THE EXAMINER, SAN FRANCISCO: SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 9, 1895. Dick" McDonald's Attorney Brings Forward Testimony to Prove Insanity. DEFENDANT'S OPINION OF HIMSELF. He Thought His Place Was in the Gov. ernor's Chair and Anticipated No Difficulty in Taking It.

EVIDENCE ON LAUGHS, The defense in the MacDonald CASO has begun to push forward testimony bearing on "Dick's" sanity. The opinions of the witnesses yesterday ranged from to insane. laughter was described as "mirthless" and "just 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 unit on the opinion 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 going into the details of some of the transactions that led up to Dick's" asking his friends for the 6400,000 in checks. Judge Murphy ruled nothing in those transactions could justify the defendant making a false statement to the Bank Commissioners. The law expected him to tell the truth 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 the signing of the bank statement and closed with witnesses on the question of Dick's" sanity. Louis Vesaria, who worked in the Pacific Bauk for twenty years, stated that he had never known Notary Tharp to administer an oath to any of the bank people. Like all the other bank employees, he had not seen McDonald and Waterhouse conversing about the $100,000 checks, December 31, 1892. He not know anything about the relations of the four checkmakers.

DENIED DORN'S FEE. On cross- -examination, he denied that, as paying teller, had paid $12,000 to D. S. Dorn as a fee after the last day of 1892. C.

H. Dunsmuir, Secretary of the Board of Bank Commissioners, was asked if he knew the condition of the Pacifio Bank in 1892. "Yes," he replied. 24th Commissioners Gerberding and Knight made examination of its affairs. We were much alarmed at its condition.

We reported to the Attorney-General that it was shaking. Our office records will show that." Were the bank officials not asked: to raise cash by selling securities? Was the commission actually misled by the semi-annual statement fled by the bank?" District-Attorney Barnes objected to the question, but it was allowed. Before Dunsmuir could answer Livernash withdrew the question. A murmur ran around the courtroom. Livernash thought his action was misunderstood, so renewed the question.

It's a hard question to answer," began Dunsmuir slowly. For two years the bank was in such a condition that we knew there could be but one result suspension. Consequently we looked upon its nual statement with suspicion. I was not deceived regarding the condition of the bank. I knew that it held so-called securities that were valueless, and that it must ultimately suspend." Then why did you not take charge of the bank and investigate its affairs?" put in Judge Murphy.

did," replied the witness. "We reported its condition to Hart, but he differed with the commission. Our duties ended there. He absolutely refused to take any action upon our recommendation." A DIFFERENCE OF INKS. J.

K. Carter and Emil Bellerman, old office-hands of the bank, testified that the ink used in the signatures of the McDonalds to the statement was different from the ink used in Notary Tharp's signature. All this nent to show that the MoDonalds did not sign the statement in the presence of Notary Tharp. That is what the defendant claims. Tharp admits that he used the ink in his OWn office.

The defendant says he used the bank's ink. William H. Eastland, who tried to sell the $400,000 worth of bonds in the East for the bank, started to tell about the negotiations, the Court ruled out his story. Then came the long-expected first witness on the point of Diok's" sanity, Miss Marie Bredell, 8 smiling, red-cheeked young lady in black, who said she WAS 8 music teacher. Miss Bredell admitted to a visiting acquaintance with insane asylums.

Whenever I called on Mr. McDonald," she said, "he acted very nervous, his eyes dilated, and I felt confident his mind was unbalanced. Emil Bellerman was next asked to adVance his opinions on "Dick's sanity. For a number of years I had the opinion that his mind was not well balanced," he answered. "He had some very he fixed ideas.

For instance, he thought was the greatest man in the State. He said so a number of times." he was a great politician!" suggested Judge Murphy. No, he said considering his ability that he ought to be in the Governor's chair in Sacramento." What was his manner!" Jumping in his remarks. He took lessons in elocution to make addresses." Did deliver them to you?" he recited pieces of poetry during banking hours." A VERY RELIGIOUS MAN. Did be ever say anything on religion Not particularly.

He is a very religious man." Did he ever express a wish to be a Jewish. rabbi or 8 Catholio priest?" Did he ever discuss the founding of great schools or other philanthropical enterprises?" No." "How did ho handle the bank's business!" "Shrewdly. Sometimes he would stop talking business and talk in a silly fashion." Did he ever tell you why he married Clara Belle McDonald?" No." Bellerman was asked his opinion of the mental condition of Frank V. McDonald. Barnes objected, and the Court ruled out the question.

