DEFENDANT'S OPINION OF HIMSELF, Ha Thought His Place Was in the Gov. rnor's Chair and' Anticipated No iff i-s eulty in Taking It. The defense in the MscDonald case baa begun to push forward testimony bearing on "Dick's" sanity. The opinions of the witnesses yesterday ranged from "touohed" to Insane. His laughter was described as "fiendish," and 'iust joyous." For the first time in his life "Dick" listened with pained surprise while his old employees called him a ninny, fool, and blockhead of a financier.

They were a unit on the opinloa that "Dick" didn't know anything about banking. Incidentally in the fluctuating testimony that old story came out about Attorney General Hart being warned by the Bank Commissioners of the tottering condition of the bank and his flat refusal to take action. The lawyers argued for an hour over the proposition of croing into the details of soma of the transactions that led up to "Dick's" asking bis friends for the 400,000 In checks. Judge Murphy ruled that nothing in those transactions could Justify the de fendant making a false statmsnt to the Bank Commissioners. The law expeoted him to tell the in his report.

The Court reserved its ruling till the evidence offered should call for it. Attorney Livernash shifted about several of the points of defense. He opened wit witnesses on toe signing 01 mo bank state ment and closed with witnesses on the Question of Dick's sanitv. Louts Vesaria, who worked in the Paciflo Bank for twentr years, stated that he had never known Notary Tnarp to administer an oath to any of the bank people.

Mr. Lamson is well known on tha Paciflo Coast. He is an old resident of Oakland. To divert losses and misfortunes he at rib las his Inability to meet his obligations. Miss Lillian Lamsja, who made her theatrical debut in Oikland several years go, is his daughter.

Mr. Lamson, who is a member of the First Methodist Church at Fourteenth and Clay streets, opposed his daughter's ambitions to go on the stftge, butber mother favored the young woman's aspirations, and this led to si family separation. Their home on Twentieth street and Telegraph avenue was broken up and Mrs. Lamson went traveling with her daughter with a theatrical company. According to the story told in Mr.

Lamson's schedule of liabilities Mrs. Lamson and her daughter stopped at various hotels throughout tha State and charged tbe bill to him without bis consent. Mr. Lamson also enumerates a number of debts for medical treatment contracted without his consent. Tha Hotel Devonshire, San Francisco, tha Hotel Crellin, Oakland, the Hotel Brewster, San Jliogo, and other places are named where Mrs.

Lamson contracted debts without ber busbauti'a knowledge. C. M. Freeman of Stockton has a board bill of $52 against Mr. Litm-toa on account of bis wife.

Kussoll, Dr. O. Burgess, Dr. Powers and Dr. Hopkins of San Francisco have claims against Mr.

Lamson for services rendered his wife. Mr. Lamson might bava been able to bear up under this expense, but on January Id, 1894, he Incurred a debt to Asa Flsii and Insolvency on Mr. Lamson's part Is the result. Being pushed for ready money he went to Mr.

Fisk at that data to borrow (300. Fisk said be would loan that amount on good first security. Mr. Lamson gave him a mortgage on tbon unencumbered real estate In the Brumagin tract, west of Shattuck avenue, Berkeley. Then Mr.

Fisk domanded 3 per cent interest per month, compounded monthly in advance. This, Mr. Lamson says, is one of the misfortunes that drove him into bankruptcy. The Oakland' Bank of Savings has a claim of $81)3 01, secured by a mortgage on two lots in mo tract, amce sold to Joseph Nolan, subject to tha mortgage. A note for $1(0 due H.

Wiodell is secured by the assignment of a policy for $3,000 in tha New England Life insurance Company, Tbe San Francisoo Call has a claim of $670. Tbe total liabilities amount to $3. 46a 11. The only available asset is tba Berkeley realty, appraised at $500. mortgaged to Asa Fisk for $300, with accruing interest at 3 per cent compounded monthly In advance.

All this stent to show that the McDonalds did not sign the statement in the presence of Notary Tharp.

That is what the defendant claims. Tharp admits that he used the ink ia his own office. The defendant says be used the bank's ink. William H. Eastland, who tried to sell the $400,000 worth of bonds In the plained tnat the more be got acquainted with McDonald tne more he noticed them "Specify," insisted the Court.

