SUIT AGAINST ASHFORD
ATTORNEY G. W. ACCUSED OF
BLACKMAlL.
Sensational Case in the San Francisco
Courts-Foriner Honolulu Man the
Central Figure In II.

Clarence W. Ashford, formerly of
Honolulu. is n co-defendant i'm big
damage suit for blackmail at San
Francisco. The man with him is Al
bert f.. Lucas, "A detective. j. +. Turn
er is the complainant. Lucas has no
connection with the Honolulu family
of that name.
In the complaint Turner AYERS that
on March 31st, Lucas and Ashford
combined and conspired together to
blackmail him and in furtherance of
the conspiracy falsely represented to
Moritz A. Rose that he (Turner) was
indebted to him and to them in the
sum of $250,000, and by means of fab
ricated evidence and misrepresenta-
tons induced Rose to believe that the
Indebtedness now exists.
All of the defendants, including
Rose, it is set forth. claim that Turn
er is indebted to them in the sum
named upon an obligation arising on
contract. and threaten and have by
means of letters addressed to Turner
threatened. that if Turner does not
pay them the money they will accuse
him of crime, cause his arrest and
prosecute him until such time as the
demands are satisfied. In defense it
is set forth that Turner is not in
debted to the defendants or either of
them and that no obligations exists
upon which claim arises or could
arise.
In explanation Turner says that
when Ashford reached San Francisco
from Honolulu he made him a pro-
position to borrow large amount of
face notes to give him standing"
Turner let him have something like
$3.50, 900 worth of notes in certain
Clarke estate. Shortly after trouble
began. and the matter came into the
courts. Turner says he finally beat
Ashford in the suit. Lucas and Rose
were both interested with Ashford in
the matter of the note deal. In
March came the threatening letters
which brings on the present suit.
Turner says that neither Ashford
nor Lucas have any money and that
the plan was to get Rose to join in to
get his money for the conspiracy
After landing Turner in Jail they
could corral the property remaining
in trust in Ashford's hands. Rose is
put down as an innocent victim, and
! Turner does not blame him for the
alleged Matchmaking.
Ashford's side of the case has not
vet been presented in court. When
it is an entirely different phase may
be put on affairs.

DIsCREDIT DEATH THEORY.
Friends of Captain Ankers Believe He
Will Show Up.

Honolulu friends of Captain George
Ankers, who is missing at San Fran
cisco, believe that the master of the
Oceania Vance will make his appear
ance again. 1t is related that some
years ago he dropped out of sight and
was missing for a month. At another
time he showed up from South Ameri-
ca long after his family had been ca
bled of his death.
His friends here believe that after
starting back to his ship he met some
friends and went away with them. His
departure for two or three days would
not be unusual if the customary notice
to his mates had been given. Perhaps
the skipper forgot this small civility.
