10 A STAR DAY Carmen Montez Tries to Explain That Letter SAYS IT WAS NOT BLACKMAIL BUT SHE TRIED TO PLAY GRIF FITH FOR $160 Attorney Oliver Feels Called Upon to Justify His Position—Bird's Sureties All Secured Yesterday was a star day in Depart ment one and the attorneys engaged in the ease of XI. A. Bird excelled them selves in spatting and wrangling until Judge Smith lost all patience and then there was an explosion. The court scored Deputy District Attorney Mc- Comas first, and to that gentleman's modest remonstrance and reminder that he knew how to try a case, retorted that he did not. Mr. Meserve tried to speak his little piece, but in the attempt to rub in the court's remarks to Mr. McComas Came to grief himself. He got rapped over the knuckles— metaphorically, of course—and for the remainder of the day a more subdued air distinguished the several legal gentlemen. During the morning the cross-examin ation of Mr. Griffith was concluded and after Mr. Hammond, paying teller at the First National bank, and one or two other witnesses had been examined Miss Carmen Montez was put forward by the prosecution. This little lady—and she is very petite of form—was somewhat gorgeously arrayed in a gown of ruddy colored velvet with high Elizabethan collar that formed a background for a 3panlsh type of face. The court room was packed, for every one was desirous to know just what figure that letter •written by Miss Montez to Mr. Griffith and published yesterday in The Herald would cut in the case. But this witness ■wasn't inclined to tell too much. After a few preliminary questions the exam ination was continued somew hat as fol lows: "How long have you known Mr. Bird." inquired Mr. McMcComas. "I can't tell; about five months," was the rather non-committal reply. "I'll ask you if you saw him on Au gust 19, 1597?" "I guess I did." "Whereabouts?" "At my house, 040?!. New High street, In the afternoon." "How long did he remain?" "Not very long. I was very busy and Bid not notice the exact time." "Did he say to you on that occasion anything about any trouble over a Check, with Mr. C.rifnth?" "No, sir; not at my house." "He did somewhere else, did he?" "He told me at the Canary cottage that Mr. Griffith accused him of forg ing a check for $200." "Where is the Canary cottage, and how do you go there?" "Mr. Bird and I just went for a drive." "And what did you do?" "We sat in the public parlor, and then he said that Mr. Griffith accused him of forging a $2UQ check on the First Na tional bank." "How did it come up?" "I don't know, unless he was full." "What did you say." "I didn't say anything. I thought he was either full or crazy." "Did the defendant tell you that he had draw n $200?" "No, sir; he did not." "What did he say, then?" "Mr. Griffith had sent him to see some man, he said, and he had rung Mr. Gritfitb up. and was then asked if he had draw n $200 out of the bank, and he replied that he had not." "What did you say?" "I told him I was going to see Mr. Griffith about the matter." "And what did he say?" "He said 1 could do what I liked." "And you did, sec Mr. Griffith, didn't you?" "Yes, sir." "And you then told Mr. Griffith what Bird had told you?" "I told him part of it, but not until I had heard his part of the story first." "You questioned Mr. Griffith then?" "Yes, sir, because I thought Mr. Bird had been drinking and did not know What he was saying." "Was Mr. Bird al your house when you returned from your Interview with Mr Griffith." "Yes, sir; he remained until next even ing, about 5 or 6 o'clock." "Did he tell you any more about the Check." "No, sir." "Did you tell him all that transpired at your interview with Mr. Griffith." "I told hint part. That Mr. Griffith had said he had employed him under very peculiar circumstances, and that he knew that Bird had forged a check on the bank that day." That ended the direct examination, and then the witness was taken in hand by the' defense. "When, Miss Montez, was the first time you swore that Mr. Bird said that he told Mr. Griffith over the telephone that he had not drawn $200 from the bank?" began Mr. l J i ndleton. "At the first trial of the case." "Why did > .ot not in' et ion it at the Awarded Highest Honors—World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair. BAKING POWDER A Pure fJrape Cream ol Tartar Powder. / 40 YEARS THE STANDARD. preliminary examination?" was the next query. "Well," answered" witness in a dubious tone, "I afterwards talked with the attorneys for the prosecution, Mr. Grif fith and Mr. Mallory. They all seemed to think I knew all about it, and I said I