HIS DIVORCED WIFE'S ACT.
Emma Dicks Father Contests His
Late Daughters Will.

William Dick, father of Mrs. Emma l..
Cowie, deceased. has filed contest in the
Probate Court asking that his daughters
will be not admitted to probate.
The contestant, who was not provided
for in the will. after objecting 20 the docu-
ment. on the ground of his daughters al
legged unsouDd mind at the time of its exc
cution, as we'll as on the ground that the
document itself is not properly subscribed
and executed according to the require
ments of the law, states that he Is now 66
years of age and is utterly unable TO work
to support himself. He complains that for
six years previous to his daughters death
she had allowed him S45 month to live
On and now he was deprived OF all support
whatsoever.
1t is alleged that the divorced wife of
the contestant is the cause of the contest
ant being left out of the will. 1t appears
that ten years ago Mrs. Sarah l.. Dick,
wife of the contestant, became estranged
from her husband, and eventually procured
divorce from him. Since then, it is al
legged, Mrs. Dick has maintained such vim
dlctlye feelings against her former hus-
band that she has blackened his character
TO his daughters. Emma, now deceased.
and Carrie, whom she took to live with her
after the divorce had been granted.
The complaint states that Mrs. Dick al
WAYS referred to the contestant as ga
gambler, prOfligate and drunkard," and
that In consequence it was easy to infiu-
eDce the mind of the deceased testatrix.
who was IN delicate health and of weak
mind, so that this alleged unfair will was
drawn up and executed. Mr.. Dick, there
lore, prayS that probate of the will be de-
nled and that he be granted such relief as
he would be otherwise entitled to from his
daughters estate.

CLARA MATHEWS.
Preliminary Trial of DIR.
Won Werthern.
The Evidence Will Also Apply to the
Case of DIR. Driscoil-Yester-
days Proceedings.

:. The preliminary examination of DR..
Joseph Won Werthern. charged with the
murder of Clara Mathews, was resumed
in. Judge Joachimsen's court at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
W. ). Eagar, a son of the keeper of the
City Cemetery, related the particulars Of
the disinterment of Clara Mathews body
from the Durying ground. lie was fol-
lowed on the stand by Deputy Coroner
Leon Jones, who had assisted in exhum-
ing the body and who was witness at the
autopsy which followed.
:. Evaline Charlesworth, lapdlady of the
house at S17 Mission street, where Clara
Mathews died, was called but was imme-
idiately excused, as she said she had never
seen DR.. Won Werthern at her house. She
was followed by Miss Ann Long. the
housekeeper at Miss Cbarlesworth's house.
She testified as to the arrival at her house
OF Won Werthern. Gray and Clara Mathews
and iden titled the instruments found by
her. in the room after the death of the
young woman and afterward given to
Detective Hogan.
- Olive Charles worth, sister of Evaline,
related what she knew of the events sur
rounding the death of Miss Mathews. Her
testimony was a corrobnration of what
had been said by Ann Long. The wit
ness identified the clothing belonging to
Clara Mathews, which was left at the
house where the young woman died.
=: DR.. r. j. OConnell. who assisted Coro-
her Hughes and DR.. A. p. O'Brien in per-
forming the autopsy, was put on the stand.
Attorney McPtke attempted to subject the
witness 10 the severe cross-examination
which had characterized the examination
OF DIR. OBrie8 on Tuesday afternoon. The
witness refused to testify to anything out
side of the autopsy and its results, claiming
he was not called az an expert, and
therefore he had right to refuse to give
expert testimony. Judge Joachmsen
ruled that the witness had right to re-
1use 10 answer all questions that had no
bearing on the performance of the autop psy
and the conclusions derived therefrom.
Detective Robert Hogan, who has col
iected the evidence for the prosecution
and: who first apprehended the three de-
tendants. was asked to tell what he knew
OF the case. He related the history OF the
case from the beginning and gave in detail

SIDE ENTRANCE ORDINANCE.
Chief Crowley Will Enforce 1t as
Soon as Officially Notified.

The passage of the ordinance providing
for the abolition of all ladies' and family
side entrances to saloons was subject for
favorable comment at police headquarters
yesterday.
Chief Crowley said that as soon as he
was officially notified of the passage of the
ordinance he would take prompt steps
looking to its provisions being strictly en-
forced. He could. of course, do nothing
until he received official notification.
There is a feeling that dvekeepers and
saloon-keepers will combine to adopt
means to evade its provisions by taking
out restaurant licenses and having the
words Entrance to Restaurant where
the words Ladies' Entrance" now are to
be seen. How far they can go in this di-
rection will. it is believed. form the sub
ject Of test case in the courts.

objection on the part Of his client. DIR.
West. who objected to his wife testifying
at this time.
The incident provoked quite sensa-
ton.
O'Keefe endeavored to ascertain whether
the woman was absolutely married TO DR..
West or not. Counsel Wilson objected
again and the couit said he thought from
the drift of the prosecutions questions il
doubted the gen lineness of her marriage
to DR.. West, on the score that DR.. West
had been previously married and that
this contract marriage was null and void.
The court finally ruled against the wit
ness being compelled to testify in this case
unless 1t was absolutely proved that she
was not married to DR.. West. The wit
ness, having stated 10 the court that she
knew DR.. West had not been married pre-
vI0usly to any one. was withdrawn.
The prosecution here rested.
Attorney Wilson then stated that the
defense claimed that there wasn0 eviden ce
to make DIR. West responsible for the death
of Ada r. Giimour. The testimony showed
that she had come to her death by the OPP
Grafton OF others. He then made the an
nouncement that the defense had no testi-
mony to bring. and said in reply to the
court that this ann Oun cement was of the
nature of motion to dismiss.
The Court-The motion is denied.
The defense-Then we rest. if your
Honor please.
The court said this was most peculiar
case. Sitting as committing magistrate
the courts first duty was to ascertain
whether or not a crime, that of muf- =
der had been committed. He found that
murder, atrocious, inhuman, devilish, had
been committed.
The next point was whether there was
reasonable cause to believe that the defend
ant at the bar had committed the crime.
"All the testimony has been straightfo r
ward and direct. There has been no fluc-
tuating at all" The court then reviewed
the testimony 1t had been conclusively
proved that the unfortunate woman had
visited DR.. Vests house and had died
there. The conduct of Dr. West as evil
dencing consciousness of guilt had been
clearly shown, even by a very unwilling
witness. Miss May Howard. The court
said her action was the meanest and most
despicable thing he had ever heard of in
his life.
Mrs. Austin's and Mr. Gilmour's state
ment that the head at Lime Point was by
the doctors admission that of Miss Gill
mour was also a very strong point.

West tn prove his innocence before a jury
of his peers, and l now hold him without

The court steadfasily refused to assume
the responsibility of setting bail and the
prisoner was removed to the tanks.
DR.. West was driven to The County Jail

graphed. Mrs. Annie West called al
police headquarters and asked for a permit
from Chief Crowley to see her husband
but the Chief told her she would in future
have to call at the County Jail. and re-
marked sotto voce, "and l am glad to get
rid of him."

they went before magistrate with their
