A MISSING DOCUMENT.
Provisions of Mrs. Hopkins Searle

Provisions of Mrs. Hopkins Searles'
Former VIII.
FOur years ago Mrs. Hopkins-Seares in
formed two persons that about the time of
her second marriage she had made a will
in favor of several near relatives whom she
had befriended during her lifetime.
This document, which is missing specif-
cally described the relative esteem which
Mrs. Hopkins entertained for ce rtain con-
nectiOns, prominent among whom were Mr..
and Mrs. Timothy Hopkins, to whom she
willed One-half of the estate.
The liberal bequeSts made to near rela-
tives by the terms nf this document are cited
to prove the real intent of Mrs. Hopkins be-
fore her second marriage and the contents
Of the will, 1t is probable, will form the
fundamental basis of the claims now being
made on the estate.
The names of Mrs. Hopkins two conf
dants regarding this will are Mrs. Jane A.
Smith and Mrs. Harriet Hebbard, who do
not appear with the other contestants, but
who are prepared to testify to Mrs. Hop
kins-Searles' promises and to her statements
regarding the terms of the will Both of
these ladies are firmly convinced that Mrs.
H0pkiRS-SearleS was unduly influenced in
the making of her last will. Her previous
assurances had all been to the contrary and
had been made voluntarily. They state that
she was not readily susceptible to the influ-
ence OF those about her, and that they are
at loss to understand the sudden and in
explicable change in her intentions.

GOLDING IN COURT.
The Story of the Bloody Battle
With the Police.

The story of the bloody battle in the
Golding residence, on Turk street, on the
night of July Goth. was retOld in Police
Court l yesterday. On that eventful night,
Policeman L. L. Mott went with Clement
Lacombe hOstler. TO serve a search war
rant and recover a stolen horse, but the in
vaders encountered Captain Thomas Gold
ing, his son. Thomas. and Mrs. There sa
Golding.
pitched battle with swords, pistols and
water pitchers cnsued, with the result that
three policemen were badly battered and
Captain Golding received a bullet in the
back, from which he has just recovered. 1t
was for this reason that his preliminary eX-
animation on the two charges of assault to
murder did not come up in Police Court
until yesterday. Similar charges are pend
ing against Golding Jr. aud Mrs. Golding.
j. n Z. Wilson appeared for the defense
and j. j. Dunno as special counsel Tor the
prosecution.
Lacombe testified that lie had traced his
stolen horse to the Goldtng stable, aud that
young Golding fired a shot at him when he
tried TO recover the animal. When lie went
with Officer Mott to serve the search war
rant they were met at the front door by
young G0lding, who held pistol in each
hand.
When Mott stated that he was an officer
Golding snatched his star, and then he
shouted, "Pve mind to plug you" Young
Gulding's next move was to put one pistol
back in his belt and present the other at
Lac0mbe's head.
Mott blew his whistle for assistance and
Officers Brown and MCGEE responded. 1t
was then that Golding ST. appeared with a
rusty cutlaSs and struck McGee over the
head. Mrs. Golding also took hand in the
affray and smashed water pitcher over
Motifs head. Thereafter the three shots
were fired, one bullet striking McGee in the
leg and another lodging in Captain Golding's
back.
Lacombe was certain that all the shots
were fired by young Golding although the
Goldings assert that the police did all the
shooting Officers Mott, Biron and MCGEE

One of the most vOluminOus and carefully
drawn wills filed for long time was that
of the late United States Circuit Judge
Lorenzo Sawyer, presented yesterday Tor

covers twenty seven pages of closely written
legal cap, and lengthwise on the m argln OIL

nullified, the legatee having died, and the
bequests instead are made of $1,000 TO her
eldest son. Howard w. Adams, and 5000 TO
her youngest son, Sherwood Hopkins
Adams.
In the will proper the law library is left to
that one of his sons who shall follow law as
a profession, but in the cod.cl both
the law and miscellaneous Libraries

vided between them as they may see IT.
There are number of special bequests 20

inasmuch as he had expended $1,000 TO build
the yacht Linda for his son Prescott at the
latter's special solicitation. that amount VIII

Judge formerly wore as pin, but which
was afterward worn In ring by his vile.
Prescott was also bequeathed diamond
l0cket, containing the likeness of his mother.

verware and furniture of his house to his
two sons, though in the original will the sill
veGware was bequeathed to his stepdaugh-
ter since deceased. Oue Of the last causes