didn't. They asked me about the mat ter and then I testified on the trial." "Then their suggesting that Bird ans wered Mr. Griffith over the wire .and the I thought that they knew more than you .about it had nothing to do with your stating the fact?" "Oh, yes, sir, It had." "And your memory was fresher at the preliminary examination, was It not, than at the trial?" "No, sir; we had talked about it after that." "Oh, they refreshed your memory, did they?" "Yes, sir." "While you were at the Canary cot tage did you retire from the public parlors during your staT there?" "No, sir." "What kind of a place Is the cottage?" "Just an ordinary road house." "How did you return to town?" "Mr. Wheedon—one of the proprietors —drove us in." "And you went thnt night about 11 o'clock to the Hollenbeck to see Mr. Griflith, did you?" "res, sir; he came out, and I asked him to step into the cab, as I wanted to see him on a matter of business. He step ped in and struck a match and surveyed me. I told him then why I had come; that Bird was at my house, and was drinking, and that as I was running 'a house,' 1 might get into trouble. He then said yes, that he didn't wonder that I Bird wouldn't face him. considering his | athletic powers, and that he was satis fied that Bird had forged a check for j $200 that day." "Has Mr. Griflith ever given you any money, Miss Montez?" insinuatingly asked Mr. Pendleton, striking out on a new line. "I don't see why you should ask that." responded the witness, hesitatingly. Counsel persisted, and Miss Montez in quired of the court whether she was ob liged to answer. Meeting with no relief, then the witness answered boldly: "Yes, he gave me $10." "How did it come about?" "I wrote to him asking for $10, and he sent it to me." "What time was it?" "I don't remember the date." "How was it with regard to the first trial?" "It was after that, while I was living at the Colonial Hats." "How was it sent to you?" "The messenger boy brought back an unaddressed envelope, and inside 1 found a $10 greenback." "Was that the only note that passed between you and Mr. Griffith?" "No, sir." "When did you send the next?" "I wrote, asking for $160, but didn't get it." "How did it come that you sent to him? Was there any understanding between you?" "Well. I thought I could get it—that's all I can say." "You thought, didn't you. that you could pull his leg. isn't that It?" A howl went up. and the court inter posed, while witness said: "He seemed to be very anxious to con vict Mr. Bird, and I thought—well. 1 thought I rould get it." "Have you talked with any uf the prosecution since the last trial?" "With Mr. McComas." "Don't you know this gentleman." in quired counsel, indicating Mr. Oliver. ' Yes. sir. Mr. Oliver used to be my at torney. I sent him once to Mr. Grif fith, to tell him that I wished to see him. When he returned he said that he could not talk to Mr. Griffith; that the latter talked rambllngly about Bird and him self, and he could do nothing with him." "What else did you talk about with Mr. McComas or Mr. Oliver?" "Mr. Oliver was my attorney, and I don't see why I should Lull anything." "Was there any agreement between yourself and Mr. Oliver that he should get in this case and divide the money j he made with you?" Tlie question was barred out, the try ing of attorneys being a side issue and too big a contract for the court to un dertake. Mr. Wheedon, proprietor of the Can ary cottage, testified to Bird's having stated on the day he and Carmen Mon tez were at his place that he was going [to shoot himself. Witness remonstrated and said he didn't want any shooting, and thereupon Bird put up the revolver that lie had drawn. Witness stated that he didn't think Bird was intoxi cated, but he didn't think, judging from his hesitating manner, that the de fendant was at that time in his normal condition. Mr. Griffith, recalled by the prosecu tion, was examined on one or two points, and thin Mr. Oliver, associate counsel for the prosecution, asked of tlie court, as a matter of personal privilege, that Mr. Griffith be allowed to explain before he left the stand how it came about that he employed him to represent him. in view of the insinuations against his character which had been made during the examination of Miss Montez. he asked that his request be granted as a matter of justice to him as a member of the bar and an officer or the court, Mr. Pendleton protested against Mr. Griffith's being permitted to enter into [any lengthy explanation. Counsel said I thnt if anything had been said or done reflecting upon the integrity of Mr. Oli ver that placed