INDIGNANT MOTHERS CALL A MASS-MEETING
Aroused by the Crimes of
Which Old Men Are
Charged. i
PROOF ACCUMULATING.
Christian Women Fear the Power
of Wealth in Aid of the
Accused.
THERE WAS TALK OF LYNCHING
Lane Bailed— Other Charges to Be
Made Against Him, Ratz and
Meyer To-Day.
Judge Campbell's courtroom was packed
to the doors yesterday morning by men
who were curious to see Captain Peter F.
Lane, Leon K. (Meyer and Philip Ratz, the
three old men charged with criminal
assault upon young girls.
Lane is a white-haired old patriarch 78
years of ace and almost deaf and blind.
Meyer is 71 years of age, but in apparent
possession of his faculties. Eatz is a short,
stout man 56 years of age.
The three were arraigned and their pre
liminary examination was set for to-mor
row, unless their counsel should then ask
for a further continuance. Judge Camp
bell refused to fix bail and they were taken
back to the prison.
There were angry mutterings among the
spectators in court and threats of lynch
ing were heard. Mrs. French and Mrs.
Oatman of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union were in the City Prison,
and they did not hesitate to express their
feeling of indignation against the three
prisoners.
Half a dozen other girls were taken to
the City Prison yesterday morning by
Policeman Rourke and Officers McMurray
and Holbrook of the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Children and they
identified each of the prisoners. The chil
dren were placed, along with the five
others, in the care of Matron Gilmore at
the prison and will be kept there till they
give their testimony against the prisoners.
General McCornb of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children says it
is one of the most aggravated cases that
has ever occurred in this City. Thus far
he has learned of between twenty-five and
thirty little girls who have been victims of
the three prisoners.
Last evening Judge Low accepted bond?
for Lane's release. One bond was for $tiOiiO
and the other for $3000. It is -probable
that additional charges will be registered
against him to-day.
The ladies of the W. C. T. U. and its
various branches, with Mrs. Rose French
and Mrs. G. R. Oatman at their head, do
not intend that the prosecution shall lose
anything in the way of moral support and
backing.
The ladie? and their lieutenants visited
all the churches where prayer-meeetings
were held last nijjht. and interested the
mothers of the congregation? in the prose
cution. After the younger persons had
been dismissed tho elder women were ad
dressed on the subject and urged to carry
on an active campaign in the interest of
justice.
The Civic Federation has also taken up
the matter and the members of that or
ganization will support the ladies in pack
ing Judge Campbell's courtroom Friday.
Mrs. Rose French said laat night: "We
want the mothers of the City awakened to
the awful state of affairs existing in our
midst. That is the chief object of the
mass-meeting called for Sunday. In my
investigations to-day I have discovered
many things that are even unknown to
the police, and the horror of the discov
eries is enough to make every mother
shudder and the fathers who have
daughters to become avencers.
"But what we most want to accomplish
in this immediate case is to enforce justice
in he face of wealth. I understand that
these men have means. One of them, I
am told, is worth $300,000. If they were
poor men they would suffer the fullest pen
alty of the law. Unless the moral element
of the community takes up the battle their
wealth will save them. That is why we
want to pack the courtroom Friday after
noon.
"The Civic Federation is with us heart
and soul, and before we get through, the
eyes of the mothers will be opened in
horrified astonishment before the proof of
the terrible influences to which the
daughters of the land are submitted."
After addressing the prayer meetings
the ladies decided to a call a mass-meeting
of mothers to be held at the Central
Methodist Church Sunday afternoon. At
tnis meeting the crimes of which Lane,
Ratz and Meyer are accused will be
denounced and a crusade against vice will
be inaugurated.
TRIG THE TOBIN CASE
An Action for Damages Fraught
With Some Interesting
Incidents.
The First Day's Evidence Gives Every
Promise of Another Interest
ing Trial.
The trial of the suit of Mrs. Elizabeth
Tobin against the Pacific Coast Blood
horse Association, Thomas H. Williams,
its president, and Captain Callundan of
Harry Morse's detective agency, was
opened before Judge Dougherty yesterday.
Mrs. Tobin was ejected from the betting
ring at the Bay District Track on Decem
ber 10, 1892, and was afterward expelled
from the track and taken to a police
station, where she was charged with dis
turbing the peace. She says she was
unnecessarily humiliated and she has
brought suit for $25,000 damages.
