He wanted TO make the ring himself. so as
to enhance the value of the gift in the eyes
of his beloved one. The request was very

duty of helping him TO do the work and &c

''He knew as much about making a ring

Windsor Hotel, New York. For weddi ng
gift Mrs. Hopkins gave her adopted son
some very costly presents. 1t was some time
after this that Edward f. Searles, who had
been engaged in the decorating work OF the
Mob Hill mansion, laid siege to the widows
heart and married her. From that time on
the two men were antagonistic, ana the will
of Mrs. Searles has not served to har-
monte them. What the result of the COM
ing fight will be no one can tell; but young
Timothy has the good will and sympathy OF
hosts Of friends.
The baptismal records of ST. Mary's
Church at Augusta Me, where Nolan and
his wife attended service. show that on
April 3, 1859, Rev. C. Egan. the pastor
that time, bal tised young Timothy, who
was born March 9. 1889, the sponsors having
been Martin Falon and Nancy Nolan.
The priest of the Augusta church told re-
porter of the Boston Globe that the main
question in the will contest rested upon
this very birth and baptism.
But to return to the birthplace of young
Timothy. The house was story aud a
half structure, the old-fashioGed paneS OF
glass giving way i'll time 10 more modern
ones, and the rough board sides being

she bore him two children.

of undue influence. Until the influence Of
Mr. Searles was felt Timothy Hopkins had
managed the estate. General Hubbard says
that Mr.. SearleS was never anxious about
the contest, and never made any ierYent
Oyertures for a settlement. OF Mr.. Hop
kins' plans he knows nothing, but all the
talk Of spoolss aud SpiTtualism is humbug.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Searles were attendants
OF the Episcopal Church.
Mrs. SearleS' estate is VariOnsly estl-
mated in value at from $50, 100000 TO $780,
600, 900, and something of the history OF the
contestant for these millions must be OF in
terest to those here who know him well.
His fathers name was Patrick Nolan and
the name of his mother Catherine Fallun.
They were married in Augusta, from which
place they walked to Baiieyvlle, thirteen
miles distant, where Nolan was engaged as
a painter Of Oilcloths. His wages amounted
to but dollar dav; so, when the gold

A DESPERATE VILLAIN FOILED.

Il wealthy Manufacturer Escapes Death
at the Hands of Relative.
The arrest of James E. Cutter by the
Boston police spoiled diabolical scheme
TO murder and rob, and brought to light a
collection of internal machines sufficient to
blow up half the city.
Cutters sister married Luther III. Rowe,
wealthy manufacturer. Mr.. Rowe's
home is in Melrose, but his mandatory is
at Haverhill. Cutter was angry because
his wealthy brother-in-law refused to ad-
vance as much cash as his eXtrayagant
tastes demanded, and tried to take his life.
In 1883 he made the first attempt, and was
arrested and sentenced to two years im-
prisonment As soon as he was released
he again laid his plans to secure his brother
ln-lawS wealth. He roomed in Chambers
street, and after his arrest the nature of his
plot was revealed. His original plan was
to blow up his victim.
be laid dn a big stock of giant powder.
nitro-glyceriue. dynamite and a regular
arsenal OF firearms. In addition to these
weapons he had many bombs ready for use.
His original scheme was to conceal bomb
in an umbrella and Leave it in Mr. ROwe's
hands. Upon reflection he decided that
there was too much danger to himself in
that plan, so he abandoned 1t for the plan
OF Blowing up the house. But that might
involve the destruction of his sister, and
that scheme, too, was given up.
Late Wednesday lie cOniided his plan to
an old fried, William Butler. He and But
Ter had worked together in the same shop.
He asked Buffers assistance in removing
Rowe and promised him half the money that
was expected to result from the crime. But
Ter first thought the whole matter a joke, but
when lie discovered that Cutter was really
bent on murder and robbery he pretended
10 approve Of the scheme in order TO hold
the mans confidence, and then he revealed
the plot to the police.
Cutters plan was to have been put into
operation Tonight. He was at the rendez-
vous waiting for his aecomplice when the
police arrested him. He and Butler were to
have proceeded to Mr.. Rowe's house at Mel
rose. Butler WAS TO ring the bell, and it
was anticipated that Mr., Rowe would
answer the bell in person. As soon as he
opened the door Cutter was to shoot him.
Ii he missed his aim Butler was to fire.
Then having disposed Of Mr.. Rowe the
two men were TO cover Mrs. Rowe with
their reyovers and force her to give up all
the money and vauables in the house. In
case she refused she, too, was to be muir
dered.-Boston special to Inter Ocean.
