Sam Davis came down from Carson City
some time ago and has held many con-
situations with Attorney Stone and
Nanny Pleasant. The result of the
councils Of war; is that the aged negress
claims, through Davis and Stone, that
she owns all the property in this city,
Sonoma County and Oakland which
stands recorded in the name of Mrs
Teresa Bell, the widow Of Thomas Bell,
who for many years employed Nanny
Pleasant as housekeeper.
The business relations existing between
Nanny Pleasant and Mr.. and Mrs
Bell are well known in this community.
Mrs. Bell allowed her colored house
keeper to attend to all her affairs, and in
this way large sums Of money passed
through the hands of Mrs. Pleasant.
Stone exhibited a lot Of old checks
yesterday, which he says will go to prove
that Nanny" Pleasant had for years
purchased real estate and Jewels and that
she was very wealthy long before she be-
came the servant of Mr.. and Mrs. Bell.
1t is well known that Thomas Bell gave
his wife very valuable diamonds, and
some years ago, when in the throes of
litigation. Mrs. Bell had the Jewels de-
posted with the Donohoe-Kelly Banking
Company in the name of Mrs. Pleasant.
On an order signed by Mrs. Pleasant the
jewels were delivered to Mrs. Bell by the
bank.
Nanny Pleasant did not make any
statement yesterday that these jewels
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1901-12-13

ever were her personal property. The
presumptuous claim was made by Stone
and Davis, and it is not likely that these
worthless will ever come into court TO
substantiate the assertion that a promi-
nent lawyer and politician stole the gems
from the bank.
Those who know the characteristics of
Nanny Pleasant readily realize that
the latest move she is making, with the
aid of Stone and Davis, savors of the
impenetrable mystery that surrounded
the ''house of mystery" which Nanny"
is claiming.
Mrs. Bell Ridicules Claims.
When Mrs. Teresa Bell was seen last
evening and told of the claims made on
Nanny" Peasants behalf by Stone
and Davis she said:
l don't think that Nanny" Pleasant will
ever dare to come into court and swear to such
claims. II she does 1 will prove that every
dollar she has had in the past thirty years she
received from Mr.. Bell and myself. She never
had dollar to her name before she entered
my employ.
1t is really amusing to hear Of such absurd
my Pleasant. But really have not the time
to waste on such fairy tales.
Attorney Brakeman, who represents
the interests of Mrs Bell, said last night:
I don't believe that any such suits will ever
be filed for Mrs. Pleasant. I don't care to dis

tirely, but when I approached and held

Says He Is Tired.

'T asked what he was doing in Mexico
and he replied he was tired out and
broken down and was simply taking a
vacation. He further said that he was
going to Guadalajara, where he would
join some friends in the mining business
and perhaps be absent from California for
quite a while. He did not seem to be in
the least disconnected, although 1 sus-
pected that there was something wrong.
Zone thing that led me to believe that
everything was not right was on account
of one remark he made. When we shook
hands upon parting he remarked:

n III AANIY'' PLEASANT, or Mary
Mt E. Pleasant, as she is legally
VII known, is once more to be
Il ~ dragged into the light of day in
connection with the estate of
the late Thomas Bell.
Attorney Frank NJ Stone of this city
and Sam Davis. the Carson City humor
fist are threatening all kinds of law suits
against the estate Of Thomas Bell and
the Donohoe-Keny Banking Company on
behalf OF the aged colored woman who
has been in the public eye for these many
years past.
Lawyers, as a rule, DO not reveal their
plans around newspaper Offices, but
Stone and Davis were busily engaged yes
terdsy in telling exclusive" stories to
representatives Of the morning newspa-
pers as to the suits they would bring for
Mrs. Pleasant to recover property worth
more than 100000 The Call received an
s'exclusive" story at the same time the
other newspapers did.
While the lawyer and the humorist were
engaged yesterday in drawing up some
legal papers asking Judge Trout to re-
move George r. Eaton as assignee of the
estate Of Mrs. Pleasant, so that a friend
~ assignee might file the threatened suits
IN law, statements were made by Stone
that the papers would show that a promi-
nent lawyer and politician in this city
would be accused Of stealing diamonds be-
longing to Mrs. Pleasant valued at more
than 500 600.
The amount Of mystery that surround
ed the work Of the lawyer and humorist
was denser than the heavy fog that hung
over the bay few days ago. They would
give all kinds Of hints as TO what they
intended to do, but when asked for ex-
plantations became silent.
Desire a Friendly Assignee.
The petition filed yesterday by Stone
for the removal Of Eaton as assignee OF
Mrs. Peasants estate was made return
able next Monday by Judge Trout. It is
not thought, however. that Eaton VIII be

- L PASO, Texas, Dec. 12-It is now
certain that H. ]. Freshman. the
absconding Los Angeles bank
@=l cashier, passed through this city
and took the southbound Mexican
Central train for the coast. Conclusive
evidence of this fact was furnished to-
day by David NJ. Shanks, an old friend of
Freshman. Shanks stated to the police
authorities that he met the absconder at
one of the small stations. south of this
city, shook hands with him and spoke to
him for a brief time.
Shanks is a prominent citizen of Los
Angeles. He has known the cashier for
years and the two have had many bust
ness dealings with each other. The meet
ing was purely accidental and Fleishman
upon seeing Shanks made a pretense of
not recognizing him, but upon the latter's
coming to him with hand outstretched the
defaulting bank official grasped the prof
fered hand and chatted with his ac-
quaintance until the northbound train
pulled out.
No Mention of Crime.
Shanks was in total ignorance that
Fleishman had gotten away with the
enormous sum from the Farmers and
Merchants Bank and no reference what
ever was made to the subject. While the
two trains were waiting the time was
spent i'll conversation from which Shanls

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 12-Dehnite in
formation of Fleishman's whereabouts,
received from FL Paso, has rather dis
couraged those detectives who insisted
that the absconder was still in hiding In
this city. But 1t has also brought relief
to certain of Fleishman's friends, who
have been subjected to no end of annoy
ance by having their apartments searched
at the most inopportune hours by detec-
tives in the hope of finding the cashier
hidden away.
Among these is Mrs. Cunningham, the
s'beauty DOCTOR" who, despite her re-
peated assertions that she knew nothing
whatever of Fleishman's movements since
last Friday has been called upon many
times to tell of her acquaintance with
him. Mrs. Cunningham admits that she
knew Fleishnan. but she says she did not
know him any better than she did other
gentlemen.