The trial begun yesterday is but a con
tinuation of a trial some months ago in
which the jury failed to agree, and like the
former case the evidence is not coming in
smoothly. There was a fainting fit and
an exchange of high words during the
morninsr, the plaintiff herself being the
principal figure in the first event, and
"Williams as a witness and Matt Sullivan,
counsel for the plaintiff, appeared in the
second, in the afternoon "Fat Jack/
O'Connor aired his views regarding Mr.
Foote and Mr. Foote performed a like
office on behalf of O'Connor.
The fainting tit was sudden, and caused
quite a commotion in the courtroom. Mrs.
Tobiu was on the stand, and Mr. Foote
was cross-examining her when her head
bobbed forwatd and she remained silent
even to Mr. Foote's questions. In a mo
ment the space behind the bar seemed full
of bailiffs and counsel and witnesses for
the plaintiff, each bounding toward the
witness. Mr. Sullivan, in his efforts to
carry her a glass of water, turned over the
pitcher on the judicial desk, and his
Honor received the icy contents in the
waistband; his' book of notes had to be
placed on a line to dry, and his blotting
pad was soaked through. The fainting
lady was finally borne out of the court
room to a chair in the corridor, and there
she revived, while Thomas Williams was
called to the stand. This is the second
fainting tit the trial has cost the plaintiff;
in the former trial similar circumstances
brought a similar result.
Williams was but a short time on the
stand when matters began to assume
serious proportions. Mrs. Tobin had tes
tified that the tirst time she saw Williams
in the betting ring he asked her to tt»ke a
drink with him. She refused and threat
ened to slap his face. Williams says he
!ir*t saw her when she slapped him on the
back and asked him which horse was
going to win. He took further occasion to
say that what Mrs. Tobin had testified to
was not true and that she had perjured
herself.
"Never mind," said Sullivan, "the jury
will determine whether she is committing
penury or you are."
'•Do you mean to say I am committing
perjury ?" \\ illiams asked, excitedly, and
jumping from the witness chair he "t-hook
liis fist~in Sullivan's face and demanded
that he. make his charge in plain lan
guaee and then come out into the corridor
and settle the matter without judicial in
terference. The judicial interference was
there, however, and the belligerent Mr.
Williams was obliged to sit down quietly.
Recess brought with it surcease of
wrangling, and Judge Dougherty got down
from the bench and sat in the sun through
the noon hours. When court convened
again his Honor was still the coolest of
the lot, although the signs of contention
had disappeared to a great extent from
counsel. They returned to Mr. Foote, for
the defense, and Mr. O'Connor, plaintiff's
witness, once more, however, before court
closed.
Mr. O'Connor, better known as "Fat
Jack" O'Connor, had been called to tell
how he had threatened to break the face
of any one who would hit the lady; how
the crowd at the track cheerea him and
jeered defendant and his hirelings, and
how it was he who insisted that the lady
be driven to the police station in a hack
instead of the more homely vehicle usu
ally assigned to that duty. Mr. Foote
asked if the hack had not stopped at
Dickey's, and the rotund Mr. O'Connor
admitted that it had stopped in order
that a glass of "something" might be
secured for the fainting lady — and inci
dentally that something more might be
secured" by Mr. O'Connor for his own
Mr. Foote asked if he was a drinking
man. The witness said he had always
been willing to assist the liquor trade, and
that he took a drink now and then, "just .
as you do yourself, Mr. Foote." This was
stricken out, and Mr. Foote declined to
admit that he was, in any way a devotee of
red liquor. Mr. O'Connor courteously in
sisted upon his comparison, and tnen Mr.
Foote announced that he declined to con
sider himself in the O'Connor class at all.
Mr. O'Connor said he, too, was discrim
inating in the choice of his friends.
Matt feullivan insisted the whole matter
was irrelevant and should be stricken out,
and his Honor sat in his chair unable to
i;et a word in edgeways until he had seized
v ruler and had joined tin bailiff in a duet
on table and desk. Then must of the mat
ter whs stricken from the record, for the
shorthand man had taken it all down, and
the trial assumed a quieter course toward
the 4 o'clock adjournment.
ADROITLY MADE TO TALK
Attorney Campbell Succeeds in
Unloosing Marvin L. Free
man's Tongue.
A Most Dramatic Scene in Commis"
sioner Heacock's Room — An
Amusing Ending.
