MAYNE A WILLING WITNESS
His Deposition Partially Taken
by U. S. Commissioner
THE WILY SCHEMER'S STORY
The Narrative Interrupted by the Witness
Having a Hemorrhage
The Hesrlug Continusd Until This Morning
An Unblushing Confession of Bribery
. and Corruption—Court News
While Clifton E. Mayne is probibly a
very sick man, his bad health his not
robbed tho wily schemer of his cunning.
Yesterday morning at 10 oolook was the
time set for taking his deposition in the
case of the Consolidated Water compiny
and J. M. Howells vs. E. S. B iboocll and
tho Southern California Mountain Water
company, recently instituted in the United
States circuit court, and whiali is based
primarily on an nflldavit mado by Mayna
in which he swear?, that he bribed mem
bers of the San Diego city government to
vote for Babcoc'.i's water supply scheme.
The object in taking the deposition at this
time is to preserve .Wayne's testimony for
use in the trial in caso ho should dio before
it comes off.
At 10 oolook United States Commissioner
Van Dyke put in an appear,.' oe at the
sheriff's oilice, and Mr. Burr give up fie
uso of his private room for holding the 'Ex
amination. E. S. Babcock was in attend*
unco, with his attorneys, Hon. W. J. Hun-
Baker antl Judge J. A. Gibson of Sin Diego,
Oi A. Trippeit of San, Diego appeared for
the Consolidated Water company and
Mr. Howells, while H. E. Doolittte, also of
Han Diego, looked after the interests of all
the other defendants. Stenographer Long
ley took down the testimony for the com
missioner, und a San Diego stenographer
for the defendants. W. .1. Murphy and W.
H. Shlnn were present, representing
Mayne.
At 10:15 oclock Mayne was brought from
the county jail. He was looking very pale,
but liis voice was stronger than was ex
pected, and from the manner in which he
started out it looked as though he would be
able to get through with his testimony. Mr.
llunsaker objected to taking the tostimony
on the ground that it was past the Hour set,
that the commissioner had no authority to
change the hour aud, furthermore, that no
sufficient grounds had been offered for the
delay.
The objections were overruled hy the com
missioner, when Mayne proceeded with his
story, on substantially the same lines as set
forth in the affidavit, but going more into
detail, and giving minor incidents omitted
from the more formal document. He spoke
in an easy, colloquial way, giving his testi
mony substantially as follows:
Mayne said that when he was building a
railroad at San Diego he learned that Bab
cock had a lot of material that he could get
for a very low figure, and he called on him
at the Hotel Coronado. After talking over
various matters, Babcock told him that he
would help him out, if he (Mayne) on his
part would assist him in getting his water
proposition through the San Diego council
and board of delegates. As a result of this
talk Mayne said that he entered into an
agreement with Babcock. by which he was
to do what he could with the couucilmen
and delegates. .1 or this Mayne was to re
ceive If'JoO a month for himself, and to
have control of Biitlicient funds to carry
out his plans with the councilmen. In pur
suance of this agreement Mayne says he
first saw Levy, and found that lie was
already a Babcock main He next saw
Brant, hut found that he could do nothing
with him. Next Whitney was approached,
but he also was a Babcock man. Davis, of
tho board of delegates, was the next man
approached; Davis was very frank about
the matter, and said that lie wanted to
make SMIoO out of the business, but finally
agreed to vote for the preliminary resolu
tions for f it), which lie paid him. lie then
saw Joseph Backman, who agreed to vote
for the preliminary resolution for
$30, which he paid him; with H.
L. Barrow it was the same.
Olmstead, a member of tli3 board of dele
gates, promised to vote for the preliminary
resolution for JBO, but afterwards refused,
Baying that he was afraid. He next saw
Duncan and Crow, and arranged with them
to pay them $500 each for their votes on
the preliminary resolution and the final
passage, they also agreeing to use their In*
lluence and work in favor of the proposi
tion at the election; he paid them £100
each cash, the remaining amount to be
paid them as follows; $200 when it passed
both boards and $'-'00 on its second pass
age. He also saw Kobinsoti.hut made noar
raugement, Holuiison saying that he would
see about il later; he wauled more money
than Babcock was willing to pay. Marker
was also seen, but no arrangement was
made, 'he,'' rem.irked Mayne, "wanting
me to promise that he should have his
proper divide of whatever spoils there was
in it." Mayne sa d when ho had received
enough voles to pass the bill, he sent to
Babcock for 1350 by his secretary, Frank
Kiheridge. liabcock sent the money hick
in an envelope by the same messenger.
