Original Document.

Application for Probate of the william
Original Document.
Mrs. Louisa A. 0ppenheim, widow OF the
late Raphael Oppenheim, has filed in the
Superior Court petition to be appointed
executrix of the estate of deceased, in &C
eordance with the provisions of his will
The hearing OF the petition and for the pro-
bate of the viii was set for next Friday, the
10Th inst.
The latter instrument is brief and novel
production. 1t is dated June 20, 1890, was
written BY the deceased, and evidently
without much suggestion by lawyers still,
il is clearly enough worded, and conveys
the writer's wishes in way that cannot be
misunderstood. In the first place, deceased
declares that he does not owe any person q
cent, except that there may be promissory
note extant with his signature, and if so 1t
must be in the hands of d. o. Mills Co.
II such a note be out he wanted it paid
within ten days after his funeral.
Deceased bequeaths the sum Of 81 600 to
his physician, DR.. w. &. Cluness. and q
like sum to his dear friend, G. T. Wheeler,
The balance of his estate he bequeaths to
his three children, Mrs Callie Thompson,
Philip and Emanuel Oppenheim.
The will states that everything was left
in good shape, and provides that deceased s
dear, dear dear wife" shall administer the
estate, without bonds. One statement IN
the will is to the effect that, in the author s
opinion, there was no necessity for any pro-
bate proceedings and the absorption of q
large portion of the estate by Court and
LAWYERS fees, but the writer added, phiio-
sophically, "but if it must be so, il must.
The value Of the estate is not estimated
in the will, nor in the petitioners applica.
ton for letters. Johnson, johnson & John
son are the petitioners g attorneys.

A LUNATIC,s FREAK.

He Gives Deputy sheriffs Beckley and
Eagan Lively Tussie.
Quite an exciting scene was witnessed by
psople at the depot yesterday afternoon
lust previous TO the departure Of the local
train for San Francisco. Deputy Sheriff
Beckley was sitting in one of the coaches
with an insane man named Walter john
son. who had been committed to Napa,
when all of q sudden the lunatic jumped
ND and commenced running along on top
OF the seats in the car. His arms were
strapped to bis sides, but he found little
difficulty in making rapid progress over
the top of the seats to the back of the car.
He then darted ont of the door and jumped
from the platform to the ground. At the
same instant the Southern exp ess train
entered the depot, and the madman COM
menced a race with it to the east end of the
depot. Deputy Sheriff Eagan was standing
near by. and he at once recognized john
son and made q break for him. He had
about caught up with the lunatic. when
the latter suddenly threw himself bodily
upon the steps of one of the cars OF the
train. which was in motion. He would
have fallen backward again had not one OF
the trainmen grabbed him by the collar
and held him until the officers arrived.

He Denies Having Paid Detective Cone
for His Performance.
EDS. RECORD UNION: In looking over
your paper this morning my eyes fell upon
an item headed LEFT in the Cold, and in
reading find it to be statement from W.
w. Gone, the private detective. Now, in
his statement to your reporter he is repre-
sented to have said that he was engaged by
the Law and Order League. Being the
only one that took prominent part in the
gambling cases, that we have heard so
much about lately, would like to say here
that the Law and Order League had moth
ing to do about it. It was all arranged by
private parties, and Mr.. Cone and few
others (not Law and Order mem, asked
me to allow them to use the name. After
consulting few of the members, and re-
ceiving their sanction, we allowed them to
do so, but we didn't promise him $500, nor
any other sum. Neither did We pay, or
agree 10 pay anything. Mr.. Cone has
never asked me for any money, but on the
contrary has told me that he had been
paid. and also the attorney.
The Law and Order League are not
paupers, but are all millionaires-figuring
principle By dollars and cents-and they
would like to say lust here, with all due
respect to our Chief of Police, that If he
viii identify himself with the Law and
Order League we will not ask him to leave
his office, but lend us his name and power,
by law, and we promise to close all gam
bling, of whatsoever kind, and in what the
people of this city will consider double
quick time. Very respectfully,

MORE OF 1T.

