David J. Kelly, the man who made
the accusation, was called to the stand
and testified in part as follows:
When I got to the corner of Rondel place
and Sixteenth street Mr. Gunther came from
the opposite side of the street— we call It
"street"; It is called Rondel place — Gunther
came from the opposite side of the small
etreet and sayc: "Hello, Kelly," took my
hand and shook- It, and by that time I think
I had sot about eight or nine feet from the
eornor of Sixteenth street on my way home.
We fctood by the house — the sidewalk Is very
narrow and we stcod by the house and he saya:
"Look here, Kelly, you are In that Chinese
»-as.e. ain't you?" "Some China case," I «ays.
lie says: "Iv-ok here: I am interested in that
ran" and I want you to help mo out. I am
getting a fee." he cays, "and I am willing to
divide the fee with you." I was almost dum
fourded and looked down at- the sidewalk and
didn't say a word. "Well." he says, "what
is the use of - them Chinamen? You cannot
believe, either one of them," he nays. "They
will He and they will franible anywhere, no
matter what you do." He nays: "You can
not believe tl.«m: why can't you make a. little
Jurt as well as I," he nays. "It will be all
rljrht. and nobody will be any the wiser of It.
Y^u know me." he sayi, "and I know you;
why can you not help a fellow out?" He says:
••IJ*re, I will tell you -what I will do; I will
give you a hundred dollars If you hang that
I don't know what my rights are at this in
vestigntlon. I can only say I am not repre
sented by counsel at all. I am dumfounded at
anything of this kind, and I think— I don't
know whether I have any right to be repre
uenteri In- this particular examination by coun
sel — if I am I would like to have some counsel
here.
At that juncture of the testimony
the court asked Gunther if he wished
to ask any questions. Gunther re
plied: »
Edward W. Gunther, law and col
lection agent, is under arrest on a
charge of attempted bribery of a juror
in the case of Nguen Lun, a Chinaman
who is on trial for his life for the
murder of Tom YIck, a member of the
Chinese Educational Society. The
murder was committed May 8, 1903,
in Ross alley and Nguen Lun waa
picked out by the police as the in
dividual who fired the fatal shot. The
case has been on trial for three weeks
in Judge Lawlor's court, and it was
expected that it would terminate yes
terday. It did, but not in the manner
contemplated.
When the case was called yesterday
morning Attorney Hiram Johnson,
who has been conducting the defense,
asked the court to discharge the jury
on account of certain information
which had come to his knowledge.
Judge Lawlor, who had been told of
the facts, asked for information as to
why such a request should be granted.
In compliance with that desire De
tective Thomas L. Ryan was called to
the stand and told the story of how
Juror David J. Kelly of 18 Rondel
place had called him up on the 'phone
Tuesday night and later came to his
house and stated that E. W. Gunther
had placed $150 in his coat pocket,
with the remark that Kelly should
hang the jury. Ryan testified that he
at once reported the matter to Captain
Martin and then made an arrange
ment with Kelly to meet him at the
tiall of Justice in the morning and tell
his story to the court and the District
Attorney. During the conversation
that night Kelly wanted Ryan to take
tHe money which he said Gunther had
slipped into his pocket, but Ryan re
fused to accept it, claiming that the
coin should be turned over to the
court in the morning.
While Kelly was telling Ryan of the
attempted bribery he stated that he
had kept Gunther engaged in con
versation in hopes that some one
would come along who would be able
to substantiate the fact that he and
Gunther had been in conversation at
the time he stated. Such a person did
appear on the scene. John Mermer, a
neighbor of Kelly's, saw them together
and Kelly cited that fact to Detective
Ryan.
GUNTHER IS DUMFOUNDED.
Another point the police consider as
against Gunther is that his books show
that he has been acting as a collecting
agent. for a number of Chinese and in
consequence thereof he would be close
enough with them to warrant trusting
him with such a delicate mission.
Kelly said yesterday when he be
came aware of the scheme he decided
to delay the conversation on the street
corner as much as possible in the hope
of some friend or neighbor passing by
who might later testify to having seen
Gunther talking to him.
John Mermer, a neighbor of Kelly's,
passed the two men at about 6 o'clock,
but says that he is not sure whether
he could identify Gunther. Kelly called
at Mermer's house early yesterday
morning, but as the latter was not at
home he left word that he would like
to see Mermer on important business.
Mermer said last night: "I am not
sure whether I could identify the man
as I do not even know whether he wore
a mustache or a beard."
Later in " the evening Mermer called
at police headquarters and identified
Gunther as the man he saw in conver
sation with Kelly.
Prior to being taken to the city
prison Gunther, was allowed to visit his
office to arrange his affairs pending the
securing of bail. "When searched 'at
the prison a card bearing the name of
Wong Fong was found in his pocket,
and as the writing waa of recent date
the police are of the opinion that they
have the name of the man who fur
nished the coin and arranged for the
services of Gunther. Wong Fong, who
resides at 33 Waverly place, or at least
gives his address there, is the same in
dividual who was accused of attempt
ing to bribe the jury in the Quohg
Quock Wah trial for murder. In that
case Wong Fong claimed that he had
fixed the jury, but later it was found
that the verdict desired would not be
rendered, and as a result the money
had been returned to him. When
questioned by the officers of the See
Yup society as to what had become of
the coin he admitted having spent it
for his own use.