Later that saino day Babcock cume over to
see Mayne, and gave him $ir>o more, he
having paid him $100 when the arrange
ment was made. This M.iyne said, ac
counts for the expenditure of all money
handled by him in this connection except
|00,°whioh he paid to a man whose name
be does not intend to divulge at this time.
"The resolution passed,"concluded Mayne
in a significant manner.
Mayne had been talking pretty steadily
from the start, but at this point he sudden
ly jumped to his feet and in a rather dra
matic manner announced that he couid
proceed no further, as he was about to
have a hemorrhage.
Under Sherllf Clements was called in,
and Mayne was removed to his cell iv tho
county jail and physicians were summoned.
Later Mayne had ipiile a severe hemor
rhage, losing considerable blood.
Mr. Hunsaker, on behalf of Mr. Babcock
and the defendant corporation, objected to
any continuance whatever of the taking of
the deposition, saying that he antl bis MSt
ciates were present on notice for tho pur
pose of taking the deposition, anil the com
missioner could grant no delay.
The commissioner said if Mayne was
physically unable to proceed he Would ad
journ the hearing, but for the purpose of
keeping the record straight Dr. Granville
McGowan was called and testified that
M.iyne was very weak. (In this statement
the hearing was adjourned to 'J p. in.
At 'J oclock the commissioner and the
attorneys were again present, and llfteen
minutes later May ne was brought in. He
said thai he was physically unable to pro
reed with his testimony, and asked to be
Excused. At this there was some objection,
when Mayne flitly refused to proceed. He
jaid that he was perfectly willing to-give
lis tes iniony, but if they wanted it, they
must take it as lie could give it. He did
not propose to injure himself further.
Mr. Hunsaker again objected, and after
oriefiy examining Mayne as to his physical
condition, ho was excused by the commis
sioner and the hearing continued until this
norning at 10 oclock.
Channel In tr» County Clerk's Office
As the first of the year approaches ru
mors and reports of changes in the county
clerk's office increase. Mr. Newlin is
keeping his own counsel very closely and
refuses to be interviewed as to removals or
appointments, but that there will be three
changes at least, with possibly four to six,
is now generally conceded about the court
house. A. W. Seaver, of course, will go,
and bis place at the counter, it is said, will
be taken by Charley Keyes, an old man in
too office, and who is now apparently in
training for the position. C. M. Fairbanks,
the file clerk, it is also claimed, will be
asked to hand in his resignation. John
Dunetnoor, clerk of department four, it is
likewise claimed by the wiseacres, is also
on the list to go, and some claim that it is
not beyond the range of possibilities that
0, W. Blake, clerk of department two,
may bo asked to step down and out to
make room for another man. Of course,
should Mr. Newlin determine on these two
latter removals, he would have quite a
struggle with the judges of those depart
ments, who are satisfied with tho incum
bents antl will not relish breaking in new
men.
As to tho appointees, v:> one seems will
ing to hazard a gUMS, It Is adm tted that
there aro at least a hundred applicat ts for
positions in the offioe, so that Mr. Newlin
will not be short of material from which to
make selections.
As to Mr. EtriJ y's Competency
Tho oompe'.enoy of Frederick B. Emery,
of Long Beach, was partially inquired Into
before Judge Clark yesterday, and devel
oped a rather Inharmonious state of af
fairs in the Emery Family. Mr. Emery is
quite inlirm, and bis oldest son, Frank,
has petitioned for the guardianship of the
person ami estate of his father. Mr. Em
ery has been married twice. By his first
wife h 3 had throe children, and has bad
twoor three by the second. The second
Mrs. Emery is much younger than her
husband, and bids fair to live for many
years to come. The Emery estate consists
of about $19,000 worth of real estate, im
proved and unimproved, principally lo
cated at Long Beach, and die estate is the
bone of contention, rather than the custody
of the old man's person.
It appears that Prank Emery* who for
merly lived in San Luis Obispo county,
thought il would be belter to divide the es
tate during his father's life time, antl com
municated this fact to his stepmother.
! Mrs. Emery could not see the matter in i
i this light; she said that the income was i
: barely enough to support her husband and
| herself, and that anyhow it was time ;
I enough to divide the property on the oltl i
j man's death. Frank accordingly moved j
Ito Long Bench, where he could keep an
eye on the estate. After investigating he
can.' to the Conclusion that Mrs. Emery j
| was manipulating iho estate in her own |
j interest and transferring the property in
her own name, so mat when her husband
died thore would bo nothing to divide
among tho children. He accordingly insti
tuted suit for the guardianship as above
statetl, alleging that his father is mentally
incompetent, and incapable of managing
his affairs. Mrs. Emory in her answer de
nies that her husband is mentally incom
petent, or that he is incapable of transact
ing bu-iness. She further alleges that the
whole estate is community property and
lias been accumulated since their marriage
in 1873.
