DE FERRER'S DENIALThe Alleged Bigamist Tells

of His Marriage toMiss Patton.

NOT A REAL WEDDING.

He Had Informed the YoungWoman That He Already

Had a Wife.

PATHETIC SCENE IN COUET.

The Prosecuting Witness Faints AfterDenouncing the Statement of

the Accused.

SAN JOSE, Cal., Nov. 16.—Judge Lori-gan's court was well filled this nomine atthe opening hour by the curious, whogathered to Irear the story of A. M.Lbrenzo de Ferrer, the alleged bigamist,in his own behalf. The first Mrs. deFerrer, with her baby in her arms, andMiss Patton, the second wife, who is

Patton's house inSanta Cruz, and said itwas simply a little social affair. He didnot attempt to explain why he was re-ceived as the husband of the daughter.

De Ferrer denied that the contract wasever looked upon as a marriage by himselfor by Miss Patton though he intended tomarry when he got a divorce. It was topacify all parties and prevent a scandalthat he signed the paper. He said that herefused to take her into society or re-cognize her as his wifeuntil he could geta divorce. He said he would not have thedocument recorded because it was not alegal document.

Incross-examination De Ferrer was con-siderably confused at times and did notmake the best impression. A card of invi-tation to the alleged wedding dinner wasshown him. This purported to have beenwritten by him. He said he could not saywhether it was or not. He had attendedthe meal to stop scandalous tongues.

Miss Baez and Miss Richards of Oak-land, two of the witnesses for whom benchwarrants were issued, were called beforeJudge lxmgan. Their defense wa9 thatthey had no money, but this didnot satisfythe Judge and he made an order thatneither be allowed fees or mileage.

Mrs. Romo, another witness who hadfailed to come, was lined $10. Her hus-band had written a letter in her name say-ing she could not come without money topay her way,and that he would not fur-nish it. She confessed that she had prop-erty of her own and paid her fine.

Attorney Black, inhis closing argumenton behalf of the defendant, held that DeFerrer and Miss Patton had not in anylegal, legitimate way assumed the obliga-tions and duties of the marriage relation.He laid great stress upon the allegationthat the prosecuting witness did not object

prosecuting De Ferrer, sat side by side,and frequently held whispered consulta-tions. The defendant sat b eside his coun-selundisturbed, and from time to time, asthe testimony pleased him, a sardonic grinspread over his face and he turned aroundand gazed at the spectators.

The first witness this morning was Mrs.M.Romo, a sister of the defendant, whotestified that Miss Patton had been intro-

duced to her as Miss Patton. She had mether both at Oakland and San Francisco.Her testimony as to the defendant having Iintroduced the young woman as Miss Pat-ton to various persons was stricken ont onthe ground that itwas hearsay evidence.

Mrs. Romo said that she came to SanJose to see her brother after his arrest andthen went to Santa Cruz to Bee Miss Pat-ton. She there attempted to stop MissPatton from prosecuting the case, tellingher that she was equall}' guilty with thedefendant of bigamy, and that she wouldbe prosecuted. She thought itbest, for thegood of both, that there should be noprosecution.

Miss Pietra Richards and Miss LuluBaez testified that De Ferrer had intro-duced Miss Patton to them under thename of Miss Patton. She made no ob-jection to whatever they said. They couldnot fix the date of this introduction. MissCarmen Alfonso was called to fixthe date.She thought itwas October 27, 1894, butshe was not positive. She knew, however,that it was the latter part of the month.

A. M.Lorenzo de Ferrer then took theBtand in his own behalf. He said he firstmet Miss Patton in Santa Cruz in Novem-ber, 1893, where he was on business.

He was acting as agent for a building andloan association and had some businesswith Mrs. Patton. She came to his hotelto see him and brought her daughter withher and introduced them. He had takenthe young lady driving with him to holdthe lines while he was around town visit-ingmen on business, she remaining in thebuggy. He denied that there was anytender feelings expressed then. He sawher in Santa Cruz several times afterward,but denied that they had any correspond-ence during the winter following.

