BLAKE ON VERGE OF
NERVOUS COLLAPSE
Important Witness Too Sick to
Give Testimony in Trial of
Attorney Newburgh
Evidence Given at the Former
Trial Is Read to the
Jurors

Convicted of jury bribing and SEN
fenced TO serve four years in San
Quentin, E. A. S. Blake, the states
important witness in the case against
Adolph S. Newburgh, is on the verge
of complete breakdown. Two physi-
clans have been attending Blake at the
county jail and his condition became
so serious yesterday that the New
burgh trial proceeded without Blake,
his testimony in the former trial be-
ing read into the record by the prose-
cution and defense attorneys.
In a statement made by Blake sew
eral days ago when he appeared in
Judge Conley's court to give his testi-
mony against Newburgh he declared
that since the acquittaf OF Frank Muir
ply on a charge of attempted jury
bribing his physical condition has
gradually grown worse until he has
been unable to see visitors or to ap-
pear in court.
IN PENITENT MOOD
1T seems peculiar" said Blake when
he last appeared in court, that a jury
would have any doubt as to whether
this crime was committed I have told
all in this case that know and now
/ am going TO serve my sentence and
atone for the wrong tnat I have done
this community. Surely no person can
believe that L was alone in this plot to
bribe John Martin Kelly. / cleared my
mind of all that knew about the case,
regardless of either Murphy or New
burgh, and although I was assured by
them that nothing would come of the
investigation, 1 confessed my part in
the transaction and am now about to
suffer the consequences. 1 do not see
why I alone should suffer-"
The reading of Blakes testimony
yesterday recalled the proceedings of
the day which Blake spent on the
stand in the previous Newburgh trial.
He faced vigorous cross examination
by the defense, but told the same story
that he had related in his confession
and at the Murphy trial. His testi-
mony yesterday covered his connection
with Murphy and Newburgh, when he
was first sounded by the Ruef attor-
neys as to how John Martin Kelly
would stand, and was subsequently Of
fered $1,000 which would be given to
Kelly with the proviso that Kelly
qualify on the Ruef jury and stand
out for acquittal
VOLUMINOUS TESTIMONY
Assistant District Attorney Hanley
read the direct examination of Blake
yesterday and the cross examinatio

ing. viii go into the court records to-
day.
1t became so hot in Judge Conley's
court yesterday afternoon that short
recesses were frequently ordered by
the court. incidentally Judge Conley
paused to remark that better quarters
ought to be provided for the court.

.DfFUNCT BANK IS
SUED FOR $4,000
Western Pacific's Suit Against
California Safe Deposit and
Trust Company on Trial
Asserts Big Sums Received
After Institution Was Known
to Be InsOlvent