During the hearing yesterday morning,
one witness testified that Mr. and Mrs.
Emery were engaged in no business, but
were living ofT rents, that Mrs. Emery was
taki g the funds of the estate and invest
ing in lands in her own name, and another
said that the old man had complained to
him that he could not get any pocket
money and that ho was only a passenger
around there, not the conductor. He said
he did not think the old man was in a con
dition to handle money, but that ho thought
be should have pocket money.
As old Mr. Emery has recently been on
the jury panel In Judge Clark's court,
when he showed no signs of mental weak
ness. Judgei Clark refused to hear any
more testimony until the alleged incom
petent had been produced in court aud be
had seen him, and adjourned the examina
tion until Friday next.
Baker Estate Litigation
Tho matter of the final distribution of
the estate of it. S. Baker, deceased, was
partially heard before Judge Clark yester
day afternoon. The administrator, C. H.
Forbes, has filed his final report, showing
that ho has collected $1G,127.10, and paid
| out $16,181.33, leaving the estate in
j debted to him $54.18, and is now ready to
I turn over the property to the heirs, as may
hj directed by the court. A complication
has, however, arisen, nnd it was this com
plication tint was being straightened out
yesterday afternoon. When the estate
was first appraised by Messrs. 1). W. Field,
Oscar Macy and Walter s. Moore, the
value was returned as $68,531.50. Two
of tho heirs then transferred their interests
to Messrs. W. F. Williamson and Henry
B. Mayo, two San Francisco attorneys,
for a Binall amount of money and legal
services to contest for a share of the com
munity property, a very l.rge amount.
Later additional properly was discovered,
ami on a reappraisement the value was
given as $2110,700. The heirs, who trans
ferred their interests, then wanted to an
nul tho transfer, claiming that it was only
in the nature of a mortgage to secure tho
attorneys for legal services. The attor
neys claim that tho transfer wis absolute.
The facts were presented before Judge i
Clark yesterday afternoon, when the mat
ter was continued for argument until Mon
day morning next.
Foreclosed
In the case of the State Lo in and Trust
company vs. Allen et al., suit to foreclose
a note and mortgage far $ISO, Judge :
Shaw yesterday gave Judgment for the
plaintilV. In the case of the same com
i pany against Palmer et al., to foreclose a
note and mortgage for $450, a decree was :
also given for the plaintiff.
The bearing of the case of N. 8. Jonah '
et al. vs. Mrs. A. Lovoll et al., a suit to
foreclose a mechanics' lien, occupied the
remainder of the session, and was not con
cluded at the hour of adjournment. The j
trouble grows ont of the fact that Jonah
and Brent, contractors, took the job of i
putting eerlain alterations on a building j
belonging lo Mrs Livell on the corner of
Tenth street and Broadway, Among thoso
altemtlous were certain which were not on j
the plans, but which it is stated were in- j
tended to be there, and for these the i
plaintiffs claim $440. Mrs l.ovell resists
on the ground that they should have been I
put on under the contract, and that they |
were not ordered as extras. The matter j
was submitted to a board of arbitrators j
and they decided in favor of the ptaintitfs
for $330, The defendant, however, ro- |
fused to accept the award, and all efforts
to bring about another arbitrament were a
failure, so suit was brought.

TYMDALL WILL BE INTERRED
Says He Has Not Given Up the Burial
Test
Arrangements are Being Carried on Very
Quietly -The Casket and the Burial
Clothes Secured
The statement published in an evening
paper to the effect that Professor Tyndall
had given up his burial test is, so the pro
fessor says, without foundation. He says
that he cannot imagine how such a report
could have gained circulation, as he has
been devoting his attention for the past
few days almost exclusively to prepara
tions for the test. In support of his claim
he submits the following letters written by
Orr & llines, the undertakers:
To Professor Tyndall: Sir:—We havo
read with interest the statement published
in the press that you intend to prove your
ability to throw yourself into a cataleptic
state and be buried for so many days.
While we have seen and known yout ex- j
traordinary power above the ground, we
take the liberty of doubting the success of I
your experiment. At the same time you I
are backing your opinion with your life,
und we are sufficiently interested in mod- \
em science to assist you in proving what
yon so firmly believe.