Gone Reiteratss that the Law and Order
League Employed Him.
w. w. Cone was seen last evening in
reference to the statements contained in a
published card yesterday signed by Mr..
Leitch. He said he was surprised at Mr..
Leitch's denial that the Law and Order
League was at the bottom of the prosecu-
tions, especially since Mr.. Leitch had testi-
fed in Court that euch was the case.
Leitch and others, Cone says, instructed
himself and the other witnesses to testify
that the Law and Order League had en-
ployed them. Leitch himself swore to the
hrst complaint against the gamblers, but it
did not hold, as he did not know the facts.
Mr.. Cone says he called on Mr.. Leitch
last evening and told him that he either
swore falsely in Court or that his published
statement in the Bee was false. Leitch
said he was excited when he wrote it, and
that what Cone said was true.
In conclusion, Cone said that ali the
money received by him for work in the
gambling cases was recelpted for to the
Law and Order League. "All that remains
of the League now" be says, is Mr.. Leiteh
and his mouth and that the organization
disbanded all of nine months ago.

The footpads are not content to wait un-
til the State Fair shall bring crowd of
strangers to the city, but are plying their
vocation quite industriously every night.
On Thursday night they robbed Frank
Perry at Twenty eighth and NJ streets,
taking his coat and 81 in money. A young
man with him was also searched, but with
out result.
Between IL and o'clock the same night
a well-known citizen and business man
was collared on K street, near Fourth, by q
burly footpad, who would have robbed
him had not another man come along at
the right moment, causing him to let go
his victim and run.
Earlier in the evening two fellows fol-
lowed another citizen right to his residence,
evidently intending to rob him if good
opportunity presented itself.
a little cold lead administered to some
of these fellows might have good effect.

WARNER FAILED TO SqOH Up.
HE COMPLAINING WITNESS IN THE
GAMBLING CASES SKIPs.
Judge Armstrong Dismisses the Charges
Against Patrick-what Leitch and
Cone Have to Say.

In Judge Armstrong; Court yesterday
the three cases against Charles Patrick, for
gaming, were called for trial. District At
torney Bruner said the prosecution was not
ready to proceed with the trial of the cases,
owing to the absence of the chief witness,
Neil Warner. Warner, it will be remem-
bered, is the individual on whose testimony
the defendant was held to answer in the
Police Court, he testifying to having visited
a faro game at Third and & streets. at
which Patrick was the dealer, and lost
money thereat.
Mr.. Biuner said it was impossible to go
to trial, with any hope of success, unless
Warmers presence as witness could be
procured. True, the Grand Jury had in
yestigated the matter, and although War
ner was witness before that body, it had
ignored the charges and refused to indict
the defendant. Information had however,
been filed against Patrick By himself on
the strength of the action of the Police
Court in holding Patrick to answer, and ne
would he ready 20 proceed with the prose-
cution if Warner could be found.
confidently informed the Court that the
defense was ready to proceed. He ques-
toned the right of the District Attorney n
fling information against Patrick after the
Grand Jury had investigated the charges
and refused to bring indictments against
the accused. The arrest of Mr.. Patrick was
caused by private parties, based upon the
allegations OF one Warner, who now failed
to prose If the alleged offenses were
of different character he (Jones) believed
the District Attorney would promptly ad-
NIT his insbility to procure conviction,
and would ask for dismissal of the
charges.
Mr. Jones further held that the testi-
mony taken in the Police Court, and on the
strength of " hch the defendant was held
to answer, was insufficient to warrant such
a result as was shown by the subsequent
action of the Grand Jury in ignoring the
charges. He concluded his remarks by
asking the Court TO dismiss the cases.
Judge Armstrong said he could not dis
miss the cases. The District Attorney was
without the chief witness for the proseeu-
ton, it was true, but the cases would come
up again. He was, however, under the i'm
preston that the District Attorney had no
authority for filing informaiions after the
Grand Jury had investigated and ignored
the charges However, he would continue
the cases ard inquire into the matter.
During the afternoon session Mr.. Jones
renewed his motion for dismissal of the
cases, and Judge Armstrong-who had in
the meantime inquired into the matter
granted the motion.

the money; that Kee, his brother and an
other Chinaman assaulted him with opium
pipes, and not only beat but robbed him of

The officers concluded to lock him up

criminal assault upon Florence Butterield,