As clever a bit of legal acumen as was
probably ever displayed in a courtroom in
this City developed yesterday in the cele
brated Freeman- Westinghouse patent case
on hearine before Commissioner Heacock.
It was also dramatic in its result and
Joseph Campbell was the hero.
Marvin L. Freeman, one of the witnesses
brought here by the Westinghouse people,
had on Tuesday refused to answer certain
questions asked by counsel for the defend
ant on the ground that to do so would in
criminate him, ana in this way escaped
having to answer a charge of contempt of
court before Circuit Judge McKenna. His
position was taken under instruction of
John L. Boone, his counsel, who explained
that witness since his arrival here had
been induced, by undue influence, threats
and trickery, to make an affidavit contra
dicting his former deposition made at Chi
cago, and that if he were to answer ques
tions relating to the matter in his Chicago
deposition he would lay himself liable to
prosecution for perjury by one side or the
other.
During the course of his redirect exami
nation yesterday morning by Attorney
Mackaye on behalf of the Westinghouse
Company, the witness stated, on being
shown a certain document claimed to be
his affidavit contradicting his Chicago
deposition, that he had not signed such a
statement. This was the admission that
made the opening for Attorney Joseph
Campbell, and winch was adroitly used to
change the mental attitude of the witness,
unloose his tongue and induce him to
give testimony directly against the defend
ant, whose witness he is.
When the afternoon session beean ex
pectancy was raised to a high pitch by the
presence of Attorney Campbell. There
was a close conference between him and
Mackaye, and also between the witness
and his attorney, before the session
opened.
Something akin to consternation became
depicted on the countenance of the
witness, his counsel, Attorney Church,
ana his client when Campbell in atone
that intimated he would brook no evasion
asked the witness the question that he has
already twice evaded answering since he
has been on the stand. It related to the
induction coils or converter on which is
principally based the patent claims of
waiter K. Freeman, the plaintiff in the
suit. The witness was asked if he had
seen them at a time and place stated in his
Chicago deposition.
There ensued a long and profound silence
which was finally interrupted by Attorney
Boone, who instructed the witness not to
answer. Then another wait. Becoming
impatient at last Attorney Campbell re
marked suavely to witness, "Will you
please answer?"
Witness — Will you please give me time
until 1 get ready? A little later came: "I
refuse to answer, as to do so would in
criminate me."
Campbell— Would it tend to convict you of a
felony?
Witness— l am really not enlightened enough
to say whether it would or not.
Campbell— Then you do not put your refusal
to answer ihis question upon the ground that
It would convict you of a felony?
Witness— l think It would.
Campbell— Then you think your answer to
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1895.
this question would tend to convict you of a
felony, and on that ground you refuse to
answer?
Witness— l do.
Campbell— ls that your sole reason?
Witness— Yes.
Campbell— lf you should answer the question,
you would answer it truthfully?
Witness— Yes.
Campbell— And the former deposition you
gave in this case you claim to be true?
Witness— l do.
Campbell — Then will you please explain how,
if this is true and you answer this question, it
would tend to convict you of a felony?
Here there was another long pause and
there was a clearly apparent mental strain
on every one present, for all realized that
the crisis had come and that witness
must either abandon his obdurate posi
tion or take chances on being punished
for contempt of court. The witness had
himself repudiated the alleged contra
dictory affidavit, and both witness and his
attorney evidently saw the dangerous
ground witness was resting upon. Mar
vin L. Freeman, however, had repeatedly
averred that he would not answer the
questions involved and would rather go to
jail than do so. But the mental picture of
yawning jail doors conjured up by the
tone, manner and words of Attorney
Campbell proved too much for the witness.
Relief from the tense situation came
through Attorney Boone. He asked per
mission for witness to consult with him,
which was promptly granted by Attorney
Campbell. Witness and his attorney
absented themselves from the room for a
few minutes, and on their return Mr.
Boone made the following announce
ment:
"Counsel for witness states that now and
here witness waives any claim or right
under the plea of incriminating himself,
relating to any testimony heretofore given
by him. and will answer any questions put
to him."
An audible sigh of relief went up from
all sides, and Attorney Campbell arose, re
marking: "Well, I guess I've got no fur
ther business here."
"I thought you were going to continue
the examination of witness," said Attorney
Church in a regretful tone.
"Oh, no; I am not sufficiently posted on
electrical technicalities," responded Camp
bell.
"For that matter I will lend you some
books to post yourself," was Church's gen
erous response.
