NICK OSWALD TELLS
OF PAYING BRIDES
Los Angeles Judge Admits Evil
denCe at Trial OF Former
Police Chief BrOadhead
Witness Says Part of Money
Was INTENDED for Harper
and Produces Checks

Los ANGELES. Aug. S.-The advan-
tage gained today by the attorneys for
former Chief Of Police Broadhead dur
ing the morning session of his trial
for accepting brides was lost at the
afternoon session when Judge Davis
admitted evidence which he had tenn
pOrariIy ruled not admissible during
the morning session.
The evidence. over which bitter
Broadhead. was in regard TO the pay
ments OF money to former Chief OF POI,
lice Edward Kern after July, 190A
The attorneys for BrOadhead argued
that evidence relating TO payments sub
sequent to the date of those alleged
to have peen paid 70 BrOadhead for
the alleged acceptance of which he
is being tried. might not be admitted.
When Judge Davis permitted such
evidence to be given. Nick Oswald
who has been on the stand for three
days. testified that he paid Kern money
in July. 1908. with the understand
ing that portions of 1t were to 90 to
former Mayor Harper. Checks alleged
to have been paid by Oswald were
admitted in evidence. The prosecution
will attempt to prove that a conspiracy
existed between Harper, Kern. Broad
head and others.
Testimony in regard TO the payment
Of $1,000 to Broadhead BY Oswald
was given by the witness earlier, n
the day. The cross examination o{
Oswald will begin tomorrow.

FINDS ROYAL LINEAGE
FOR KATHERINE ELKINS
Woman Traces Her Descent
Through Many Italian Kings

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The royal blood
of a line of italian kings courses
through the veins of Senator Henry G..
Davis of West Virginia and conse-
quently Miss Katherine Elkins, his
granddaughter, whose reported en-
gagement to the duke of the Abbruzzi
excited two continents, is of royal
lineage.
Mrs. Albert Levin Richardson of
Baltimore, who has been in London
for two years making researches in
reference to the origin of seventeenth
century American colonists of the up
per classes. has discovered that Sena-
tor Davis forebears trace their descent
back to S14 A. d., in the time of
Charlemagne, through many genera
lions of Italian kings. Mrs. Richard
son, who is public record commits
sioner of the state of Maryland sub
mitted her proofs to the Herald's col
lege in London and after the docu-
ments were vigorously examined the
proofs were passed as absolutely i'm
peccable. This fact is now recorded
in the archives of the Herald's college
and a certificate to this effect has been
granted to Mrs. Richardson.
Neither Senator Davis nor Senator
Elkins, father of Miss Katherine Ell
kinss are said to be cognizant of this
discovery, which may have an effect on
the Italian opposition to the young
womans marriage to the duke of the
Abbruzzi.

WILL OBJECT TO

Attorney for BARNETT Will OPP
pose Petition to be Made
by Receiver
Estimate of lie Breton OF Value
Of California Safe Deposit
and Trust Company

Oscar Cooper. attorney for Walter
j. BARNETT. whose plan for the re-
organization of the defunct California
safe deposit and trust company was
rejected by Receiver LIE Breton Thurs
day after several conferences. declared
yesterday that he. with many other
depositors. would appear before SUI
perior Judge SeaweIl August 16 and
oppose LIE Breton's application for per-
mission to pay a dividend of 10 per
cent.
VALUE OF ASSETS
LIE Bretons estimate of the value
of the assets does not in any way meet
the approval of the reorganizers.
Cooper prepared a statement yester-
day which he believes will prove the
fallacy of lie Breton's estimate. Fol-
lowing are Cooper's figures:
Receivers estimate of total assets 94o. 42e. 20
Cash on hand .....-...-..-....... S1O,Il0.56
Assets, less cash ............. Sc. o2s. no. As
Estimate of value Of Western Pa
ci6c stock ..!-.....-.-...-.... PAS. 900. 90
Leaving all other assets worth. i. 81. 7s4. TIs.4s
The last figures of S1,7S4,71943,'
said Cooper, represent the receivers
total appraisement of everything in
and the 42,o00 shares of Western Pa
cifc stock. In other words, he gives
value of $1,7S4,719.43 to the S40O, 900
worth of bonds held by the bank;
s250,000 cash items; the lot and build
ing at Montgomery and California
streets, worth, according to the re-
ceiver's own estimate. $6OO,O0O; the en-
tire holdings of the Ell Dorado lumber
company, which owns 5000 acres of
standing lumber, a big mill and AZ
miles of railroad; the Carnegie brick
and pottery company, which has earned
S125, 900 a year net, and which, under
the receivers management, Melted
SIS, 900 last year, and which A. NJ. Hunt.
the engineer. estimates to be worth at
least $1,000, 900; and more than $4,000.
900 worth of loans, many of them
worth their face value.
SAYS SCHEME is SOUND
New York financiers do not go into
deals with their eyes closed. and stock
holders in the old company are not
going TO put up money unless they see
an opportunity of benefting them
selves. We know the reorganization Is
sound and we know that it will even
tually take place. What we desire is
a littlestime in which to arrange mat
paid now it would have a tendency to
take customers away from the bank.
for old depositors will have TO put
their money elsewhere, and if our bank
is not open they will go elsewhere"

