SAYS GRAIN
WAS SHIPPED
Weigher Crockett Testifies
for the Prosecution in
the Eppinger Failure Case
COUNSEL FEES An ISSUE
Attorneys for the Defense
Are Seeking to Prove Ami
mus on Part of Col. Beck

The prosecution in the case Of Jacob
Eppinger, charged with obtaining
money on worthless warehouse receipts,
dug into the meat of the case late yes
terday afternoon when the work OF
tracing the course of the receipts and
the disposition of the grain was begun.
w. B. Cutter of the firm of Cutter &
Moseley testified sthat he had on De-
cember 2, 1902, purchased warehouse
receipts Nos. 7O6, 7O7, 7OS and 7O9 from
M. Blum & Co. - II December 4 he sent
these receipts to Eppinger & Co. with
the following letter:
Enclosed find warehouse receipts covering
lots TO6, 107. 70S and 700, which please tele-
phone to Port Costa TO deliver the French
bark Pierre Lott Your Immediate attention
will oblige, as We would like to get started
early this morning so as to get finished finished Re
spectfully, CUTTER & MOSELE1.
Two of the lots mentioned are those
which the indictment charges Jacob
Eppinger with having borrowed upon
in April of 1903. In order to follow up
the transaction, Hugh McFaul,
weigher employed in the warehouse at
Crockett, testified that he had weighed
the grain mentioned In the hypothecat-
ed receipts and seen it loaded on the
bark Pierre Lott during the month of
December. 1902 He also saw the YES
sci sail away with the grain in her
hold.
ATTORNEY is REBUKED.
At the opening of the morning ses-
sion, Colonel Beck, manager of the In
ternational Banking Corporation, re-
sumed the stand. He testified as to
the number of years he had been in
the banking business and as to his
business relations with the firm of Ep-
pinger & Co. On cross-examination by
Attorney Ach the witness stated that
he had solicited business from the Ep-
pingers. as he thought they would be
good customers. He had made them
one loan prior to that made in April
and the amount had been paid. Dur
ing the course of the examination At
torney Ach was rebuked by the court
for the manner in which he was con-
Quoting the examination. He ex-
planned that there was no intent to
take up the time of the court and the
purport of his questions would develop
later.
An attempt was made I, obtain from
the witness a statement regarding the
amount of money paid Mr.. Campbell as
special prosecutor, in order to show
animus of the witness. The jury was
dismissed and the question argued at
length. The prosecution cOntended
that the mere fact that a special prose-
cutor was employed was sufficient evil
dence of the interest of the witness in
the case and that the sum of money
paid him for his services was in no
sense a point for the jury to- consider,
but rather a private business trans

tiOn for Street Sweepers

Contracts were awarded yesterday
by the Board of Public Works to
Frank McSheehy for additions to the
Dudley Stone School building at s12,-
492, and for additions to the Lowell
High School building at $2240.
Bids were opened for making cer-
tain additions to the Richmond School
building. Fred c. Jones bid was $21,-
$50 and the Deneen Building Com
pany's $4,000. The contract will be
awarded to the latter after the Board
OF Education has passed on the mat
ter.
City Engineer Woodward reported
that Thirty-second avenue South, from
G street to the water line, about $50
feet. is private property and that a
fence thereon is not an obstruction.
The board approved the specifica-
tions for water works for the new
pesthouse and asked the Supervisors
for authority to enter into a contract
therefor.
The board approved the map of the
assessment district for changes of
grades on Greenwich street, between
Hyde and Larkin.
City Engineer Woodward reported
that the cost of grading all cross
streets between Twenty-sixth and
Army streets, from Alabama street to
San Bruno road, is far in excess of
one-half of the assessed value of prop
erty liable therefor and that the work
cannot be done under public contract
The Civil Service Commission sent a
request that general information be
furnished by the board regarding the
qualifications of civil service eligibles
for street sweepers, with a view to hold
ing an examination therefor. The
Merchants Association asked that the
present sweepers have an equal chance
In the preparation of the eligible list.
The commission also asked to be ad-
vised how many superintendents,
assistant superintendents, inspectors
and foremen will be needed for the
municipal street cleaning plant. Presi-
dent Schmitz was authorized to confer
with the commission.
NJ L. Schmitt urged that uniform
width for brick walls I'm buildings be
adopted. Schmitt wanted the width
fixed at thirteen inches, which, he said,
was acceptable to the Fire Depart
ment. He was instructed to file a petit
ton on the subject, so that the build
ing ordinance may be amended by the
Supervisors.