The- remaining eleven Jurors wers
then interrogated by the court as to
whether any person had approached
them in regard to the case outside of
the courtroom and all having answered
in the negative, they were discharged
from further consideration of the case.
After the jury had been discharged,
the court said:
With respect to the subject matter of this
investigation the authorities of the city and
county will take such steps as will be appro
priate In order to have this matter probed
to the bottom. This court Is eitremely solic
itous that no effort shall be spared to get at
the truth of this accusation, and If any per
son lias attempted In any manner to interfere
with the due administration of Justice it
will be the duty of all concerned to see that
the law Is vindicated. And If such practices
have been Indulged In this community they
Bhould be made to crease. This can be ac
complished by allowing the heavy hand ot the
law to fall upon such malefactors. Let E. W.
Gunther be taken Into custody.
JURY IS DISCHARGED.
Mr. Johnson — I want to say that my services
are at the disposition of this court or the
District Attorney In this matter or anything
connected with It.
The Court — The court waa about to make
the statement that It shares the confidence In
Mr. Johnson"* conduct throughout that has
been expressed by the prosecution. The court
has a high estimate of Mr. Johneon as a prac
titioner at the bar and. having such estimate
ar.d a favorable opinion of his character and
of his professional ethics, desired to have him
present et all times- when this matter was
under Investigation.
I know nothing nr-~ it him otherwise.
Mr. Ferral — 'We are very certain he waa not
connected with the People.
Mr. . Barrett— Mr. Johnson has been co-op
erating with us to ferret out this matter and
has led in the suggestion to have the Jury
dismissed.
A number of questions were asked
Gunther relative to his conversation
with Kelly and as to what "he was do
ing in that neighborhood at that time
in the evening. In reply to the last
query he said he had been collecting,
but when asked if he could give the
names of any of the people whom he
had visited, replied: "I guess I could
if. I wanted to. I don't know as I
want to go into the matter. I am not
Mr. Gunther — I think maybe as quick — until
I have collected my thoughts and know just
what to say so as to express them that I
possibly had better leave the matter remain
In the position It Is. The only thing I can
say Is that what Mr. Kelly says Is not so.
The Court— If you desire to make a state
ment you will be afforded the. amplest oppor
tunity to do so.
At the conclusion of Kelly's testi
mony the gold coin which he said Gun-^
ther had given him for the purpose of
hanging the jury was taken by the
court, marked and will be used as evi
dence when the case comes to trial.
Gunther was again asked if he de
sired to interrogate the witness, but
said:
I don't know a« I flo. I am not enough
advised. I find myeelf here before the court
and everybody h"e In a very serious plight.
I appreciate that. I have been In the law
business long enough to know that. The whole
matter has taken me by surprise and I am
not in a condition — I am not in a condition
of feeline In- view of such a charge as this
to make any utterance except — I don't know
just what to cay. I know Mr. Kelly, as he
said.
Being unable to get Judge Lawlor
over the phone or at his house without
giving the man, apparently on guard,
the tip that he was about to notify the
court of the offer that had been made
to him, Kelly went to the City Hall
police station and telephoned to Ryan,
and later- saw him at home as has
been stated.
¦Whep. I saw that. I said: ' ¦Jerusalem! are
th»y Fpottlnjj me or something?" So when I
paw the man standing on the sidewalk I
walked rapidly past and paid no attention to It.
This man. whoever It way, followed me for
two or three blocks — I don't know where — he
followed me to the corner — that street that the
cars run down that pass the City Hall.
Jury." I said: "Gunther, they would put m«
In San Quentin for life If I did anything like
that." He says: "Who Is going to know It
but yen and IV I am just as bad as you are:
I am the fellow giving 1 the money." I looked
dov.n and didn't say anything. He says:
••Here: I wiil tell you what I will do; I will
make It n iiur.drtd and fifty dollars," and with
-.ha'. h<» 'Jroppcl the money In my pocket and
¦walkf-U oft. and when he got about ten feet he
turiipd around ami fays: "Now, you stay all
right," 01 words to that effect — "you Ftay with
it." He walked oft and that was the last tl
saw of him.
KELLY SEES MAN ON GUARD.
Kelly recited his troubles with the
telephone and his inability to get any
satisfaction from the line and how he
had gone down the street to Judge
Lawlor's house with the intention ' of
telling: the Judge what had occurred
when he found a stranger standing in
front of the dwelling. Kelly said:

COMPLIMENT MR. JOHNSON.
Attorney Hiram Johnson, who has
conducted the defense of Nguen Lun,
out of which case the charge of brib
ery has grown, , desired to be sworn,
but that request was not complied
with. Mr. Barrett said:
Before Mr. Jolinson Is sworn I want to say
on behalf of everybody connected with the
.prosecution, the District Attorney's office. Mr.
