TIIE LEGAL liATTLE RESUMED AT
SALEM, MASS.
Edward F. Soarles Testifies Concern
ins; tho Marrfago Settlement
and tho Copartnership.
Spocia! to Ihe Ri:cokd-TTniox.
Sai.km Mass.), Oct. 21.—The hearing of
the Searles will case was resumed this
morning with Edward V. Searlcs on the
stand. L. S. Dabney appeared for the
first time with counsel for the will and
Russell .1. Wilson of San Francisco joined
the counsel for contestants.
At the opening Burley, for contest
ants, asked Mr. Searles if he knew why
Timothy Hopkins had not been notified
before November sth of the proposed
marriage. He replied that he never dic
tated to .Mrs. Hopkins anything in re
gard to her son. n e first hoard of the
marriage settlement from Mrs. Hopkins.
Witness objected to a marriage settle
ment aft or the English style, as it looked
too much like buying a husband. Wit
ness did not read the paper when it was
signed. Ho was told that it was a niar
-cttlernent, but knew it could not
impose any giving by him to her, as he
had nothing in particular to give by a
marriage settlement, iiis wife probably
knew k^. contents, as sho had caused it to
be made, He did not know whether
there had ix en anything paid as compen
sation for a trustee under this marriage
settlement. Witness never opened let-
U ra addressed to his wife before mar
riage and none without her permission
since.
Mr. Barley hero called for the diaries
kept by Mrs. Searles while in Europe.
Mr. stillman came lo Methuen on their
return, and saw Mm. Searles on business
matters. At the lime of the marriage
witness heard Mrs. iiopkins speak of the
peril to her property, and wished Still
man to go to California to look the matter
up. His report after returning was that
the property was in good shape.
The lirst suggestion of copartnership
came from Stillman, at the suggestion of
Mrs. Soarlfs, to tho effect that she would
like some arrangement made to manage
her business. Witness did not read the
copartnership papers, as he had ooofi
denoe in the party who drew them. His
wife never to hi* knowledge took inde
pendent advice hi regard to the matter.
Witness knew that some California prop
erty had been deeded-to him, tho deeds
running direct from hi* wife, although
unrecorded deeds of the same property
wore in existence. Witness did not un
derstand that the lawyers were to have
;i year in any event, bat they were
to have ten per cent, of the Income. He
understood that ten per cent, for the at
torneys of loth ■no ota and income of the
partnership were lor their services.
Mr. Barley pnt in the will of Edward
F. Searles, made on the same date as that
of his wife, now in contest, on -July 10th.
it left ;ill his property to his wife.
Ail the real .state* witness stated, was
in his name, bat the deeds were unre
corded. He had not attempted to trans
fer and made no papers or declarations of
trust in regard to them since his wife's
death, and the matter had not been dis
cussed in his presence. Hedid not know
of his wife signing more than one codicil
to the will after marriage, and there were
no other wills than those showu. It was
suggested before they left for Europe
that deeds lie made t<> witness. lie did
not make the suggestion, and did not
know who did. The papers were ox
ecuted before they left, as Mr. Siillman
was t<> go U> California to look up the
property.
A letter received at Nice with deeds
was produced. The letter gave as the
lor making tho deeds that the
tit:.-was in Still man's name, and the in
sured title was not. lie had a re
pugnanceto recording the marriage set
tlement.
At the afternoon session Mr. Burley
asked witness if he was aware that Still
man and Hubbard had a voico in the
kind of securities which they could with
draw. He replied (hat be knew they
could draw that amount. Witness had
his name left off the office door to relieve
bim from ■■-- large number of applicants of
ad and another, as he was not to be
..n active partnor, Mrs. Searles wishing
bim to attend to domestic affairs. When
•.•■d the supplemental agreement he
understood the Great Barrington estate
was exempt from the co-partnership

ing his record. His quarters were: 0:33!,

SAN FRANCISCO GRAND JURY.
Two Indictments Found Acalnst As
semblyman JJruner.
Sax Francisco, Oct. 21.—Tho Grand
Jury late this afternoon made a partial
report to Superior Judge Wallace. The
report consisted of the finding of two in
dictments against Assemblyman Elwood
Bruner of Sacramento. One indictment
charges Bruner with the crime of per
jury, committed while giving testimony
in tho Grand Jury-room. The other in
dictment charges Bruner with malfeas
ance in office during the late session of
the Legislature. The malfeasance con
sisted in killing the bill providing for
cinching cut-rate brokers, particularly in
the case of ticket broker Ottinger of this
city, who accuses Bruner of attempting,
in connection with Assemblyman Mc-
Call of Alameda, to blackmail him out of
a thousand dollars.
Judge Wallace ordered bench warrants
issued for the arrest of Bruner, which
was immediately done.
The bail was" fixed at $5,000 on each
charge.
Bruner is the Assemblyman who was
charged with selling positions on the San
Francisco police force. The Legislative
Committee investigated the case and re
turned a majority report of guilty, with
extenuating circumstances. Tho "Legis
lature refused to receive the report of the
committee, and so vindicated Bruner.

him at all.

gation into the affair and punish all
Chileans who are shown to have taken
part in the assault on our men. So far n.t?
tho matter has already been looked into,
all facts go to prove that gross cruelty
was practiced upon the Americans, and
! that the murderous assault was altogether
unprovoked.
Every < Government official who has ex
pressed any opinions on the subject lias
said that he regretted the occurrence very
much, and hoped that tho aggressors
would be severely punished.
An investigation by Captain Schley
conlirms the report that the mob was
composed of Chilean sailors and boat
men, and that the attack was planned.
It is now alleged that Kegan was shot by
a policeman. The American sailors were
assaulted, at various points throughout
the city. A number of foreigners, not
Americans, will testily to the Killing of
itegan. 'in justice to the Chileans, it
must bo said, that information has been
recently received to the effect that that a
few ot their army and naval officers and
•seamen displayed bravery in trying to
shield the Baltimore's men from the fury
of the mob. The better educated Chile
ans express great regret at the event. In
no case was one of our men armed, and
all the injured were stabbed in the back.
Captain Schley advises the coming here
of the Admiral to aid by his presence in
seeing that full justice is done to the vic
tims of the cowardly, blood-thirsty rob
bers.
A MORE FRIENDLY FEELING.
London, Oct. 21.—A Valparaiso corre
spondent of the 'Times says: The Chil
ean authorities show a more friendly feel
ing toward the American sailors than
was expected. The Intendente assures
me that the report that the Captain of the
United States warship Baltimore con
sulted him in regard to the safety of land
ing men, is without foundation. The
imprisoned sailors will be released to
morrow, if bail is given. The Chileans
wounded in the riot are doing well.
It is stated that the Santiago Govern
ment is considering the possibility of
granting a general amnesty to political
prisoners, except those accused of crimes
and acts of cruelty. The Chilean Lega
tion in Paris has been notified that the
affair of the refugees at the American Le
gation in Santiago presents no question
of gravity. No claims for indemnity
have yet been lodged by foreigners.
Money for the payment of the January
coupons of the Chilean debt has been sent
to Europe.
