The Grand jury filed its final report
with Presiding Judge Murasky yester-
day asd was discharged from further
duty. The report censures the admin
istration Of the County Clerks office,
which office, it says. is conducted in
a criminal manner Fault is found
with the Police Courts for being too
lenient with offenders and imposing
fines too small TO deter offenders from
commt$ting crimes.
Just before filing its report, the
Grand jury seriously discussed the IN
dictnIent of a certain money lender for
Withholding moneys from the salary
warrants Of several deputies employed
10y County Clerk MahOney. The mem
bers Of the Grand Jury were unan-
imously in favor of bringing in the IN
dictment. bu before taking action
called Assistant District Attorney
Whiting into consultation. Whiting
advised the Grand Jury that there was
a flaw in the law. which prevented the
bringing Of ths indictment, and II was
compelled 10 abandon its intention. The
report Of the Committee on County
Clerk. COMPOSED Of Harry NJ. Kelly,
chairman; James A. Shook and L. }.

DISPUTE STILL
STOPS BURIAL
Remains of Late Wealthy Los
Angeles Man Rest in the
Charge of an Undertaken

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29.-The body
Of Theodore C. Crates. wealthy man
who died here on December %, is still in
an undertaker's charge awaiting final
disposition, while the relatives are en-
gagged in a dispute as to whether the
body shall be cremated or buried.
1t appears that Crates himself de-
sired cremation and his brothers and
friends are anxious to carry out his
wishes, but his father and aunt have
opposed the plan and are in favor of
burial.
One attempt has been made to inter
the body, but as it was being lowered
into the grave the relatives objected
and it was returned to the undertaken.
There is possibility that the matter
will be taken into the law courts. An
estate valued at 100000 is involved.

Former BellbOy Testifies at Vic
tOria That Alexander Duns-
muir Always Acted Nationally
DENIAL OF INTEMPERANCE
Statement Is Made by the
Witness That He Was Ask
cd to Testify for Plaintiff

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 29.-Ed-
ward Brock of Oakland, weigher for
R. Dunsmuir & Co., formerly bellboy
at the Grand Hotel, San Francisco,
gave evidence in the Hopper-Duns-
muir will case this morning that Alex
ander Dunsmuir had always acted ra-
tionally and intelligently so far as he
knew. He said he made frequent Wis
its to San Leandro and remained there
at times for a week.
In cross examination he said he had
gone to visit Alexander Dunsmuir at
his office at different times and before
he started to work for r. Dunsmuir
& Co. Alexander Dunsmuir had told
the witness not to speak to him at
the office for fear the other clerks
would think he was too familiar.
While engaged as bellboy at the
Grand Hotel he had carried on an
average of one to three cocktails each
day to Alexander Dunsmuir's apart
ments. Dunsmuir's habit was to get
some buttermilk and oysters in the
evening and witness never saw any
liquor other than a bottle of ale.
The witness had first entered Duns-
muir's employ as an errand boy. In
September, 1901, he saw Edna Wal
lace Hopper and Judge Coyne at San
Leandro and he said they had asked
him TO be a witness for their side. On
the following day he had written to
Mrs. Hopper telling her he could not
testify tO the unsoundness of Mr.
Dunsmuir. He declared he received
no more than his SIS per month sal
airy from the Dunsmuir company.