■ Wo will present you with a casket,
i trimmed and decorated in a style worthy
i of the rci-asion and your position.
If you decide to accept our offer it will
! be necessary for our representative to take
1 certain measurements, at any time con
i venient to yourself. The casket will be
! ready for inspection two hours after re- !
I ceipt of your acceptance of our offer.
| To the above Professor Tyndall has re
i plied as follows:
Gentlemen—Your favor offering to pro- i
■vile a casket for my burial test received. ;
; 1 have received several such, but after due
investigation have decided to accept yours,
, I shall call tomorrow and be measured.
Professor Tyndall has since called upon
: Orr & llines, has been measured and ilie
casket is now ready for use, but the. pro
feasor says ho will not need it until the I
morning of January 7, 1891). Yesterday i
he received the following letter from
Brown Bros., ihe Hp ring street clothiers,
which explains itself:
Dear Sir —The suit of underwear or- j
deretl by you for your burial lias arrived t
from the mill this morning, and we would j
I be pleased to have you call and inspect tiie I
: same to see if it meets your approval,
i A call upon Brown Bros, developed tho j
fact tit it the suit ordered by Protestor
Tyndall is of the best quality of silk and
Will cost the clever professor the neat sum
'of $18.50. The order was taken some j
| weeks ago and the measurements sent to j
' the eastern agents of Brown Bros. The ;
| underwear is of silk with ornamental
; stitching, and Professor Tyndall says he
: will surely have use for it after his burial |
j test is over, liespite reports to tho con- i
I trary. Tyndall declares that ho will carry I
i out this test. Ho seems to be in dead earn- ;
j eat. nnd appears thoroughly confident of ;
| his ability to carry out the test, 110 is now j
! arranging for his committee.

ARE WORRYING ABOUT IT
Grand Jury's Report as to t!ie
Clerk's Office
WILL IT COVER EVERYTHING
One Man Who Thinks That the Issue
Is Being Dodged
Says If Full Facts Are Not Reported by the
Grand Jurors They Will Come
Through Another Source
As the first of January draws nigh tho
apprehension over what the grand jury
will and nhal it will not do with regard to
frauds ami thievery in the county govern
ment increases, Within the last few day s
a new element has appeared at tho court
house that has, until very recently, been
under cover. This new factor may yet
out quite a figure In developments regard
ing official crookedness, should the grand
jury oierlook some very Important details
which can at once be obtained by the grand
jurors if tliey wish them.
The man has appeared at last who is
prepared to show just exactly how a com
plete exposure can be made of the rotten
ness in the county clerk's office for six
years prior to tho Ist day of January uf |
tbis year.
This man is reliable find tbe statement
that he has made bears every evidence i-f j
truth. He is a man who ought to know
whereof he speaks, for he has been in tho
Courthouse for years.
The gentleman was seen yesterday ond
to a repiesentativo of The HeBALD he
said:
"No sir, if the grand jury does not givo to
the public a full and complete account of
the crookedness that has been going
on in the clerk's oHlee for the pas', six
years it will not bo for the reason that the
full facts could not be obtained for them.
Ail of this Information is right at hand and
can be had if it is wanted.
"I would like to see the grand jury make
a full report on it, but should the gentle
men overlook the subject I will see to it
myself that the public the full history
of the stealing that has been going on in
i the clerk's office,
"Only surface facts have thus far been
made public and it is getting late. If the
grand jury is going to do anything more in
regard 10 the matter it is about time that it
got a move on itself. I tell you that mure
than one man has been a party to the
crookedness iv the clerk's office, and if
; only one man is made to bear the direct
burden and shame of all the dishonor
attaching to a thief it will not be right.
There are others who are just as bad as
Frank Lowery, and i f they are not shown
up along with him it will bo a rank dis
ci iininalion.
"Just at present I suppose that Mr.
Lowery deems it to his interest not to give
out the information he has in his possession,
but my impression is that before he grows
many days older ho will regret that he did
not come at once to the front and make a
clean breast of ail the facts he had that
could possibly be used to protect the
people's money in the fuiiue, and to bring
criminals who have helrayed a public trust
to justice.
"However, thero are others who have
practically tho same information that
Lowery has, and they are willing to testify
when they are called on. But some way or
1 another 11 seems to mo as though the di
recting mind of the grand jury was not
I over-anxious to go to the bottom of this
I examination of the aifairs of the clerk's
oilice. Somebody seems to be able to keep
I the jurors away from the important facts
! which they should become acquainted
! with.