The next time De Feirer met Miss Pat-ton was inSan Jose in August, 1894. Heconceded that during her stay here at dif-ferent times he visited her and took herriding on different occasions. He said thatonce he drove to the Willows withher andsbe told him that she would make anyEacrifice for the man she loved. Mattersreached such a stage that he was forced tosay to her that she must be careful and"not tempt him." :It was aWit this time, De Ferrer said,

be told Miss Patton he was a married man."Itwas not," cried Miss Patton, who

sank in her chair in a faint. The youngwoman's mother at once went to her as-sistance and the scene wag pathetic. JudgeLorigan ordered the bailiffto restore order,and Mrs. Patton was led from the room,loudly remonstrating and saying: "Idon't want him to killher." Quiet wastinaliy restored, and Judge Lorigan aaidthe ladies must control themselves or hewould have the courtroom cleared.

De Ferrer then said that he afterwardtold Miss Patton he was a married manand had a wife and child livingin Oak-land. He said Miss Patton knew thisbefore the marriage contract was evermentioned. He conceded that he told herthat they would get married when he got

divorce.De Ferrer said he had signed the mar-

riage contract on December 14 in order topacify the girl. He said that after thathey had occupied the same room at the

hotel. Miss patton went to Santa Cruz byhis met ructions. He said she first refusedto do bo, bat when be had called her atten-tion to her saying that she would make anysacrifice for the man she loved sbe went.He left San Jose, but later came back toSan Jose. The lady came back to theRuss House and called for him, and whenhe arrived he was told she was there. Heintroduced her to Mr. Crofit about the 24thof October as Miss Patton. He denied thathe attended a "marriage dinner" in Mrs.

to being introduced as Miss Patton. Asthe so-called second marriage had neitherbeen solemnized nor recorded, he deemedit a farce. No second marriage had beenproved and his client was therefore en-titled to an acquittal.

District Attorney Herrington made theclosing argument for the prosecution. Instrong terms he denounced the course pur-sued by De Ferrer, and liKened his charac-teristics to those of the infamous Durrant.He summed up the euiderice, and heldthat the evidence against De Ferrer was aclear one. It was not necessary that acontract should be in writing,and the de-fendant was guilty of bieamy when hemade the agreement with Miss Patton onOctober 23, 1394.

The admissions of the defense tended toshow the prisoner's guilt, and he askedthat De Ferrer be taken from society, towhich he was a disgrace, and be confinedin prison as the penalty of the cruel wrongdone to a poor, defenseless girl.

An adjournment was taken at the closeof the District Attorney's argument. Thecase will be called at 9 o'clock Mondaymorning, at which hour Judge Loriganwillcharge the jury.

Money Drawn for One Woman a TearAfter Her Death.

FRESNO, Cal., Nov. 16.—The GrandJury, which has been in session for twoweeks past, made a partial report to JudgeRisley to-day.

The report covers only one subject ofthe jury's extended investigations, andthis was inregard to the indigent list sup-ported by the county. The jury finds thatthe Board of Supervisors has made cashdonations to indigent persons during thefirsi ten months of the present year to theamount of $1107 per month.

The jury reports that it is of the opinionthat this expenditure is excessive and canstand considerable pruning, and that morecare should be taken in the distribution ofthis money.Itis also evident that abuses exist by

reason of not revising the list at frequentintervals. For instance, the jury haslearned that one Maria Moreno drew fora long time the sum of $10 permonth from the County Treasury,up to and including the month of April,1895, while, as a matter of fact, MariaMoreno had been dead for one year priorto that date, and still the warrant wasregularly drawn and the money was col-lected by some person up to the datenamed.

WOMEN WEEP IN SYMPATHY.

The Trial of the Man Charged WithSheriff Bogard's Murder Draw-

ing to a Close.

MARYSVILLE, Cal., Nov. 16.—Thiswas a day of weeping at the Brady trial.The defendant shed tears, the ladies of theBogard party attending the trial wept,andthe female portion of the great crowd thatfilled the courtroom did its share in thedisplay of emotion. Itwas all broughtabout by the appeal to sympathy on thepart of W. H. Carlin, the attorney for thedefense, and by eulocistic references to themurdered Sheriff by District AttorneyMcDaniel. Court adjourned at noon to-day, after the District Attorney had talkedabout thirty minutes.