Livernash explained that he wanted to show hereditary insanity. So the Court withdrew its ruling. I thought Frank McDonald was unbalanced, too. He was financially insane, if I may so express it. He came there a new man to the business and overrode the old men.

He declared we were keeping nothAng but a pawnbroking shop. Then be bought up all the ditches and electric roads in the south; that crippled the bank." "For how long a period did you notice those peculiarities All the time." you ever hear the defendant talk about Seneca Swalm?" have a faint rememberance that he spoke of a pardou." Did you ever hear him say that he didn't want Swalm pardoned till he as Governor could pardon No." What do you know about the stereopticon he bought?" He sent it around, and the janitor of the bank gave shows at different places with it. At the end of the exhibition the defendant's picture would appear." "Did you ever notice any other peculiarity about him?" One thing was that if a man ever tried to advise him he would at once put him down as an enemy." THE OLD SCHOOL SCANDAL. did he ever do to reach the Governor's chair?" "He tried to get control of school board. That was to be a he said." Did he ever say anything about giving the school children free rides on the bay and delivering addresses at the schools?" No.

Did you ever hear his laugh?" "Yes; it's sort of overdone, if I may say Summing up, then, what would you say as to his sanity or'insanity about December, 1892." his mind was District unbalanced." cross -examination Attorney Barnes took up McDonald's laugh. Was it fiendish?" he asked. The witness fumbled with the question. He avoided it by getting into a discussion with the Court on cranks, crazy people, etc. "Did you know that Johns was connected with McDonald's aspiration to control the School Board?" continued Barnes.

"No." "Did ever see the documents in the bank vaults by which certain candidates agreed to turn over the patronage of their office to A. F. Johns in case of their election "No; but I've heard of them." The Court wanted to know more about McDonald's peculiarities." Bellerman explained the more he got acquainted with McDonald the more he noticed them. "Specify," insisted the Court. In handling the working force of the bank." was the reply.

"He would discharge men for no apparent Witness finally admitted that he did not know whether McDonald had reasonable cause or not for discharging them. If you thought the manager of a bank was insane wouldn't you inform the Directors of the bank?" asked the Court! "The Directors ought to look after their own business," answered the witness. you regard him as an intelligent He had no experience to start with and made many failures. I thought he was mentally unbalanced." AN EXPERT ON LAUGHS. J.

B. Warren was asked what he had noticed about McDonald's eyes. "I noticed that he had a wild look at times," he replied. in talking business he would suddenly break out with a silly remark." What about his laughter?" "It was peculiar, forced and mirthless." What is your opinion of McDonald's mental condition about January, 1893?" If I may use the expression, I think he was like a ship with too much deck load. I think he was mentally unbalanced." Did you report this condition to the bank managers?" No." Why?" Because they would probably have demanded proof, and I could not prove anything.

Besides, I was esrning my living there." J. K. Carter testified that he though; 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 Well, I can give instances.

Sometimes we'd spend time in examining merchants' books with a view to' making a He'd suddenly call us off and refuse the loan. he'd then let some rogue have the money, without security. If anything, he was a little more foolish after his divorce trouble." Was he sane or insane?" WANTED TO SEE HIS NAME -PRINT. "I think he was a "You think he was not a good faanolal man?" put in the Court. Yes." But outside of that, as to his ideas of right and wrong?" persisted the Court.

think he was a weak and foolish man. I bad some experience with him. I helped on the Californian Magazine. He put money into it simply to be written up and get his name and pictures before, the public. One day 1 went to see him to get it out of a business tangle.

He insisted on speaking to me about his aspirations to be Governor and about his elocution lessons. He seemed to think he would have no opposition for the office and would get it by 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 Medonald were mixed up tozether on trying to elect a Board of School Directors.

O'Donnell assured McDonald of his support of the men the latter was running for Louis Vesario said he had made up his mind from the start that the defondant was weak-minded. Ho thought he was 8 better financier than any one in the continued the witness. He was very susceptible to flattery. He would pay hundreds of dollars to see himself written up in the papers. I've heard his laugh described as idiotic." 66 Did be ever try to carry out his extraordinary banking ideas? "I've known him to call in good loans and give the money to irresponsible parties." Charles H.