"Mr. Newlin, the present county clerk,
makes loud protestations that when he
went into oilice he knew nothing about tho
defalcations, and affirms that the informa
tion lie got from tho grand jury was the
first intimation lie had of the robbery. Mr.
: Newlin can tell that story to the .marines.
1 Possibly they would believe it, but for my
I part I do not.
"I appreciate the fact that Mr. Newlin is
I in a very unpleasant position, but I do not
i think that he can extricate himself by
j making such foolish statements as that.
"Mr. Newlin is a man of business, and
I will give the people a businesslike admin
istration of the clerk's oilice. When lie
j tells us, as he has, that he practically re
-1 ceived no records of the cash receipts of
1 the clerk's oilice when Mr. Ward turued it
over to him, he perhavsa tells the truth,
! But that of itself ought to have created a
! suspicion in his mind that there was some;
j thing rotten somewhere.
I "But he tries to have us believe that ho
! thought nothing of the matter, although
t there were at the time numerous rumors
: alloat to Iho effect that the books of tho
I clerk's office were not all right.
"Of course it is unpleasant to have it
I said that one public official attempted to
cover up the delinquencies;'and shortages
lof his predecessor. If Mr. Newlin was so
desirous of showing the public that this
! imoutation would not be against him, why
I did he not at once inform iho supervisors
! that the records of ihe office he had re
! ceived from Mr. Ward wero not complete,
i Then upon the strength of this report the
I supervisors could have at once put an In
vestigation on foot. The question is
Would they have done so. Echo answers,
'Would they."
"No, if the grand jury fails to do its duty
in regard to the clerk's office the facts will
soon come to the public through another
souice. antl every fact given will be verified
by ihe record."
IT WAS AWFUL
Stench on South Main Street Similar to Tan
nery OJor3
The city health authorities have an ex
cellent opportunity to cover themselves
with glory and at tho samo time do some
thing which is demanded of them in the
performance of their duty.
Last evening the a m ■sphere on South
Main street was perfumed i:i a way that
gave one a fuil and comprehensive idea of
what the odors are that aro wafted on the
breezes from a tannery in fnii operation*
The stench iv this instance came from tne
direction of Naud's warehouse, and it was
Indeed powerful* Residents who received
its full force were for a lime iv doubt
as to whether they could ie:n .in in ihcir
homes or not will ilut regard to their
health* It was simply awful.
The city health department will undoubt
edly attend to the matter today and see to
it that the nuisance is abated.
FROM THE 0!L FILL!)
Notes of Recent Progress Made Anions the
Derricks
Of tho new wells that have been opened
in the oil field recently that belonging to
the Rex company, above Belmont avenue,
gives the best evidence of bee lining a
spouter. The drill has been sent down
over 990 feet nnd is still bfong operated,
though progress has become somewhat
slow. Tho hole is full of oil, which is
forced to the top of the casing by the great
amount of gas underneath* In all proba
bility the well will be a spouter, aj it is lo
cated in the western end of tho territory
near the Nelson well, which did tuoh phe
nomenal gushing some lime o»o.
After having pumped water for several
weeks the Martin well, on Lakeshore ave
nue, will be cleaned, and it s thought will
yield a good return of oil. When it was
drilled a heavy vein of petroleum was pen
etrated, which for a time was pumped suc
cessfully, until the water broke in; and
being heavier than the oil, forced it back,
so that only water came up through th«
pipe. Water is not an unusual thing In
the Held, hut it is usually cased off and
gives little trouble.
I'nletfc Hummiston aro down over 800
feet in their well on Belmont avenue. For
the past few days the drillers have been
engagetl in putting in the casing, which ia
now ail down. In the meantime the hole
filled with oil. Yesterday was consumed
in hallo it oul.
Af ier going down over 500 feet in their
we'd on Temple street aud Park place
Warring ,\ McCrea have encountered a
cave, which has slightly retarded drilling.
The Lornn Oil company has a fishing 100
in one of it-, new wells near Temple and
Figueroa streets.
Spudding is going on at a lively rat' in
Young. Beech & Coehrane's well on Tem
ple street.
A new derrick has been built by Edward
North at tho corner of Temple and Victor
streets, where another well will shortly be
put down.
The pump was pulled from Doheney &
Cannon's wed on Temple street yesterday.
Lehman & Mills have reached a depth of
! 800 feet in ineir well on West S ate street.
The drillers at <an(leld& Ferguson's
well on Temple street have had some
trouble in raising the casing, but have
finally succeeded in pulling the joiuts
which were stuck and will finish the well
in a few days.
No further progress has been made to
wards dislodging the tools from Bophs tt
Leslie's well on Victor street.
