LAPIQUE KNOCKED OUT
IN FIRST LEGAL ROUND
Judge Hunt Sustains Seventeen De-
murrers to Pork Packers Sen
SatiOnaI COMPLAINT.

Seventeen of the forty-four defend
ants named in the sensational suit of
John Lapique for $650,000 damages
were relieved from further bother
with the case yesterday when Judge
Hunt sustained their demurrer to the
complaint and denied Lapique leave
to answer. This puts the case out of
court as far as the following defend
ants are concerned: A. Ruef, CASTOR
Straus, A. G: Freese, A. P. Van Duser,
John j. West, Ellen Faubert, Joseph
T. Cognet, p. A. Bergerot, J. A. Ber-
gerot, Ursula Mesple, Lawrence Mes
pie, P. Maysounave, Max Andechon,
Frank w. Cornyne, P. B. Oliver, j. lie
Breton and Theodore Kytka.
Lapique, who was a pork packer,
charged that the persons whom he
sued had maliciously prosecuted him
for seventeen years past and the
greater part of that time he spent
either in Jail or In an asylum. While
SO confined he studied law in order to
be prepared to get even" with those
responsible for injuring his business
and reputation.
He appeared as his own attorney In
the case and last week opposed in
court a number OF lawyers who pre-
scented the demurrers.

CARNETT FACES
A TRIAL JURY
Accused of the Murder of
Major J.W. McClung in the
Palace Hotel November 25
CHIEF WITNESS ABSENT
Indications Point to Effort
of the Defense to Prove
Shooting Was Accidental

After a delay of many months the
impaneling of a jury to try the case
of Alexander B. Garrett, charged with
the murder of Major j. w. McClung In
the rooms of Mrs. Elizabeth Hitchcock
Colt in the Palace Hotel on November
% last, was commenced in Judge Law
lor's court yesterday afternoon. Dis
trict Attorney Byington and Assistant
Attorney Ferral are conducting the
prosecution and Attorney George D.
Z Collins represents the defendant
The morning session was occupied in
an argument of counsel on a challenge
to the panel interposed by Attorney
Collins. He objected to the jurors sum-
moned on special venire by the Sher-
if by order of the court, claiming that
the jury should be selected from the
regular panel. The Judge allowed the
challenge and fifty-three names out OF
the $50 composing the special venire
which were in the box were ordered
taken out and the jurors dismissed.
There were fiftysix names of the reg
ular panel in the box and the impanel-
ing of the jury to try the case was pro-
ceeded with from these names. The
jury was nearly completed when court
adjourned till 1870 o'clock this after
noon. 1t was evident from the ques-
lions put to the jurors by Attorney
Collins that the plea Of the defense
will be that the shooting was acct
dental; that the revolver was dis
charged during a struggle between Ma
jor McClung and the defendant for its
possession.
The only eyewitness to the shooting
was Mrs. Colt and she is supposed to
be in Paris, France. A list of inter
rogatories to be put to her was sent to
the American Consul at Paris, but he
wrote that nothing could be done with
out the usual fees being forwarded
The fees were not sent and the depo-
sition was not taken. She testified at
the preliminary hearing before Police
Judge Fritz and her testimony will
be read to the jury. 1t is claimed for
the defense that there are important
points favorable to the defendant that
are not contained in the transcript
made by the court stenographer.
The following jurors were selected
in the Garnett case, the list being
completed at o'clock last night:
Mark I. Cole, GA Fell street; Gardner
a. B. Spencer, PIC Devisadero street:
Aaron Wiener, 1926 Geary street;
Frederick Letter, 1903 Page street;

MISSING Tor Seven years.

The hearing of the suit of Sarah
Patterson against the Grand Lodge,
A. o. u. W., to recover $4,000 on life
insurance policy taken out by her
husband and premiums paid on it for
the past seven years was begun yester-
day in Judge Murasky's court. w. T.
Patterson was clerk of the Board
OF Supervisors and on January q,
1897, he disappeared, leaving letters
which indicated that he intended to
commit suicide. He has not been
heard from since, but in absence of
the proof of his death the fraternal
order refused to pay his insurance.
AT the time of his disappearance Pat
terson was living with Mrs. J. B. Will
son at lilo Market street. On the
morning of the day Of his leaving he
borrowed a quarter from her. When
she went to his room she found two
letters, one addressed to herself and
the other to Robert Morrison. The
letter to her stated that the pressure
of debts which he had incurred for
another and ungrateful person had
made life so unbearable that he could
stand 1t no longer. The letter to Nor
rison was of the same tenor. Mrs.
Wilson, Morrison and Mrs. Patterson
testified to the facts above related and
tcld of Patterson's frequent threats to
take his own life.

MAYOR FAILS TO SETTLE
THE STABLEMEN'S STRIKE
Opposing Interests Cannot Agree Re
garding the "Open Shop"
P0li0V

The attempt of Mayor Schmitz to
settle the difference between the
union stablemen and hack drivers on
the one side and the Stable and Car
riage Owners Association has come to
naught. Two conferences on the SUBJ
jet were held yesterday in the
Mayors office, one in the morning and
the other in the afternoon The dis
cussion was animated, but the rock
upon which both sides split was the
open" or closed" shop policy.
The employers insisted on the "open
shop" while the union men were de-
termined not to agree to a settlement
unless the CLOSED" shop system pre-
vailed. In other words, the employees
wanted the proprietors to discharge
all their non-union help employed
since the strike and to employ none
but union men in future.
All the other points of differences
appeared to be amicably settled except
the one mentioned. At the conclusion
of the conference the Mayor expressed
regrets that his good offices as medi-
ator had resulted in no agreement
being reached.
