Witness at San Francisco Refuses
TO Testify, and He Is a
Vital One.
JUDGE SENDS HIM OFF TO JAZZ
There He Will Stay Until the Trial Il
Ended, Perhaps
Refusal to Answer May Make 1t I'M
aossible to Convict Glass
in the City Graf
Cases.

San Francisco, July 16.-The first
serious blow TO the bribery graft pros.
ecution was struck by the Louis Glass
defense in open court, through Emil
j. thinner, second vice president and
director of the Pacific States Telephone
company, who first refused to be
sworn; afterward accepted the oath
and took the stand, answered two or
three unimportant questions put by AS
sistant District Attorney Heney, then
refused to testify further He was by
Judge Lawler committed for contempt
to the county Jail for a term of five
days, and until the question is an
swered." Under the law as interpreted
by the court this means that thinner
must stay in Jail throughout the pro-
gress of the Glass trial, or until he sig
mites his willingness to testify.
State Banked on thinner.
On thinner the prosecution relied as
its most important witness against
Vice President Glass, accused of brib-
cry. At the time this crime is alleged
to have been committed, March OF
1906, Louis Glass was acting president
and general manager of the Pacific
! States company, owing to the death of
/ President John l. Sabin. Before the
| grand jury thinner testified that Glass
drew checks for the bribery money al
legged to have been paid to the super
! vic ~
and then instructed him to give the
money to Agent Halsey and require
from Halsey no voucher, merely car
rying these thousands of dollars on
the current expense account.
Meant No Disrespect to the Court.
The proceedings in court were as
follows: THE witness will be sworn
Then we will determine his attitude, "
ruled Judge Lawlor. Clerk WEIGH ad-
ministered the oath to thinner and he
took the stand. thinner refused, how
ever, to testify, though he declared
that in so doing he meant no disre
spect to the court. Judge I4awlor said
"'You are guilty of contempt In the
presence of the court and are subjec
to summary punishment Read tn,
question before the court, Mr.. Report

He Pleaded Self Protection.
"How long have you been so EN-
ployed by the corporation?" the ste
nographer read. 81 still refuse to an

Judge Lawlor requested the report

when thinner had replied: Meaning

Then, much ado was made about
the fortune Of the princess, who in
her own right, has more wealth than
any princess of Europe. This money,
unfortunately for her piece of mind,
comes to her from her grandfather,
NJ. Blanc, who founded the gambling
place Of Monte Carlo, and there made
such huge sums that he died immense
ly wealthy.
It was mainly because of: the faint
on the fortune that King Edward tried
to dissuade King George Of Greece
from permitting the match, and per-
haps there also fingered in the king
Of the Britons some vestige of the ira
ditional hatred for the stock of the
ruler; who finally at Waterloo ended
his mighty career a British prisoner.

also reviewed an old scandal that the

PRIMA DONNA IS A =:|
"TRMBY'' IN REAL. LIFE
Bessie Abbott of metropolitan Opera Can Only Sing
Under Sisters Influence.

When Du Maurier's ''Trilby" first
made it's phenomenal success, it start.
ed furore Of controversy over the
credibility Of the situation that made
the heroine a great singer merely be-
cause she was under the influence of
the hypnotist, Svengali.
Musicians, experts on hypnosis and
specialists in half dozen lines, took
part in the controversy, which had not
been settled up to the time of the au-
thor's death, in fact it is still in prog
ress
But now comes development that
proves Du Maurier to have strained
no laws Of probability in his fascinat-
ing tale.
There are Trilbys in real life.
One of them has just been found.
1t is no ordinary singer who con-
cedes that only through the support
ing power Of another's mind is she
able to get the full beauty out of her
voice.
This vocalist is one of the worlds
celebrated song birds, Bessie Abbott,
one of the most famous prima donnas
that Herr Conried has for his Metro
politan opera house.
The psychic bond between Bessie
Abbott and her sister, Jessie Abbott,
accounts for the formers success in
grand opera.
But for the mental support and
help Of my sister Jessie I would Ger
tainly fail dismally," she herself told
reporter recently. Il depend on her
absolutely. Were she not in the house
I could not find my voice for note.
II she ever marries or quits me l shall
have to give up my career"
This statement Of the case shows a
control hardly less complete than
Svengali exercised over his barefooted
model.
Jessie and Bessie have been insep-
arables always, and it was mainly the
influence Of Jessie that pushed Bessie
forward to demanding what was the
rightful reward of her unusual voice.
When the American girl went to
Europe to experience the hardships,
privations. jealousies and disappoint-
4uSlllS VI IAlS oIuuVut 1llV JCoSlC was
with her helping to smooth the way,
and ease the strain of the battle.
When the victory was won, and the
young singer had demonstrated her
right to a trial at the smaller opera
houses on the continent, the invisible
support of the older sister still helped
the young prina donna. When the oc-
cascn approached for the much-feared
debut in the Grand Opera house, Jes-
sic had a seat in the front row, and
followed every note, exerting, as Bes-
sic says, an influence that helped her
in the hard passages, and made her
surpass herself.
This same sympathy helped her
through the ordeal Of first appear
ance in London, and, worse still, her
debut in the huge Metropolitan opera
house.
1t was part Of the contract that Bes-
sic Abbott made with Herr Conried
that for every performance in which
she took part her sister was to have
a seat close to the stage where the
singer could have her in view all the
time
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1907-11-23

And when honors came, and there
was applause for the young prima
donna, she ever insisted that her sue
cess was half her sisters.
Few prima donnas have been able to
achieve the success that has been
Miss Abbott's. She is only twenty-five
years old, and her voice has by no
means attained to it's full power. Not
for five years yet will she have the full
chest required to house the great
would. fill the vast auditoriums of New
York, London and Paris.
Miss Abbott has been permitted to
sing Juliet, Marguerite, Mimi and
Michaela with the foremost tenors of
the world, but she is not content, the
