A TANGLED WEB.
Judge Heydenfeldt's Secrets Told
in Court.
Married at Midnight by Justice Murray
Double First Cousins Wedded-His
Wife Was His stepsister.

The tangled web woven by the late eX-
Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt is being I'M
raveled in Judge COtfey's court. The de-
ceased jurist left in his will $1,000 to Henri
eta HC bert, and Henrietta Hubert comes
forward and declares that she is entitled to
much larger portion Of the estate because
she was Heydenfeldts wife.
She was on the Witness-stand in Judge
Cofley'S court yesterday afternoon, and tes-
titled that she was married to Heydenfeldt
in 1853 by Chief justice Murray Of the
State Supreme Court. The ceremony was
performed in Sacramento She and Hey
denieldt went to the capital city in boat,
and they were two days in making the yoy-
age. They reached the town at midnight,
and the nuptial knot was tied by the Judge
in a house which may have been the iurists
residence or n public building. There were
two witnesses.
WIFE AND sTEPsIsTER.
The maiden name of the eX-Judge's al
legged wife was Henrietta Mannihan. Her
mother was married to Judge Heydenfeldts
father, and she was therefore her alleged
husbands stepsiSter and his double first
cousin.
In answer to question by her attorney
Mrs. Heydenfeldt said that the men who
drove her 10 Justice Murray's house were
his servants. She was gwen Ceruhcate
stating that she had been married TO Solo
mon Heydenfeldt by Justice Murray. Hey-
denfeldt at that time was Murray's asso-
ciate and the witnesses to the marriage, ac-
cOrding to Mrs. Heydenfedps story, were
two OF Murray's servants.
The certificate Of the marriage was lost,
and the alleged wife kept the matter secret,
because IIeydenfeldt had promised TO pub
lish his relation TO her at the expiration OF
one year. The year passed away, but the
juTist refused to keep his pledge, and had
not kept it at the time of his death.
ACCOUNTING FOR FACTS.
How do you account for the fact TN
YOU were known as Mrs. Henrietta HUI
bertY' the witness WAS asked.
II had never been known bv that name
until after the marriage. | took il because
the first name was my true name, aud the
second had the initial Of my husband
name, did il to protect my reputation"
How was your reputation endangered"
Because II was not known that l was
married, and that | might give q name to
my child"
Witness stated that she had two children
by Heydenfeldt ana that she mad married a
worthless fellow named Duydl because she
had heard that her husband was about to
be married to a daughter OF Judge Baldwin
She learned this from letter written TO a
friend of Heydenfeldt and in her distress
she married DuyaL
The further hearing Of the case went over
for one week
