A SOFT SNAP
An Ex-Deputy in the County Clerks
Office Has a Scheme

A very interesting point and one OF
great Importance to the county was de-
cided by Judge Allen yesterday in the
case of Stuart VS.. County Clerk NeWlin.
The plaintiff sought to obtain writ
of mandate compelling the county clerk
to pay as rebate the sum of S1.70, five
years overdue.
About five years ago, in the case OF
Lemon VS.. Stuart, the surs of of $40
was deposited with the county clerk,
under the rules of the old fee bill. to
cover costs. When the case went to
Judgment there was S1.70 unexpended
due to the depositor as rebate, but it
was never claimed. The reason that
now, after this long lapse of time,
claim is put in for the rebate Is rather
interesting. For a long series of years
A. w. Seaver was an attache OF the
county clerks office, and consequently
knew all about these unclaimed rebates
When his connection as g servant OF the
county ceased the happy idea occurred
to him to make a list of all rebates and
then proffer his services to the several
attorneys in making collection. MI
Seaver did this. He went back as far
as 1880 and dug up in the records all the
old cases wherein there remained I'M
earned costs. With this detailed state
ment in his possession he approached
the attorneys in the cases and offered to
make collections of these rebates for
so per cent Of the several amounts. Quite
a large number of attorneys agreed to
this, but a number of the more con-
servatively inclined refused to be
party to any such raid upon the county
treasury.
The applications for these old rebates
poured in upon the county clerk, and
by direction of the board of supervisors
they were for time paid. When it de-
veloped. howevr, that these rebate
caims-many of them mouldy with dust
were being pressed systematically,
the board of supervisors rescinded its
order and Clerk Newlin refused to pay
out any more rebates.
These moneys are confessedly not
rightly belonging to the county, and
so, in order to continue what was de-
llghtfully soft snap for Mr.. Seaver, one
of the parties in the old case Of Lemon
vs. Stuart was hunted up, and the suit
decided yesterday begun against Mr..
Newlin.
Under the law the county clerk turns
all moneys into the county treasury at
the end of each month, and the treas
urer has no authority to pay out save
on warrants properly drawn. This be-
ing so, Judge Allen gave judgment in
favor of the county clerk, for while the
rebates may not belong properly to the
county, after passing into the county
treasury he Is not the proper person to
apply to for a refund. How these old
amounts can be repaid is moot point,
possibly not without special legislation.
The matter, too, Is further complicated
by the fact that in the first instance
the board of supervisors ordered the
county clerk to make payments, and
some thousands of dollars were thus
disbursed. Under Judge Aliens de-
cision, the board must have been In
error. Whether there will be any COM
plications arising from such action re-
mains to be seen.

MRS. MARTIN SCORES
She Has Had Heap of Trouble, But
the Case Was Dismissed

Mrs. NJ L. Martin, who, with her lady
friend, attained some notoriety during
the trial of "Dr." Hastings by teStifying
that he had confessed deliberately to
being engaged in unlawful professional
practice, was up in Department one
yesterday.
About the time Mrs. Martin was testi
fying as a witness in the Hastings case
she was figuring more prominently in
the police court. She then appeared as
the prosecuting witness against three
Young girls, Clara and Grace Young and
Kittie Cooney, who were charged before
Justice Owens with having disturbed
Mrs. Martins peace by throwing into
the backyard of her premises at zoo
Philadelphia street, stones, water and
and old tin pail. Mrs. Martin swore to
having seen them committing the I'M
lawful act, and in consequence of the
testimony she then gave she subjected
herself to a prosecution for perjury.
Her trial on that charge has been post
poned from time to time, and yester-
day the bottom fell out of the prosecu-
ton altogether.
Mrs. Martin appeared in court radi-
antly attired, but with the old-time look
of aggressiveness on her face accent
uated rather than subdued by the spec
tacles she wore. With her was her sis
ter, a very pretty girl, not apparently
yet out of her teens.
Deputy District Attorney McComas
said that after conference with the
fathers of the three girls he found that
the latter had forgotten many of the es-
sental details of the case, and that
furthermore the testimony taken at the
examination did not obliterate that
reasonable doubt with regard to Mrs.
Martins being honestly mistaken with
regard to the facts she had sworn to.
Under such circumstances the district
attorney did not consider it wise to pro-
coed with the trial, and moved that it be
dismissed. 1t was so ordered and Mrs.
Martin, after tipping the wink" to
her sister, sailed out of court, with her
sister following, and Col. J. Marion
Brooks, her counsel, bringing up the
rear.

Saturday be rescnded and the appeal
be allowed to be taken. The motion was
denied and as the case now stands

the testimony that developed in Judge

This badly assorted couple conduct a

Mr.. Riethmuller opened up THE Rival
near Third street on Broadway.
1t was shown that about three months
after their marriage the cruelties com
planned of began and from thence on for
about eight years continued with more
or less frequency. Mrs. Riethmuller is
quite q handsome woman and speaks
with the very slightest touch of the
brogue. She testified that while trav-
cling with her husband in France he
frequently abused her, but things
reached a climax while they We're at
Marseilles. In a restaurant one day
he desired her to partake of those edible
snails which delight the heart of the

longed to the latter class and her hus-
band was so disguised at her lack of
appreciation of the delicacy that he

@I,a
Dublin, the native place of Mrs. Rieth-
muller, there was another terrible up
set because the wife very naturally de-
sired to visit her relatives and friends
in the adjacent country and the hus-
band would not consent. At New York
matters reached such acute stage that
Mrs. Riethmuler was compelled to
leave the hotel where her husband was
staying.
Truth to tell, Mr.. Riethmuller was
open and above board in one thing-he
told his wife he had no love for her and
that he regretted he had not married a
Frenchwoman. Last year his wife was
about to have an operation performed
and for fear of fatal result she made
a visit to her old home in Dublin. Be
fore leaving Los Angeles she gave a
farewell dinner which eliminated in
her husbands getting beastly drunk, an
unpleasantness that was without ex-
cuse.
The property interests involved were
quite large but were arranged by stip-
ulation outside of court. At the time of
the marriage Mr.. Riethmuller. it was
claimed, had no money, but by rigid
economy and business ability on the
part Of the wife very profitable bust
ness was established and some valuable
property obtained.
The decree asked for was granted and
the custody of the eight-year-old boy
given to the mother.
