10 ON THE FENCE Tie fVosecotioa of Mrs. Jenkins Closes DEFENSE DEMANDS DISMISSAL _ SKAT *OW HINGES ON A LAW POINT She Goldlng Divorce—Mrs. Ann* P. Spencer Foreclosed—The Ala meda Doable Track Mrs. Mattle Jenkins, as the case stands at present, has won nine points out of a possible ten. Good, big chunks of law were bandied about ln the township court yesterday tn the prosecution of the defendant tor having, by false pretenses and misrep resentation, obtained from Dr. Bert Ellis the sum of $600. Deputy District Attor ney McComas, ln behalf of the people, put in a clean cut case, but in some particulars it was just a trifle too clean cut, for Attorney Frank Davis, who rep resented the defendant, in arguing for a dismissal of the action made a. very clever showing that detracted very much from the strength of the prosecution's case. Briefly put, there were on August 12th four notes made by Mrs. Jenkins, each one being for $250, or $1000 in all. Of this total amount $500 was to cover certain business transactions between the de fendant and the prosecuting witness, which were legitimate and were not im pugned; the other two notes, for $500, represented the guilty money, so to •peak, obtained by Mrs. Jenkins by false representations made to Dr. Bert Ellis. Counsel for the defense, ln his argument, wanted to know who could discriminate as to these notes; whether the two notes reposing in the bank vaults might not represent the guilty money, and the two submitted ln evidence represent the un lmpugned business transaction between the parties. As a matter of fact the prosecution, In claiming that the $500 had been unlawfully obtained, there be ing a shortage of that amount on the four notes for $250 each, took any two of the old notes to represent the guilty. That such a determination may be ar rived at by reasoning is true, but counsel showed that the law does not counte nance any such hap-bazard way of dis criminating documents upon which the liberty of a person is made to turn. When Dr. Bert Ellis put his signature to the accommodation paper and Mrs. Jenkins drew down the money it was the bank that paid the money, counsel con tended, and not the doctor. It was the bank's money that paid for that trip of Mrs. Jenkins* to Chicago, and. al tl ugh the doctor's signature on Mrs. notes may have established a liability on her part, such a thing would be a matter for civil action at the time the note arrived at maturity. Primarily, Mr. Davis urged, the bank was the suf ferer, if'the money had been wrong fully obtained. Then when the notes became due, and 1500 was lost to Dr. Ellis, no allegation bad been made of any date when any amount had been lost. On August 24th, when he paid over to the bank the amount of tbe notes, he himself testified that the defendant was not present or a party to the transaction. The burden of counsel's remarks was to the effect that if any wrong had been committed. It certainly was not that charged, either in the first complaint or in the later one filed Just before the trial of the case. Mr. Davis, ln a semi humorous way, dealt Dr. Ellis one or two sharp knocks. He alluded to the section of the penal code defining the crime charged, and drew attention to his own statements that he had backed the Judgment of Mrs. Jenkins with his money and had lost. He had never taken the slightest trouble to verify her statements or inquire ln any way about them, although he had a tele phone ln his office. On this last proposition Mr. McComas wanted to be heard. He contended that the supreme court of this state had held that a man may He back and make no effort whatever to protect himself, and jret have cause of action if anything should go wrong. Counsel couldn't quote chapter and verse, but he knew of the decision and could put his hand upon it. Justice Toung stated that the lack of any rea sonable steps by an inured party seemed to him to nullify such a proceeding a? that at bar, and he would much like to see the decision alluded to by Mr. Mc- Comas. Counsel will file briefs on this point and then the court will decide whether the case shall be dismissed on the prosecution's own case or give the defense a hearing. Meantime, and through the long day, Mrs. Jenkins sat between her counsel and her brother, W. G. Antrim, who same from San Francisco to be with his •later in her trouble. She was garbed In black, with a jaunty black velvet hat. fashionably trimmed, and a double breasted jacket of rough, black goods. A dainty brooch formed of pearls and surmounted by a tiny cross, formed also of the delicate gems, was the only ar ticle of Jewelry she wore. Throughout the examination she was