Carpenter knd myself, that .there Is not a
shadow of suspicion of any kind attaches to
Sir Johnson. We have been familiar with his
whole conduot In this case and there is not
& shadow of suspicion of any kind against
him. We know him to be beyond. all that kind
of thing and know that when Chines© do these
things they go behind their counsel.
Mr. Johnson — Well, I think that Is very
kind Mr. Barrett.
Mr. Ferral — I can Indorse ererythlng- Mr.
Barrett has said. •
Mr Johnson — The only thing I wanted to
say was that I have listened to what baa
been said about this man being connected with'
the case, and I want to say that In no way,

with this ca?e. I never saw him before I saw
him Just now and I do. not know him.

Special Dispatch to The Call
SALT LAKE, May 25. — Twice with
in the shadow of the gallows, then a
prospector and now a mining mag
nate, "Diamondfleld Jack" Davis now
has taken unto himself a bride. Ac
cording to advices received from Ton
opah, Mrs. Minnie Williams of that
city has become his wife.
"Diamondfleld Jack" ' Davis was
tried for and convicted of the murder
of a sheep herder in the Snake River
region of Idaho in the later '90's.
The tragedy was the outcome of a
bitter quarrel between the sheepmen
and cattlemen. Evidence pointed
strongly to "Diamondfield Jack" and
information was immediately filed
against him. In the trial that fol
lowed the State was backed up by the
big sheep owners of Idaho, Nevada
and Utah, F. J. Hagengarth being
among those who assisted financially
in the prosecution. T,be Sparks-Har
rell Cattle Company, of which John
Sparks, now Governor of Nevada, was
senior partner, spent thousands of
dollars toward the defense. Davis
was in their employ at the time of the
murder.
The cattlemen lined up solid be
hind the accused man. The legal bat
tle that preceded "Diamondfield
Jack's" conviction was one of great
bitterness. Judge O. W. Powers was
foremost in the counsel assisting the
State. The jury found the accused
man guilty as charged and he was
sentenced to be hanged.
An appeal was taken. Davis was
again sentenced to death. Then came
intercessions in his behalf. Finally
Davis was pardoned by Governor
Hunt. After he had been freed "Dia
mondfield Jack" prospected in difffer
ent parts of Nevada and finally, at
tracted by the Tonopah stories, locat
ed a claim in that vicinity. Thence he
went to Goldfleld. . A property in
which he was heavily interested af
terward turned out to be rich. It was
the first great mine of Goldfleld and
the discovery was one of the causes of
the rush to that camp. Now "Dia
mondfleld Jack" once a cowboy, next
a doomed convict, then a poor pros
pector, is a mining magnate and a
happy husband.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
SAN JOSE, May 25.— The high wind
that prevailed yesterday- and to-day
has caused heavy ¦ loss to the fruit
growers of Santa Clara Valley. The
wind yesterday blew from the south
and reached a velocity or twenty-one
miles an hour. Cherries and prunes
suffered the most, but ally kinds of
fruits were damaged. In some places
fruit trees were blown down. It is es
timated that more than one-half of
the ripening cherry crop Is destroyed,
and that from 20,000.000 to 30,000,000
pounds of prunes have been blown to
the ground. 1
The first car of cherries for the East
left San Jose yesterday and it was
expected to ship from five 10 ten more
this week, but the storm of yesterday
caused such loss that not more than
two cars will go forward now. Much
of the loss of the cherry crop will fall
upon the packers, as most of the grow
ers sell their crops on the trees. In
the Willow district the loss to the
cherry crop is the largest and in sev
eral orchards the ground is covered
with red and black frujt. In one or
chard it is estimated that five tons of
cherries are on the ground. The Black
Tartarians suffered the neaviest, as
they are just in the ripening stage.
Considerable of the cherries left on the
trees are so bruised as to render them
unfit for shipment.
The prune crop also suffered severely.
It is safe to say that 20 per cent of
the fruit is destroyed. B. "Betts, a
Campbell grower, picked up seven
pounds of prunes from under one tree
in his orchard and his estimate is that
20 per cent of his crop is destroyed. All
throughout the valley there was great
damage done to the prunes and the loss
in the entire valley may exceed 20 per
cent.
Peaches and apricots damaged
to some extent.
. In one orchard near Campbell twen
ty-eight fruit trees were blown down
and scores of y-ees are down in other
orchards along the roads.
Many growers believe the destruction
of the prune crop may work to- an ad
vantage to the orchardists. It will give
a chance to work off the hold-over
crop and raise the price of this sea
son's dried fruit.
BAKERSFIELD, May 25.— Several
heavy showers have fallen here since
6 o'clock this evening. The wind is
blowing heavily from the northwest.
If. the rain continues the fruit crop
will be damaged and the farmers will
suffer, as nearly all the hay is down.
The rain is a great relief after the ex
tremely hot days this week. The dust
has been laid and the air purified.
