KOWALSKY'S WRATH.
He Pitches Into General John
III. Dickinson.
The Order suspending James Gilleran as Ad-
ministrator Of the Jessup Estate Re-
voked by Judge Coffsy.

AS stated, Judge Coffey Of the Superior
Court on Monday afternoon suspended the
powers of James Gilleran as administrator
of the estate of Gershom p. Jessup, because
1t was alleged that he had made improper use
of the funds Of the estate intrusted to his
charge.
In the petition to the court it was said
that III. l. Kowalsky, a well-known lawyer,
who is the attorney Of the claimant to the
estate had been especially favored by Gill
leran, and that the claimant himself had
been fed at Gilleran's hotel. 1t was also
said that Gilleran had given Kowalsky finan-
cial inducements to support the claimant
and had loaned him money from the estate
at very low rate of interest
Gilleran was cited to show cause on Fri
day morning why his powers should not be
removed, but kowalsky went before Judge
Coffey yesterday and said:
vICIoUsLY FALSE STATEMENTS.
All The statements In this petition OF Isaac
Jessup are made by m II who has no standing
IL this court so FAR AS that estate is concerned.
The only person interested Is Richard 7. Jessup,
and he Is not complaining. All tue statements
made by General DicKinsOn are viciousIy false
and Inspired solely by personal motives. He
made them knowing them TO be false for no
other purpose than 10 have them published In
the newspapers.
All OF the statements charging the admins
traitor with wroug-doing are untrue. The very
records uf his court Will show just what has
been done The bank books and I he vouchers
are all here. Dickinson had full opportunity to
INSPECT those books and he did inspect them.
AS TO my own solvency,1 am perfectly willing
10 make proper showing to This court. man
who Is carrying from 100000 TO 100000
worth OF property must necessarily have a few
debts here aud there. AS to that Santa Monica
property, /; alone is asily worth S225, 600.
would not take oday S235, 900 of any mans
money for that property. The mortgage upon it
has been redncrd two-lhlrds' since the matters
say that were l so disposed l could fiji this
courtroom full OF truthful stories OF Dlckmson's
cowardice aud lack OF character, and nobody
could De lound 10 question their truthiulneSS.
THE SUSPENSION REVOKED.
Mr.. Kowaloky pettioned Judge Coffey to
modify his order suspending Mr.. Gilleran
and to relnState him as administrator pend
ing the hearing of the order to show cause.
After lengthy argument Judge COffey
stated that, without wishing to PREJUDICE tie
case, he had minated on Monday to Mr..
| Dickinson, the attorney for Isaac Jessup,
that the allegations concerning the expenses
| of the New York litigation, as well as the
qualifications Of Mr.. knwalsky as Il surety,
| had been fully inquired into long time
| ago, when counsel on both sides were pres
| ent and Isaac JesSup and his attorney be-
| ing then present had their day in court"
| and we're now precluded from urging such
| stale claims
In conclusion Judge Coffey remarked that
| Jessup in the matter, and in his opinion il
any one had cause to complain OF malad-
| miuistratiUn it was the heir, Richard Page
| JeSsup. and not Isaac. The Judg there
| upon revoked his former order, aud Mr.
Giie an Was accordingly reinstated as
| prayed for.
| MIR. MAHoNEY INDIGNANT.
State Senator j. IL. Mahoney in an inter-
| view made most emphatic denial OF the
| truthtuintsS OF any and all OF the allegations
| in Isaac JeSSup'S petition, and anGrily de-
| nounced him as one whose character fol-
| truth and yeracity was success sfully i'm
| peached on tie trial of the case. "These
| allegations" remarked Mr.. Mahoney, "are
| sworn to on the information and belief
plan, ruse to avoid q prosecution for
| perjury"
Per contra, the Senator said that since the
| inauguration OF the contest he has had the
| petitioner dwelling in and forming part Of
| his own family, and the expenses OF
| Richards maintenance were paid for out OF
| Mahoney's private purse
| As to the allegation that Mr.. Gilleran has
| been supporting witnesses for r. z. Jessur
| and employing detectives. it is all denied
most strenuously by Mahoney, who adds that
| all the detective work in the case on behalf
| of petitioner, Richard Page Jessup, was done
under his (MahOney's) supervision, and that
| neither Glleran nor the estate contributed oil
paid one cent toward the expense thereof.
