He was picked up on North Twenty-fourth street Friday night In an almost frozen condition and taken to a Chi nese laundry near by , with the request that his countrymen provide lodging for him. The officer had barely gone nrolmd the corner when Joe was pitched bodily Into the street by the Celestials and upon Inquiry It was elicited from them that "He was velly bad Chinaman , " anil that ths best thing he could do for society was to freeze to deatfi as soon ao possible. When Joe was searched at the station a complete outfit that usually gees with a tramp , including the Inevitable tomato can used as a growler , was found. Joe stated that ho had worked all the larger towns of this state for a living and that he would now try Iowa If the Judge would permit blm to do so. Ho was allowed to depart. roil o\u WHEIC.

When this allegation was made the attor ney for the bank denied It , charging that the sickness wag pretended. Ho could not prove It , however , and It was further shown that he had made no attempt to ob tain a deposition from Johnson.

Intc < t I'linfte of I'lrnl Nndniiitl' * Con text M-llli Mm. Uooilntntii An answer has been filed by the First Na tional bank In the suit Instituted against It some months ago by Emma Goodman , wife of the late- Charles Goodman , and the Administrator of the estate. The amount In volved In the origins ! suit Is something over $33,000 , the total of three llfo Insurance policies on the life of Goodman , the proceed : ) of which polices Mrs. Goodman nllcged bo - longcd to her , although they were In the possession of the bank , It Is charged In both the petition nnd the answer In the suit that the policies wcro given to the bank by Goodman , nmong other securities , to protect an Indebtedness of $45- 000 ; that Mrs. Goodman was present when the policies were turned over and know that they wcro given to secure the notes nnd other Indebtedness which the bank held against Goodman , Mrs. Goodman , however , alleged that she understood that the policies wcro t > bo held as security for sixty or ninety days , or until other arrangements for the Dscurlng of the debts were made , and that she never assigned them fcrcver to the bank , Th ? bank makes n complete denial of the allegations. It alleges that Mrs. Goodman made an assignment of the policies to the bank through the Insurance companies and knew that they were to bo hld as security for the debts until they were settled. A further dental Is made of the claim that Good man ever represented to his wife that the amount ct the' ' policies would be paid to her nt his death , even If they wcro held by the bank , or that t-he - relied on any such alleged representations. The bank avers that It has collected the proceeds of the policies nnd has used them In paying up n portion of Goodman's Indebted- new. It represents that this has been known to Mrs. Goodman , an It signified Its Intention of so doing when Its claim cf $25,000 nnd over against the estate In the probate- court was allowed. It Is alleged that Mrs. Good man was present at the time and made no objections. In Its answer the bank goes further than the petition of Mrs. Goodman Intended and makes a demand that a receiver be ap pointed for the Goodman Drug company. Among the other securities which the bank holds arc some 4SO shares of stock In the company. Mrs. Goodman alleges that If the bank appropriates the proceeds of the In surance policies It has "enough- " pay off the Indebtedness of the deceased and that the shares ought to bo turned over to her. The bank , however , denies that the pro ceeds will suffice to settle the cnttro In debtedness , Inasmuch as It Is alleged to amount to almost If not fully $45,000. Therefore It asks that n receiver be ap pointed to determine the ownership of the shares. If It Is determined that they belong to Mrs. Goodman , the bank desires that they bo sold or the property they represent bo sold nnd the proceeds be used by Mrs. Good man ns administratrix of the estate In pay- Inn off the. Indebtedness. The bank also sets out that among the securities which It holds are a number of mortgages , but those do mot cut as big a figure In the litigation as the policies and the shares of stock. AVAS UOLL.rT'S IMIIVATI3 DEPOSIT. Court I'IINHCH on the School Money In the Midland llniilc. Judge Keysor yesterday denied the pe tition of William A. Paxton , as trustee of the bondsmen of Bolln as city treasurer , In which ho asked for the possession of n $10,000 certificate of deposit placJd with the Midland State bank by Bolln and still re tained by It. He also ordered the suit dis missed. After the shortage In the city treasury had been discovered the bank re fused to give up the- money , Inasmuch ns It held a claim against Bolln for half the amount , and alleged that It was entitled to payment' out of tha money , as Bolln placed It as n personal deposit. Interest In the casa was further augmented by the petition of Intervention on the