SCHMlTz PRESENTS
Ills NEW SURFTIES
Several Relatives of Former
Mayor Under Indictment
Qualify on Bond
William j. Dingee Retires as
Surety Rather Than Under
go Examination
Schmitz' New SuretieS

Rather than submit TO an investiga-
tion OF his present financial status,
william J.. Dingee, millionaire cement
man and promoter. now involved in
financial difficulties, withdrew as a
bondsman for Eugene E. Schmitz, the
indicted ex-mayor of San Francisco,
in Judge Dunne's court yesterday
morning. Dingee's action brought
Schmftz's relatives into the limelight
as his new sureties. The majority of
his new bondsmen came from Watson
vile. Santa Cruz county.
Jere DriscoH, who qualified in the
sum of $4,000, is Schmitzs brother in
law Mrs Driscoll, who qualified in
the sum of $4,000, is the eX-mayor' s
mother in law. For years the Dris-
coils have been engaged in fruit rails
ing in the Pajaro valley.
John Murphy, also of Watsonville,
operates a farm adjoining that of the
Driscolls and is intimately acquainted
with the relatives of Schmitz He Of
fered bonds in the sum of SIC, 600. The
other bondsmen are Edward Dufield
Of San Francisco, $4,000; Mrs. Anna
T. Haynes of San Francisco, $4,000;
Miss Margaret Driscoll of Watson
vile, $1,000, and Miss Nellie Dinan of
san Francisco, sister of the former
police chief, $4,000.
Each of the new sureties was eX-
amined by Assistant District Attorney
Deasy. Attorney Frank Drew for
SchmitZ. and Judge Dunno. Valuable
apple orchards and ranches in the
famous Pajaro valley were pledged for
the appearance Of Schmitz to answer
all of the charges made against him in
II indictments.
It was with considerable reluctance
that Dingee withdrew from the bonds
OF Schmitz. for had the examination of
Dingee been waived by the court the
change of sureties would probably have
not taken place. All told, Dingee be-
came surety for Schmitz in the sum
of 100000 after the eX-mayor was in
dicted. OF this amount, $4,000 was
given in Judge Dunnes court and il
was this amount that Dingee with
drew from yesterday The recent
financial difficulties encountered by
Dingee which caused him to turn over
properties to William II.
Crocker, made his exact financial stand
ing somewhat doubtful and the court
declared that Dingee should offer no
hesitation in submitting to an eXamina-
ton as to his financial status
W. NJ. Cannon, attorney for Dingee,
declared that the millionaire believed
himself capable of resuming financial
responsibility for $4,000 in bonds for
the indicted ex-mayor, but at the same
time Dingee did not desire to undergo
an examination. which. he declared,
might benefit his business enemies. The
court ruled that Dingee must submit
to the examination or voluntarily
withdraw.
