IN THE DIVORCE COURT

to defeat the suit for divorce instituted
against him by Mildred Ford Mrs.
Ford charges that her husband drinks
to excess and has frequently abused

Donovan was on the stand yesterday
and volunteered the information that

Ford.
You do not mean that you visited

knowledge. 1 would kiss her and she
would kiss me and we would embrace
and drink beer together"
You mean to say you kissed your
partners wife; in other words, that
you basely violated any confidence
your partner may have had In you?
Well you know 1t is always the
woman's fault" answered Donovan,
looking toward Judge Kerrigan for a
commencing nod. But Judge Kerrfgans
face wore anything but an afdrming
expression. NO person III ZIG SOoA'

none that commended Donovan for his
confession He was a hero In his own
estimation only.

Young Wife Disappears and

Home Is Also Missing
ABANDONS HER TWINS
Mrs. Emilia Cayalli Decamps
and Two Babes Are Left to
Their Grandmother's Care

Mrs. Emilia Cavallf, nineteen years old,
the pretty wife of L. j. Cavalli. a stat
uary maker at 1571 Market street, has
disappeared and Is suspected by her hus-
band OF having eloped with Charles Case,
who for two months had roomed at the
home OF Mrs. Cavallfs parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Mesquita, at Haywards,
where the missing girl wife was also
temporarily stopping. Besides apparently
abandoning husband and parents, Mrs.
Cavalli has left behind her two mites
OF babies, twins, only two months old.
Town Marshal Ramage of Haywards and
the Oakland and San Francisco police are
trying to find trace Of the missing
young woman.
Mrs Cavalli left her parents home last
Saturday evening at $50 o'clock. declar
ing she would not return until her hus-
band had means with which to provide
her with a home of her own. She had
few words with her mother before she
left. Before their little tiff could be set
tied, the young wife departed, apparently
In anger. although subsequent develop
ments have almost convinced the dis
tressed relatives that the girls bluster
was only a subterfuge to hide her real
purpose, namely, to run away with Case.
Case is lather, twenty-o -one years old,
tall and not unattractive in masculine
charm. He had roomed with the Mes
quitaS Tor two months and had become
very well acquainted with the young
wife, whose husband was absent most
Of the time in San Francisco, where he
was trying to establish his business on
profitable basis, one that would soon
warrant him in taking his little family
across the bay to settle in a home of
their own.
Case made an excellent impression at
the Haywards home. and was about to

girls father, who Is a plasterer. Ar
rangements had been made for him to go
to work on Monday morning. He was
not connected with the disappearance Of
the young mother until yesterday. Then
his failure to appear for work Monday,
his continued absence. an unexplained
trip to Oakland Sunday and some suspi-
cious actions recalled at this time as in
dicating very confidential relations be-
tween Mrs. Cavalli and Case; all this
crowded upon the grieving family with
double force. They unwillingly declared
their belief to the police that Case had
stolen the missing girls affections and
had induced her to fly with him, leaving
two tiny, helpless mites Of wailing babes
to be succored as best the grandmother
could care for them.
The Cavallis were married in Boston,
Mass, not two years ago. Cavalli came
to California with his wife several
months ago. She went to live with her
parents until her babies were born and

CLEARING WAY
FOR BUILDING
Bank of California Agrees
With Newhalls to Buy
Land for It's Own Use
CONTRACT is SIGNED
Modern Structure to Cost
Large Sum Will Be Reared
if Deal Is Perfected

The Bank of California has con-
tracted to buy and the firm of H. NJ.
Newhall & Co., as the White Investment
Company, has agreed TO sell at a specified
price the l. fronting on California, San
some and Halleck streets, that partly
surrounds the present site of the
Bank of California. The bank seeks
the land for the site of a great build
ing to be erected If the deal, that now
would seem to be sure to be perfected,
goes through. The amount of money
involved in the deal is very large but
those principally concerned declined
yesterday TO say what the price for the
property actually is
George A Newhall admitted that the
transaction is in progress and may be
accomplished soon. A rumor that the
Newhalls will take in the London and
San Francisco Bank property at Cali
fornia and Leidesdorf streets as re-
suit of the deal on foot was mentioned
TO Mr.. Newhall, but he declined to
either assert or deny the truth of the
story. There is probably a basis for it.
Negotiations regarding both the site
and the building to be erected have
covered quite a period. At one time it
was rumored that the Bank of Califor-
MIA and the Newhalls might construct
building together, but this proposition
was not finally favorably entertained
by the Bank of California. The New
halls own forty-fve feet on California
street by forty-four on Sansome and 1872
feet on Halleck. The bank cannot eX-
pand without purchasing the Newhall
land, at least not on the northwest cor
ner of California and Sansome streets.
This fact is realized fully by all real
estate men who have been watching
developments.
Frontage on California street was
purchased by the NewhallS in January,
1904, and twenty feet of this land was
transferred to the Bank of California
in March, 1904. The talk of erecting
great bank building on the corner has
been current since that time. If the
present deal goes through the Bank of
California will have 1926 feet on Cali
fornia street, 124 feet on Sansome and
1926 feet on Halleck, sufficient land
for a handsome and costly modern
structure on one of the best corners in
San Francisco.

ing off the diamond ring. Mcdonnell
was so badly injured by the blow on
the head that he was laid UP in bed
for over three weeks.

and he was allowed to plead guilty to
petty larceny. He was sentenced to

Detective Knows Good Coin

With both hands lifted high IN air,

Captain Anderson by wild gesuculauons-
The captain advised him to become com
posed and relate the cause of his anxiety
as best he could. After Fappiano had
wiped big drops of perspiration from his
brow. he proceeded TO tell the captain
that he had been "fim-flammed" by the
substitution of silver for gold money by
his landlady.
Fappiano said he had been working in
the quicksilver mines in Santa Clara
County and had in his possession s35, gold
coin. when he reached San Francisco. one

he was sure of because he had not stop

ing seventy-tive cents instead of SIS. She
drew the attention of Fappiano to what
seemed e mere mistake of coin. He ac-
cepted the mistake theory, and, TO make
good his error, dug down once more and
pulled out Of the recesses of his jeans
big $50 piece and passed it TO her. She
once more scanned the coin and found.
as she believed, q big silver dollar. This
time she became indignant and charged
Fappiano with deceit. He in turn ac-
cused hereof doing the "flim-ham' act
in changing the good gold money into
silver. Neither side would yield and as
q last resort the excited Fappiano rushed
OF to the police station.
Captain Anderson detailed Detective
Graham on the case. The detective Sc
cured the aid of an interpreter and, after
various questions, ii was found that Zap
piano had placed the gold coin in the
garments he had worn while at work In
The quicksilver mines and that the quick
silver had become attached TO the sur
face Of the gold and made II look like
silver. AS soon as the coins had been
held over the flame of a gas jet, the
quicksilver disappeared, revealing the
true value Of the coin.
The solution Of the mystery satisfied
both parties and in the peace conference
that followed Fappiano and his landlady,
with invited friends, uncorked some bot
ties Of grape Juice Henceforth when
Fappiano gets gold money he will see
that ii does not lose its good red color by
keeping company with debasing quick
