CONTESTS THE WILL
A. C. brakes Claim That His Father
Was Unduly Influenced

Alfred c. Drake, a son of John c.
Drake, deceased, yesterday filed papers
contesting his fathers will. The elder
Drake died in this county on May 2Sth,
1897. but the petition for the probate OF
his will was not filed until February 1st
1898. He left $50 acres of land in North
Dakota, of the value of $4,000; in Oneida,
n. Y, 40 acres of land valued at $4,000,
and evidences of debt aggregating be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000.
The heirs of the deceased were the
contestant, a son by former marriage
Mrs. Estelle NJ. Drake, the widow, and
her minor children. He now alleges that
the paper purporting to have been his
fathers will was not such; that he never
signed his name to it, nor that the per-
sons alleged to have subscribed thereto
did so in effect.
Other allegations are to the effect that
John c. Drake was weak in body and
mind, as the result of a cancer of the
brain, and thus easily and unduly influ-
enced. Contestant claims that his step
mother and one Carl Robertson, whose
name appears on the will as one of the
subscribing witnesses, circulated false
and scandalous reports to the father
concerning his son, and told him that il
he willed anything to Alfred he would
soon have 1t dissipated, and that in con-
sequence the elder Drake disinherited
him.

TOOK A "sNIFTER"
Officer Fowler Gets Into Trouble Over
Drink Of Whisky

| A peculiar incident occurred in de-
partment one yesterday during the tria
of the Compton forgery case, one OF the
prosecuting witnesses, Police OHceI
Fowler, being called to account by Judge
Smith from the bench for having intro
duced whisky into the witness room.
The fact OF his having done so was
brought out by Attorney Shinn during
the examination of a man named Boyd
as a witness for the defense. The facts
in the case, as they are given by wit
neSses, are as follows:
Fowler, who is one of the principal
witnesses for the prosecution, while sit
ting in the witness room awaiting a call
to the stand was yesterday morning
taken ill with severe chill. His condi-
ton was apparent to those present, and
several remedies were suggested. Boyd
thought that a drink of whisky would
be the thing, and at Fowler's request
went out and brought in 25-cent bottle.
Fowler took drink and offered those
in the room some. Three refused, but
Boyd and another witness named
Hughes are said to have imbibed. Fow-
ler went home at noon too i'll to stay up
and called a physician.
When the facts as to the drinking of
the whisky became known in court
from Boyd's statements Judge Smith
expressed surprise at such an act and
cited Fowler to appear before him and
answer for contempt. The latter was
under the care of DR.. Hagan last night.
The physician stated that Fowler was
really ill, having had a severe chill fol-
lowed by high fever, which might de-
velop into serious illness.

STATUTE OF LIMITATION
An Attorneys Claim Disputed Because
of His Poor Legal Advice

A new trial has been ordered by the
supreme court in the suit of c. ]. Per-
kins VS.. the West Coast Lumber COM
pany, appealed from the county of San
Bernardino by the defendant.
c. ]. Perkins is an attorney-at-law.
who was the legal adviser of the lumber
company at monthly salary. When
the corporation owed him s1S79, and it
failed to settle the amount, Perkins sued
and recovered judgment. The company,
however, had put in counter-claim for
$9400 against it's attorneys demand on
the plea that it had been damaged to
that amount by reason of Perkins bad
legal advice in some prospective litiga-
tion.
Perkins instituted his action in 1890.
and the counter-claim was not pleaded
until three years and ten months later
He then set up that it was barred by the
statute of limitation, but the supreme
court holds that such was not the case
when the counter claim was filed, be-
cause that very filing at the time it was
done suspended the running of the stat
ute.