Durham said that he always thought that there was something wrong with McDonald about the full of the moon. A. long legal document was offered to prove that an uncle of Dick's." was insane in Adams county, Illinois. The case will go on next Monday morning.

THE DRAMA AND ASA FISK.

Compound Interest and a Daughter's Infatuation for the Stage Cause Lamson's Insolvency. MR. FISK GETS THE ONLY ASSET. The Misfortunes That Have Befallen George F. Lamson, Auctioneer, Have Driven Him to Bankruptcy.

OAKLAND OFFICE OF THE EXAMINER, 918 Broadway, OAKLAND, February 8. George F. Lamson, auctioneer at 410 Kearny street, San Francisco, filed a petition in insolvency to-day. Mr. Lamson is well known on the Pacific Coast.

He is an old resident of Oakland. To divers losses and misfortunes he at ributes his inability to meet his obligations. Miss Lillian Lamson, who made her theatrical debut in Oakland several years ago, 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 20 on the stage, but her mother favored the young woman's aspirations, and this led to a family separaLion.

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 the State and charged the bill to him without his consent.

Mr. Lamson also, enumerates a number of debts for medical treatment contracted without his consent. The Hotel Devonshire, San Francisco, the Hotel Creltin, Oakland, the Hotel Brewster, San Diego, and other places are named where Mrs. Lamson contracted debit. without Freeman her of husband's Stockton has a knowledge.

board bill of $52 against Mr. Lamson on account of his wife. The petitioner states that Mrs. Lamson bought quantities of patent medicines without his consent. Mrs.

Mary Washington and others, who loaned money to Mrs. Lamson, have claims against the auctioneer. There is an unknown amount due to Lindley Bros. and sister, San Francisco, on account of Mrs. Lamson.

Dr. A. J. Russell, Dr. 0.

0. Burgess, Dr. Powers and Dr. Hopkins of San Francisco have olaims against Mr. Lamson for services rendered his wife.

Mr. Lamson might have been able to bear up under this expense, but on January 16, 1894, he incurred a debt. to Asa Fisk and insolvency on Mr. Lamson's part is the result. Being pushed for ready money he went to Mr.

Fisk at that date to borrow 8300. Mr. Fisk said be would loan that amount on good first mortgage security. Mr. Lamson gave him a mortgage on then unencumbered real estate in the Brumagin tract, west of Shattuck avenue, Berkeley.

Then Mr. Fisk demanded 3 per cent interest per month, compounded monthly in advance. This, Mr. Lamson says, is one of the misfortunes that drove him into bankruptey. The Oakland Bank of Savings has a claim of 8892 01, secured by a mortgage on two lots in the Perrin tract, since sold to Joseph Nolan, subject to the mortgage.

note for $400 due H. Windell is secured by the assigument of a policy for $2,000 in the New England Life insurance Company. The San Francisco Call has a claim of $670. The total liabilities amount to 83,462 11. The only available asset is the Berkeley realty, appraised at $500, mortgaged to Asa Fisk for $300, with accruing interest at 3 per cent compounded monthly in advance.

The other assots, consisting of office furniture at 410 Kearny street, and 8 bed, mirror, washstand and bureau in the petitioner's sleeping.room in Oakland are exempt. A WOMAN AS A SHERIFF. Mrs. W. F.

Aram's Work in Transferring Insane Female Patients. A Woman Who Was Taken to Stockton Yesterday Thought That She Had Been Bewitched by an Alameda Girl. OAKLAND OFFICE OF THE EXAMINER, 918 BROADWAY, OAKLAND, February 8. Mrs. W.

F. Aram, the Special Deputy Sheriff for the care of insane women, returned to-day from Stockton, where she had placed Mrs. Belle Dudley of Alameda in the asylum. She states that she has found no difficulty in her work and that MRS. W.

F. ARASES, THE WOMAN DEPUTY SHERIFF. From a the patients she has thus for had to escort from Oakland have not been unpleasant companions. Sho says that the patients require constant attention, and that they have to be guarded with extreme watchfulness, but she finds it easy enough to get along with them. The hallucination of Mrs.

