CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-At the main en-
trance to the court house today, in view
of hundreds of people, Samuel Baxter
Foster, attorney for the Grand Trunk
railway, was assaulted and knocked
senseless by Philip Wood, a Texan.
Foster is executor of the estate of AlonZo
c. Wood, and the Texan is one of the
contestants of the will, which leaves an
estate valued at nearly 100000 exclu-
sively to the grandchildren of the de-
ceased. Philip Wood and other relatives
filed a bill to set aside the will. alleging
that Foster had exercised undue influ
ence over the matter of the will.
Attorney Foster filed a demurrer to
the bill, and when the matter was
heard before Judge .Tuley few days
ago, the demurrer was sustained and
permission given to file an amended
bill. This. it is alleged, angered Wood,
and it is said that he threatened to kill
Foster and others connected with the
case if they did not withdraw. 1t is al
legged that
wood Visited Foster
and offered him $4,000 to withdraw
from the case, which Foster declined.
At the time Of the striking the blow,
it is alleged, Wood said: Now Pll kill
you. - you," at the same time
making a move toward his hip pocket.
A number of witnesses to the assault
promptly sprang between the PROSTATE
attorney and his assailant. Mr.. Foster
was assisted to his feet, while a stream
of blood flowed from gosh in his tenn
pie. Upon searching Wood a loaded re-
volver was found in his pocket. He re-
fused to make any statement, and was
locked up.
1.-The assault" said Attorney Foster,
"grows out of the litigation over the
AlonZo c. Wood estate. Saturday mes
SengeI from the heirs called at the office
of Theodore +. Lawrence, who is as
soclated with me in the management of
the estate, and offered us $4,000 to re-
sign as executors. He refused, and the
messenger threatened to kill him and
me unless we retired | ain going to
stick to my position. and the only way
the heirs can remove me is to get me off
the earth"
The attorney subsequently applied for
permission from the authorities to arm
himself.