Impassive, and only on occasions would she turn and. converse with her counsel. Before the examination, opened Mr. McComas drew another complaint In place of the one upon which the de fendant was arrested. The first being dismissed, Mrs. Jenkins was arraigned on the second, waived time and the hearing began. ON FRIENDLY TERMS Dr. H. Bert Ellis or 731 West Eleventh street, the eye, ear and nose specialist, was the first witness and gave his as as 34 years. He stated he had known Mrs. Jenkins for about four years and In response to the request of Mr. Mc- Comas he told how it came about that he endorsed! for her certain paper whlcr he had the very doubtful pleasure of taking up later. The witness began by saying that on May 10th he received a letter from Mrs. Jenkins, which, upon demand of defending counsel was read Zt ran as follows: Dear Dr.: Since leaving you this morning I And Tm ln a very embarrassing position, aad If yen don't come to my rescue before • ft. to, my name will be "nit," and I'll BSS»r near losing what little sense I hsve. I aea't want you to .think I'm trying te tread upon your good kindness. I'll see you have every cent you have loaned me, even if I should have te go in someone's kitchen and work. Please. I beg ot you, dear, not to refuse me. I'm just desperate. Trusting you'll make me a favorable re ply, sincerely, M. I'll willingly do anything In God's world tor you. Tuesday. May loth. In reading this epistle Mr. McComas, when he reached the word "dear," vol unteered the explanatory remark that Mrs. Jenkins had evidently omitted the word "Dr.." she intending to write "Dear Dr.," as In her opening address. Mr. Davis sarcastically remarked that It counsel for the prosecution would confine himself to reading what was in the letter, and not into It, that It would be probably more satisfactory all around. "This note was brought by a messen ger boy," remarked witness, in beginning his story, "and I sent a reply. She called in the afternoon and said she had paid SSOO to Mme. Gotthelf for a fourth in terest In the millinery store- and unless she paid 2600 more by 3 oclock ehe would lose what she had put In. I told her it was impossible for me to lend, her the money and advised her that she had better see Mme. Gotthelf and try to get an extension of time. Next day she again called and said that Mme. Gotthelf had granted her an extension of time. I then told her it would be very hard for me to lend the money, as I was going east and when I came back would need more money than I had, and would have to borrow from the .banks. Mrs. Jenkins was much affected by my inability to help her, and I told her finally that I would go on her notes If Mr. Holllday of the Merchants' National bank was satisfied. I endorsed two notes for her. each for $250." "Now, doctor, who paid those notes?" irqulred Mr. McComas. "I did when they became due," was the witness' answer. "Why?" "When they fell due Mrs. Jenkins was not here, and the bank- demanding the money, I had to pay." "Did you know where Mrs. Jenkins then was?" "Yes, in San Francisco." THE DOCTOR CROSS EXAMINED. "Doctor, how long have you lived in this city?" began Mr. Davis, in cross examination. "Since 1884," was the reply. "And you hove known Mrs. Jenkins how long?" "About four years." "You became acquainted with her ln the ordinary professional way?" "I did." "Up to the time of the notes you saw her frequently?" "Sometimes I would see her quite frequently, and then again I would not see her for a prolonged time." "Was there any time when you saw her and treated her professionally quite frequently ?" "Yes, this spring." "About what time ln the spring?" "I think about the months of Febru ary and March." "Did these treatments continue to the time when the notes were mode?" "Sometimes once a day, sometimes once every three dayß." "Any financial transactions previous to that time?" "Yes, on the 12th of March I loaned her $200." "Just tell the court the system adopted in that transaction?" "She told me her seal skin sacque and other things were ln pawn, and that be ing the last day for redemption, she wanted to get them out. I had not the money, but consented to go on a note with her. She said Mr. Chase had prom ised to pay her part of Charlie's salary, and there were four notes made for $50 each, all on the Merchants' National bank." "There there came another financial transaction?" "Yes, sir. On February 9th she came to me and said her father was in the city, and was acquainted, with a drum mer Who had some good whisky. That her father could buy advantageously and she could make a trade that would give her the $300 she then wanted and the $200 she had raised. I told her those business matters were risky things to go into, but she said her father knew all about the matter." THE CONSOLIDATED NOTES "Then, on her representation of her father's and her own business aptitude, you advanced that sum?" "Yes, sir." "Then were there any more notes made?" "On May 10th, when she represented that she wanted $500. I told her she had better take up the $300 and $200, and so four notes for $260 each were made. These were made to let Mrs. Jenkins have a longer time within which to pay." "It was a single transaction, the mak ing of those notes?" "Yes." "All made at once, and the money re ceived from the same bank?" "Yes, sir." "Explain how Mrs, Jenkins got the money on tbe two notes In evidence and not the other two?" "That's a law quibble, but I can tell, I think." "Well, go along." "The two notes ln bank liquidated the money overdue." "And yet those two notes ln the bank may have been the money on the Gott helf matter, may they not?" "If you like to put it that way." "Where does Mrs.-Gotthelf live?" "I really don't know." "Her business place?" "On Spring street." "Were you in good health and mentally sound at that time, Dr.?" "Well, we can't always say as to that." "Yes, but as a physician, how would you say?" "Yes, I think so." "Then why d.ld you not go down to inquire of Mrs. Gotthelf regarding th< matter?" "Because Mrs. Jenkins wanted It kept quiet." "Yes; she didn't want it bruited around; she was treating you confi dentially, was she not, and you her?" "Yes; sir." "And.

"Did you ever, until the arrest ot Mrs. Jenkins, make any inquiries ot Mrs. OotthelfT" "Yea; when I returned from the east in July, through my attorney." "But not personally." "I considered- if I did it through my attorney it was the same as it I did It myself." "When you returned did you find where Mrs. Jenkins was?" "I saw by the papers she was at the Auditorium, Chicago, and went to San Francisco ln August." "Why didn't you have her arrested al San Francisco?" "Because the notes weren't due." "When did the first fall due ?" "On August 26th." "And when did you pay it?" 'I can't say without looking at my check book." "You had not been sued or any pro ceedings) taken, to make you pay?" "I was notified by the bank, and paid it." "Did you notify Mrs. Jenkins that the note was about due, and give her an opportunity to meet it?" "I did. I wrote her on August 17th." AFTERNOON SESSION Upon court reconvening at 2 oclock Mr. Davis resumed his examination of Dr. Bert Ellis- with regard to the letter which he sent Mrs. Jenkins, notifying her that the notes would soon fall due. The witness submitted a copy of the letter, which he had retained. Other letters also were submitted by witness as being copies of others sent to Mrs. Jenkins since the time when he discov ered that the Gotthelf partnership scheme was a myth. One letter, Dr Ellis stated, he had sent to the defendant last Friday, a copy of which he had not retained. With regard to the letters under date of August 30th, and September 16th the witness stated that they were exact copies or the letters sent. Upon witness reading the flrst communication, Mr. McComas moved that It be stricken out. It referred to an operation that Mrs. Jenkins was about to have performed in San Francisco. The court overruled the motion. Mr. McComas maintained that the letter was foreign to the issue, but Mr. Davis explained for the benefit of the deputy district attorney, that he would attempt to make it domestic to the issue. And in went the letters. "When the money was obtained, ln May, it did not pass Into your hands, did It?" "No, sir." "And of your own knowledge you don't know she ever got a dollar?" "No, sir." "The money you paid; to the bank was not ln her presence, and she had nothing to do with the transaction?" "No, sir." "You are confident Mrs. Jenkins said she had paid madame $500 and that it was necessary to put up $500 before 3 oclock In the afternoon?" "Yes, sir." "And she told you next day that she had had an extension of time granted?" "Yes, sir. My remembrance Is that she telephoned me saying that Mme. Gotthelf had extended the time to 3 oclock next day, the 12th." "And on the strength of her represen tation that payment was to be made on the 12th you helped Ver out?" "Yes, sir." It seemed as If witness was drifting his own case away, the charge alleged being specific on the 10th, and so Mr. McComas interposed to ask witness if he knew just how he was answering coun sel's questions. He warned him to look out, as Mr. Davis was a very cunning fellow and would lead him astray. THE ARREST PLANNED Dr. Bert Ellis, being asked