MATTHEW CROOKS ESTATE
Mrs, Susan Smiths Suit Is Not
Antagonistic to the
Contest.
The Heirs Are Willing to Give Her a
Ninth Share to Hasten the
Distribution.

Another interesting phase Of the
Matthew and Susan Crooks estate, con-
corning which THE CALL had an exclusive
account Sunday morning, was developed
yesterday.
1t seems that the amended cross COM
plant of Mrs. Susan Smith, the wife of
the Santa Cruz capitalist, and the contest
of the will of Susan Crooks are not antag-
onistic. The charges made by Mrs. Smith
in her complaint-or at least some of them
are borne out by the allegations con-
tanned in the complaint of the contestant.
Mrs. Smith was overlooked by her mother,
for the reason, as set forth in the latter's
will ,gthat she had married a wealthy man.
While both sides are contending for the
same obiect-the speedy distribution of
the estate-there is only one difference.
Mrs. Smith seeks to have all prior account
ings set aside, and the contestant, Samuel
Crooks, wants the will broken.
According to Attorney M. G. Hassett,
the setting aside of the will is calculated to
bring about speedier distribution of the
property of the estate than would the de-
claring of the settlement of Mrs. Smith
and mother null and void. In other
words, by breaking the will the prop
erty of Susan Crooks indivual estate would
estate, and the heirs, including Mrs.
Smith, who was left out of her mothers
will, would the quicker come into their
each one-ninth share of the property.
The petition for the revocation of the
will alleges the usual statutory grounds,
that the testatrix was not of sound and
disposing mind, and that she was unduly
influenced. Under the twenty-first clause
of her will she bequeaths five-eighths of
OF
to Mrs. ]. Morffew, Colonel Newton, Stone
wall Jackson Crooks, Jonathan ]. Crooks
and Ida Olivia Hodgden. The remaining
three-eighths OF the estate is devised to
Jonathan J. Crooks, in trust for Samuel
Matthew and Robert Crooks and their
children.
Mr.. Hassett who is conducting the con-
testiitigation, says his client is not wholly
selfish in the contest and admits the
injustice done by his mother to Mrs.
Smith, his sister. II the will is set aside
she will receive one-ninth of the property,
the same as she did of the trust property
under her fathers will. Mrs. Smith has
not hesitated in the choice of phrases in
speaking of the manner in which her
mother induced her to sign a release or
settlement The inference of fraud is
broad. But Mr., Hassett says it seems to
be the desire of nearly all the heirs that
the estate should be equally distributed
between the children, so that harmony
may be preserved and to obviate the I'M
pleasant exposure which would necessarily
result from going into the long and
troublesome trust-accounting concerning
the income received by their mother, and
involving hundreds of thousands of dol
lars during the last fifteen years.
1t is thought by some of the attorneys in
the case that the trust provision is void
under the late decision of Supreme Judge
HenshaW il the W. WalkerleY estate.

LOFDAHL'S DILEMMA.
He May Have to Go to Jail If He
Marries and Will Have to If
He Don't.

John Lofdahl will have to go to Jail for
breach OF promise if he does not marry
Amelia Johnson, and if he does marry
her he may have to go to Jail for blgamy.
1t was on this basis that the man figured
his chances in Judge Belcher's court. He
concluded that it would not be wise to
complicate matters by having two wives at
once, so he stands convicted for violating
the promise that would have made him a
bigamist.
Lofdahl and Miss Johnson are from
Sweden. The woman is 80 years old, and
the man is older than that. They became
acquainted year ago, and have been en-
gagged for several months.
Lofdahl testified at the trial that he had
intended to marry Miss Johnson and that
he was still willing to carry out his prom
Use, but that there was some uncertainty
about the existence of a wife whom he left
in Sweden seven years ago. He has heard
nothing from his wife since the departure
from Sweden, and brother wrote that she
was dead.
Yet, no proof had been obtained of the
death, and Lofdahl was not free to marry
again.
The jury found him guilty of wronging
the woman whom he had promised to
marry here, but a chance to settle the mat
ter by matrimony may be given if the
death certificate can be obtained from
Sweden.
Lofdahl and Miss Johnson were affec-
tlonate In their manner toward each other
IN court, though the woman was the prose-
cutting witness. They clasped hands when
the verdict was pronounced, and the
woman wept.
Lofdahl is employed at the Union Iron
Works.
