TT Leave ARCADE DEPOT. Arrive 8:00 am Sunday 5:00 pm Sunday 7:45 pm 32:40 pm Monduy 11:56 am 12:40 Wednesday 11:56 a 12:40 Friday .........11:58 am 5:00 pm Saturday 11:56 am T. Wesley Van Scelver to appear for trial. That tarty failed to respond to the call, in fact. T.

Wesley Van lean attorney of consid erable reputation which is somewhat quectionanle as to business methods, left several weeks in company with "Jimmie" Damron, ostensibly for a trip to Eastern States. A Columbus (O.) paper shortly afterward heralded their appearance 'there, describing the two attorneys as prominent and well-known, and attaching lengthy and high-sounding military titles to their euphonious names. The paper also went on to state that Damron was on his way to South America, and it was left to be presumed that Mr. Van Scelver was also heading toward the same place with blissful seclusion in prospect. 1 There was quite a little crowd in the courtroom yesterday morning, all anxiously waiting to find out what Van Scelver did with that $2185 which he is accused of appropriating to bis own use when the money did not belong to him, having merely been left in bis trust by Mrs.

M. L. Anderson, but the Only satisfaction the spectators had was to bear the order of the Court that the $1 BOO bond given as surety for the defendant's appearance be declared forfeited. When a complaint was first filed against the attorney he was brought before Justice Bartholomew tor examination and held to answer In the sum named, Addle B. Van Scelver going his security on the bond.

MIXED TITLE BIGHTS. In the action to quiet title to lots 13, 14, 21 and 29 of Hazard's subdivision of lot 16, Griffin's addition to East Los Angeles, brought by A. Beecher against M. P. Gravel, Judge Wade yesterday rendered a brief opinion in which be recites that the plaintiff claims under a so-called deed of trust from the ad mitted original source of title, in which he appears both as trustee and beneficiary.

As the former he sells, and as the latter, purchases at a sale made upon default of the trustors. The impression of the Court was that it was a mortgage with power of sale. Such was authorized by the codes. The mortgage in the exercise of this power might both sell and purchase, and pass the legal power to himself. Such sale could only be attacked by a direct proceeding within a reasonable time' by the mortgagors.

Judgment was ordered for the plaintiff. Court Notes. The motion to dismiss proceedings in the case of J. Schurz vs. His Creditors was yesterday denied by Judge Wade, for the reason that the files and papers in the case did not support the grounds of dismissal alleged in the notice and for the further reason that the affidavit did not show that the moving party was a creditor.

Flannlgan and J. W. Bennett of Marshfield, brought suit some time against the California National Bank of San Diego to recover $0000 on a draft drawn by one Balnes. A demurrer was filed td the complaint by the receiver of the Insolvent bank, and upon the grounds that the promise of the cashier of a national bank is not mnaing upon the bank, Judge Ross yesterday in the Circuit Court sustaiued the objections.

Injured His Feelings. London, June 19. A young girl em ployed as a servant in a boarding-house in txmaon nas sworn out a summons against John Deasy, a member of the House of Commons, a boarder in the bonse in which the girl was employed, xor common assaaiu Lizzie Borden Not Disturbed in Mind As She Walts for the Conclusion of the Celebrated Case. Today Hay See Her a Free Woman, So She Hopes. Argument of Her Counsel Unable to Commit Crime Coder Booh Conditions The Bamming Up of tho Case.

By Telegraph to-The Time. NEW BEDFORD June 19. (By the Associated Press.) The day of argument In the Lizzie Borden trial opened with a great crowd at the Courthouse, scarcely one-tenth of whom could gain admission. A large proportion of those In attendance were In fashionable holiday attire. The defendant appeared fresh and Gov.

Robinson opened the proceedings with an argument for the defense. He began by declaring the defendant physically unable to commit the crime in the manner it was (committed; that aside from that It was only possible for a maniac devil to do It. He asked the Jury to bring their homes, hearts and intellects into the decision of the case. Gov. Robinson then rehearsed chronologically the events connected with the crime.

He saw no reason to connect the confederates of the defendant with it. There was no direct evidence against Miss Borden, he said, no weapon whatever, and no 'knowledge of the use of one had been shown. The evidence shows that the defendant did not know where' the alleged weapon was kept. There was no spot on her from head to feet, with the exception of one as big as a pin head on the skirt. Lizzie Borden was- at home on the morning the murder was committed, and if she had g)ne up stairs and looked under the bed she might have seen the body of her stepmother.

