COSTELLO CHARGES
ENGINEER WITH
EMBRACERY
Attorney in Despatch Case
Accuses Officials of Try
ing to Influence Jury
WANTS OFFENDERS
PLACED IN CUSTODY

As result of the investigation of the
actions of Juror William Sullivan In
connection with the steamer Despatch
case, action in contempt of court is TO
be brought against President George
ID. Gray of the California and Oregon
Coast Steamship Company, while
charges of jury tampering against Chief
Engineer James Spencer of the De-
spatch are 10 be referred to the Grand
Jury for investigation. Spencer is ac-
cused of having attempted TO influence
members of the Jury which was hearing
the trial of the damage suit. and Gray
is alleged 10 have shown indiscrettOn
ia his entertainment OF the jurymen on
the occasion when they visited the
steamer at it's dock last week.
The trial of the $4,000 damage suit
brought by James Mitchell against the
steamship company named came to a
sudden end on Friday. when James
Mitchell, the plaintiff, told Judge Ora
ham that he had seen Juror Sullivan
drinking with Engineer Spencer and
Assistant Engineer Robert McLay. two
of the chief witnesses for the defense,
during the noon recess of the court.
The jury was dismissed and Sullivan
was ordered to appear yesterday for
investigation.
Spencer testified yesterday that the
incident of the men drinking together
was due to a chance meeting and that
no word concerning the case was ut
tered. Sullivan and McLay corrobo-
rated this statement Spencer was then
asked If he had talked with Sullivan
alone on the deck of the Despatch the
day the visit to that vessel was made
and he declared he had not He also
denied that he had told Juror c. F.
Boyd on another occasion that there
was only one side to the case. Boyd
said that such a statement had been
made to him and that he walked away.
Attorney Frank Costello of the coun-
sci for the plaintiff stated that on the
day Of the visit to the Despatch Presi-
dent Gray suggested that the jurors go
into his private Office and that he fur
nished them with cigars. Costello also
said that while on the steamer Spencer
and Sullivan walked around behind the
boilers together. and that the latter
was overheard to ask his companion
You say that is where the plank fel2'
I believe Spencer should be ordered
into custody" declared Attorney Steph-
en- V. Costello, also of counsel for the
plaintiff. 4 think this matter needs
investigation. for il is the most fla
grant violation Of the law to prevent
jury tampering that has ever come
within my experience. I believe. too,
that when we get to the place where
the president of corpora ton can in
fuence a jury. as was done here, it is
time TO abandon courts of justice I'M
less such acts are punished l viii
ask the court to allow me to bring con-
tempt proceedings against President
Gray"
The matter was continued by Judge
Graham until this morning, Attorney
W. F. Williamson of counsel for the
defense stating that he would be per-
sonally responsible for Spencer's ap-
-pearance, and no steps were taken 70

Judge Dunno found it necessary to

said: II perceive that you are merely
trying to confuse the witness
A. G. Burnett, secretary of the Grand
Jury, was examined. During his testi-
mony he said that Heney had himself
been a witness before the Grand Jury
at one time. It developed that this
was during the discussion of the Bel
vedere case. in which the indictments
have not been made public.

IN Lower Market street In

A. w. Burrell, president of the Bur

terday to the effect that in order to
carry out its contract to build a sewer

Foreman Oliver on Stand
in the Ruef Proceedings

Ever searching for some loophole of
escape from the indictments against
them, Ruef and Schmitz claim to have
discovered that Bartholomew Patrick
Oliver. foreman of the Grand Jury, is
and for three years has been a director
of Marchand's restaurant.
Now what are their indictments
worth?" exclaim the grafters in glee,
"for we have proven that the foreman
of the Grand Jury is himself prose-
cutor in his connection with one Of the
French restaurants in the easel"
Oliver was on the stand in Judge
DUNES court yesterday afternoon.
and during the examination conducted
by Henry Ach he was asked If 1T were
not true that he was one of the in
cooperating directors of Marchand's.
did Martin Stevens tell you that?"
asked Heney.
NO" replied AcA: 81 know it myself.
I used to take lunch there, and Michel
and Pierre told me. Is it not fact"
he continued, addressing the witness,
that you became one of the original
directors of Mahchand's at the time
the place was Incorporated two or
three years ago, Martin Stevens being
the attorney who drew UP the papers?"
TURNS BACK HIS SHARE
st knew Pierre Priet and collected
his rents for him.. was the reply.
LAS a. friend he asked me to act
director in a merely formal manner,
as 1t was necessary to have five names
with the understanding that my con-
nection with the restaurant was to
end with that"
OLIVER RETURNED STOCK
Notwithstanding the delight of the
l4fA of A~rfI cot
after the adjournment that it was of
no consequence. as Oliver had Endorsed
his one share Immediately and handed
1t back to Edward Marchand.
Oliver was also questioned as to
his friendship with ]. J. Dwyer, Of
whom he testified in injured tones:
He cuts me now
''Why is that?" was asked in some
surprise.
He seems to think that it is not
proper to speak to a member of the
Grand Jury" was the reply.
In explanation of DIVERS interest
in the prosecution of the grafters
Heney remarked:
He helped to run Buckley out of
here many years ago."
HENEY WAS A WITNESS
The frontal attack upon Morris A.
Levingston was continued yesterday,
that he was lawyer and political
adherent of Ruef. gave his addition
to the rather curious testimony al
ready introduced inthis. matter that
Livingston kept a saloon" which the
witness frequented, and that he had
heard Livingston remark that Ruef
and Schmitz were "grafters." that they
were out for the stuff" and that they
were in the habit of INDUCING in
"blackmailing."
In rebuttal of the testimony con-
corning conversations in saloon,
which is all directed at one member
of the Grand Jury and has been intro
duced with commendable skill, the
prosecution will have something to
add later, which may be of interest to
some of the bar conversationalists.
James E. Gordon also was examined
and testified that Heney. in his
speeches TO the Grand Jury, always
used the hypothetical form of state
ment, as: IF you think them guilty.
then it is your duty to bring the in

BLOCKADE J |. K. A
Greatest Ever Known in Du.
Iuth HdfbOr Last
Week
Over 200 Loaded Vessels
Arrive in Port Since
Navigation Opened

The greatest blockade in the history
of navigation at the head of the lakes
is now practically at an end and there
are not now more than two or three
boats at anchor in the harbor await
ing their turn to unload
A week ago there were over thirty
big freighters lying in the lower har-
Dor unable to get a chance at the
docks to unload and at the same time
there was total Of over 100 boats in
the harbor at the docks and elevators.
After the first three boats came into
the harbor on Friday, April 26, two
with coal and one light for grain,
there were no more until early the
next Sunday morning when the long
delayed fleet from the lower lakes
began trailing through the ship canal
at the rate of five an hour until Mon
day noon, when total Of eighty-five
vessels had arrived and more were
continually coming INTO port.
Since the first Of the inter-lake
boats began to arrive there have been
over 200 vessels come into port from
the lower lakes with a total cargo 81
considerably over a million tons. OF
these boats lightweight we're loaded
with coal and about half a million
tons of fuel have now been deposited
on the docks at Duluth and Superior.
The majority of the coal carriers had
been waiting at the sauH for several
weeks and the fuel was badly needed
at the head of the lakes.
The congestion in the local harbor
is nearly at an end and within a few
days normal conditions will prevail.
