New York Prostitute Blsckmails the
Heirs Of Loring A. Robertson.
New York, March Especial. When
Loring A. Robertson died q few months
ago he left an estate of 5000, 600 He was
believed to have been bachelor, but
In short time a mysterious widow
appeared to claim her legal third
property. Naturally the greatest commo-
ton was caused among Robertson's heirs,
and preparations were made TO fight the
claim. The case came to trial, but before
it had gone far the widow withdrew. A
current rumor has it that the heirs
thought it cheaper to pay her $50, 600 than
go to the expense of legal contest.
A Herald reporter has been at work on
the case for some time, and tomorrow the
paper will publish an expose of great
conspiracy to defraud the rightful heirs,
and will drag into the scandal
two well known attorneys, Byron
Cohen and John +. Baker The
alleged widow was . notorious woman
named Cassie Brooks. She is said to have
received SIS, 900 Of the money secured and
the lawyers got the rest What the heirs
will do in the case remains to be seen, but
it will probably 60 hard with all concerned
in the case.

Der of witnesses In the Kincaid trial were
examined this morning. William McCor-
mick. one Of the doorkeepers Of the House,
said he heard Taulbee call Kincaid liar
before the shooting occurred. About an
hour and q quarter afterward Kincaid re-
turned and asked witness advice as to
what he should do in regard to the trouble
Witness replied that he had no advice to
give. Said Kincaid: 81 am not able to
cope with such man as Taulbee. I have
been sick and weak. More than that,
was not armed; did not even have my
cane" Then Kincaid left and walked
rapidly to the head Of the stairway. In q
short time, about half minute, witness

animation he denied having heard Taul-
bee call Kincaid "dirty liar. monkey"
or damned little coward" nor did he
hear Taulbec tell Kincaid to 60 and arm
himself. Robert Woodbridge, another

cormick's testimony, except he testified to

Entertainments. HYPERION THKATER.

It was well pleased audience that as-
 sembled at the Hyperion theater last even ing to testify to Manager Walls populari- ty and to see the first presentation of MT. Sothern's new play. If play and players are half as successful before a met
 ropolitan audience as they were last even | ing "Felix Porter, Gentleman" :" will eclipse
 'Lord Chumley." Frequent applause, a | hearty encore after the first act, double encore at the end of the second act, and | wonder of wonders-a double encore and | cheers at the conclusion of the play, made | up a veritable triumph for the sterling young actor. The great success of the | play as given last evening was due rather | to the excellence of the company and the | sparkling dialogue than to the action or its | novelty. It is more witty than ''Lord l Chumley" and not nearly so romantic as 1 "The Aaister of Woodbarrow." Its suc- cess is assured. Such star supported by 1 such company would make almost any 1 play at least moderately successful. It is certainly well suited to MT. Sothern, and | perhaps that is it's greatest merit. The story of the play is the weakest part of it,
 but the dialogue is excellent-not wordy,
 but bright and mirth-provoking Those
 who saw the play last evening will await
 with interest its first production at the | Lyceum theater.
 COLUMBIA COLLEGE DRAMATIC CLUB.
 The Columbia College Dramatic club
 will appear in three new comedies to-mor:
 row evening. Speaking of Fennel, one oi
 the comedies to be produced, an exchange
 says: " 'Fennel,' the last play from the pen | of Jerome K. Jerome, the famous young English author who wrote the "Maister oi
 Woodbarrough," {" Sunset" etc. The plot
 is new and original and holds the audience
 with interest from the beginning to the
 end. The principal part, Fillipo, is played
 by MT. Morrell, who played the part ol
 Lafayette at the recent performance ot
 that name" The sale of seats is now ir progress.