Both Lizzie and Bridget tell about the note which called Mrs. Borden out, and both were told of it by Mrs. Borden. Lizzie said she had been the barn twenty min utes. An Ice cream peddler who knew Bridget went by, and saw a woman, but Bridget, to the house irom tne Darn.

A five-minute recess was here taken, and the address was discussed freely by the spectators, much disappointment being expressed about it. "Bridget," said the Governor, after recess, "when she heard that Borden was dead, said she would go to Mrs. Whitehead's and tell Mrs. Borden, if she were there." That corroborates the theory that Bridget Sullivan, who, for two years had been closer to the family than any one else, never heard of the quarrel be tween Lizzie and Borden. The speaker then related the fact of the al leged blood-stained dress, and the burn ing or it.

If Lizzie Borden killed, her stepmother at 9:48 o'clock, did she come down and greet her father in a bloodstained dress? She must have changed her clothing, and changed it again after the second slaughter. Lizzie did not try to get Bridget out of the( house. Don you think," he said, "she would have sent her on some errand?" The attorney then pointed out that the doctors disagreed as to what had been used to kill the Bordens, and touched upon the claw-headed, hatchet and the hatchet without a handle. If these were not the implements with which the murder was committed, where are they? The exclusive opportunity theory was simply an anticipation which was not realized. Anybody could have gotten into the house by simply avoiding Bridget on the outside and Lizzie on the inside.

The lawyer held that the young man seen In the vicinity was an outside spy for the person committing the deed. That Job was not done by one person. recess was taiten, ana tne ex-Governor resumed when the court reassembled. there had been any blood on the defendant's hair," he said, "those bathing her face would have discovered It." It was 3 clock when the ex-Governor closed, and District Attorney Knowlton began, to sum up for the prosecution. Knowlton said "However, we may differ we can agree 'that this is a most heartrending case.

The woman whom we are trying Is a Christian, it is hard to consider a woman guilty of touch -a crime, but the greatest criminals of the world have been women, and we must face this case as men. No -who has told of it saw Lizzie Borden burn that dress. While Mr, Borden was down at the bank that morning, the assassin met. Mrs. Borden and killed her.

It was against her hate was- directed. There was one woman in the world who believed the old woman stood between her father and herself. There was nothing In those blows but hr.tred, a great, strong man with one blow only would have made an end of It." The speaker reviewed the movements of the family on the morning of the tragedy, and said that, up to the time the murder was committed, there was no opportunity for an assassin to come in. When that 200-pound woman fell it must have been hard by whoever was in the house. If Lizzie down stairs, she was in the passageway of the murderer; if she was upstairs, she could not have helped hearing.

She was alone In the house with the murdered woman, and knew that by and by there was coming into the house a stern. Just man who would have noticed the absence of his beloved wife. He came In, and she said to him: "Mother received a note and has gone out." But there no note; there never was any. The story originated Jw'lth Lizzie Borden. Bridget Sullivan Bald that the first she heard of it was what Lizzie said.

The court adjourned with Knowl-ton's argument not finished. FELIX FOUND. He Has Completely Lost His Memory, However. NEW BEDFORD, June 19. (By the Associated Press.) Felix Borden has been located here.

Young Borden says he knows Lizzie and her father only by sight and reputation, and if he told Mrs. Ramsey in Baltimore that Lizzie committed the murder, his opinion was formed on newspaper reports and not from any knowledge of Lizzie's char acter. He could not remember, either, Just where he was at the time of the murderw. because he was then in the circus business, and it kept him trav elling most of the time, but he had an idea be was in providence.

Attorney Van Scelver Does Not Appear When Wanted. Another Cass Involving the Defunct San Diego Bank. The Stockholders are Not Liable for the Baaoallty of the Former Officers in the Matter of Overdrafts Court Notes. Findings for plaintiff were yesterday ordered by Judge Ross of the United States Circuit Court in the case of Jesse W. Lllienthal vs.

the Southern California Railway Company, in accordance with an opinion filed. The subject of controversy was a certain twenty-acre tract of land selected, or attempted to be selected, by the defendant railway company, and being that upon which the town of Barstow Is built. One Bugbee, the predecessor in interest of the plaintiff, settled upon a fractional part of the section, which contained 51.55 acres, and embracing the twenty- acre tract in controversy, in July, 1885, and on the 20th day of September of that year, filed in the local land office at Los Angeles, his declaratory statement therefor, and paid the required fee for filing. He afterward made final proof and payment, and received a certificate of purchase therefor. This was followed by a patent being issued to Bugbee from the Government on March 6, 1890, and the plaintiff derived title from him through various conveyances.

