Public concerts owe their direct en-
enlargement to John Banister, who had
Won fame by his playing on the violin,
and who succeeded the celebrated Bait
Ear as leader OF Charles LIS band of "A
violins. Pepys, in an entry in his dairy
for February, 1867, tells us the court Cos
sip of the day-''how the kings vialiln
Banlster is mad that the king hath a
Freuchman come to be chief of some
part of the kings musique."
1t was rumored that he was dismissed
from the royal service for saying English
violins were better than the French, IA
statement which was no doubt regarded
as heretical, opposed as 1t was to the pre-
vailing court view as to the superiority
of France in all questions of taste, and
especially with regard To music.
Banister's concerts at the close of the
year 1872 were advertised i'll the London
Gazette as follows: These are to give
notice that at NJ. John Banister's house

this time as Il rule u shilling, and these
concerts seem u have been held pretty

MOXLEY'S WIDOWS
Their Claims Presented
to Judge Hebbard.
One Widows Claim Objected To Be-
cause She Had Been Silent for
Forty-Fo Years.

Judge Hebbard had some interesting ar
gument to listen to in the Moxley case yes
terday
John S. Monkey died here in September,
1892, leaving an estate worth about
100000, mostly in real estate IN this city.
He left the whole of his property TO his
presumed widow. Mrs. Elizabeth w. 81.
Monkey. She filed a will showing these
facts, VIXEN of a sudden there appeared a
claimant upon the scene. Another Mrs.
Monkey arrived and set up claim to the
property. She stated that she hailed from
Baltimore, where Moxley had married her
in 1849. They had never been divorced,
and so the Baltimore Mrs. Monkey claimed
that she was entitled to the estate.
On the other hand the San Francisco
Mrs. Monkey had to say that she lived with
MOxley as his wife from the time he left
Baltimore for the goldfelds of California
up to the time of his death. During all
this time he had accumulated fortune,
and she had helped him to make it. So
this particular Mrs. Monkey regards her
late hus bands fortune as community prop
ertY and insists that her claim is just. In
order to further c0mpicste matters, both
of Monkeys widows rejoice in the name of
A demurrer was interposed to the Balti-
more Mrs. Monkeys suit on several
grounds. One was that the action was
barred by sections 33S and $40 of the Code
of Civil Procedure; another, that the
cause of action had lapsed with the passing
of time, and is not equitable; that the
complaint did not show where the Balti-
more lady had lived since her alleged mar
Iiage. nor whether they ever lived together
as husband and wife, nor why she waited
forty-four years before asserting her
claims. nor that she in any way contributed
to the accumulation of the ortune which
Monkey left behind him.
The demurrer in question was argued
with great spirit yesterday, and finally
taken under Amusement by Judge Hen
bard. Attorneys A. Comte Jr. and DR.. E.
r. Taylor argued the demurrer, and from
the nature of remarks that passed from the
bench it would seem that the demurrer
would be successful.

FREEHOLDERS WILL TEST II
The Question of Expenses Is
Already Raised.
A TANGLE IN EVERY WAY.
Incoming Supervisors and Mayor
Elect Sutro Invited to Be With
Them Next Time.

