MORE LAWYERS
GIVE EVIDENCE
Rather a Novel Spectacle in
Progress in the Fair-
Craven Trial.
Wheeler Finishes and Is Suc
ceeded by Attorneys Lloyd
and McEnerney,
Relate Their Conversation With Mrs.
Craven at the Time They Enthused
Over the "Pencil" Will. •
Although it is admittedly rather a novel
and unusual court performance, the at
torneys for the Fair heirs are just now
engage! in takine the stand as witnesses,
one by one, and giving testimony calcu
lated to materially strengthen their side
of the dispute over Mrs. Craven's deeds.
Toe threescore or more of regularly
subpenaed witnesses who have testified
do not appear to have been'sufficient.
Attorney Charles S. Wheeler, who had
held down the chair for two days, finished
his evidence during yesterday's session
and retired in favor of other of his asso
ciates. It was brought out in the course
of his cross-examination in the forenoon
that Mrs. Elisabeth Haskins was present
at most of his interviews with Mrs.
Craven — both at tbe latter's residence and
at his office. He remembered that some
thing had been said between Mrs. Haskins
and himself with reference to a receipt of
some sort, but Mr. Delmas, who was con
ducting the cross-examination, found it
difficult to make the testifying attorney
admit that that receipt showed the lady
was present at the meeting of Senator
Fair and Mrs. Craven when he drew up
the ink and pencil wills.
"Will you swear that you did not see
that receipt?" asked Mr. Delmas sharply.
Mr. Wheeler replied that to his best
recollection he did not. He remembered
that even tually Mrs. Haskins gave him a
receipt, but It' was not at the time referred
to by Mr. Delmas.
In answer to another line of questions
the witness said he had no personal
knowledge of Mrs. Craven's departure for
the East to regain possession of the two
wills. When asked if ho had received any
information on that subject an objection
was raised by Attorney McEnerney and
an argument ensued. After a long talk
Judge Slack ruled that Mr. Wheeler need
not Deforced to answer. After that Mr.
Uelniaa announced that the cross-exam
ination was at an end. Mr. Wheeler was
thereupon transferred back into Attorney
McEnerney's hands for redirect ques
tioning.
Mr. Wheeler was ten minutes late in
putting in bis appearance for the after
noon session and by doing so laid himself
open to a sharp rebuke trom the court.
Judge Slack has been patience personified
all through this weary trial, but he is ap
parently at last undergoing a change.
He wave! Mr. Wheeler off when the
latter sought to excuse the tardiness.
"I want to state right here," said h_3
Honor, "that I am not going to tclerate
any more of these needless delays. The
jurors are invariably in their seats
promptly on time, and the attorneys have
no more rights than they. We ilose from
ten to fifteen minutes every day, on this
account. Now I want this admonition
borne in mind.''
All of the attorneys bowed respectfully,
Mr. Wheeler accompanying his with
a crimson biu.h.
Mr. McEnerney then resumed his redi
rect examination of Wheeler, beginning
with a request that the witness relate, as
near as he could remember, tbe proceed
ings that took place in court Inst year
when the ''pencil" will was offered for
probate. This was objected to, uowev. r,
and ruled out.
McEnerney asked permission to ask Mr.
Wli.e er a question that be had omitted
to ask in direct examination. Being
frrantel the privilege, the witness was
asked if he or Attorney Lloyd ever made
a proposition to Mrs. Craven to purchase
her deed- ?
"I did not. Mr. Lloyd did not. Nobody
el"_e did. 1 know U."
That was ihe end of Wheeler's career as
a witnes.. He was glad of it and so was
everybody else. He now returned to the
t 'ble surrounded by bis associates and be
came a {lain ordinary attorney once
more. WGH
Mr. McEnerney offered at this point to
placa portions of Mrs. Craven's deposi
tion—aken long before ihe trial com
menced—in evidence as declarations made
by the lady.
"Mr. Delmas objected to this on the
ground that tbedocument could be offered
for nothing less than it was — complete
deposition. RBsfl_
Judge Denson supported his associate
with another objection to the effect that
Mrs. Craven had given her testimony in
court and one statement was sufficient.
Both of these objections were overruled,
however, and McEnerney read that por
tion of Mra. Craven's statement that re
lated to her trip to the East and her re
turn with the pencil will.
Mr. McEnerney was then placed on the
witness-stand, subjecting himself to tbe
questions of bis associate, Mr. Mitchell.
As was the case when Mr. Wheeler was
sworn, the request was made that that
action should not deprive the gentleman
of the rignt to argue to the jury at the
conclusion of the trial.
Mr. Delmas said ho nad no objection to
the whole line of counsel for the plaintiffs
taking the stand and arguing, 100.
Mr. McEnerney simply denied that he
even called at Mrs. Craven's honse and
offered her $100,000 for her deeds. He said
mat the first time he ever met her was in
Judge Slack's courtroom in 1896. ■'
Then another of the plaintiffs' attorneys
was called, this time the choice falling
upon Reuben H. Lloyd. This gentleman
said he had known Mrs. Craven for sev
eral years. To the best of his recollection
the first time lie talked with her after the
death of Senator Fair was in February.
1895. It was nt his office.
"I told her,'' continued Mr. Lloyd,
"that I nad been informed by Governor
Budd lhat she knew something about a
will left by Senator Fair bearing a later
date than that of the 'trust' will filed by
the executors. She said she did know
something about such a will and then we
talked the matter over."
