MRS. BOYER MAKES
PERJURY CHARGES
Suit Against Gelhaus Said to
Have Been Handicapped by
False Affidavits
Cross Complaint of Bank Char
acterized as "Libelous Sup=
plement" to Answer

The many harsh accusations thrown
back and forth between the parties IN
the suit of Mrs. l.. l. Boyer against
Frank a. Gelhaus and others were
capped yesterday with charge OF
perjury made by Mrs. Boyer against
the defendants, Gelhans. his wife and
the Hibernia savings bank. This al
legation was made in answer to the
cross complaint of the bank.
Mrs. Boyer, whose answer was pre-
pared by her husband and attorney,
James III. Boyer, affirmed that for Is
months she had been endeayorlnS TO
bring the suit to trial, but that the
defendant persistently combated her
efforts through the medium OIL per-
jured affidavits, motions, restraining
orders and pretended cross complaints.
The cross complaint of the Hlbernla
bank she denied to be such, saying IL
was merely "libeIous supplement. 10
the answer filed for the purpose of
deceivfng the court The allegation
of the bank that Mrs. Boyer's assign
ment of rents of the property in DIS
pute to one f. w. Crudace was part
of an unconscionable scheme to harrass
Gelhaus and his wife" is denied by the
plaintiff.
The property involved is situated III
Shotwell street near Twenty eighth.
Frank A. Gelhaus and his wife bought
it and occupied it for years, and
thought it belonged to them. But Mrs.
Boyer claims it under delinquent tax
sale. The property is said to be worth
more than $4,000, but one +. j. Ghiselli
bought it at the tax sale for s116.1O.
His title was afterward acquired by
Mrs. Boyer through her lawyer hus-
band. and the suit is to have title
quieted in her favor and against the
Gelhaus family. The Hibernia bank,
which lent Gelhaus $4,000 on the land.
is making the fight against Boyer and
his wife. Gelhaus says he is an un-
lettered carpenter, and in buying the
property he relied upon the reports of
the Title insurance and guaranty COM
pany and the City abstract company
that the title was good.

Henry Root. who was called to the
stand in the afternoon. described the
building of the Market street cable
road in 1888 and said that the Market
street. cable conduit was scarcely dam
aged after the fire. He explained the
workings of the various cables from
tie Valencia street power house and
said that the slots were open all the
way. were not filled with debris and
that there could have been nothing 20
prevent the running of the cable cars
after the streets were cleared.
An effort was made TO show on cross
examination that because of the set
Ting of lower Market street and the
rehlling to bring it UP to proper grade
the tracks would have to be raised
considerably.
Root said that no change would
have been necessary in the grade be-
yond First street. and then il was
shown that the whole roadbed in Mar
ket street from Van Ness avenue TO
Twelfth street was raised about four
years ago.

TESTIMONY As TO PERMIT
Former Supervisor Edward r. Rock
was called and told of applications
made by Calhoun for a trolley permit
in 1905 and of the discussions held in
the board, concerning the matter.
James d. Pltelans testimony was
along much the same line. He told of
the interest in the conduit system
taken by the property owners and how
he. as president of the association for
the Improvement and adornment OF San
Francisco and as a member of the
Sutter street Improvement club, was
present at several conferences with
Calhoun.
Calhoun. according to Phelan, ad-
mitted that the conduit system was
practical and feasible, but urged that
ii was only about so per cent as eff
cient as the overhead trolley type Cal
houn. lie said, substantially agreed,
after several conferences in March,
] 90e, to install the underground sys-
TEN in Sutter street to Powell and
out Market as far Valencia street.
OFFER FOR TROLLEY PERMIT
Then a newspaper article concerning
these conferences was. published and
Calhoun at once broke off all nego-
tiations. Calhoun at this time openly
favored the overhead trolley. and
after practically agreeing to con-
cede to a certain extent to the de-
msnds of property owners said thai
/ il was not the matter of initial cost
which appealed TO him. He offered
! if the trolley system would be ac-
ceptable to the property owners, to
pay over the difference in cost between
that and the conduit systems which he
estimated would be about $2O0,000, to
some charity or TO the fund for the
! extension of the park panhandle.
Phelan Will be recalled to the stand
when the case is resumed this morning
