Of this place. Atan early a"e owing to
the failing health Of his father George
Appel, he was called upon TO take
charge Of his fathers business, and
finally bought his father out. His
only fault Is that Of being confirmed

the fact that "A man with the artistic

quired considerable Of the stuff "that

of the same. THE real struggle" said he,
''and the one which must settle the question
involved for all time. will begin next May"
Mr.. Hopkins explained the law Of Massa-
chusetts relating to the probating of wills.
which he says is peculiar in many respects,
and unlike anything found in the Statutes
Of California. This law provides for the es-
tablishment Of a Probate Court as In all
other States, but the methods Of procedure
in Massachusetts are altogether different.
1t Is before this court that the examinations
just held have been conducted. The next
step is to take the will before a Supreme
Court Judge. selected by the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts, but from his decision
there is yet an appeal to the Supreme bench.

VESTS WEIRD TALE.

His Wife's Sake.
She Talks Pleasantly and Tells How 1t Feels
to Be shot-Mrs. Cotter's Appear
auce in Court.

Two women whose rames have been
mentioned oftener during the past forty
eight hours than any other members of the
gentler sex in San Francisco are prisoners
within the gloomy precincts OF that ancient
rookery known rs the old City Hall. One.
Mrs. Emma Vest, has been lying upon cot
in the Receiving Hospital since Saturday,
and the other, Mrs Mary Cotter is an in
mate of the dismal City Prison Hospital.
The difference between these unfortunate
women is that while Mrs. Vest is volun-
tary prisoner. because the terrible wounds
inflicted by her furious, jealous husband do
not permit her to arise from her cot of SUI
fering, Mrs. COtter has many iron doors
and bars between herself and liberty. She
is prisoner in every sense of the word and
has a charge of murder staring her in tie
face, for the serious reason that she killed
on Monday Policeman jeremiah j. Cotter,
her husband. while defending her life.
Perhaps she suffers more mental anguish
than the woman so seriously wounded, for
her hands are stained with the blood of a
human being. Considerable sympathy is
publicly expressed fol both, but that has
little to do to soften the most trying, painful
ordeal of their lives

Little Pierce Howard Dawson Jr., aged 2
years and months, had met terrible death
by falling from the third story of the home
of his parents The unfortunate lads father

accident occurred he was somewhere on the

The family occupies the fiat on the third
floor of the building. Baby Pierce was in
the kitchen at o'clock yesterday afternoon
playing with two neignbors' children. For
half an hour their innocent. childish prattle
and laughter were plainly heard by Pierce's
mother and grandmother who sat in the
parl0r.
FORGOT THE CAUTION.
The little ones had been cautioned not to
60 near a window opening out between the
two dwellings and overlooking the garden
anu BIdIite WHlhS lHliJN-uf6 letl DeIOW.
The window raised very easily owing to a
broken catch, and that is why the children
had been told not to 60 near 1t.
Pierce seems 20 have forgotten the warn
ing, for he toddled to a chair, climbed upon
it and raised the window with his chubby
hands. The next instant he lost his balance
and fell headlong to the hard walk below.
Mrs. White, who was seated at the side
window on the floor below saw the baby in
his descent to death and uttered piercing,
agOnizing shrek that attracted the attention
of Mrs. Dawson and her mother.
They ran to the Open window and at once
realized what had happened to their dar-
ling pet, and with blanched faces and bated
breath the ladies quickly ran down to the
garden. The mother sprang forward and
found her little offspring in pool of blood.
THE SPIRIT HAD DEPARTED.
She strained him to her breast, but a
glance showed her that the spirit of her
child had departed. His head was terribly
crushed and his body maDgled. No mora
would those baby eyes look lovingly into
hers and lisp ''mamua." The almost heart
broken mother handed the lifeless body of
the infant to sympatnlZing nelghbors and
was then led back into the house as though
in a trance
News of the tragic death of the child was
telephoned to the Coroner. and Deputy
Bridgewood went out with the dead"
wagon to remove the remains to the Morgue.
After arriving at the house and ascrr-
tanning tine particulars of the terrible death
he decided not to disturb the body, but to
let it remain until turned over to an under
taker.
Little Pierce was a favorte among the
children in the neigborhood and their grief
is incOnSolable.
