THE KILLING OF DANIEL SANDS. Did His Pretty Mullatto, Belle Oden, Raise His Jealousy? Some Contradictory Evidence Given at the Inquest Yesterday. Belle Oden. the Dead Man* Mlntress, Tells Her Story—The Shooter Declines to Testify—Ver dlot of Murder. Yesterday morning 'Coroner Weldon, and a jury, held an inquest on the case of Daniel Bands (colored), who died at hia residence on Exchange street, Thursday morning, from the ef fects of a pistol shot wound in the head, received in a fracas occurring at 691 New High street, during the night of Monday last. Dr. E. T. Shoemaker testified that, late at night on Monday, he was called in to prescribe for the deceased ; that he found him suffering from the effects of a bullet wound in tbe left side of the head just back of the ear; and that there was a slight abrasion of the scalp in the back of the head. Bands waß un conscious, and gradually sank. Grant Douglas (colored) was acquaint ed with deceased. Witness was at the house on New High street on the night of the killing of Sandß. There were present, also, Belle Oden, Mary Carpen ter, H. A. Whitson, Carpenter, a col ored man named Bob, another white man, and George Ford, It was almost 10:3 l) p. m. when there came a knock at the door, and Bands entered, asking if hiß girl was there. Belle Oden was the woman meant. She and Mary Carpen ter were then in another room, convers ing. Sands held a stick in his hand when he came in. Ford told him the woman was there, and Sands immedi ately passed to the back yard, whither he was followed by Ford. Angry words followed. Witness here assisted the coroner in drawing a diagram of tbe house and yard. a. Room where witness Douglass and others sat at time of arrival of Sauds. b. Room In which same witness says the women Carpenter aud Oden were conversing at the time. c. Kitchen. d. Rear ro m. c. Yard: no fence en the south. f. Closet. g. Spot where Sands was shot and fell against the fence. Witness, resuming, said: Sands said he would like to kill the . Ford said: "I am just as good a man as you are." Shortly after this a shot was heard. Witness went to the room "d," accom- Eanied by tbe others present in the ouee, except the women, Oden and Carpenter, who went through the kitchen. Witness saw Sands on tbe ground and Ford standing near him. Belle stood about six feet from the men, between them and the house. It waa light enough to see what went on in the yard. On further examination, thia witne-ea said that Belle called out to Sands, "Don't! don't! don't!" Sanda had Ford by the coat with hia left hand, and made a motion towarda his right hip pocket. It was then he aaid, "I'm as good a man aa you are," and Ford fired. Witness did not see Ford'a pistol, but heard the shot. Ford bad his left hand up by Sanda' left ear. Ford wua aober that evening. When he arrived at the house, about 9 p. m , he had found Ford and Belle sitting together, talking. Some three nighta before tbia occur rence Sanda had come to tbe houae and endeavored to kick the door in. After falling, Sanda got up and aat down by the fence. Witneaa, carpenter and an other carried the wounded roan into the houae. Afterwards, in the houae, Ford said to witness that he was going to take no chancea with a big man like that, and co shot him. It will be noted that the teatimony of thia witneaa was rather contradictory in several essential points. Bole Blake (mulatto) testified that he lived in the second atory of the house on New High street: that on Monday night, between 10>£ and 11 p. m., he came home, and found Grant Douglaa, Mary Carpenter, Belle Oden, and a White man, to witneaa unknown, sitting there. Geo. Ford came in shortly after wards. "Presently there waa a" knock at the door, whereupon the two wr men went out to the yard. Sanda was the person who knocked ; he waa admitted by Ford, but aaid nothing. He passed into the back yard and was followed by Ford. I heard the two wrangling and then a pistol phot. I remained in the house for some two minutes after that, but Grant Douglass went out into the yard at once. I didn't want to be mixed up in the matter. The two women had left the room as Sanda came in. Car penter came in afterwards. When Belle heard the knock she aaid it waa Sands, and went out of the room where we were sitting." Isabel Oden lives on Exchange street, with Daniel Sanda. She testified aa follows: About 9 p. m. on Monday I went to the New High-street house with Mary Carpenter. Whitson, Douglass and Blake were there. George Ford came in immediately after me. I did not send for him nor do I know that any one sent for him. I went out to the yard end heard Sanda calling me. I said I would come in a minute. He called again, and I answered aa before. On coming into the yard I aaw Sands and Ford stand ing together. Sands Btruck Ford. I tried to separate them, but one word LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1892. brought on another, and, at length, I heard a shot fired. I waa standing al most between the two when Sandß fell. In falling hia head struck the fence. I did not hear Banda knock at the door, for I had started for tbe yard. Mary aaid, that's Bands, and he ia mad. I said I bad done nothing. For some time before Banda came, Ford, Mary and I had been in the kitchen talking. After Bands fell I tried to raise him, ask