Mr. Carlin resumeQ the closing argu-ment for the defense at 9:30 o'clock thismorning. He dissected portions of theevidence for the prosecution and denouncedthe testimony of Bowers, Silver, Ahemand Sheriff Johnson. In closing he re-ferred to the fact that Brady had assertedthat he had not yet given his right name,and that he never would give it. Mr. Car-lin held that up as manly and apostro-phized his client with:

"Jack, stick to it. Itis a manly action.Do not bring down the gray hairs of yourmother in sorrow to the grave by lettingher have any inkling of the chain of cir-cumstances that led up to your arrest forthis crime that they have not provenagainst you."It was during this buret of eloquence

that Brady's lip began to quiver, his faceto redden and tears trickle down hischeek. Carlin closed with an appeal forhis client's life.Itwas 11:30 o'clock when District Attor-

ney McDaniel took his place in front ofthe jury. He referred in opening his argu-ment to the appeals for sympathy on thepart of the attorney who preceded him.He said that if Brady had a mother— amother who had striven to make a goodman of her boy—no one was responsiblefor his present position but himself. Atthis point the defendant broke down againand several handkerchiefs were usedamong the spectators.

Mr.McDaniel had finished only the in-troduction to his argument and had notbegun on the testimony when the hour foradjournment arrived. He will finish bynoon on Monday, and the case willgo to

the juryimmediately.

NEWS OF LOS ANGELESOil Exchange Directors Seeking

a Suitable ShippingPort.

The King of the Tahitis to Dwell inthe City of Angels— Vagaries

of a Crank.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 16.—Mem-bers of tlie Oil Exchange are still workinghard to further water transportation toSan Francisco. A committee, consistingof Messrs. Flint. Botsford and three oth-ers, went to San Pedro to look for a suit-able place for the erection of storage tanks.They found that these tanks could be

erected in a very advantageous position fortransferring the oil to the vessel, but dis-covered that the water was not quite deepenough for the vessel they intended put-ting into service.

Another committee yesterday examinedthe facilities which Port Los Angeles hasto offer for oil shipments. At that placethe depth of the water was sufficient, butthe facilities for loading the vessel was notgood. The storage tanks would nave tobe connected with the vessel by over 3000feet of pipe, and as it would be necessaryto load the oilby gravity alone this propo-sition was out of the question. Of the twoplaces San Pedro seems to be the mostsuitable to ship from.

The exchange will erect a series ofwooden storage tanks, each of about 2500barrels capacity, instead of one large irontank. Itis understood that the vesselwhich the exchange willuse in its serviceis the ship Enoch Talbot, which is now un-loading lumber at Port Los Angeles. Thisship willhave a carrying capacity of10,000barrels.

SOUTH BEND, Wash., Nov. 16.—Stan-ley Egbert and G. A. Riddell, who lefthere Wednesday afternoon in a fishing-boat to cross Willapa Bay to North River,have been given up as lost. The boat wasseen yesterday from a distance, and thismornine D. Riddell and A. M.

They brought the news to South Bendand parties went out insearch of the lostmen and the boat. A visit was paid toStanley Egbert's cabin, but there was noevidence that he had been there since leav-ingSouth Bend. There was a heavy stormon the bay Wednesday and they had beenwarned against starting out, but Riddellwas one of the most experienced yachtsmenon the bay and ho was confident there wasno danger.

RATES ARE GOING DOWNWar Between the Oregon and the

Southern Pacific On inEarnest.

Sweeping Reductions Made by BothCompanies, With More in

Prospect.

PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 10.—The OregonRailway and Navigation Company to-dayannounced a steamer rate to San Franciscoof $10 first class and $5 steerage. TheSouthern Pacific people no sooner heardthis than their agents were instructed toannounce similar sweeping reductions.The Southern Pacific put into effect a rateof $15 first class to San Francisco, includ-ing a berth, and $7 50 second class.

General Passenger Agent Hurlburt ofOregon says that lower rates are to be putinto effect at once. Besides cutting theregular rate from Portland to Shu Fran-cisco, the Oregon Railway and NavigationCompany has, it is sa.id, prepared itself forthe war by making an arrangement withthe Pacific Coast Hteamship Companywhereby tnrougu tickets will be sold toSan Diego, Los Angeles and SouthernCalifornia points at greatly reduced rates.The steamnr rates are considerably lessthan the railroad rates, but when to thisdifference is added the difference betweenrates from San Francisco to Portland, thereduction is sweeping. The steamshipcompany to-day placed on sale tickets forLos Angeles first class, including berthand the usual accommodations. $22 50.This is a saving of $12 50 over the presentrailroad rate, without sleeper accommo-dations.

