VIEWED in any light suicide, es-

thing. 1t is confession of weakness

dodge the inevitable by resorting "a

frequently, in so doing. leaves Others
defenseless and helpless to bear bur-

PROCURED BY FRAUD.
Judgment in the KlOse.HiIlen-
brand Case Affirmed.

In the case of Philip Klose against WILL
lam Hillenbrand and others the plaintiff re-
covered judgment in The Surerior Court,
that deed, dated April % 1888. and con-
veying to the defendant half-interest in
piece of property valued at 100000, stu
ated on Valencia street, between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth. and formerly known as the
Hillenbrand but at present as the Valencia
House, was procured by fraud and artifice,
and is therefore null and void furthermore,
that deed conveying the said property to
Hiilenbrand's wife was executed in fraud of
the plaintiff.
The case was taken to the Supreme Court
on the contention, principally. that the
evidence addUced in the lower court was III
sufficient TO support the findings, but the
appellate tribunal, in decision rem
deTed yesterday, held that Klose made
deed that he did not intend
to make that he was old, sick aud of
impaired intellect; that the instrument was
without adequate consideration; for which
reasons, and others recited, the judgment of
the lower court was sustained.
The trial of the case in the lower court at
tracted great deal of attention, owing to
the great value of the property in con-
trOverSy and the sensational character of
the evidence adduced. DIR. SchmitZ was the
attending physician OF Klose, who was
thought TO be dying, and he represented
that, not to retard the building of the hotel,
which was being erected Jointly by Hillen-
brand and Klose, it would he well to convey
the property to the former the doct ors son
in-law), with the understanding that the
conveyance should not go into effect unless
the old man died of the illness foT which he
was being treated hose lived, but the
deed was duly recorded and the Hillen-
brands claimed the property.
