Want Daneri's Deed Set Aside.

Catherine Polidori, a sister of the
late Bartholomew Daneri, and several
of the latter's nieces, yesterday brought
suit against Anna Daneri, his widow.
to set aside a deed conveying to her
property on Scott place made by Daneri
last June, just one day before his death.
The plaintiffs allege that he was per-
suaded to make the deed by Mrs. Dan
eri, notwithstanding that she knew
that there was a will in existence in
which they were left certain bequests.
Because of the transfer of the property,
they say, payment of the bequests is
rendered impossible

MRS. {. |. FAIR
FIRST TO DIE
DR.. John GaIIwey Gives I'M
portant Testimony Regarding
Condition of the Two Bodies
MAKES STRONG POINT
Says the Autopsy Proves Con-
clusively That the Husband
Lived After the Accident

That Charles L. Fairs death oc-
Cured q few seconds at least after
that OF Mrs Fair is the positive opin-
ion OF Dr. John Gallwey. who. with
DR.. Williamson, performed the autop-
sy on the bodies Of the two victims
Of the automobile disaster. Dr. Gall
wey was called as an expert
witness at the hearing now progress
ing before John A. Hosmer. sitting as
court commissioner. According 10 the
statements Of Dr. CIallwey death came
instantly to Mrs. Fair, and Charles
L. Fair undoubtedly lived a short time
after the accident
DR.. Gallwey first told Of the result
Of the autopsy on the body of Charles
L Fair. Although d careful examina-
ton was made, no fracture Of the
skull or lower jaw was discovered.
The Jaw was tightly closed and the
tongue protruded between the teeth
and was firmly gripped by them, but
showed no evidence Of laceration.
This is. considered a strong point by
the defense, as it is argued that Fair
must have lived long enough after
striking the ground TO have placed his
tongue between his teeth. Had his
tongue been out when he struck the
ground il would have been lacerated
By the teeth. but no such laceration
is evident. In answer to a direct in
terrogatory on this point the witness
said:
L believe the tongue assumed its
position after the injuries were re-
ceived and that there was a distinct
interval between the time of the in
juries and that Of death. During this
interval he must have been seized with
muscular cOnvulsiOns which are not
unusual in cases of severe shock.
Death was due to cerebral concus-
sion"
The witness disagreed with DR.. Per-
riquet. the French physician who ex-
amined the bodies in France and who
said he discovered a break in the cere-
bral envelope in Fairs head. Accord
ing 10 DR.. Gallwey this would be i'm
possible as DR.. Perriquet had never
performed a complete autopsy. The
cerebral envelope is within the skull
and the skull was never opened until
the bodies arrived in this city.
In the case of Mrs. Fair IL was his
opinion that death resulted instantly.
The head was badly mangled and
there were innumerable fractures Of
the skull. II would be impossible for
life TO exist for a moment after such
terrible injuries IT would be possible
for a person instantly killed. he said,
10 exhibit some muscular cOntractiOns
Of the face after death. but il was not
possible in her case. owing to the Sc
verify Of the injuries and the number
of bones broken. There is no doubt
in his mind that she received the
greater injuries Of the two. The hear
ing viii be resumed this morning when
DR.. Gallwey viii be cross-examined.

