ORR. G.L. GAEDEkE ACCUSED.
Mr.. Kugler's Relatives Say She
Was Unduly Influenced.
The Physician Denies that lie Is q
Professional Beneficiary.

The relatives of the late Mrs. Kuni-
gunda kuglei. who died April 10 last.
leaving the bulk OF her small estate to
DR.. j. G. l.. Gaedeke. OF 800 Second ave-
rue. have decided to contest the will
upon the ground that DR.. Gaedeke exer-
cised an undue influence over the tesla
tor.
The contestants are Mrs. Joanna
Strong. Of Milwaukee, Wis, and Mrs.
Walpurga Notter. of III Leonard street,
Jersey City.
Testimony In the contest will probably
be heard by the Surrogate next month
Besides the allegat ton of undue influence
on DR.. Gaedeke's part. It will be charged
that this Is not the first instance in
which the doctor has inherited under the
Will OF patient over whom, 1t Is alleged,
he exerted an extraordinary influence.
Mrs. Notter, speaking OF the coming
contest. said that Mr.. Kugler her sis
ter's husband, died Jan. 7, 1893, leaving
an insurance policy for 5000 on his life
In society Of which DR.. Gaedeke is a
member.
After that Mrs. Kugler lived for a time
with Mrs. Notter in Jersey City. but the
latter charges that the doctor induced
her to return TO this city to live. Mrs.
ANotteI says tIldt bne frequently wrote
to her sister after her return to this city,
but received no reply.
After Mrs. kugler died Mrs. Notter
alleges, DR.. Gaedeke produced a will.
which named him as executor OF the estate
and left him all the estate except be-
guests Of 500 each to the testatrix's two
sisters and a niece.
Mrs. Notter also alleges that after the
death of Miss Elizabeth g. Koetter. who,
II Is claimed DR., Gaedeke induced to
a very similar will was produced by the
doctor. in which he was named as execu-
tor and received the bulk OF the estate.
DR.. Gaedeke emphatically denies the
charges Of undue influence. and says
that In both cases the amounts left him
by his patients were not more than
enough to cover his fees.
He denies having induced Mrs. Kugler
to leave her rel Il, - Jersey City, but
f cont an' one OF them because
He says that .d.s. .>dgler's husband
was a friend of his, and that since Mr..
Kugler died he had attended her with
out charges and he thinks II but natural
that the money was left to him..

complained that as they were walking

lying on a bench, made some insulting
remarks to them.
The officer saw that the girls were al
most hysterical, and after calming their
fears he requested them to walk ahead
and point out their insulters. The girls
did SO. and soon reached the young men,
who on catching sight Of the girls and
the officer sprang to their feet. Before

cape the Death Chair.
Giuseppe Contantino, the young boot
black. who murdered his sweetheart and
shot himself last week, and who was
believed to be in no danger, Is dying in
Bellevue Hospital.
Yesterday afternoon he was subjected
to an interesting and difficult operation
by DR.. w. Ayres, the house sugeon, and
his assistants.
The self-delivered bullet struck Con-
tantino in the throat just below the
Adams apple" and took a range up
ward and to the left. Probing was too
dangerous, and 1t was hoped that the
ball had passed into his mouth and been
spat out.
AS time passed, the patient developed
symptoms of fracture of the base of the
skull, and from certain indications OF
was forming in the brain over the mo-
tor area, lyire on the left side Of the
head, just above the ear.
The delicate operation of trepanning
was performed at that point yesterday.
The surgeons we're disappointed in Their
assumption, as there was no abscess.. 1t
which lies at the base Of the brain sur,
rounded with large clot. The wound
was closed up and Contantino returned
to the prison ward. DR.. Ayres says he
does not expect Contantino to live forty.
eight hours.
The mans fate in this manner proba-
bly, rescues him from the chair of exc
cution, as his crime was committed with
generalization and elaboration. His
motive seems to have been dependency
over his financial troubles and the dread
OF losing thereby his fiancee, to whom
he was to have been married Christmas
next.
The girl was Carmella Belfast, fifteen
years old, living with her parents at 1888

who is nineteen years old, called upon
