"-y- Pretty Ceremony .'Marks Nuptials of Miss Eleanor Slate and Ernest vonvLoben-iSels BECOMES BRIDE AT HOME OF PARENTS OAKLAND, Dec, 1. Insults were heaped upon Carl Eisenschimel, hand- writing expert, today by Attorney A. L. Frlck in the course of his argu- ment to save from conviction on a charge of felony embezzlement John S. de Lancey, former attorney, for George Gray, who was public adminis- trator of Alameda county until re- cently. "A, willful, malicious and devilish perjurer"; "a contemptible cur, lower than the lowest dog that sneaks on the streets"; "a professional witness who testifies for hire," were some of the phrases used by Frlck in referring to Eisenschimel. "Bearing in mind the story of Ananias," he -shouted to the Jury, "i<; is a good thing for.Elsen- schimel that the days of miracles have passed.** . TESTIMONY ABOUT AVRITIXG That Eisenschimel's testimony was regarded as vital in the trial -of De Lancey was clearly shown by this at- tack on his character, which- took up a great part of Frick's time today. The handwriting expert said, when on the witness, stand, that writing that could be seen,, though erased, in. the accounts of the estate of George Hite Cook, .which. De' Lancey is accused of looting of $10,000, '-was the handwrit- ing of the' defendant... . .-. Eisenschimel testified also that/the Indorsement on a certificate of deposit for $10,000, which was put into De Lancey's private ' bank account, was made at the same time as other in- dorsements on the certificate,- also made by De Lancry. -.The prosecution has relied much on this testimony/ as tending to disprove the theory of the defense that De Lancey had merely failed to account for money that came in his hands, intending all along to do so later. JUROR IX POOR HEALTH Assistant District Attorney Hynes clo?ed his argument to the, jury today, after which Frick began for the ; de- fense. He was still ; talking -/this afternoon, when an early- adjournment was taken to accommodate Juror Jef- ferson Gillam,.who is in a feeble con- dition.; Gillam is conveyed to and f*om. the courthouse to his home in a closed carriage by order of ; Judge Brown. Attorney M. C. Chapman will follow Frick for the defense. District Attorney Donahue' will make the clos- ing argument. - It is -expected that arguments in the case will be ended tomorrow after- noon. Judge Brown has expressed a disinclination to lock up the Jury over night because of the condition of Gll- lam, and It- is probable that the read- ing of instructions will be delayed until Friday. morning.

BECOMES BRIDE ATHOME OF PARENTS

OAKLAND, Dec, 1.—

Insults wereheaped upon Carl Eisenschimel, hand-writing expert, today by Attorney

A. L.Frlck in the course of his argu-ment to save from conviction on acharge of felony embezzlement JohnS. de Lancey, former attorney, forGeorge Gray, who was public adminis-trator of Alameda county until re-cently.

"A,willful, malicious and devilishperjurer"; "a contemptible cur, lowerthan the lowest dog that sneaks onthe streets"; "a professional witnesswho testifies for hire," were some ofthe phrases used by Frlck in referringto Eisenschimel. "Bearing in mindthe story of Ananias," he -shouted tothe Jury, "i<; is a good thing for.Elsen-schimel that the days of miracles havepassed.** .TESTIMONY ABOUT AVRITIXG

That Eisenschimel's testimony wasregarded as vital in the trial -of DeLancey was clearly shown by this at-tack on his character, which- took upa great part of Frick's time today.The handwriting expert said, when onthe witness, stand, that writing thatcould be seen,, though erased, in. theaccounts of the estate of George HiteCook, .which. De'Lancey is accused oflooting of $10,000, '-was the handwrit-ing of the' defendant... . .-.

Eisenschimel testified also that/theIndorsement on a certificate of depositfor $10,000, which was put into DeLancey's private 'bank account, wasmade at the same time as other in-dorsements on the certificate,- alsomade by De Lancry. -.The prosecutionhas relied much on this testimony/ astending to disprove the theory of thedefense that De Lancey had merelyfailed to account for money that camein his hands, intending all along to doso later.JUROR IX POOR HEALTH

Assistant District Attorney Hynesclo?ed his argument to the, jury today,after which Frick began for the ;de-fense. He was still ;talking-/thisafternoon, when an early- adjournmentwas taken to accommodate Juror Jef-ferson Gillam,.who is in a feeble con-dition.; Gillam is conveyed to andf*om. the courthouse to his home in aclosed carriage by order of ; JudgeBrown. • Attorney M. C. Chapman willfollow Frick for the defense. DistrictAttorney Donahue' will make the clos-ing argument.

-Itis -expected that arguments in the

case will be ended tomorrow after-noon. Judge Brown has expressed adisinclination to lock up the Jury overnight because of the condition of Gll-lam, and It-is probable that the read-ing of instructions will be delayed

until Friday. morning.