Mr. Lloyd was asked to repeat that con
versation, but he said he could not recol
lect it all. We said he would be willing,
however, to give the substance of it as near
as he could remember. He nad had sev
eral talks with her on the subject of the
will and he did not believe he could segre
gate them in bis mind. '
An argument followed as to whether or
not Mr. Lloyd's not altogether steady rec
ollection would bo proper evidence. It
was finally ruled that Mr. Lloyd should
go ahead and do the best ho could.
"Mrs. Craven told me," went on Mr.
Lloyd, "that she knew about a later wili
but she did not care to give out any infor
mation about it. She said .he did not
care to have her name connected with
Senator Fair's, as it. might injure her. I
called on her at her school, and in fact
saw her several times, on which occasions
I urged her to tell me more about the will.
1 told her I was the attorney for the chil
dren of Fair and it was to their interest
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1897.
to know that there was a later will. She
finally told me she knew all about the
document and knew where it was it was
not in this State.
"She was a great friend of the Senator's,
she told me, and one day he told her that
certain persons had induced him to leave
his property in trust instead of directly
to his children. She said she chided the
Senator for not providing ditectly for his
children, and he agreed with ber. It was
t: en tnat he sat down in her house and
wrote a naw will. While he was doing so j
his attention was called to the fact that i
Mr.-. Fair had done better by the _- rls
tban by Charley in her will, and Mrs. j
Craven said she si!<_'Rested to the Senator
that he ought to even matters up by giv
ing Charley a little more. The Senator
did so, she told me, by giving Charley an
extra half-million.
'I wanted to know where that will
was,'' continued Mr. Lloyd, "and she said
that after the 'trust' will hud been stolen
out of the County Clerk's office she went
to her trunk and examined the document
the Senator executed ii* her bouse. That
was the first time she discovered that her
will was of a later date than the one whic i
was stolen.- She was afraid then that this
one might be stolen, too, and for that
reason sent it out of the State. She said
the Senator wanted to provide for her, in
the will, but she asked him .not to,
as it might connect her ' wrong
fully with him. She told me, that
the Senator then said he would
provide for her in another way, by giving
her the Sansome and Pine streets prop
erty. She believed the deeds to this
property would be found either in Senator
Fail's strong box or in Attorney Good
fellow's possession."
Mr. L'oyd went on to say he finally in
duced Mrs. Craven to go final and get the
will. She would accept no expense money
from him. The witness said Mrs. Craven
did not tell him she had any needs prior
to her trip to the East. All sbe said was
that she believed Fair had left deeds or
papers for her whicb wpuld be found in
deceased's safe. Mr. Lloyd denied that
he told Mrs, Craven to go East under an
assumed name and also that he had com
municated with her during her absence.
He was still testifying when an adjourn
ment was taken.

TROUBLE OVER PISH.
Game Lavri Said to Be Violated With
Impunity.
There is a great deal of trouble in fish
circles over the apparently inexplicable
conduct of some of the authorities who
have heretofore borne a high reputation
in fish town. Fish and game warden
duties seem to be us. less and fish laws
seem to have fallen into innocuous desue
tude, for wliich reason Fish Warden
Mo-ian feels that he has no excuse for
being on earth.
All of this trouble has been caused by
the failure of the courts to prosecute cer
tain Chinese for violating the fish aud
game laws of the State. -..
The story is somewhat as follows: Last
March was a busy month with' Fish
Warden Mogan. He arrested Wong Sang
Fook and Lee Sing for catching fi-h ille
gally off Hunters Point. The fishes were
held in evidence with the Merchants' Cold
Storage Company at Clay *nd ' Davis
streets. On March 13 Police Judge Con
lan held the defendants in the sum of
$5000 each. On July 22 the cases came be
fore Judge Dunne in tne Superior Court,
and on motion of one of the assistant dis
trict attorneys the cases were all dis
missed. * The reason ;given was that there
was no evidence on hand with which to
convict the criminals.
> It appeared that Chief Deputy Babcock
of the Fish Commission wrote the man
agers of the .Merchants' Cold Storag.
Company on June 24 that they might
destroy the fishes which they had bo long
hold in evidence.
The evidence was thus destroyed at the
request of the deputy ; but Warden Mogan
has had all kinds of misgivings since, and
he is wondering what right the deputy
nad to annul the acts of the Judges and
oi the Warden by destroying the evidence
on which their" ca.e* were based. The
question is one that has caused a great
deal of discussion in political circles, and
the masses are wondering whether the
Fish Warden has any rights which the
Fish Commissioners are bound to respect.

Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pinkham. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She
will tell you, free of charge, the cause of your trouble and what course to take.
Believe me, under right conditions, you have a fair chance to become the joy-
ful mother of children. The woman whose letter is here published certainly
thinks so: .*)
"I am more than proud of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
cannot find words to express the good it has done me. I was troubled very
badly with the leucorrhoea and severe womb pains. From the time I was
married, in 1882, until last year, I was under the doctor's care. We had no
children. I have had nearly every doctor in Jersey City, and have been to Belvin
Hospital, but all to no avail. I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement in the
paper, and have used five bottles of her medicine. it has done more for me
than all the doctors I ever had. It has stopped my pains and has brought me
a fine little girl. I have been well ever since my baby was born. I heartily
recommend -Mrs. Pinkham's medicine to all women suffering from sterility."—