In conformity with the indictments
found by the Federal Grand Jury at
Washington. D. C, and with instruc-
tions from the United States Attorney
General, United States District Attor-
new Woodwork yesterday drew a conf
paint against Frederick A Hyde,
Henry P. Dimond. John P. Benson and
Joost H. Schneider, charging them with
having conspired in the city Of Wash
ington, D. c., TO defraud the United
States of large tracts of public lands
IN lieu Of title to school lands in Cali
fornia and Oregon.
Within a half hour after the COM
plant had been drawn, Henry p. Di-
mond walked into WoodwOrth's office
and asked what all the trouble was
about Mr.. Woodwork tipped a wink
TO United States Secret Service Agent
HaZen, who informed Mr. Dimond that
he was under arrest. Later in the day
Frederick A. Hyde was arrested by Mr..
Hazen and United States Marshal
Shine on the same complaint. The
other defendants are absent from this
State
Hyde and Dimond were taken before
United States Court Commissioner
Heacock and gave bonds in the sum
Of $4,000 each. Judge Heacock set the
ings for Wednesday of next week at
10 a. m. Dimond's bondsmen were
Charles r. Wheeler and w. r. Sher-
wood. He was represented by Samuel
Knight. who will resist the removal
proceedings. Hyde's bondsmen were
Duncan McNee and c. c. Clay of the
Sherman-Clay Company. His attor-
ney is Bert Schlesinger. II was in Mr..
Schlesinger's office that Hyde was ar
rested. the lawyer having telephoned
the whereabouts of his client.
OVERT ACT is CHARGED.
Only one overt act is charged in the
complaint. It is alleged that Dimond
on December 80, 1901, presented let
ter to the Commissioner General of the
Land office, in which he appeared as
attorney for c. w. Clarke in the mat
ter of his forest reserve lieu selection.
No. 29O4, for lands in the State Of
Washington in lieu of lands in Oregon
and California, thereby defrauding the
United States.
State Mineralogist Aubury, speaking
yesterday Of the land transactions of
HYDE and Dimond, said the two men
named visited him some months ago
and wished him to approve Of GER
tain resolutions that had been adopted
by the California Miners Association in
convention, in which the convention
asked that the Secretary of the In
terror should instruct local land Off
GERS to designate so-called dry lakes
in this State as prima facie saline III
character.
Hyde and Dimond wished Aubury to
certify to the Secretary Of the Inte-

ACY BY GOVERNMENT.

rior that certain lands, to the extent
of many thousands of acres in the
southern part of the State, were saline.
The purpose of this appeared to the
State Mineralogist to be somewhat OBJ
scure. He accordingly referred the
matter to the trustees of the State
Mining Bureau BY them, acting on
the suggestions Of the State Mineralo-
giSt, the request of Hyde and Dimond
was turned down.
Hyde. so Aubury remembers, urged
upon him the argument that by hav-
ing the desert lands declared saline
they would be kept out of the hands
of the scrippers and would be pre-
served to the miners of the State. He
also said, so Aubury recalls, that he
had caused the resolution to be adopted
by the California State Miners Convep-
ton On the face of the matter the
saline proposition appeared to be very
reasonable. The California miners had
adopted it innocently.
REFUSES TO CERTIFY.
Had any one else asked me to have
certified that the lands were saline"
said Mr.. Aubury yesterday, Il would
not have been suspicious of it at the
start. But when 1 reflected that Hyde
and Dimond were acting together and
that they were engaged in Scripping
largely, / said that l had no personal
knowledge as to whether the lands in
certain townships were saline. l then
looked UP the operations of the two
men in the land office and 1 discov-
cred that they were taking up the des-
ert school lands as agricultural and
were putting up 81 % per acre for them,
The land was not worth Is cents per
acre. While there was some borax or
other salines. the quantity was small
and not worth the expense of getting
out.
1T occurred to me then that there
was a chance for a very smooth ope-
ration by Hyde and Dimond, which
was not criminal in any way, but it
might be of a sort to which the State
Mineral0gist would not be supposed to
lend his aid. If the school lands had
been declared saline after they had
been taken by Hyde and Dimond as
agricultural they could have gone to
the Government and have secured lieu
scrip, which they could have placed on
unoccupied lands of the Government
wherever they could find them.
II knew that they were doing a large
business in securing lieu scrip and in
selling it. Large owners of timber
lands, like T. B. Walker, had come
into possession of great tracts of the
finest timber in California by the lieu
scrip method. If Hyde and Dimond
had had the scrip they could easily
have sold it for several times what the
school lands had cost them per acre
and could have cleaned up large sum
Of money. / did not fall in with their
scheme in any wa1&