to recite the substance of the letter he sent to the defendant on last Friday, said it was merely making an appointment and say ing that he would be in San Francisco and would send up his card at a certain hour. "You made an appointment ln order that she might be expecting you, and that she might be captured by the dep uty sheriff, did you not?" inquired Mr. Davis. "I guess that's about how it was," was the reply. "And you had no intention of going to San Francisco?" "Not at that time." "And your personal card was sent up by the deputy sheriff so that Mrs. Jenk ins might anticipate receiving you with pleasure and be captured by the officer?" "Yes; that's about it." "Is that, doctor, not a case of willful and false misrepresentation?" And Mr. Davis injected a tinge of sarcasm Into his voice as he asked the question. Objection was taken by the prosecu tion and sustained. Witness, in answer to Mr. Davis' queries, stated that he paid the notes two days before they fell due, in order that if ever opportunity offered to sue for recovery he could do so. "You were thinking, then, of recov ering by civil process?" was Mr. Davis' next Inquiry. "Yes, sir." "When did {Tie question of false rep resentations flrst creep into your mind?" "I really could not tell you." Dr. Ellis was questioned at length on this point, but could not tell Just when the idea flrst occurred to him. He denied that any suggestion came from the dis trict attorney, and could not say wheth er it came to him by intuition or not. That ended his examination, and he was retired from the stand. MRS. JENKINS' AMBITION Madame Dora Gotthelf, of the fash ionable millinery store at 121 Spring street, testified that she had carried on business for thirteen years. She knew, she said, Mrs. Jenkins as a customer, but denied that she ever paid witness any money for any interest in her busi ness. On cross-examination, Madame Gott helf stated that Mrs. Jenkins had been a customer of hers for about Aye years. She said she remembered one day Mrs. Jenkins made a remark that the busi ness was a good one, and she'd like to be in Buch a one. Wltnesß laughingly replied to her that she ought to. buy her out. That occurred somewhere about a year ago. W. H. Holliday, cashier of the Mer chants' National bank, testified to the two notes for $250 each having been paid on the day they were endorsed. He testified that there were four notes of $50 each, and one for $300, and Mrs. Jen kins came into the bank and wanted to know If she could get $1000 If Dr. Bert Bills went with her on the notes. She said she was going Into some enterprise for herself, and the doctor was going to help her out. Charles Udell, the attorney who acted for Dr. Bert Ellis through the transac tion, stated that be bad met Mrs. Jen kins three occasions. On August 26 or ta he had a conversation at the San Nicholas hotel at San Francisco. She then stated that she had put ln over 11000 Into Madame Gotthelf's business, and had got nothing out. That there had been made a written agreement be fore witness, and that Walter Trask drew the agreement. During one of these conversations, too, she said the agreement was executed In. Walter Trask's office. She said she couldn't pay the doctor the money, and that she was sorry, and would pay him some time. In the second) conversation Mrs. Jenkins said that the Gotthelf's owed nearly 32000, and upon questioning her on. that point she said she had put in 31000 to protect the 3500 she had first put In. There were four notes spoken of, the first of which had already fallen due. At the third interview she said the doc tor hod very kindly consented to go on the notes, ln order to help her save the -3500. We discussed) the subject of the money first put ln, the Gotthelf's, and asked her If she could not sue them if the doctor put up the money. I was afraid that the agreement might have been, so loosely drawn that they might beat her out of the money. It was then that she spoke of Its having been drawn up by Walter Trask. That ended the case for the prosecu tion. Mr. Davis then proceeded to argue ln favor of a dismissal of the case on the grounds mainly as outlined in the introduction. The counsel is bless ed as few others at tbe Los An geles bar with a flow of speech that, whether one agree with the arguments advanced or not, is never wearisome. For about'an hour he addressed the court, and with the result that the moot point is to be decided on briefs as here tofore indicated.

Blackburn, convicted ot having sent scurrilous and threatening postal cards through the mails, was taken before Judge Wellborn ln the district court yesterday morning for sentence.
