civil engineer of Los Angeles. who
has lately come up from the south
with his wife and family to care for
his parent. The ranch mentioned in
the letter is in Nevada County and be
longs to simon Dikeman. The let
ter is In part as follows:
James-Your scoundrelly advice has
brought nothing but misfortune 10 our
family. When i went 10 the Berkeley
home j found the insane Henry and
Matilda in charge, and they We're reed
ing mother on water soup made OF veg
etables without any meat The thin
part they gave to mother and the thick
part they kept for themselves. Then
I Went up 70 the stolen ranch TO see
how father was. l was met at the
door Of the ranchhouse by a partially
bleached negro woman and couple
OF partially ble3ched negro children.
The bleached negro woman told me
she was your wife j was surprised
YOU could not get a white woman Tor
2 wife. When white man mates with
woman with cOlOle1 D4OOQ III lle-t
veins there is always danger that some
Of the children may be black 1t would
be a nice thing TO do to make father
the grandparent of q black child. The
woman told me father was away at
neighbOring ranch.
This letter was introduced by Attor-
eny George Reed. on behalf Of the
elder Dikeman, TO show that Waldo
was not a competent witness against
his father. Judge Harris ruled. how
ever that it did not show incom-
potency on the part of the writer
Henry and Matilda l9ikeman, men
toned in the letter. are the brother
and sister of Waldo Di1eman. The lat
ter wants q guardian for his father
but is determined James shall not be
chosen. He cannot himself be ap-
pointed because he is not a resident
q California.
Simon H Dikeman is - years Of
age He owns much Berkeley realty
snd is worth over 500. 600. He was su
perintendent and chief stakeholder Of
the Nevada Ditch Company in Nevada
County in the mining days. He does
not want guardian appointed.
". c. Moran and r. f. Bush, real
estate dealers Of Berkeley. and c. II.
Warren. a Berkeley contractor, testi-
fed today that they had known Simon
Dikeman for many years and thought
him perfectly competent. The case will
