HER DEAD SISTERS NAME.
Esther Mclean, on Trial for Forgery,
Has Her Bail Reduced.

The preliminary examination of Esther
Mclean on the charges of falsely PERSONAL
ing her dead sister. Eliza Wilson (nee Nc
Lean, and forging her name at the Hiberna
Bank for S1015 81. was commenced In Judge
Conlan's court yesterday morning
The testimony was very conflicting, but
tended to show that Esther and Eliza Me-
Lean, before the latter's marriage had put
their income received from Ireland in bank
as joint account. 1t was also proven that
Wilson, who married Eliza Mclean, fur
nished her with considerable money, Que
item being $500, with which she purchased
the lodging house at 54l Fourth street,
which she and her husband kept at the
time OF her death. Several of the witnesses
for the defense did some remarkably hard
swearing"
After considering the case Judge Conlan
granted motion 10 reduce the bail from
$1,000 TO $4,000 and continued the hearing
until next Saturday. Miss Esther Mclean
did not give the bail but returned TO the
City Prison.
In The courtroom she wore her famous red
wig and appeared to look upon the proceed
ings in the light of a huge joke, but when
returned TO the prison she ragged as only q
mad woman can rage.
Tho bank claims that no matter whether
the account was jointly owned by both
sisters or not Miss Esther Mclean had no
right TO personate her dead sister or forge
her name.

such an operation was excruciating in the

but when the poor little fellow cried out
with pain as Gsserng. the stepfather, bent
his arm he was whipped with strap with
a buckle on it.
When at last the nelghbors notified the
authorities and the case was investigated
he boys body was found mass of bruises
and he was willing to 90 anywhere to escape
from his stepfatner. The child was taken
10 the Boys and Girls Aid Society and
when brought into court exhibited the most
abject fear Of Gissering.
The child admitted that he had lied to his
stepfather. had run away from home. had
done everything that in his childish mind
be thought could IN any way keep him
out Of the clutches of the stepfather, but
with tears in his eyes he little fellow told
how he had been tieG down to the floor with
stick between his arms and another be-

keep him from screaming.
Judge Campbell didn't ponder long over
