SUES SPELLACY TO
: SECURE 100000
&c. S. Young Claims Former ASSo-
Ciate Failed to Observe Part
nership Agreement
REFUSES DEMAND FOR SHARE
Plaintiff Declares Oil Magnate
Denied Right to Equity in
Concerns Promoted

C. S. Young's suit for $500,oO0 dam
ages against T. Spellacy, reputed mil
lionaire oil operator, politician and
once a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor of California,
was begun yesterday before Judge
Monroe of the superior court.
Young asserts that in 1900, 1901 and
1902 he, Spellacy and ]. H. Woods were
partners in oil lands in Kern county.
the firm being known as Spellacy,
Woods & Co.
While he was out of the state in
April, 1902, Young alleges, the partner
ship was dissolved, Spellacy taking
Young's share, SS144S9. Young de-
clares also that Spellacy sold leases
which they owned in common, the
plaintiffs share, one-seventh, bringing
$7S5714, while his share in commissions
resulting from the sale was $4,000.
All of this money, amounting to $24,-
O02 03, Young alleges, Spellacy invested
without his knowledge in developing oil
lands which he leased for a term of
twenty years and in organizing two
oil companies.
These companies were the Illinois
Crude Oil company and the Mascot
Oil company, the former having
capitalization of 100000 and the latter
a capital stock of 100000, and to them,
Young asserts, SpelIacy assigned the
leases which he had obtained.
1t was in November. 1902, according
to Young, that he demanded that Spell
lacy should tell him what had become
of the s24,002.09 which he claims.
Spellacy's answer, Young alleges,
was to tell of the investments he had
made, with the added information that
Young was credited with a one-twelfth
interest in the Illinois Crude Oil COM
pany and a one-eighth interest in the
Mascot Oil company.
In 1907, Young says, Spellacy rem
dered an accounting in writing, saying
that $25, 900 had been invested in the
Illinois company and $4,000 in the
other so arguing from the statement
that he had a one-twelfth interest in
one and an eighth interest in the other,
Young declares his obvious deduction
was that all of his money could not
have been expended as Spellacy told
him.
Then, the plaintiff declares, he de-
manded a just proportion of the stock
in the concerns, and was refused. He
now declares that the stock in the two
companies held by Spellacy is worth
$2,140,000, and he is suing for an ac-
counting, an injunction against Spell
lacy's selling it or transferring any
dividends and damages of $500,000.
Spellacy has entered a general de-
NAL to the charges of Young. Much
of yesterday he sat with a contemptu-
Gus look upon his face, yet being SO
interested that he would not leave the
court room for a moment during the
trial.
Young was on the stand for awhile
and his memory was not as good as
attorneys for Spellacy seemed to wish.
Judge Monroe interfered in the wit
ness behalf several times when mat
ters the lawyers wanted him to recall
could have been found much more
quickly by referring to the books.
Much of the day was used up in the
reading of letters and { ther papers,
most of which were made exhibits
which numbered into the scores.

George C. Luitwieler, the machinist
who is charged with the murder Of his
young wife, was before Police Judge
Williams yesterday for a preliminary
hearing, following which he was bound
over to the superior ceurt.
The first witness called by the prose-
cution, which was represented by
Deputy District Attorney Veitch and
Arthur ]. Hill, was William c.. Dill
lingham, a printer, father of May
Agnes Dillingham;, who narrowly
escaped being killed. The purpose in
calling him as a witness was for the
identification of his daughter, which
he gave in a trembling voice. He
brought out no new facts concerning
the tragedy.
Miss Agnes May Dillingham;, the de-
fendant's sister-in-law, followed her
father on the stand. She was dressed
in mourning for her dead sister, and
her face was a study as she related
the facts of the Sunday morning
tragedy in the little cottage of the fam
lily at 1134 North State street.
AS the young girl answered the ques-
tions put to her by Attorneys Hill and
Veitch, she easily maintained her COM
posure, but on croSs-examination by
Attorney Earl Rogers for the defense
she sensed opposition, and several
times nearly broke down under the
strain.
Luitwieler sat throughout the entire
proceeding entirely hidden from view
from the witnesses. Only once during
the hearing did he give way to his
emotions, and that was when Attorney
Rogers asked Miss Dillingham; if she
remembered when an eXpressman
called at the house for trunk, telling
him not to forget the rope so that
George could hang himself-the sooner
ne's out of the way the better" The
girl answered that she could not re-
member any such conversation but the
prisoner burst into bitter weeping. His
brother, sitting near him, succeeded in
comforting him.
The girl related the facts preceding
the shooting and how the husband had
come down to breakfast the morning
of the tragedy. She told how she had
been ordered to leave by her brother
in-law the night before she and her
sister were shot.
Patrolman LaBerge, who assisted in
placing Luitwieler under arrest; Au
topsy Surgeon George w. Campbell and
Detective Ben S. Mccain were called
as witnesses. l.....t--...l

TO THWART
PLAN OF LEGISLATURE
Majority at Denver Threaten to
Defeat Purpose of Special
Lawmaking Session

DENVER, Aug. 9.-As a prelude to
the special session of the state legis-
iature, which convened at noon today, a
caucus by the Democratic members of
the senate appears to be the real issue.
The Democrats in control are divided
as to the wisdom of the special session,
called by Governor Shaffroth, in the
hope of redeeming seven prediction
pledges
The minority, members of which
claim toS favor the enactment of the
pledges for the initiative, referendum,
recall, bank guaranty, railway COM
mission, Australian ballot and direct
primaries, so far have refused TO enter
into a caucus and be bound by the sem
ate majority.
AS a retaliatory measure the majority
threatens to ask for an early adjourn
ment, thus defeating the purpose of the
legislative session.
An attempt probably will be made to
hold a senate caucus some time tomor-
row. Then the real fight will begin.
At the regular session of the Sew
enteenth assembly no action was taken
on the seven party pledges for which
the extra session is called. To further
complicate the matter, Republican leg
islators say they win align themselves
with the majority Democrats, though
the minority is in favor of the tnitia-
tive and referendum.