The heaviest of the preferred claims
against the California safe deposit and
trust company-that of the Western
Pacific railway company for $4,000
came before Judge Seawell for trial
yesterday. OF the sum claimed $4,000
was in the form of drafts deposited
by the railway company with the bank
a few days before it closed and turned
over to the Anglo Californian bank for
collection. The other $40, 600 represent
ed part of the proceeds of a draft de-
posted by the railway company and
sold by the safe deposit company to
the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The
Western Pacific claimed that the actual
coin realized from the sale of this draft
was traceable back to the coin trays
of the insolvent bank.
Warren Olney Jr, attorney for the
Western Pacific, furnished testimony
yesterday to establish that the bank
was insolvent when the deposits were
made by the railway company. w. d.
Evans. auditor of the Western Pacific,
said that none of the officers of the
railway company knew of the condi-
tion of the bank except Walter Bart
nett and ]. Dalzell Brown, who were
officers of both companies.
Receiver lie Breton was questioned
as to the value of the securities and
as to their manipulation by the officials
of the bank. He was asked II the Of
ficers did not embezzle securities and
answered yes" but was not permitted
to go into details.
The trial viii be resumed next
Wednesday.
Sues to Collect Bet
r. B. Dawson, a Fillmore street
saloon keeper, related to Judge Seaweil
yesterday the circumstances of an elec-
tion bet that he made in November,
1907, when William III. Langdon was
running against Frank MCGOWAN for
district attorney and asked the judge to
order the receiver of the California
safe deposit and trust company to pay
him $500 be claimed to be still due on
the bet. Dawson bet Frank A. Daroux
$1,000 against $500 that Langdon would
beat MCGOWAN.
Dawson's check for $1,000 and Da-
rouX check for $500 were deposited
with the Fillmore street branch of the
bank as stake holder, the money to
be paid to the winner of the wager.
The larger check was collected by the
branch bank and after the election the
$1,000 was paid over to Dawson. The
$500 check went to the head office and
was turned over to the Anglo Cali
fornian bank for collection. 1t had not
been collected when the California safe
deposit and trust company suspended
payment.
Dawson petitioned the receiver for
the sum, contending that 1t was pre-
ferred claim. Receiver LIE Breton,
through his attorneys, De Laveaga and
Magee, resisted the claim yesterday on
the ground that it was a gambling debt
and could not be recovered. They urged
that the money should be distributed
among the creditors of the bank
We'll. l don't care about the $500
myself" remarked Dawson when his
petition was opposed on the ground
that it was a gambling claim. Il will
give it TO charity and the judge can
name the institution"
The petition was taken under sub
| mission by Judge Seawell.

MOTORIST NELSON
FPUDIAT[S SCHEME
President OF San Francisco Club
Objects to Publishers
Using His Name
Declares That He Has No C0n=
nection With Automobile
Blue Book
By r. r. PHonimedieu

The gigantic strides that the automo-
bile industry has made as commercial
proposition seem to have made those
wish to cater to them a mark for all
kinds of schemes to get some of the
money that is supposed easily acquired
In handling motor cars. The latest
scheme in this city is blue book, the
name supposedly carrying "ciass" with
IT. The scheme has been launched by
firm doing business under the name
of the H. H. Dempsey company, Mills
building. Letters have been sent broad
cast to the dealers telling in glowing
terms what the book will be and that
it is sanctioned by Fernando Nelson.
president of the San Francisco motor
club. These letters are signed by the
company's name per A Wheeler. The
use of Nelson's name in connection
with the publication has brought out
the following letter from the president
of the club:
Editor Call: IT has just been called to my
attention that the solicitors for and publishers
OF SO called automobile blue book of Cali
fornla are making wholly fraudulent and un-
warranted use of my name in securing sup
pvt 1iom lne merchants, DuSlneSSIneH anu dH-
tomob1le dealers of this CITY, and l write to
quest that you give the matter publicity
through your columns.
Taking advantage of my official position as
president of the San Francisco motor club, and
of the fact that such l interested in the
publication Of the clubs tour book, these men
have stated verbally and in letters to the
people upon whom they have called. that the
compilation OF their touring dates, maps, ETC.,
was under my supervision. Such is not the
case They called upon and attempted to
secure my Endorsement of their publication. but
was unfavorably impressed with their scheme
and declined to have anything TO do with it,
fearing an attempt to defraud the business
public. BY their unwarranted and fraudulent
use OF my name they have apparently justified
that apprehension.
| wish you would state for me as emphati-
cally as possible that / have never approved
or sanctioned this called .biue book nor
have | agreed to furnish any information for
any such publication except the tour book which
the San Francisco motor club is issuing, and the
information for which will be passed upon by
the touring committee Of the club of which /
am member.
am sure that any proposition which needs
FOSTERING up by the stolen use of a club
ofncIaIs name merits and will receive the
disapprobation of your paper-a stable and per-
manent public servant.
Thanking you In advance for your services
In this connection, both personally and as pres,
ident of the San Francisco motor club. 1 beg
to remain, very truly yours.