The result of this clash willundoubtedlybe a general demoralization in rates be-tween the sound and the Bay City. ThePacific Coast Steamship Company willhave a job on its hands to maintain a fairshare of the passenger traffic with thePortland companies at loggerheads. Thesound company will undoubtedly makeradical reductions immediately. TheSouthern Pacific people are determined tofight it out, and it is altogether veryprobable that rates will be a great deallower before the end of the war.

IN MARIPOSA COUNTY.

Seven Hundred Claims Locatedin Good Ore Within the Past

Two Years.

DEMAND FOB BETTER ROADS.

The Yosemite Free Wagon Way StillHoped For by Ranchers and

Miners.

[Special Correspondence of The Call.]

COULTERVILLE, Cal., Nov.14.—8incethe quartz rain^s of this county began at-tracting attention there have been locatedabout 700 claims. This covers a period oftwo years. Of this number 450 have beenlocated within the past year and 250 withinsix months. Most of them are quartzveins, though a few are placer mines.

Taken in connection with the unprece-dented investment of capital, the system-atic prospecting and the solid improve-ments in the principal towns, it is ri

evidence that the prosperity of MariposaCounty is ofapermanen tcharacter.The peo-ple here do not approve the term "boom, 1

'considering itsuggestive of inflated values,a speedy shrinkage and inevitable col-lapse, followed by an epidemic of financialembarrassment and bankruptcy; they pre-fer the common-sense word "proeress."

The old town of Coulterville is in the lineof march. Buildings of a substantial char-acter are being erected. Bruschi, an old-time merchant, has just completed a newbrick tire-proof buiiding for a store. Thenew town, about a mile below, known asCornishtown at present, consists of a halfdozen or more cottages, occupied by em-ployes of the Merced Gold Mining Com-pany. Other dwellings will be erected,and eventually a boarding-housa for em-ployes.

The company is grading for the newmill, which will have a capacity of 240stamps. The entire structure will be ofiron, and when completed will be one ofthe most complete and expensive buildingsof the kind on the continent.

Work is progressing in the group ofmines embraced in the Seth Cock prop-erty under the systematic management ofthe new company. On the Louisa theyare sinking a shaft which will strike thevein at a depth of 900 feet.

At the depth of 300 feet they ran acrosscut through the vein, which provedto be 131 fer-t in thickness, said to be ofgood millingore. This was stated on theauthority of an expert. But men who de-pend upon practical experience think thisthickness should more properly be termedvein matter. Notwithstanding this dis-tinction, itis a fact that on both of theseparallel veins, and on each and every oneof the claims, the linear extent of which iswithin a fraction of live miles, gold hasbeen found in paying quantities. Hencethe possibilities in the line of developmentare incalculable.

Speaking of the coming electric plant, agentleman who has some experience inthis business, and whose opportunities forobservation are excellent, says GOOO-horse-power could be advantageously used, ap-propriated and paid for immediately.

Next in interest to the group of minesowned and operated by the Merced GoldMining Company is the Pinon Blanco.Commencing at the northwest boundaryline of the Seth Cook property it runsnorthwesterly to the Tuolumne Countyline. The parallel veins, heretofore men-tioned, converge before striking the PinonBlanco and form one solid lode. Themine takes itsname from the white-crestedpeak which is a landmark well known tothe pioneer miners, prospectors and stock-men long before quartz mining wasdreamed of. The rougn and ruggedmountain is one of a series of immensecroppings which mark the general direc-tion of the mother lode through the foot-hillcounties.

The property is now owned by CaptainA.H. Ward, who has other valuable inter-ests in the county. The original claim ex-tended 55",0 feet. To this has been addedby purchase 2050 feet, making altogether7900 linear feet. Several tunnels have beenrun for the purpose of testing the thick-ness of the vein. At the depth of L0 feetthe vein showed a width of 26 feet. At200feet below the surface it was 50 feet inwidth, and at 300 feet ithad increased toover 100 feet.

A few months ago the owner startedwork at a lower point, and is now runninga tunnel south along the footwall. Itisalready in a distance of 460 feet, and willbe continued 300 feet further to a point

abreast of the north slope of the PinonBlanco summit. Here crosscutting willcommence, and this willtell the story.

Coulterville willsoon have a direct wagonroad connecting with Mariposa, a distancesomething less than that old horsebacktrail, which is about twenty-five miles.Work on the bridge near the old Bentonmillsite has been commenced and it willsoon be completed.

