Judge Coffey Is now hearing the other
side of the Mcdonald case.
The principal Of the school which the
claimant attended at the Potrero has testi-
fed that the alleged heir was known as Nc
Gregor, the name Of his grandmother, while
he attended that institution Of learning.
Mrs. Rose Williams, the sister of Captain
Mcdonald, was on tie stand and testified
that she never saw the claimant visit her
relative. The Captain told her that he had
no children and wanted to adopt her daugh-
ter. She declared that she obtained for
him the room which the Captain occupied
on LeideSdoIf street. and although she Wis
tied frequently had never seen a picture of
Claude Lee or the claimant on its walls
This was a fat contradiction Of testimony
given for the claimant
