city, this afternoon returned verdict for
defendants on the three issues submitted.
The plaintiff is Mrs. E. Anthony, well.
known writer for the California press, and
the suit was brought to eject defendant (the
Willie Chapman who travelled with Heller)
from two-aere tract in the Willows. Chap
man held possession and lease from a.
Pfester, executor of the will Of John p Smith,
deceased. Mrs. Anthony's mother lived as
Smiths wife for fourteen years, but defendant

whom he deserted in 1868. The premises
were conveyed to Mrs. Smith No. 2, and her
will devised the same TO her daughter, Mrs.
Anthony. Smith in bis will left everything
to wife No. /, and the jury found that Nc. 2

the land was paid by him. and that Mrs.
Smith No. 2 merely held the land in trust for
him.