Away up on the main fork of the MercedRiver, above its junction with the southfork, are the Cranberry and Rutherfordmines. The former is a patented mine3000 feot in extent The Rutherford ex-tends 1500 feet on the line of the vein.These veins average four feet in thicknessand willpay from ft50 to $5 per ton. Theoriginal owners of the Rutherford workedwith the old-fashioned Mexican arastras

when the selected ore paid as high as $34per ton. Both these properties are ownedby Captain A. H. Ward, who has expendeda large amount of money in the develop-ment of the Cranberry with no return incoin. There are about 700 tons of ore onthe dumps at this mine, whichitis safe tosay willpay $8 per ton.

This property is located close to the sur-veyed route of the Yosemite free wagon-road, which was not built. Had this roadbeen constructed there would now be a40-stamp mill in operation and a thrivinglittlemining camp at this point.

The latest phase inYosemite road-build-ing was on exhibition a few days ago onthe line of survey of the projected rail-road. The surveyors were camping on aranch owned and held under a UnitedStates patent by a citizen of this county.This property is within the limits of theYosemite National Park. Captain Rogers,who is incommand of the troop of cavalry—

whose performance of duty in a generalway is said by the owners of cattle and

sheep to keep their predatory bands fromeating up the mountains and forestswithin the park boundary— made a de-scent upon the surveying party and or-dered them to leave. So they moved out«side and below the western line of thepark, and when last heard from had theirbase of ODerations near Jenkins Hill.

There is a gentle murmur of indigna-tion at the action of the soldiers. Theowners of property hope it willhave the-effect of spurring up the Pacific Coastdelegation to action on behalf of theminers and settlers along the western lineof the Yosemite Part, which extendswithinless than fivemiles of the countyseat, and embraces within its scopemountain ranches which have been oc-cupied and cultivated for more than fortyyears, and many valuable mines held byUnited States patent.

The people here have no interest in thewar inaugurated for ;he control ofYosemite Valley,but are interested inachange of that western boundary line ofthe park.

There is said to be a scheme on foot forthe purchase by the Federal Governmentof all the tollroads leading into YosemiteValley.

When itis taken into consideration thatthese roads reach an altitude of 7000 feet,that they are impassable during the win-ter months and are rarely open for travelbefore April 1, and then only by an outlayfrequently reaching $4000 to $5000, it maybe considered a bad investment fbr theGovernment, though a sound financialproposition for the owners now paying toll,

The present boundaries of the YosemitePark include a long stretch of tollroad,and the road is for sale with the UnitedStates Government as a prospective pur-chaser. One of the purposes of. the Yo-semite free wagon-road was to secure aroute which could be traveled during thewinter months. The extreme altitude onthis proposed route before reaching thefloor of the valley is 3360 feet.

LAND SELECTIONS VOIDSecretary Smith's Decision Relat-

ing to Certain NorthernPacific Patents.

There Is a Question as to Whether theCompany Has a Grant Within

Wisconsin.

"WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 16.—Secre-tary Smith has decided a case of consid-erable moment known as the Eastern ter-

minal case. On March 17, 1894, there wastransmitted to him for approval a clearlist of 320 acres of land, selected as in-demnity for lands lost within its grantedlimits by the Northern Pacific RailroadCompany. The basis of the lands was inthe Ashland (Wis.) land district. Thequestion, the Secretary says, is whether ornot the Northern Pacific Railroad Com-pany has a land grant within the State ofWisconsin, and if so, does the grant ex-tend east of the city of Superior. Ifithas no grant east of that point, the basisfor this selection is not within the grantedlimits, and consequently the selectionmust fail.

The Secretary, in deciding the mattersays that he cannot approve the list, as itis based on a claim for lands Jost east ofSuperior City, Wis., where, according tohis views, the Northern Pacific Companyhad no grant, and he rejects the list.

The Secretary directs the Commissionerof the General Land Office to suspend ac-tion for the present upon all cases involv-ing the question of the company's right toa grant between Thompsons Junction amiSuperior Ctty. Thompsons Junction willbe treated as the terminal until it is de-termined whether the same extends to Su-perior City.

He directs that the company be allowedsixty days for notice of this decision witn-in which to specify a new basis for any ofits indemnity selections voided by the de-cision, and that during that period nocontests against such selections where thecharge that the basis was made of landseast of Superior City, or application toenter under settlement laws, will be re-ceived.
