the Examiner in 1892, but it
was some time after that before he had an
opportunity to show what he could do. Even
then Mr. Hearst was slow to see what treas
IRE he had, for he allowed him to leave the
paper and work on the Chronicle and then on
a Chicago paper before he put the right esti-
mate on his services.
He is man of most attractive, even sweet,
characteristics, overflowing with amiability
and ioyeusness. He will remain here for
some days He has achieved competency
and enjoys it. Not the least Of his pleasure,
it may be hoped, will be found in his rest in
this southland

MORTGAGES SHUFFLED
Priority of Lien Held to Have Been
Fraudulently Secured

Judge Shaw yesterday delivered an opin-
ion in the case of A. NJ. Osburn against c.
L. Roper and others. The contest in this
case was in regard to the priority of the
plaintiffs mortgage over another mortgage
executed by the defendant Roper, to the
defendant, Harriet Lee. The mortgage to
plaintiff was dated April g. 1896, and was
on the same day signed and acknowledged
by Roper, but it was not delivered to Os-
burn until April 10, 1885, nor recorded
until April IS, 1896
The Lee mortgage bears the date of March
81, 1896, and appears to have been signed
and acknowledged on that day and was re
corded on April l3, 1896. Upon the face OF
the record the mortgage to Lee is para
mount
To defeat this apparent priority, the plain
tiff alleged fraud, He claims that the mort
cages were both given to obtain a release
OF a mortgage on certain lands in Oregon,
previously given by Roper to Osburn, in
which the defendant, +. J. Frazier had an
equitable interest; that Frazier had trans
fcrred his interest to Harriet Lee as his
trustee to hold for his use and subject to his
control and disposition; that Frazier nego-
tiated the trade, in pursuance of which the
mortgage on the Oregon lands was released
and the two mortgages in controversy here
executed; that the agreement was that Os-
burn should have u first mortgage on the
Los Angeles lot to the amount of about
so per cent of his interest in the Oregon
mortgage ard that Lee should take a second
mortgage on the same lot for her entire
claim; that Frazier flaudulently procured
the execution of the Lee mortgage, concealed
the TACT OF such execution from Osburn. in
duced Osburn to take his mortgage by rep
resenting that it was first mortgage and
caused the Lee mortgage to be first recorded
all for the purpose Of securing priority over
osburn, contrary to agreement.
Judge Shaw says there is 10 doubt that
the allegations of the plaintiff are true He
holds that the chief controversy is over the
question whether or not Frazier is the real
owner OF the Lee mortgage and Harriet Lee
merely his agent, for the purpose of making
Ii appear not to be his property and of ena-
Ding her to appear as an innocent party to
the transaction. This question the court
thinks should be answered in the affirmative.
In support OF such opinion, he says:
''Frazier's method of testifying was such
as to show that he was utterly unworthy of
belief. The letter Of instruction concerning
he matter. which he claims to have received
rom Harriet Lee. was manfestlv composed
oy him after thg dispute arose. The language
and form OF expression are his, and the let

mo satisfactory account of the considera-
ton for the transfer to Harriet Lee of
Frazier's interest in the Oregon mortgage,
nor of the origin of Frazier's indebtedness
to her is given, and from these and many
other circumstances appearing in the evil

ness was entirely fictitious and that the
transfer was a mere form to cover and con-
ceal Frazier's property"
In accordance with such opinion, the court
orders decree giving plaintiff priority over
the claims of the defendants and for the
foreclosure of his mortgage.