ing bim where he was hurt. After the abot, Ford aaid he waa sorry, and never would have shot Bands bad he not thought Banda was drawing on him. Ford got the hack and we took Sands home, and then I looked up a doctor. The ahooting wan between half past 10 and 11 o'clock, Sandß had been drinking heavily. Ford lived with the Still well woman in the second atory of the house on New High street. I knew them all, and had been 8t the house several times, and I do not think I did wrong in going there. Sands was very jealous, and when under the influence of liquor had struck me on several occasions. He never wanted me to go away from home, I was his mietrese. Sanda had no pis tol that night. I found, a large clasp knife in his hip pocket after I got him home. During the quarrel between the two men nothing was said of any rela tions between me and Ford. Mollie Jackson testified that she lived in Ford's house. That evening she left Belle and Mary in the house and went out. They bad come in about 8:30 asking for Ford. "He was not in, aud Mary sent Whitson, who came with tbem, to the saloon after Ford. I went away juet after Ford came. Belle told Ford that Sanda had driven her away from home, and that she wasn't going back. Ford told her there was no room for her in the house, for there was a man and his wife there. Belle told Ford that her fellow (Sands) waa looking for him to do him up. Grant came to the house along with Ford. I heard others tell Foid that Sands was looking for him." Mary Carpenter, wife of George Car penter, testified : "I know Belle Oden. On Monday evening Belle came to my house and wanted me to go with her on an errand. We went out, Mr. Whitson accompanying us. Arriving at Ford'a houree, on New High street, Belle said ahe would like to stop there for a little while. Mollie Jackaon was there, and aaid that Ford was out, and Belle told her to send Whitson after Ford. Belle told me that Sands was angry with her, and had been so a day or two before that. Belle and I went with Whitson, and found Ford at the saloon, and we all went back to Ford'a. Ford and Belle left me in the front room and went into tbe kitchen. Presently I went in and told her to hurry up. I don't know what they talked about. I did hear Belle tell Ford that Sanda had driven her awry and had threatened to kill him. The street door was open when Sanda came, and Ford went to it. Belle cried out, 'Oh, that's Sands.'And I said, lam go{ng home. Belle went out to the yard and I followed and slipped out into the street. I went home and did not hear the shot fired. I hurried away because I was afraid Sanda would whip Belle." Homer A. Whitson testified that he lives at Carpenter'B house. "On Mon day evening I went with Mary Carpen ter and Belle to Ford's house on New High street. Ford waa not in, and Belle asked me to go and look for him. I found bim at a saloon near by, playing cards with Douglas Grant. Belle and Mary came to the aaloon after ua, and we all went back to Ford'a. I went in the house and etayed about 10 minutes. Carpenter and I then went to get sup per at a Chinese restaurant on Alameda street. On our way we met Sanda on Loa Angeles street. He waa pretty drunk. He asked if I knew where hia wife was. I said no. I thought it none of my bus iness. Sands then left us and I didn't Eec him again till after the shooting. After the shooting Ford asked me, would you leave? And I answered no. Ford had told Carpenter that he shot Sandß. Drawing near the house on New High atreet Carpenter and I met Ford. We called him to us, and asked where Sanda was. In the back yard, he replied. He didn't know whether he bad killed him. The witness admitted that he had been recently confined in the city prison for larceny. George Carpenter testified that he had come down to the New High atreet house to tell hia wife to go home. He found the Bame persons already men tioned assembled there, also a white man, who ia a butcher in Santa Monica. Witness confirmed the statement of Whitson in regard to meeting Sands,and subsequent events. He had heard Sanda tell on a former occasion that he didn't want him around his woman. Minnie Brown testified that she heard a ahot fired and ran to No. 601 New High street. She gave an accu rate description of a mulatto whom ahe saw standing in the yard with what ahe believed to be a pistol, and who told her there waa nothing the matter. When confronted with Ford, ahe recognized him as the individual she had seen. George Ford being brought in, was informed of hia right to atate to the jury what he saw fit, in his own defense, and was warned that what he might cay might be used against him at a subse quent trial. He sail hia attorney being absent he did not wish to say anything. Belle Oden being recalled admitted that Ford and she went into the kitchen alone together and conversed. She de nied that she aaid in the presence of Molly Jackson that her old man had driven her away or that Bhe told Ford, Sands was going to do him up. Nor when Sands came (to the New High atreet house) did she cry out that Sands waa there. Dr. E. H. Bryant had made the post mortem examination of Sands, and des cribed tbe position and nature of tbe wound. The ball did not penetrate tbe skull, but was flattened against it, frac turing tbe bone at a point about an inch behind the left ear, parallel with its tip. The middle meningeal artery was rup tured. The man died of internal hem orrhage. The pistol, a five-barrel weapon oi 38 caliber was then produced, and proven to be the property of George Ford. At 2:30 p.m. the jury returned a ver dict of wilful murder againßt Ford aa principal and Isabella Oden as accom plice. One juror, however, was of the opinion that the offence was justifiable homicide.