part of the bonds men of Bolln ns treasurer of the Board of Education. They alleged that the money was ecnooi money aim siiouiu uicreiore ue transferred back to the school fund. This petition of Intervention Judge Keysor al lowed. While Judge Keyjsor swept the suit away , his decision opens the way for further liti gation. In his opinion he held that the bank was entitled to Its claim against the money on deposit , and that after It was de ducted , the Board of Education was entitled to the balance. Paxton , he- held , had no claim whatever on the money. The Judge tcok this ground on the position that when the certificate of deposit was as signed to Paxton by Bolln , the latter had no authority whatever to do so. When Bolln placed the money on deposit ho endorsed the certificate as treasurer of the Board of Edu cation , and by doing to ho made1 It the property of the board and Inert It could only bo assigned by that body. Therefore , when Bolln assigned to Paxton he-did EO without authority and Paxton knew this when he saw the endorsement of Bolln as treasurer of the Board of Education. On the point of the bank's claim * to portion tion of the money , Judge Keysor paid that there was nothing In the evidence to show that the money was public or private. Even If It was public ho held that It was not shown that the bank was one of thosei In which Bolln was authorized to deposit city funds. By putting money In a depository not authorized , Bolln was acting contrary to law and therefore at the peril of himself and his bondsmen. In consequence , Hie deposit could be looked upon na on Individual ono and the bank could obtain Its claim out of It. After this was deducted the remainder belonged to the Board of Education , as In his endorsement of the certificate of deposit Bolln showed that ho acted as treasurer of the beard. Yesterday afternoon n motion for a now trial of the casa was filed by Paxton. It was based on alleged errors made by the court , especially In permitting testimony to bo In troduced In the trial as to the solvency of Bolln. HEM ) THAT THE WILb AVAS GOOD. Over HeHpelor Properly Gocx to a HlKher Court. Judge Keysor yesterday decided to ad mit the entire will of Emily B. Hejneler to probate. This partially reverses the decision of the county court , where that portion of the will relating to the personal property of the deceased was admitted. The protest against the probating of the will was brought In the first place by the brothers and sisters of the deceased , all of whom were left , out In the cold , the entire property having been bequeathed to a step son , Judge Baxter's decision was appealed from and the hearing took place Friday before Judge Keysor. The only Issue at the hearing was ths con tention on the part of the contestants of the will that the will was not properly \vlt- neswil. This affected only that portion re ferring to the realty , It having been admitted that It did not affect the personalty , The will was witnessed by two peruans , but It was held that as the Instrument was executed In Canada , the statutes of this Elate did not apply. It was argued that , therefore , tire legality of the will must bo viewed In the light of the dictates of common law , which required such Instruments to be signed by three witnesses. Judge Keysor went extensively Into what was known as common law , and found noth ing which would apply to the point raised. Ho therefore held that the entire will could bo probated under the statutes of this state. As the queetlon Is a new one , the case will bo carried to the supreme court. 'The attorneys for the contestants were al lowed a fee of $600 by the court.

IT HIADE I NO DIFFERENCE Cowling Qrantdd liiconso Though Ho Sold Liqnonon Sunday , GETS OUT UNDER ANOTHER MAN'S ' NAME Thin In the Rx | 1nnnlloii Offered by the CoiiiiiUnnloiUTN Neither In a liar to Seenr- 11 The Hoard of Fire nnd Police Commls- oloncrs met In special session yesterday to hear the evidence In the case of the Is suance of a liquor license to M. J. Dow ling , In which a protest had been filed by Edward Rosewntcr. on the ground that the applicant had violated the Slocumb law by selling liquor on Sunday. The first witness was W. K. Swossy , who testified that ho had visited the saloon "In the Crclghton theater block , presided over by Mr. Dowllng , on Sunday evening , December 29. He went In the first time about S o'clock accompanied by a friend. They found the bar In operation In the basement and called for two glasses of beer , which they drank and paid for. After the first act ol the play which was going on nt the theater they re turned to the saloon , where they found a crowd of men congregated around the bnr. Most of them were drinking nnd both beer and whisky were ordered , drank nnd paid for whllo they wcro In the room. The wit ness further stated that during some Sunday In October ho had been In the saloon In the basement with n friend. At that time one of them drank