Dudley, an unfortunate young woman who had resided with Mrs. H. Saunders at the Alameda Hotel, 1715 Park street, was, as shown at the examination before the Commissioners, that sbe had been, bewitched by Katie Kavanaugh, an Alameda She seemed to have no desire 10 injure any body else, but she repeatedly threatened to shoot Miss Kavanaugh at the first opportunity. Mrs. Saunders told the Commissioners that Miss Kavanaugh had taken a book from Mrs.

Dudley, and that the animosity seemed to have boen inspired by that. The patient has refused to ent or drink at times, supposing that somebody was trying to poison her. Last year Mrs. Dudley sold a house on Park street, near Buena Vista avenue, Alameda, for $1,500, but it is not known how much of that property she still retains. Yesterday she had $19 30 in coin, and sho stated she had two gold watches, which a friend at 917 Pine street, West Oaklard, is keeping for her.

Mrs. Aram has already taken two other women to the asylum, and there is a prospect that she will be kept busy looking after the pationts, as the entire. county is her territory. WE GUARANTEE every bottle of Parks' Cougb Syrup. It gives satisfaction.

J. H. Widber. HE FOUGHT WITH A BURGLAR, 918 Broadway, OAKLAND, February 8. F.

O. Haussler of 162 Eighth street fought a duel with a burglar at 3 o'clock this morning. Neither he nor the marauder were injured, though several shots were exchanged. Mr. Haussler, who is a photographer, spent most of the night in watching a sick felend, During his absence Mrs.

Haussler heard somebody in the back yard. She called a lady who was visiting at her house, and the two went to a rear window, from which they saw a man in Mr. Haussler's toolhouse, which was only ten or fifteen feet from where they stood. The man seemed to be selecting tools to carry away, An Oakland Man's Narrow Escape From Bullets Fired by a Marauder Found in a Toolhouse. FIVE SHOTS QUICKLY EXCHANGED.

HAUSSLER, TRE MAN WHO FOUGHT DUEL WITH AN OAKLAND BURGLAR. from a and to frighten him the ladies went to the front door and shouted "Police!" No patrolman responded, and a special watchman, who is paid to guard the block, did not hear the calls. The alarm had the effect of scaring the burgiar away, however, and soon afterward Mr. Haussler reached home. At 3 o'clock the thief was heard again.

Haussior raised the window, and with a revolver in his hand he ordered the burglar out of the toolhouse, but the noise ceased and there was no response. If you don't come out here I'll shoot you." shouted Haussler. That seemed to alarm the thief and he replied that he would come out if Haussler would not shoot. Haussler answered that he would not harm the burglar if the command was obered. All I want," said the owner of the place, "is to have you get out and those tools alone." The man then went out through the door ani Haussler said: Come over bere near the window where I can see you." A shot from a revolver that the burglar carried was the response to this, with the order: "Put your head into that window." The bullet struck the window-casing and missed Haussler's head by only five or six inches.

Haussler Immediately opened fire and shots after the assailant, who fired once in return as he fled. Haussier was not injured, but he thinks that one shot struck the thief. Mr. Haussler bought a Winchester rifle to and will watch for the visitor. Several other thefts have been committed in the vicinity.

The aristocratio section about Madison avenue is alarmed over last night's occurrence. Haussler says the thief he shot at was tall and slim. SWALLOWED LAUDANUM. Daniel Woolley Attempts Suicide in a Fit of Anger. BERKELEY, February Woolley, a one-legged young man twenty years of age, swallowed a quantity of laudanum in Smith's drug store in Lorin last night, with the intention of committing suicide, simply because his mother bad opened one of his letters.

For the past five or six months he has been out of employment, and this made him morose and melancholy. For some unknown reason he cautioned his mother some time ago not to open any of his letters, and notified the Postmaster not to give any of his letters to any one except himself, but his mother WAS given a letter addressed to nim yesterday, and when he found that she had opened it he left the house in a fit of anger, went direct to K. B. Smith's drug store in Lorin asked for a dime's worth of laudanum for medicinal purposes. The clerk of the store, J.

B. Sbultz, took Woolley's name and address, 88 required by law, and filled a threedrachm bottle with the drug. Before he could put a cork in the bottle young Woolley snatched it from the clerk's hands, swallowed the contents and rushed out of the store. The people in the drug store rushed after him and captured him, but while the clerk was preparing an emetic Woolley broke away and ran home. The druggist followed him to his home and forced Woolley to swallow the medicine and now the young man is entirely out of danger.