Attorney Campbell's hands went up in
mock horror as he laughingly and quickly
replied: "No you don't. You loaned one
man some of your booKs. and he is now
serving six months in the Alameda jail for
contempt of court."
After Attorney Campbell's departure
Mackaye began the direct examination of
the witness de novo, and he testified as
he had done at Chicago in favor of Walter
K. Freeman.
When Attorney Mackaye was asked
whether Marvin L. Freeman was to b<;
prosecuted for perjury in connection with
his affidavit made in' this City he replied
that that was a matter for future consid
eration.
The plaintiff claims that the victory of
Attorney Campbell over Marvin L. Free
man was of the greatest advaniage to him,
as it had been impossible for him to induce
Marvin to testify as he is now doing, owing
to hiM fears of being prosecuted for perjury
in connection with the affidavit Mackaye
claims to have. The case continues to-day.
TO SUE STOCKHOLDERS.
Unpaid Capital of the People's
Bank Wanted for Liquid-
ation.
John Flournoy Will File One Hun
dred and Seventy Com
plaints.
Suits are soon to be brought in the inter
est of the several hundred depositors who
suffered through the failure of the People's
Bank.
By resolution passed at a meeting of the
board of directors several months ago the
unpaid capital stock, amounting to two
thirds of $1,000,000, was called in. Accord
ing to the terms of the resolution, John
Fiournoy, the attorney for the bank, was
authorized to take such steps as he deemed
necessary to compel the payment of the
unpaid stock if the same was in default
after the 'Jhth of August.
The stockholders wt-re given until the Ist
of November to pay up. Subsequently a
resolution was submitted at a session" of
the board of directors extending the time
until the 1-t of December. That resolu
tion did uot meet the approval of a major
ity of the directors, and "now Attorney
Fiournoy is making his pieparations for
bringing suit to collect six hundred and
sixty odd thousand dollars for the benefit
of the depositors.
r .Phe original capital stock was $1,000,000.
Only one-third was paid up, and under a
section of the by-laws the directors are
piven the power and authority to call in
the other two-tuirds whenever it may be
deemed necessary and to the best interests
of the institution. As one of the resolu
tions -et forth, the liabilities exceed the
assets by more than 6H% per cent of the
entire capital stock, and if the full amount
of the unpaid stock was realized it would
lack much of making the depositors even.
The defendant-stockholders will number
between 160 and 170. Attorney Flournov
said yest-rday that it is doubtful whether
a third of the stock can be collected.
"There are many men," he said, "how
ever willing they might be, who are un
able to pay up. Much of the stock was
transferred for voting purposes, and many
of the present holders are not solvent. The
percenta-e of solvent holders, in fact is
small, and therefore, I say, it is question
able whether we can recover more than a
third. No matter how these 170 suits re
sult it will be for the benefit of those who
have suffered the most— the depositors.
There is also much doubt about the other
assets. The City and County property be
longing to the bank is an extremely doubt
ful quantity. Property that has been as
sessed at $160,000, we will say for example,
mi-ht not sell for more than $130,000. The
same discrepancy is liable to occur in the
disposition of all the bank's realty posses
sions.
"But we will do the best we can for the
suffering depositors, and get hold of as
much stockholder money as possible."

CUBAN VOLUNTEERS NEARLY READY TO MARCH
Say They Are Only Wait
ing for Orders From
Headquarters.
TRANSPORTATION READY
Eastern Leaders Evidence Much
Interest in the New
Movement.
CONGRESSMAN LOUD CAUTIOUS.
Organizer D. Cronin Says Now Is the
Time to Strike a Blow at Hated
John Bull.
The movement recently started in this
City among the Irish-American citizens,
looking toward the formation of a com
pany to aid the Cuban insurgents in their
struggle for independence, has at last as
sumed definite shape.
The Irish-American Cuban Volunteers,
as the military organization is known,
held an enthusiastic meeting yesterday.
It appears, from the statement of those
directly concerned, that they are now

practically ready to move, and may any
day hie themselves in squads of two and
four to a certain Atlantic coast point,
where transportation to the island is
already assured them.
Captain Robinson, at whose place of
business on Mission street the meeting
was held, occupied the chair. Several
communications were read from men anx
ious to cast their lot with the movement,
the officers and organizers also reporting
success in the matter of enrolling recruits.
Many applications were rejected, as none
but recognized sympathizers witn the Irish
cause are allowed to participate.