The Freehoders met for organization
yesterday afternoon in the Mayors office
and took the first steps toward entering
upon their duties. That is they began
proceedings looking toward test of their
right to do so.
l. w. Hellman was present, not only
with his certificate of election but a COM
munlcation from his attorney, BENJAMIN
f. Bergen, in which he is advised to take
his seat as member of the board and full
fill the duties of the Office to which he had
been elected. Mr.. Bergen holds in his
typewriter advice. given at the soicita
ton of Mr. Hellman, that that gentleman
is in honor bound to act with the board
He says that the law requires that fifteen
Freeholders be elected. that so far as any
bodylknows fifteen were elected and that he
should not retire. thus invaldating the
work OF the board should it proceed with
out him. He says that he (Hellmsu) is a
lawful member of the board until the
court decides that he is not. and this deci-
sion cannot be brought out except through
the Attorney General of the State bringing
the matter before the Supreme Court, and
this he can only do upon the petition of
citizens. Therefore. the paper concludes,
Mr.. Hellman is 10 honor bound TO serve
until so enjoined by the court.
In the first place the meeting was or
gained by the election Of Joseph Britain
as chairman and /. j. Truman as secre-
tary. All the members were present ex-
cent Gustav Il. Umbsen.
Upon motion of w. b. Bourn a committee
OF three was appointed to consider what
steps should be taken to thoroughly eStab-
llSh the status of the board. Messrs.
Henry n. Clement. William +. Gibson and
w. b. Bourn were appointed as such COM
mlttee, and 1t was decided that the board
would assume the expense of this proceed
ing. For the present the committee Will
simply consult with others and each other
and report conclusions at their meeting
next Wednesday. Messrs. Clement and
Gibson being lawyers themselves, they
will find their interest and calling going
hand in hand. City Attorney Creswell,
who was present, expressed q willingness
to render any service 10 the board ia the
capacity of a citizen or as attorney for the
city and county.
The question of how shall the expenses
of the work of preparing a new charter be
betrayed was discussed at length
Colin III. Boyd stated that the last Board
OF Freeholders brought suit against the
city for their claim, which reached the sum
or $4,000, and that the Supervisors, by
recommendation of the Finance Commit
tee, confessed Judgment.
George L. Marye suggested that this
plan might be adopted again.
Upon motion of Stewart MenZies the iD-
coming Board OF Supervisors and Mayor
elect SuIrO will be invited TO meet with the
board next Wednesday at P. NJ, TO which
time the board adjourned.

A Jury to Be Released From Purga.
tory To-Day.
The contest over the will of the late
Joshua Hendy will be concluded to-day.
The arguments are over and this morning
Judge Coffey will instruct the jury.
1t has been siDgularly interesting trial
from beginning to end. Lasting over
many weeks. there has been nothing to
interest anybody outside of those directly
connected with the case. The whole
affair hinges on the sanity or insanity of
Joshua Hendy as shown by witnesses on
either side. The testimony closed on
Thursday evening, and Guy Earl made the
opening argument to show that Hendy
was insane when he made a will leaving
ali his properly. 5000 or whereabouts,
to two uephews ana niece. to the exclu-
sion of ali the other nephews and nIeces
who claimed an equal share in Hendy's
affections and his purse.
The speeches in support Of the will were
made by Aylett X. Cotton and General W
Ii. L. Barnes. Both secuted the idea of
Hendys insanity. and when they had got
through Attorney Charles Wheeler closed
the case on behalf of the contestants.
This morning the jury will have the task
of deciding which side is TO be believed.

the check books of the bank. Ia one case
the cash item was $4,000, and in the other
$45, 900 was involved.
The testimony of the bank officials was
taken, and some other evidence not dis
similar from that which was taken at the
trial of the defendant for felony, a charge
which is still pending. After hearing the
evidence Judge Joachimsen held Flood to
answer before the Superior Court. He
said regarding the bail that considering
the fact that Flood was already under
$4,000 bonds he would not make the bail
excessive in these two cases. He therefore
fixed it at $1,000 in one case and $1,000 In the

A Youthful Burglar Who Could Not
Stand His Trial.

W. OIL cary, youthful burglar, was
placed on trial before Judge Belcher and
jury yesterday, but his conscience cried
out against him and be shrked the ord cal.
His conduct caused quite a scene in court.
The jury had just been impaneled and
the first witness was on the stand when
OLeary stood up pale and trembling, and
interfered. "You need not go on with
this" he said. ''I'm guilty. l did 1t ALL"
DO you know what you are saying? ?"
asked Judge Belcher.
Il do. I'm gully of the charge" replied
the boy.
Judge Belcher was completely taken
aback and suggested to O'Leary that he
bad better allow twelve men to pass upon
the question OF his guilt or innocence
But O'Leary stood firm, and so in accord
ance with his wish a plea of guilty of
burglary in the second degree was entered
against HIM. Judge Belcher then dis
charged the jury.
