INTEREST INTENSE
IN TRIAL OF HATCH
Prosecution Has Difficulty in
Bringing Home to Defendant
Specific Embezzlements
Especial Dispatch to The Call

SAN JOSE, Dec 11.-During the two
weeks of the trial of Jackson Hatch,
the San Jose attorney accused of the
embezzlement of $4,000 from the es-
tate of Henry Sage, interest has been
intense among the spectators at the
court. The entire time to date has been
taken up with the examination of Mrs.
Sarah Il. Sage, the complaining witness,
widow of the deceased capitalist, and of
Hatch. the defendant
In no single instance has the prose-
cution been able to particularize about
what items of the statement of account
prepared by Hatch have been embez-
zled. Mrs. Sage has declared that the
anairS Were so far in the control of the
attorney that she knew nothing what
ever about the condition of the estate.
The counsel for the defense, Walter
Linforth of San Francisco has been en-
deavorfng to bring out the fact that
several times the widow lent to the de-
PENDANT sums of money in lots of from
$500 to $1,000, accepting Hatch's note
for the loans, but permitting the Dor
rover to retain the notes.
Hatch managed the estate since 1901.
Mrs Sage had confidence in his stew
ardship until November of last wear.
She had given him full power of attor-
ney to manage the affairs and on that
fact the defense is depending to free
the accused attorney.
In spite of his assumed air of indif-
ference Hatch has been watching the
progress of the trial closely. He has
not let the illness which he is said to
be suffering from impair his close at
tention to the proceedings. Practically
he is his own lawyer, so closely does
he watch the proceedings and so fire.
ouently does he advise his attorney. 1t
was claimed that Hatch's eyesight was
seriously affected. but he has not let
that reputed trouble prevent him from
giving the most untiring attention to
his defense.

BIG GERMAN LINER
RAMMED IN FOG
WHILE ANCHORED
Roy del CastelIe PIOws Deep
Hole in KrOnprinz Wilhelm,
Off st. George, S. |.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-While lying
at anchor IN thick fog off ST. George,
Staten Island, this morning, the big
North German Lloyd transatlantic
liner Kronprinz Wilhelm was rammed
by the New York and Continental Line
steamship Roy del Castelle and big
hole gashed in her stern.
Immediately the impact was felt, the
Kronprinz Wilhelm's captain gave
orders to lock the doors of all the
cabins. Most of the passengers had
not yet left their staterooms and they
were in a state bordering on panic.
Women became hysterical and tho
stewards mad their hands full quieting
their fears
The first warning of the impending
collision came from Joseph Bruss, a
second saloon passenger, who was
standing on the after deck The Kron-
prinz had left Quarantine about Z
O'Clock. but had been forced to anchor
because of the heavy mist, which pre-
vented the lookouts seeing a cables
length ahead
Bruss suddenly saw the Roy del Cas-
telle loom up out of the fog. making
straight for the stern of the Kron
prinz He yelled warning, but almost
before the sound had left his lips the
steamship smashed into the German
vessel, the force of the collision making
the big ship careen.
Those of the passengers who had
left their berths came rushing wildly
up the companionways. Their fears
We're quickly quieted by the officers and
sailors, and they were ordered below.
Meanwhile the Roy del Castelle had
backed away with her bow plates badly
smashed Under the oyerhang of /. the
Kronprinz was a huge hole ten or fif-
teen feet square and penetrating fully
| fifteen feet into the stewards quarters.
The thick steel walls had been ripped
to pieces, and Henry Michaelson, one
of the stewards, was Thrown from his
berth, and badly hurt.

GENERALS FIGHT
FATAL PISTOL DUEL
At CLOSE RANGE
SmirnOff Fails When He and
FOck Meet at 20 PAGES in
St. Petersburg.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1S.--Lieu-
tenant-G General Snlirnoff was probably
fatally wounded in a duel fought here
this morning with Lieutenant-G General
Fock The men met in the riding
school of the Chevalier Guard Regiment
and fought with pistols, twenty PAGES
separating them when shots were fired.
The duel was caused by the memo-
randum written by General Smirnoff
on the siege of Port Arthur, in which
he questioned the courage of General
Fock. The latter considered that his
honor and reputation were involved and
challenged the author of the memoran-
dunn.
General Smirnoff was acting COM
mandant of the Port Arthur fortress
during the siege and at the time OF its
surrender to the japanese. After his
return TO Russia he prepared a secret
report of the defense of Port Arthur,
which was the basis of the indictments
on which Lieutenant General Stoessei,
LieurSnant-G General Fock and Major
General Reiss were tried for their lives
before the Supreme Court-martial.
General Stoessel was accused of cow
ardice and incapaoity, and General
Fock, according to the in6'ct ment, dis
played thorough incapacity and want
of judgment.
The outcome of the trial was the sem
fencing to death of General Stoessel.
which finding was later commuted to
ten years Imprisonment, while General
Fock was, ordered to be reprimanded
for a disciplinary offense.
General Smirnoff also was on trial
before the eourt-martial charged with
having failed to remove General Fock
from the command. although he sus-
pected an agreement between Generals
Stoessel and Fock to surrender the
fortress. He was acquitted Of this
charge.

Mr. Cleveland has been besieged by
