NOTARY HORN
ON The GRILL
Refuses to Admit That He
Ever Certified to a Paper
Without Presence of Party

Notary Public Harry L. Horn spent
terday afternoon on the witness stand
in the United States District Court.
He had identified certain affidavits
made before him by Louie Hook, Tong
Leong and Jan Kan to the effect that
Tong Tuai Ho. alias Lii Mi Ho. a Chi
nese girl who arrived on the steam
ship China last July, was a native of
this city. Jan Kan was on trial for
attempting to procure the landing of
the girl by means of a false affidavit
Notary Horn said that he could not
identify the prisoner at the bar as one
of the Cinnamon whom he had GER
titled on the affidavit as being per-
sonally known to him.
Thomas C. West, counsel for Jan
Kan, tried to make the witness say
that it was the custom for notaries in
this city to certify aftidavits in the
absence of the parties signing and
swearing to them. but Mr.. Horn coyly
declined to admit such a state of
facts.
Now. Mr.. Horn" continued Law
yer West, have you not done it for
me?"
Before the witness could reply
Judge de Haven remarked severely:
IF such be the fact it is very grave
misdemeanor."
20. your Honor" quickly inter-
jected Mr.. West. Il never used it. 1
couldn't get the man to acknowledge
it,
Horn denied that such was the
custom and he departed from the
stand with thick beads of perspira-
ton on his face.

Pheby, A. w. Rose, William j. Dtngee.
the Contra. Costa Water Company,

and to Bay Counties Land and Devel-
opmenL Company. Judgment Is de-
manded for s773,167 II and an account
ing Of the use Of 5000 shares of Contra
Costa stock and the use of 1926, 900 ap-
propriated for the alleged purposes OF
perfecting titles and compromising
prospective litigation.
The complaint embodies in one suit
the two suits begun by Mrs. Center.
and the allegations are the same as
those set forth in her actions. First it
is recited that in February, 1903, the
directors, conspiring with Alvinza Hay
ward. resolved to purchase the Pinole
tract, for which 5000 Contra Costa
shares were given to the Bay Counties
Company and S73,167 II to Bernardo
Fernandez. 1t is declared that the Bay
Counties Company was organized by
the Contra Costa directors as a medium
through which the tract could be con-
veyed, and that the tract was not
worth more than 100000, whereas the
Contra Costa shares were valued at
$500, 900. 1t. is said that the great profit
twas enjoyed by the defendants other
than the Contra Costa Water Com
pany."
In relation to the appropriation OF
$300,00 to secure titles and compro-
mise prospective litigation" and the
immediate approval of Dingee's ex-
penditure of S295,000 for those purposes,
it Is alleged that ''the money was not
paid as pretended, but for uses not
authorized" 1t Is also declared that
the directors of the corporation at that
time were mere agents of Dingee and
did as he directed"