him in a false light, lie 'himself would tell the jury just how the I matter stood. "We have unfi tided certain matters, and we told Mr. Oliver that we would investigate with him and see if j\vo had been imposed upon, and if we found we had we ourselves would ex plain the matter to the jury." This was satisfactory so far, but the court allowed Mr. Griffith to state that he had engaged Mr. Oliver shortly after the first trial, and that Mr. Oliver had not solicited him in any way. That set tled that matter. Then Mr. Pendleton tried to extort the admission from Mr. Griffith that he had claimed about town that the First Na tional bank was backing Bird in his trial. The witness conceded thut Con rad Scherer, one of Bird's sureties, had told him that he was secured on the bond: that the money was in the bank, und if Bird escaped he wouldn't lose a cent. The further hearing will be continued today. THE LIBEL LAW Why the SIO.OOO Chronicle Suit Fell Through The decision of the supreme court in the case of Dr. Joseph C. Hearne. plain tin" ami respondent, vs. M. H. De Young and J. F. Blunt, defendants and appel lants, in which the trial court is re- jOS ANGELES HERALDt SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 29. 1898 — "I™ - " Ttn Royal is the highest grade baking powaar known. Actual tests show It seas oae tMrd farther than say other bras*). POWDER Absolutely Pure ROYAL BAKING POWDE* CO., Ntv* YORK. j Versed, was received in this city yester day. The appeal was from a Judgment obtained in San Diego against the de iendanta jointly for $10,000 damages for publication of an alleged libel. After examining certain of the evi dence adduced at the trial the supre"me court says that it is well settled that a defendant is not required in an action tor slander or libel to justify every word of the alleged defamatory matter; It is sufficient if the substance, the gist, the sting of the libelous charge be justified. Immaterial variances and defects of proof upon Immaterial matters go for nothing, and if the gist of the charge is established by the evidence the defend ant has made bis case. "The defendant." says the court, "should be held to a strict accountabil ity for all injury inflicted upon the wronged party; at the same time there is no sound reason to support the prop osition that a defendant must prove lit erally the truth Of his publication. It may be said that modern authority has adopted a more liberal rule as to this principle than was applied by courts in the ancient past." During the trial of the case certain witnesses testified as to their under standing of the alleged libelous article, and they stated that it was to the effect that the plaintiff. Dr. Hearne. was iharged with being particeps-oriminis In the murder of Amos Stillwell, whose family physician he was. This charac ter of evidence the supreme court holds was not admissible. Witnesses for the plaintiff ti> this proposition stood ex actly as the jurors. They were not learned men. knew nothing of the par ties or circumstances, save what they lathered from the publication. Their conclusions w ere based upon a reading ' if the article, and under such condi tions the jurors were as competent to UTive at a correct conclusion as to the meaning of the publication. 'No ambiguities appear upon the face if the article," says the court- ''Under lUCh circumstances it is libelous per se, ir it is not libelous at all. If by fair Inferences and deductions from the ar ticle taken as a whole it can be said that I murder is charged against plaintiff, then the article is libelous per se. When an trticle is libelous upon its face, and the party libeled is named upon the face of the article, there is no room for the in troduction of evidence of witnesses as to their understanding of its meaning." I In concluding the opinion the supreme ' court says there were other assignments of errors, but Inasmuch as a new trial had to be had. they are passed as not likely to again arise. The opinion was prepared by Justice Garroute, Justices Harrison and Van Fleet concurring.

THE DIVORCE MILL A Case Heard With Closed Doors but a Decree Refused Tii" divorce suit of Mary A. Little against Charles M. Little was heard l>y Judge Shaw yesterday partially behind closed doors. The charge upon which dl- Vorce was claimed was extreme cruelty, among other allegation! it being assert ed that the husband had called his wife by a variety of vile names. While upon the witness stand he emphatically de nied that and slated that his wife was a lady and that la-never had any occa sion to apply to her such epithets.