CICOTTE'S AGE She Declines to Tell It and Bluffs off Judge Brunson. Interesting- Proceedings Yesterday in the Courts. A Peculiar Case Against the Santa Fe Company — Sensational Charges Against William Sholderer. New Suits—Court Notes. "I "decline positively to answer the question," spunkily replied Mrs. Martha Cicotte, in Judge Clark's court room, yesterday afternoon, in reepone to a query by Judge Anßon liruneon as to her age. Just why the handsome witness should decline to answer did not ap pear. It could not be because she was too old, because seemingly she has not yet reached even that uncertain age, when a statement of the summers and winters of a woman's life becomes em barrassing. Mrs. Cicotte appeared to be between 25 and 30 years of age, and she looked the astute attorney of tbe Santa Fe railroad straight in the eyes, struck even the jurors aa being an un commonly attractive woman. "I insist on an aawer, madam," re iterated Judge Brunson. "I will not. That is something lam very particular about, and I don't think a gentleman should ask a lady such a question," came quick aa a Hash from the witness, and Judge B. unson had to give it up, even failing to get at it indirectly by adroit questions intended to entrap the witness. The case on trial waa that of Mrs. Cicotte's mother, Mra. M. Wilaon, againat the California Central Railroad company, to recover judgment for $4000 for a lot of household goods shipped from Indianapolie to Loa Angeles, and which were burned up in the freight warehouse of the company. . This is the second trial, the plaintiff having re covered judgment once for the full amount, but a new trial being granted by Judge Clark, his deciaion waa affirmed by the supreme court. The trial was begun Thursday after noon, and tbe taking of testi mony waa resumed yesterday morning. During the morning Mra. Wilson testified, and went over the list of articles ahipped, seriatim, stat ing their value, alleging that the true value waa nearer $20,000 than the $4000 claim put in. She denied having received any notice of tbe arrival of the goods in Lob Angelea. It is upon thia point that the caae hinges, the rail road claiming that the notice of arrival was duly given. But the testimony of Mra. Cicotte and her croas-examination were the interest ink- part of the day's proceedings. I pon her direct examination she related how she bad gone to the offices of the South ern Pacific and Santa Fe companies in a search for the missing goods. She bad worked for four yeara aa a clerk in a railroad office in Indianapolie, and dis played complete familiarity with way bills, expense accounts and the proced ure in tbe freight office of a railroad. She stated that when she ascertained that the goods were deatroyed she went to call on Judge Brunson with her mother, to see what the company would do in the matter. He waa polite and told her to make out a list, with a low valuation, and the company would set tle. She made out the list and sent it to him. When she went again Judge Brunson waa cross, said he would pay nothing, and that if she wanted any thing she could sue for it. She went over the list of goods article by article, and stated that she had priced such things in this city, and tbe valuation in tbe schedule was very, very low. The articles consisted of handsome parlor eete of furniture, lace and silk curtaina, paintings, plaques, fine bedding, pillows, fine lacee, and a thouaand and one articles, all claimed to be auperlatively elegant and coßtly. It was when Judge Brunson began bis cross-examination that tbe tilt described above began. After giving up the dis covery of Mrs. Cicotte'a age, the attor ney turned hia attention to other mat ters. He asked the witness when she was married, and she told bim in Au gust, 1886. She said she waa up and down the coast from that time and be fore her marriage to Mr. E. V. Cicotte, until she went to Chicago, the next spring. "What waa your husband's business then, madam?" solemnly usked Judge Brunson. "He was traveling auditor of the Santa Fe railroad, sir." "When did he leave the road ?" "He was discharged, air, because he waa a witneea in thia case before," quickly replied Mra. Cicotte, ecoring a telling hit. "Ia he not now in the employ of the company?" "Yes, air; but not through the influ ence of officiate." "Speaking about these plush plaques," said Judge Bruneon, abruptly changing the subject, "do you know how much the raw material in them costa?" "No, air," said tbe witneas, demurely, "but it was my work on ttein that made their value." "How much do you think your work is worth?" queried the attorney. "Well, sir, it ie hard to Bay," smiling, "but if Ben Franklin'a estimate that time ia money ia correct, I should say $3 a minute." An co the examination went on. In vain did the attorney attempt to mix the witness up on railroad matters con nected with way billa and the like. She