FOOL TECHNICALITIEs
"A Lawyer Who Denies Everything in
the Arthur Case

Charles H. Arthur, the Pasadena
blacksmith. who murdered Mrs. Melissa
Ransome on Spring street on the 25th Of
January last, has not yet entered his
plea in the superior court. At first he
was willing to let the law take its course
at once; now he wants the best legal
talent to defend him. In the meantime
he is struggling along with LAWYER w.
P. Hyatt as best he may, to have the in
formation accusing him of murder set
aside. Mr.. Hyatt yesterday filed doc
ument in support thereof, in which ev-
erything was taken advantage of that
had been brought forward by Durrant's 3
attorneys at the preliminary stage of his
battle for life, only to be knocked out
piecemeal, as ninepins are in a bowlins,
alley.
The attorney denies the jurisdiction of
the superior court to try Blacksmith
Arthur, because he was not indicted by
the grand jury, but informed against by
the district attorney; denies that the
district attorney has power to file an
fnformation; denies the Jurisdiction of
City Justice Morrison, on the ground

EMBEZZLED $3.50
That Is the Charge Preferred Against
Lawyer Hyatt

E. A. McCombs appeared yesterday af-
ternoon at the district attorneys Office
with a story that w. P. Hyatt, an attor-
ney, had collected $3.50 belonging to him
which he blew in, and he wanted war;
rant for his arrest.
Edward A.McCombs is a cement work
er of Jefferson street near Rosedale av-
enue. He claims that he entrusted the
collection of the sum of $3.50 in the hands
of Hyatt in October, 1897. The lawyer
obtained the money all right, but instead
of turning it over to McCombs he pu,
him off at various times with many spe-
cious stories. But the cement mans pa
tience became finally exhausted and he
is now satisfied that his money has beer
expended.
Justice Young issued warrant for the
arrest of Hyatt on the charge of felony
embezzlement, and it was given to Con
stable Yonkin for service.

HIS VISIT HEIGHTENED
MIR. TOWNE WILL EXTEND HIS
STAY IN CALIFORNIA
Alterations in His Itinerary-No More
Speeches but Little Time for
Sightseeing-The Reason

Hon. Charles A. Towne of Minnesota
has written Mr.. Nathan Cole, jr., re-
garding his trip to California, in which
| he states he fears greater demands are
likely to be made upon him for speeches
than he has time to spare, and urgently
requests his friends to consider his po-
sition in coming west. He expects to
put In nearly all of 1898 on the stump,
and the latter part of this year he knows
will be an arduous one for him. He
contemplates his trip to California be-
ing one of great good to the cause, and
has finally consented to deliver greater
number of addresses than he intended
when he consented to visit this state.
Mr.. Towne will deliver addresses in
the twelve places in California stated
in The Herald of yesterday. In his let
ter referred to, he announces that he
has decided to spend another week In
this state, in order to fully comply with
the wishes Of his friends, but absolutely
limits his speeches to the cities already
scheduled. The extension Of his stay has
caused change In the dates OF his ad-
dresses in several places. and Secretary
Cooper yesterday wired to all places af-
fected by the change and announced that
Mr.. Towne's itinerary will be as follows.
which corrects the itinerary published in
The Herald yesterday:
Mr.. Towne will speak In Los Angeles
at Hazards pavilion (as already an
nounced) on next Saturday evening,
February 18th.
His other engagements are:
Ventura, Monday, February 14th. at
1:30 p. m.
Santa Barbara. Monday, February
14th, at $3.50 p. m.
San Bernardino, Wednesday, Febru-
ary 18th.
Riverside, Thursday, February 18th.
San Diego, Saturday, February 10Th.
Santa Ana. Monday, February 21st.
Fresno. Wednesday February 23d.
Oakland, Friday, February 25th.
San Francisco Saturday, February
Goth.
Stockton, Monday. February 2Sth.
Sacramento, Tuesday. March 1st.
Wednesday morning. March I'd. he will
leave for Oregon, where he will make
several speeches; thence to Washing
ton, to fill like engagement.
Mr.. Towne desired that his itinerary
be so made up that he could have the
pleasure of seeing as much of the more
attractive portions of California as pos
sible during his stay in this state. Sec
retary Cooper has therefore arranged
his schedule so that he can spend an
extra day in Los Angeles, Santa Bar
bara, Riverside, San Diego and San
Francisco.
The local arrangements are progress
ing nicely, and rousing reception can
be counted on. The committee in charge
of the meeting will meet this noon at the
Silver Republican club to further the ar
rangements.

