DIES SUDDENLY
Capitalist and Well Known Resi-
dent of Oakland Answers
Final Summons

OAKLAND, Aug. 20.-Charles II. King,
capitalist and we'll known resident, died
this afternoon at his home, 1929 Sixth
avenue. Six months ago he suffered a
severe stroke of nervous prostration.
His demise this afternoon was sudden
and unexpected.
King was a native of New York,
came to California in 1859 and, after
fitting himself for teacher by course
at Sotoyome institute, taught school for
time in this state and then went to
the Sandwich islands, where he re-
mained for two years. following his
profession as an instructor He re-
turned to California in 1865 and located
in Trinidad. where he taught school
1t was while in Trinidad that he en-
gagged with Joseph Russ in the pur-
chase of lands in California and Mexico.
The partners amassed large fortunes
through their real estate transactions.
King was one of the incorporators of
the California redwood company, at
one time the largest concern dealing in
redwood lumber and redwood lands in
California. In 1884 King purchased the
san Lorenzo rancho of $4,000 acres in
Monterey county. Kings City in that
county is named after the dead capital
list. King was also extensively inter
ested in mining properties and in realty
| in this city. He was the president of
the Rivers and Harbors league of Cali
fornia. He was one of the first to sug-
gest the construction of big hotel in
this city
L King is survived by his wife who be-
fore her marriage was Miss Kate Brown
of Yreka, and the following children.

in law, Police Judge Weller. had spok-

Perrin's attorney, Reuben Lloyd, had
also said that Perrin wanted to ap-
pear The request had been put before
the grand jury and that body had de-
clined to hear Perrin.
Black assured Senator stone that he
had every reason to believe Perrin
guilty of the crime and cited the rec
ord of Perrins codefendant, John A.
Benson, as an argument.
1t was brought out that after Harr
had made his report Attorney General
Wlckersham advised that the prosecu-

Smell Escapes

Superior Judge Murasky has rem
dered Judgment perpetually enjoining
Police Judge Shortall from trying or
taking any action in connection with
the charges of perjury against Charles
T. Smell sworn to by DR.. f. B. Perrin.
Ihere were seven charges against Smell
based on alleged false statements he
was said to have made in the trial of
Perrin for conspiracy to defraud the
United States government of land. The
alleged perjury was committed in the
United States court. The seven charges
were in the name of 1.-The people of
the state of California"
Judge Murasky prohibited Judge
Shortan from trying the charges on
the ground of lack of Jurisdiction, rul-
ing that the informations should have
been sworn out in the name of tn~
United States of America. AS more than
three years have elapsed since the trial
of Perrin the statute of Limitation
prevents the swearing out of new
charges.
Smell was before Judge Shortall on
many occasions last year during a
period of seven months. and the. judge
was just about to hold him for trial
by the superior court when a temporary
writ of prohibition was obtained by
his attorneys, H. NJ. Anthony and James
H. Boyer The superior judge now
makes the writ perpetual Barclay

clared Stone.
There was no more disturbance dur
ing the day, but Black started some
thing in the afternoon that sounded
dangerous, but was not noticed.
When Henley opened his cross ex-
animation he set out to dispute Black S
earlier assertion that he had no rea-
son to question SneIrs absolute hon
esty and good faith" To do that. Hen :
ley read from an affidavit made by Smell
at williams, Ariz., after the Perrin
trial, in which the affiant contradicted
important features of the story he had
told before the grand jury and on the
witness stand
What do you say to that?' chal-
Ienged Henley.
Il would say replied Black, that
Smell, for bribe of $4,000, would make
missta tements in a paper prepared be-
fore no tribunal with power to inves-
tigate."
WEAK CREATURE, SAYS BLACK
Henley did not take up the reference
to the .'bribe of sS,000," but pressed
Black further on the matter of Smells
Integrity. Il never said" the federal
attorney explained, that / regarded
Smell as a paragon of virtue and a
model of integrity, and | freely say
that he is a weak and vacillating crea-
ture." He added that he had every
reason to believe that Smell testified
honestly before the grand jury and in
court.
stone wanted to know if any immu-
nity had been granted to Smell, and
Black said that no contract of immu1
nifty had been given him.
In beginning his examination OF
Black. Stone started with the attor-
news first knowledge of the Perrin
Benson case Black said that he had
first heard of it from William J. Burns
in the fall of 1905. Black said thai
prior to the return of the indictment
he had not had more than 10 minutes
talk with Burns on the case, but that
Burns had brought in Smell, who, knew
of the entire transaction Smell was IN
the employ of the land Office and was
used by Black subsequently on the
Perrin Benson case. From Smell ano
Burns Black heard the expressive term
grease money" which was the eu-
phemism employed by John A. Benson
to express a bribe. Black said that the
contract between Benson and Perrin
was enough TO convince him that there
was a fraudulent transaction. The
contract itself was enough for an in
dictment," said Black.