boer nnd the other whisky. On cross-examination the attorney for Mr. Dowllng endeavored to show by the witness that he had been eent to the saloon by Mr. lloscwater for political purposes , but failed to establish the point. The witness admit ted that ho had bsen Instructed by Mr. nose- water to make nn Investigation of the man ner In which the liquor buslnew was bslng conducted In the central part of the city. Ho had been given n list of the leading sa loons and ho had visited these and also sev eral others. Ho had written out his ob servations In the form of a report and had handed It to Mr. Hosownter. In giving him his Instructions Mr. Ilosownter had stated that ho had had Information that the down town saloons were being run wide open In defiance of the law and ho wanted him to discover If such were the facts. TO DETERMINE THE FACTS. Mr. Uosowater was called to the f land and testified that he had no personal knowledge of the facts In regard to the violations of the liquor law. He was simply acting on the Information that had been furnished hlmliy other parties. He had heard from numcriSus sources that the law was being constantly violated , and he had eent out a reporter to find out whether these leports were true. On cross-examination Mr. Rosewater was asked for what purpose he. had made this Investigation. He answered that It was be cause ho wanted to have satisfactory proof whsthcr the reports that the present pre tended enforcement cf the law was a sham He wished to show whether the reform for which the present board had pretended to bs organized was a fraud and whether there was better government than there was before the change. The counsel for-the defense tried to show- by the witness that quiet drinking had al ways been tolerated on Sunday. Mr. Hose- water stated that he had no personal knowl edge of the matter , but the first act of the new board had been to promulgate an order that the Slocumb < law should be strictly en forced. All his Information was to the effect that notwithstanding that order the saloons had been allowed to run wide open. Ho had also undaritcrad that members of the board had pronilsed protection to certain Ealoon keepers. .There was a much lower standard or enforcement 01 tiie law man was previously the case. Some of the sa loons were open until 2 o'clock In the mornIng - Ing and opened again two hours later. Colonel Foster and Mr. Vandervoort took advantage of the opportunity to endeavor to shift the responsibility on the city prose cutor. They asked If when , they had tried to make arrests nnd the prosecutor had re fused to prosecute they were not Justified In making no more , arrests until there was a change In the administration. Mr. Ilosewatcr replied that If the prosecutor cuter refused to do his duty the board had a remedy nnd it should have at least made n report of the facts to the city coun cil. Ho had several times , asked the prosecutor cuter what there was In these charges that ho neglected to prosecute , and the party had declared that he was always willing to bring cases where there was any chance to secure a conviction , but he did not propose to waste his time on cases where the evidence was plainly Insufficient. Mr. Broatch took his turn at the. wllnes ? and tried to score a point by Inquiring whether Mr. Rosewatcr had not accompanied a delegation of brewers between 1SS7 and 1890 , who had asksd for a more lenient ad ministration of the Sunday laws. Mr. Rosewater - water stated that In the case , mentioned the brewers had merely asked that the law- should not bo strictly 'enforced , relative to some of the gardens outside of the popu lated district of the city. At that time the city had police Jurisdiction for two miles outside of the city limits and these gardens were In that district. They had asked that soms leniency be shown In these cases where the resorts were remote from population and from churches nnd schools. B. D. Drlscoll , who had accompanied Mr. Sweesy nt the time of his visit to the saloon In the Crelghton theater building , was called. His testimony was * Elmply n corroboratlon of the facts as related by Mr. Sweesy. Police Sergeant Cory testified that ho was In the corridor leading to the saloon on the Sunday night In question. He had seen many persons going down the stairs toward the ealoon between the nets , , but ho had not followed them nnd did not go Into the saloon. Ho could not swear that they bought liquor , as ho did not look to see. DOWLING NOT RESPONSIBLE. Thei defense called only two witnesses. The first was Chief of Police Slgwart , who testified to the general good character of the place and the fact that It was patronized by a respectable class of peopleTha defcnsa also called upon Chief Slgwart to state that the saloon 'was connected with the Crelghton theater and that the theater was a very respectable - spectablo place of entertainment. In his own defense Mr , Dowllng stated that ho had no license last