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.