Barthelman's Appeal Is
Denied
The INSANITY PLEA SECUTED
THE SUPREME COURT UPHoLDs
JUDGE SMITH
The Objection to McComas' Closing
Address Annihilated-To
Be Resentenced

rne order denying John H. Barthel-
man. convicted of murder in the nrs'
degree. with the death penalty attached
a. new trial has been affirmed by the
supreme court, and the judgment OF the
superior court of this county must now
soon be executed.
The case. briefly reviewed. was as fol-
lows: Barthelman's wife had oeen oi-
vorced from him. He followed ner one
evening on the street, While sne was
going home with female frieno, ano
asked her to give up to him the CUSTODY
of their child. When she said NO, the
man drew a revolver and shot the un-
fortunate woman several times, lnnlct-
ing wounds from which she shortly a1t-
erwards died. The murder was cold
blooded and unprovoked, and the testi-
mopy adduced at the trial before Judge
Smith so proved it to be.
The only defense offered was insanity.
The appeal was mainly based upon the
refusal of the court to give certain in
structions to the jury. The supreme
court says that the court acted yer!
uroperly. Neither were the exceptions
taken by the QeIeHSc III lSSPSSt w ehN
allowance of non-expert testimony
maintainable.
With reference to some flights OF
rhetoric INDUCED in by Deputy District
Attorney McComas in his closing ad-
dress to the jury, which the defense In
its brief had stigmatized as misconduct,
the supreme court tersely says that
there is nothing in it," He merely used
well-known historical incidents to illus
trate his argument. And, moreover, the
court had told the jury that If counsel
for the people went beyond the evidence
or a rational discussion of it, that it was
their duty to disregard 1t.
The case, in the opinion of the court.
was fairly presented, and it sees no
legal reason to disturb the verdict or
to reverse judgment.
1t will now be the duty of the sheriff
to bring Barthelman back from San
Quentin for the purpose of having him
resentenced and the date of execution

CREEDE'S WILL
The Evidence Is All in and the Case
Taken Under Amusement

The taking of testimony was resumed
yesterday morning before Judge Clark
in the Creede will case. The contestants
introduced Ben Goodrich, an attorney
who testified that John T. Jones. the
attorney for the proponents of the will
had told him several days after Creede's
death that the trouble was that the
will was not signed. Jones had just re-
turned from San Francisco when he
made that statement.
William Phtfer, brotherin-law of
Creede's, married to his sister, swore
that he was at the house during the
entire week prior to July Z, 1897, the
date of the signing of the will, and
Creede was not there during that period
of time.
B. Gordan, the South Spring-street
tailor, related that some time after
Creede's death Phifer said to him that
he did not know whether his brother
in-law had left will or not. Witness
suggested that Phifer had better go to
an attorney, as Jones was then away
in San Francisco, and Mrs. Creede was
likely to cause trouble. Mr. Gordan
upon being interrogated upon the sub
ject, announced that Phifer had told
AtlolHey DdIhel, lHe ldN yer WlOIIl tHey
visited subsequently, that he did no,
know that there was any will. An at
tempt made by Attorney Gage to make
the witness say that Phifer had said
that Creede had not left a WILL" in
stead of made a WILL" was not sue
cessful.
Attorney Donald Barker was not per.
mitted to testify, on the ground that
any statements made to him by Phifel
were privileged.
In the afternoon Max Gumpel, the Sar
Francisco expert, was handed the al
legged will, and after identifying it, he
said that the name of n. c. Creede had
first been stamped upon the paper with
glycerine stamp after which it ha6
been written in ink, or, rather painted
over with a pen.
A microscope was brought into opera
tion and the signature placed within its
range, for the purpose of allowing tbs
expert to qualify his statements and ex-
plain the mode by which the signature
had been traced over the stamped name
Mr.. Gage offered to submit the case
but Frank Finlayson objected to this
course, and proceeded to argue his views
on the subject. Later Mr.. Gage replied
and the court then announced that hi
would take 1t under advisement,

NO BAIL TAKEN
The Las Virgenes Assailants Held to
Answer

Yesterday afternoon when the exam
ination of Harris and Cardwell for the
murder of Hilton at Las Virgenes was
taken up again in the township Justices
court, the prosecution introduced the
bloody overalls of the deceased, his
rifle, Cardwells shotgun and the rife
which Harris had carried. An empty
cartridge, as we'll as the buckshot re-
covered during the post mortem on Hill
tons body, was also filed.
The defense declined to introduce any
evidence, and Justice Young ordered the
two defendants to appear before the
superior court for trial, no bail being
allowed.