"In bandllog the working force of tba bank," was the reply. "Ho would dis charge men for no apparent cause." Witness finally admitted that he did not know whether McDonald had reasonabla oause or not for discharging them. If you thought the manager of a bank was Insane wouldn't yeu Inform the Direo tors of the bank!" askei tha Court! "The Directora ought to look after their own business." answered the witness. "Did you regard him as an intelligent Danger He had no experlenoa to start with and made many failures. I thought' be was mentally unbalanced." 1 AS EXPERT I.ArOHS J.

B. Warren was asked what ba bad no ticed about McDonald's eyes. I noticed that he bad a wild look at times," he replied. "Sometimes in talking business he would suddenly break out with a siuv What about bis laughter" "It was peculiar, forced and mirthless." What is your opinion of McDonald's mental condition about January: 1898!" "If I may use the expression, I think ba was ilka a ship witn too mucn deck load, I think ba was mentally unbalanced." "Did you report this condition to tha bank managers!" "No." 1 "Why?" Because they would probably have demanded proof, and I could not prove anything. Besides, I was earning my living J.

Carter testified that be thought McDonald was a poor man to be In his position in the bank. He was not a competent man for the place. Was he foolish!" asked Livernash. Well, I oan give Instances; Sometimes we'd spend time in examining merchants' books with a view to making a loan. He'd suddenly eall us Oft aud refuse the loan.

Maybe he'd then let sora rogue have tha money without security. If anything, ba was a Uttla mora foolish after bis divorce trouble." Was ha sane or WANTED TO SEE HIS SAMB PRINT. I think he was a "You think ha was not a good financial man!" put in tba "Yes." But outside of that as. to bis 'ideas of right and wrong!" persisted tha Court. tnmk ne was a wean and foolish man.

I bad some experience with hurt. I helped on tha Calif omian Magazine Ha put money Into it simply to be written up and get his name and pictures before tha public. One day 1 went to see him to get it out of-a business tangia. Ha insisted on speaking to me about his aspirations to be Governor and about his elooutlon lessons. He seemed to think ha would have -no opposition for tba omce and would get it by aoolamatloa." Dr.

O'Donnell is a perennial candidate for office. Do you consider him insane!" asked Barnes. "In a way." replied the witness: "and that reminds me that O'Donnell and Mc donald were mixed up together on trying to elect a Board of School Direotors. O'Donnell assured MoDonald of his support of the men the latter was running for ofhee." Louis Vesariosaid he bad made up his mind from tha start that the defendant was weak-minded. He thought ba was a batter financier than any one in tba bank." continued the Ha was very susceptible to flattery.

He would pay hundreds oi dollars to sea himself written up In the papers. I've beard bis laugh described as idiotic." Did he ever try to carry out bis extra ordinary banking Ideas! I've known him to oall in good loans and give tba money to irresponsible parties." jnaries h. uurnam said that be always thought that tbera was something wrong with McDonald about tha full of tne moon. A long legal document waa offered to prove that an uncle of "Dick's" was insane in Adams eounty, Illinois. The case will go on next Mondsv morning.

The committee of the Faculty of tha University of Cali fornia, appointed some time ago to consider tbe proper attitude of the Academic Council toward student athletics, baa snbmltted Its report, which was unanimously adopted.

and in view of the recent aotion of various Eastern institutions of learning in the mat ter of athletics, the step taken bv the Fac ulty of the University of California toward aecuring pure amateurism in college athletics and remo vie all taint of professionalism is significant. The report provided as follows: First That there shall ba a standing committee of the council, appointed by the President from year to year, which shall have general supervision of student athletics. SecondThree weeks before any proposed intercollegiate contest, the captain of the team which is to take part therein shall furnish to the Committee on Student Ath letics a list of the students from whom the team is to be selected.

No student whose name is not found on the list as thus revised shall be permitted to take part la such contest.

Third No leave of absenoa shall be granted to any team for tha purpose of any athletic contest for a longer period than twenty-four hours, and such leave shall be granted only oy the President of the University, or by tha Committee on Siutlcnt Athletics.