waa as alert aa the attorney, and well posted on all the minute details of a freight office. She aleo claimed that $10,000 would hardly cover the loaa of the goods destroyed by fire, among them being things that could never be | replaced. At the conclusion of the cross-examination the plaintiff rested, and the case waa continued until next Monday, when tbe defense will begin the introduction of testimony. CHARGED WITH PERJURY. A Sensational Complaint Filed Against Wm. Sholderer. A short time ago Wm. Sholderer, who has been engaged in the butchering business in this city for a long time, filed a petition in the superior court in insolvency, and yesterday morning a sensational complaint was filed againat him in Justice Stanton'a court, charging bim with perjury in connection with hiß petition in insolvency. The complaint ia sworn to by Cbarlea Gassen. It aeta forth that Mr. Sholderer, June 7th last, took oath before A. C. Broder eon, a notary public, aa to his petition and schedules in insolvency, vouching for their correctness. He swore that the petition, schedules and inventory, "A," "B," and valuation, "C," were correct, containing a full, perfect, and true discovery of all bis estate; all debts owing to him. and to become due. In it he declared that he had no lands, money, stock or estate, except as set forth in the documents mentioned. The complaint then charges the de fendant with having made a faUe oath ; that he omitted and concealed a large amount of property, consisting of horßea, notes due him and to become due, money on deposit in bank and else where, debts due and contracta, and therefore asks for hia arrest on the charge of perjury. A warrant was ia sued on the complaint and placed in the hands of an officer, when it waa ascer tained that Sholderer had gone to San Francisco, where he will probably be arrested. COUNTERFEIT SILVER DOLLARS. James Murphy Now on Trial in he United States Court. Yesterday afternoon a jury waa par tially empanelled in the United .States district court for the trial of James H. Murphy upon a charge of passing coun terfeit money, November 26, 1891, at Fresno Flats, in Fresno county. The defendant waa indicted by a former grand jury, and has been in jail await ing his trial for several months. He was in Fresno Flats on the day men tioned, and waa haunting ceveral sa loons, buying drinke for himself and otnera, paying in silver dollars, which were afterward found to be counterfeit. Upon hia preliminary examination be fore United Statea Commissioner Van Dyke, Murphy insisted upon making a statement. He had no counsel, and Diatrict Attorney Allen advised him not to do ao, but he insisted, and aaid, amongst other things, that be had been spending money that day. He then un dertook to account for the money he bad, saying that he had been at work and brought $20|in with him to "blow in," but none of it that he knew waa counterfeit. He admitted having told one man that be might have made one of the counterfeit dollars which was de tected, but aaid this assertion waa mere ly a pleasantry. The government be lieves it has a Btrong case against Mur phy. The taking of testimony will be gin this morning. Court Notes. The $50,000 damage suit of Mrs. Lafferty va. the Southern Pacific com pany, for the death of her eon. who waa killed in an accident on the road, came to an end yesterday morning in the United States district court. The jury waa out two houra and a half, and re turned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, assessing the damages at $5000. The Ah Wai perjury caae waa con tinued by Judge Smith to be reset for trial. C. D. Hall, an insane man suffering from acute mania, waa yesterday com mitted to tbe asylum at Napa, by Judge Smitb. Hall labors under tbe deluaion that there ia a conspiracy against him, and has betrayed eymptoma of insanity for some time past. Judge Van Dyke referred the case of Sormano va. Tononi to the court com missioner to take testimony. Judge Van Dyke rendered judgment for the plaintiff in two forecloeure cases which bad been consolidated, of Mc- Connell va. Wood et al. The amount of the judgment waa for $755.65 in one caae, and $1544.74 in tbe other. The auit of tbe San Jose Hunch com pany va. the Azusa Water Ditch and Irrigating company, to declare null and void the eale of certain stock by tbe de fendant company, was argued before Judge McKinley and submitted. John Duerr, a native of Germany, waa admitted to citizenahip by Judge Shaw. Judgment for the defendant waa ren dered by Judge Shaw in the caae of Sepulveda vs. Bentley et als., a auit for $80 aa nurse's wages. The caae of Frink va. the Farmera' and Merchants' bank, was tried before Judge Shaw and taken under advise ment. It ia a auit in which the plaintiff deniea having given the defendant au thority to pay a note given to a man named Norton for $4075, and wiahea to secure a ruling that the bank bad no authority to do ao. Divorce proceedings have been begun by Mrs. Mattie C. Dodson vs. S. S. Dod eon. The examination of "Major" Twine for threatening to kill his wife was con tinued by Justice Stanton for two weeks. He reduced the bail of the defendant to $500, but he could not give it and re turned to jail. New Suits Filed. Among the documents filed in the county clerk's office yesterday were the following: A.
