two young ladies to room 2. They
wanted some drinks, and the defendant
took them the drinks.
"At no other time before the murder
was discovered did l 20 back again to
the rear rooms that night" said the
witness.
Continuing, he said that there was an
unusually large crowd of customers pres
emit in the saloon that night, and some
one had to be behind the bar all the
time. He said he wore an. apron and
waited on customers. John Wooley
usually waited on customers who came
into the wine rooms.
With reference to the blacksmith's
hammer found behind the bar, the de-
fendant frankly admitted that three
weeks before the murder man named
Hall left 1t in the saloon with the de-
fendant, saying he had brought it from
the shop with him and was not ready to
go home. He never called for the ham,
mer. The defendant said he had tried
to find him, but had not been able to do
30.
The hammer was used before the
murder to tack down some carpet about
the bar. 1t was kept in the locker
where damp towels were thrown.
Room A, adjoining the one in which
the murder Was committed, was not
used, and only the other three rooms
were furnished. 1
miller came into the saloon at 6
O'Clock, !" said the defendant, when
came on watch. He was pretty full at
the time, and told him he had better
go and take nap. He said something
about having been robbed, and also said
he guessed he would go home. / told
him before this that he had better leave
his money in the safe. He went out,
but came back soon and pulled out his
money. 1t was check and some bills.
He handed them to me to take care of,
and called several men to witness the
matter. Miller had already said he had
been robbed, and when he woke up
thought he might not believe all the
money had been returned to him.
Later in the evening Wooley came to
the bar and asked If Miller had his
money on his person. l told him it was
in the safe. Wooley remarked that he
would shut the door of the room any
how. At nearly II O'Clock / told Wooley
to 60 and wake Miller, and he returned
with the news that some one had killed
him."
The defendant said that as soon as he
heard it he ordered the players at the
billiard tables to stop playing and to
have the covers put on the tables. The
room in which the body was lying was

the HUNT ESTATE.
Judge CLARK Delivers an Opinion x,
terday.

Judge CLARK Delivers an Opinion Yes
terdsy.
Yesterday Judge Clark rendered de-
cision in probate case which involved
some interesting points in the DISPOSE
ton of estates, and in which he dis
cuased them at some length.
The case arose over petition for the
distribution of the estate of J. B. Hunt
who executed his will June 6, 1889, and
by its terms devised an bequeathed al
of his property to dis wife.
At the date of the execution of the
will there were living three children oil
said testator, viz: Anna III. Cochran,
Samuel B. Hunt and john N. Hunt,
neither of whom are mentioned or pro-
vided for in the will. After its execu-
ton and prior to the death of the testa-
tor one Of the children, the son Samuel
B., died, leaving surviving him son,
Randolph Hunt, grandson OF de-
ceased, and he also is not provided for
bv. or mentioned in, the will, and the
question is whether or not he is entitled
to succeed to any portion OF said estate.
After discussing the question, Judge
Clark says in his opinion:
The boy Randolph Hunt was not on
June 6. 1889, the date of the publication
of the will, presumptive heir of dece-
dent. and it cannot be presumed that
the omission OF decedent to name him
in his will was an oversight. He had
then no need to mention him in order to
prevent him from inheriting as heir at
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1893-05-10

law. His omission to name his three
children, including the father OF contest
ant, must be presumed to have been an
oversight, and had the father been liv-
ing at the time of decedent's death the
latter would, as TO all three Of these
children, have died intestate. Is the
boy Randolph entitled to have distrib-
uted to him that portion of decedent's
estate that his father would have been
entitled to had he survived
After still further investigation OF the
law the court concludes
III the boy Randolph takes at all he
must take as the heir OF his grandfather,
the testator, after q finding that the
testator died interstate as to him. Such
finding could only be based upon the
fiction that the omission to name him
was unintentional; and as said in re
Barter, supra, it cannot be presumed
that the omission of testator to name
any person in his will was an oversight,
unless the person whose name was so
omitted was at the time q presumptive
heir at law, as child or the issue of q
then deceased child. | am of opinion
that, as to the contestant, the decedent
died intestate, and as the children, Anna
M. Cochran and John N. Hunt. have
conveyed ell of their interest in the es-
tate to the surviving wife of decedent,
she is entitled to have the whole estate
distributed TO her,

THOSE WHO HANDLE THE DEAD.
California Funeral Directors in
Annual Session.
Nearly Two Hundred Delegates From
All Over California.
President Fl. b. McAvoy Addresses the
Association and Refers to the
Beauty and Growth OF
Les Angeles.

The annual meeting of the California
State Funeral Directors association wac
convened in this city yesterday. with
about 200 delegates present from differ
ent parts of the state. The association
has been formed for some time, and it's
membership includes nearly all OF the
undertakers in California. The object
for which the organization was perfect
ed was in no sense to regulate fees and
prices, but rather for purposes of educs-
ton and general advancement. In other
words the association is in no way an
"undertakers' trust"
President H. B. McAvoy arrived from
San Francisco, yesterday morning. He
is fat, jolly, genial gentleman, and the
last man in the world one would take to
be engaged in the calling he is. Presi-
dent McAvoy had not seen Los Angeles
for some years, and was greatly sur
prised at the remarkable growth of the
city.
The secretary of the association is W.
D. Martin and the treasurer is 8. p.

to a large majority OF those in the
smaller towns of this state, and to those
members of the senate and assembly
who stood by us, and to the California
Casket company, which company did
everything in its power in our behalf.
A copy of the bill, as amended by the
hospital committee OF the senate, is
herewith submitted. Had the original
bill been introduced In this form l am
convinced that it would have passed
both houses and would now be the law
OF the stats 1t is my impression that,
after carefully reading this bill, you will
all approve it, and should this be the
case, it can be submitted to the next
legislature and will no doubt become
law. 1t has been stated by some few
persons that this bill, and our organize-
ton as we'll, is in the interest of some
trust or combination. In fact, disre-
garding the truth, men in different parts
of the state have made it their stock in
trade to pretend to attack something
which does not exist except in the i'm
agination of the inventors. With this
in view, it should be our desire to give
the widest publicity to our proceedings
and to the provisions of this measure
advocated by us. 1t will thus be shown
that while working for your advance.
ment and elevation you are at the same
time working for the protection Of the
interests and OF the health of the pub
lie at large. In connection with these
statements, would call your attention
to the fact that our association has been
called trust, formed for the purpose of
keeping up prices and to state that it
would be we'll that some action be taken
to place the truth before the public. AS
matter of fact, the international Fun
eral Directors association, of which this
body is q member in good standing.
while in convention assembled at Omaha
in October, 1890, passed a resolution
absolutely prohibiting any state or
local association from formulating or
issuing any price list whatever. In this
matter OF fair dealing and honesty the
public in our vocation will have to de-
pend upon the standing and integrity Of
the individual member.
My excuse for devoting 80 much time
to this subject can be found in the fact
that interruptions and designing persons
have endeavored to place our association
in false position before the public, and
that have felt that it is our duty to
ourselves and to the public to make
statement of the facts, with the sug-
gestion that you take such action IS you
deem proper and justified under the cir
cumstances.
The reports OF the secretary and treas
urer were then read. They were purely
of a financial character. Ali reports
were referred to committees appointed
to consider them.