Prior to Bugbee's settlement on the land, the Soutnern California Railway Company filed with the Register of the Land Office a map of the station grounds at Waterman, upon which was indorsed a certificate of the president and affidavit of the chief engineer of the com pany. Subsequently, and on the auth day of September, 1885, a map showing a portion of the located line of the Southern California Railway Company at Waterman Junction was filed in the office of the Register and Receiver at Los Ange les, which map received the approval of the Department of the Interior December 81, 1885, and on the same day the acting Secretary of the Interior approved the map mentioned. The Court decided that by the terms of the grant no right of ground for station purposes attaches until the right-of-way is secured by a compliance on the part of the railway company with the provisions of a certain act. So far as the evidence in the case showed the only map filed by the Southern Califor nia Kauway oompany witn tne Register of the Land Office when the land in question was located, pretending to give a profile of the road, was filed Septem ber 30, 1885. But before it met with the approval of the Interior Depart ment, and prior to the time it was filed with the Register of theslocal land of fice, Bugbee settled upon the fractional part of section 1 including the twentv acres in dispute, and filed his declaratory statement The trouble with the railroad company was that it did not pursue the law, the provisions of which were very plain.

The- first thine It did, so far as the evidence showed, was to file with the Register of the Land Office a map of the station grounds desired, before it had secured the right-of-way for its road under the act, by filing and obtaining the ap proval of the Secretary of the Interior of the profile of the line. Manifestly, before any right could arise out of such a grant, the right-of-way should he secured, which could only be done by a compliance with the provisions of the law conferring It. As the right-of-way had not been thus secured by the Southern California Railway Company at the time it filed the map for station rounds desired with the Register of the and Office, such filing initiated no right to that Judgment would go, therefore, for the plaintiff. TBI ATTACHMENT GOOD. A motion to dissolve an attachment, on the ground that the action did not come within the purview of a certain section of the codes, in the suit brought by Candelario Ybarro and Charles J.

Shebherd vs. Steven Sylvany, was denied yesterday by Judge Van Dyke, for the reason that the action was upon a contract for the direct payment of money. The complaint in the case al leged that the plaintiffs, since May 1878, had been the owners of lot 1, of the Ybarra tract, on Downey avenue in this city, and, during all that time, had been and are entitled to the rents ana profits of the said lot; that the defendant had received the rents and profits, amounting to 117,800, and appropri ated the same for nis own use witnontf accounting to tne piaintim tnereror, and that he had steadily refused to make such an accounting. Upon the filing of the necessary affi davit and undertaking, an attachment was issued, whereupon the motion quoted was made, the defendant hold ing that the attachment was not founded upon a contract, expressed or implied, for the direct payment of money. The Court held to the con trary, and in a brief opinion expressed his reasons therefor, and made the order of denial referred to.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. Among the Circuit Court opinions by Judge Ross yesterday was one in the the case of Ell H. Murray, receiver of the California Savings Bank vs. Frederick N. Pauly, receiver of the Callfor nla National Bank of San Diego.

The plaintiff in this action sought to re cover upon a certificate of deposit drawn in favor of the bank, of which the plaintiff was the receiver, for $40,000 in May of 1891, and before the California National Bank went into insolvency. The certificate was of the nature of an overdraft. Judge Ross, in giving his opinion, stated that the certificate of deposit so issued was without consideration and void. It was enough for the stockholders and cred itors of the insolvent bank to suffer for the rascality of President Collins, and they were not legally or justly respon sible for the act of the savings bank, committed through fraud orincompe- tencv of its own officers. The case showed that at the1 time of the over draft by Dare and Collins on the sav lngs bank, Collins was behind in his accounts with the national bank and that the money paid by the savings bank upon knowing this went to make eood that account But the stock holders and creditors of the California National Bank could not be held liable for the misplaced confidence of the savings bank on the reliability and respon slbility of Dare and Collins.

If the bank saw fit to aUow the overdraft. It should suffer the consequences, and it was ordered that the defendant be awarded judgment. AN SCE1V1S DECSMFED. Judge Smith waited and waited, but all in vain yesterday morning for. the Depositors Bound to the Chicago Jfixposmon.