year. The license Issued to a man named Ilindrlckson had simply been transferred to the Crelghton block and he hud managed the Ealoon for Hendrlckson. It developed that this wis the- defense on which his attorney rilled , as going to show tthat Dowllng was not re sponsible for what occurred at the resort last year. An effort was made to show by Dowllng that the protest wag a matter of political significance. Dowllng Bworo that Thomas Ountby bad visited his saloon upon one occasion and told him that there- had been a meeting of ' "soreheads , " at which It had been decided to 'Jgo after" a lot of people who had not done the right thing at the ( lection and that Dowllng was one of the men on the list. lOrnuby had not said that Mr. Rosowatcr had employed him In any capacity , but the witness had formed the Impression that .Ormsby was working In Itoic'water's Interests. On cross-examination the witness failed to give any d finite reason for forming any such conclusion. At the afternoon session Mr , Ilcsewater and Thomas Ormcby were on th ; stand , Mr. Rcsewater said that he had never employed Ormsby to spy about saloons nor Instructed reporters to threaten ealoon kceprrc. Mr , Ormsby's testimony corroborated this , and Ormsby further said that In his talk with Dowllng he did not mention Mr. Rosewater - water as being particularly Interested In the matter. He had never sold to Dowllng that it would be best for him to have a talk with Mr. ftosewater. F. M. lmrdbun , an tattorney , testified that hs had noticed the Interior door of tCe Cralghton theater budding leading Into ( he saloon open on Sundays , and of his own notion warned the managers of the theater that the law should be compiled with. Chairman Broatch then announced ttmt the board would overrule the pretest and grant the licence. He fa Id It would do tbli be cause the testimony by the protestaut couIJ not Apply to Dotvllng , elnco ho did not hold a license taut yrnr.

SAN FRANCISCO , Jan. 4. The prelim inary examination of Mrs. Mary Davidson on the charge of extorting $500 from Rev. C. 0 , Brown , pastor of the First Congregational church , was resumed today In the police court. The room was crowded with church workers and frlend.i of the principals In the case , the women spectators being In the ma jority. Dr. Brown testified on cross-exam ( nation that ho did not know Mrs. Baddln and did not know whether nny pnrt of the $600 went to Mrs. Unddln , but snld the os- tciiD'.blo object In paying the money was to silence Mrs. Bnddln's tongue. Police Detective Seymour , who arrested Mrs. Davidson , cnld she had admitted re ceiving the money , nnd nlso that she had signed the receipt admitted In evidence. The defendant had explained to the detective that the receipt was for the purpose of pre venting the Baddln woman from worrying Dr. Brown. The prosecution hero announced Its testimony closed , nnd the defense asked that the charge bo dlsmlss.nl , claiming that the money had been paid to Mrs. Davidson for Mrs. Baddln , and that the defendant , In stead of being n blackmailer , had acted ns the pastor's friend and agent. The motion for a dismissal of the charge was denied. Dr. Drown was again put on the stand when the aftcrnosa session of the police court examination of Mrs. Davidson was com menced. The attorney for the defense asked the wltncsD n long list of questions relating to his Intimacy with Mlw Overman and In quiring no to his guilt. On the Instruction of his attorney Dr. Brown refused to answer all questions bearIng - Ing on his guilt or Inncconco of his alleged Intrigue , and the court sjstalned the prosecu tion's objections to the character of the cross- examination. The minister wa.i tortured and goaded by the defense and was finally asked If he had not confetwd to giving both to Miss Overman and to his wlfo a drug to produce - . duce a criminal effect. Dr. Brown could not contain himself at this nnd sprang at Mrs. Davidson's attorney , shouting : "You nro an Infamous man. It's a He. " The clergyman'u attorney said ho would knock the attorney for the defence down If h ? were In his place , but officers of the court Interfered to prevent violence between the excited opponents. Dr. Brown will not preach tomorrow , his pulpit being occupied during the trial by a theological profes : r. Th'sentiment among the members of his church Is said to be less favorable to the minister than when the first report's of the scandal wen ? announced. A strong section of the congregation Is said to favor forcing Dr. Brown's resignation. An ecclesiastical court of Inquiry Is likely to fol low Mrs. Davidson's trial whether or not she Is convicted of blackmail. AA'herc 1 Ilohert n. Xclxoii ? CHICAGO , Jan. 4.

Mrs. Ish wns In confinement continuously slnco the murder occurred In last June , with the exception of dally outings she had In charge of a bailiff.

This fact wns brought to the attention of Judge Key ser , who visited the jail and looked at the child.