Brayton, superintendent of the Chill

disposing of children under his care

rotary of the Associated Charities of

knowledged that several Chinese con-
tributed to the support of his society
He said that he never asked for money
from people with whom he placed
children, but admitted that he was not
averse to receiving donations if they
were offered to him.
Brayten said that he did not know
who the parents of Alice Mimic were
although he denied that Mrs. Mimic
of Ukiah had any claim to the child.
He said that the girl was brought to
him in 1904 by two white women, who
went away without telling him their
names. There is no record of the iden-
tfty of these women on the books of
the society.

YELLOW AND WHITE
FOLK WANT CHILD.
Nah Lin Kee Applies for Lett
tiers of Guardianship
Over Alice Mimic
Judge Murasky Satisfied That
Wait Is White Babe Res
cued From Brayton

Yellow and white are in competition
for the guardianship of little Alice
Mimic, for four years known as Nah
Ho, of 81 Spofford alley. Nah Lin Kee,
the Chinese foster father" of the pitt
able little white girl, petitioned yester-
day, through E. l.. Weber, attorney
for the Chinese Six companies, for let
ters of guardianship. But he will be
opposed by Mrs. Louis Witschey and
her mother, Mrs. II. Witschey, and
probably by Mrs. Donoldina Cameron,
of the Presbyterian Chinese mission.
Persons interested in the fate of the
child assembled in Judge Murasky's
chambers at the Juvenile court yester-
day, when the Judge investigated the
case and continued it until next Fri
day. He wished to learn through what
influences the Chinese secured the
child from II. w. Brayton, superintend-
ent of the home finding society Of
Berkeley.
The center of an interracial strug-
gle. little Alice Mimic was bashful and
reticent yesterday.
CHILD PROVES BAsHFUL
Judge Murasky examined her through
the interpreter OF the mission The
child could not remember the Wit
scheys.
Il have a little brother in China 10
years of age and my father is a
rancher; he raises potatoes said the
girl, in answer to questions regarding
her family.
who, told you that you have a
brother in China?" asked the judge.
My parents; have never seen
him. responded Alice.
Through an interpreter Judge Mu-
rasky subjected Nah Lin Kee. the "fos-
ter father to a long examination, put
ting questions until Nah Lin sought
refuge behind his attorney.
Nah Chez, a Chinese woman. Sc
cured the child for u.s. said Nah Lin
Kee. My wife had two children. but
they both died. She was delicate and
l wanted child who would be COM
pany for her."
Why didn't you get Chinese
child:" asked the judge.
TEN DOLLARS PAID FOR CHILD
Nah Chez said she would get girl
of the Chinese type. She brought the
child to us. We paid $40 for expenses.
Once the child and my wife went to
the country to see me and the child
was arrested. and after that L never
sent the child out very much.''
The Chinese denied that the base
ment in Spofford alley. where the child
was kept, was an opium den.
I'VE can not afford to hire an attor-
ney to press our petition for the
child" said Mrs. II. Witschey, mother
of the former Mrs. Mimic, but only
God knows how much l love the child"
The woman's eyes filled with tears at
the mention of the plight of the little
one.
Judge Murasky satisfied himself that
the child was not Chinese and fur
thermore, that 1T was the identical
child once held by the Minto- Witschey
families.