From all over America have come let
ters offering financial aid and sympathy
and wishing the volunteers Godspeed in
the undertaking. Every Irish society of
note in America has taken notice of the
San Francisco movement. From Roch
ester. N. Y." comes the following letter,
which is a fair sample of .the hundreds re
ceived. For obvious reasons the name of
the writer is withheld:
Rochester, N. V., Nov. 7, 1895.
D. J. Cronin Esq.— Dear Sir: You may be
sure that I am pK-a&ed to know that the cause
of liberty has earnest frienrts in San Krancisoo.
You will understand that I am simply an in
strument in the hands of others taking orders
from them and acting only throuph them. At
present the watchword is "silence." In any
manner that 1 can aid or direct in forwarding
men to Cuba call on me.
1 am proud that such a company as the
Cnban Volunteers is being organized in your
City and in my own behalf as well as others
directly interested nend greeting and God
speed in the noble work you are doing. The
cause should be dear to every man who
breathes the breath of liberty in our own free
America. Yours in sympathy, • • • * *
The writer of this is one of the best
known of the American-Irish leaders, and
consequently a statement of this sort
should be worth something.
Lieutenant Lorrigan gave a graphic de
scription of Cuba and its surroundings, go
ing into minute detail concerning the mili
tary posts, their locations, the various
accessible harbors and the lookout points
to be avoided. Lorrigan claims to have
traveled all over Cuba and consequently
knows every foot of the ground.
Corporal Casey of the commissary de
partment made an encouraging report, in
which lie stated that everything needed
was either on hand or promised in such
shape as to be accessible at a moment's
notice. The committee on transportation
stated that they had nearly perfected ar
rangements for from 100 to 500 men to be
transported to the Eastern coast to a point
not yet agreed on. They asked for an
other week's time.
Several communications were read from
local and Eastern Irisn-Americans as well
as from men of other nationalities, the
writers appearing full of enthusiasm and
promising the volunteers substantial aid
as soon as marching orders were sent out.
Captain Robinson and D. Cronin spoke at
length on the encouraging reports from
Cuba and of the almost assured success of
the insurgents. Cronin in his closing re
marks said:
The British lion will soon be bearded in hia
lair by the American eagle and the Russian
bear. The war clouds are already hovering
over John Bull's head. The people of this Ke
public will not allow him to trample on the
Monroe doctrine. Our Bister republics will not

LOUD IS CAUTIOUS.
Proposes to Await Further Dovel-
opments Before Recognizing
the Insurgents.
Congressman Eugene F. Loud is inclined
to be somewhat cauti us in dealing witn the
Cuban situation. In speaking of the prob
ability of the insurgents being recognized
as a belligerent power, he said :
"My sympathies are with the Cubans,
as I believe are those of all Americans,
whose sympathies are generally with the
weaker nation.
"With my knowledge of the situation I
should not favor the recognition of the
Cubans as belligerents at this time. We
have got to get at the official correspond
ence on the matter. When it shall appear
to my mind that the insurgents in Cuba
have established a government which is
well sustained and seems strong enough to
carry on a successful revolution then I
shall favor the recognition of the belliger
ents.
"I am inclined 'to be cautious, because
the Cubans are a peculiar composition as a
people. This is a question that I should
like to investigate myself. It is conceded
that a large portion of the people in Cuba
are negroes, half-breeds and their off
spring, and they possibly may not be the
best kind of people to manage the affairs
of the Governmtnt.
"These are important questions that
every legislator must investigate and un
derstand before he gives his support to the
recognition of the Cubans. As an Ameri
can I would be willing to take any reason
able steps that would result in benefit to
our country. A proper and stable form of
government there would certainly result
in great benefits to the trade of the United
States.
"I suppose a resolution might be intro
duced in the House, but it would be an
unusual proceeding, as the recognition of
the insurgents is a matter for diplomatic
rather than legislative action. It would
most properly come before Congress by
means of a recommendation by the Presi
dent.
"I am heartily in favor of local govern
ment for all countries, and am, "on the
other hand, heartily opposed to the Gov
ernment of Cuba or any other country by
a monarchical government."

Hawkins has made a number of improve
ments, and Mr. Atkinson thought they
were sorely needed.
However, Mr. Atkinson said that the
building itself was unfit for a Morgue,
and he ventured a belief that the Grand
Jury would condemn the present Morgue
and instruct the Board of Supervisors to
