muir to the contest, or falling to demur may
make answer, jointly or separately, to our
grounds of opposition. When they do file their
answers the law provides that any issues of fact
thus raised must, on request of either party in
writing filed three days prior to the day set for
hearing, be tried by jury.
We viii file our contest on Monday just as
soon as the court settles on which copy it will
accept. The court will then allow to everybody
interested in the estate time to answer our con-
test. That will necessarily postpone indefi-
nltely the hearing OF the probate of the will
until such time as the court shall set for the
trial OF the contest, which time cannot be
set by the court until all of the answers to the
contest have been filed.
1t is not known how the other parties in
terested will act III regard to the contest of
Charles Fair. 1t is not likely that the Fair
girls will fight the contest very hard as
they are also restrained by the forfeit
ure clause. What benefits Charles will also
benefit his sisters.
There is considerable interest manifest
by the public as to whether Charles Fair
intends to endeavor to defeat any of the just
and natural legacies which his father has
provided for. 1t is stated on good author
ity that he will not attempt to take any
thing from the relatives or charitable be-
quests as given by the will. The result
may be a combination between all the
legatees by which the contest will be
favored and if Charles Fair wins all the
legatees will receive exactly what they are
given by the will. Charles Fair will be the
gamer to the extent of Kidding himself of
the many restrictions placed upon him.

and that this is merely carrying out the
threat sent him that unless the $5-a-head
proposition was accepted they would run
right over the graves"
On the other hand, Mr.. Sutro's engineers
declare there are no graves where the road
that they could distinguish; neither, they
say, were there any fences other than a
few old stakes, as the place had been al
lowed to fall into decay. They all believe
1t is simply an attempt to scotch the old
man for few dollars.
Mr.. Samuels, speaking about the matter
yesterday, said: 81 have danced attend
al anee upon the Mayor as long as I'm going
to In this matter. His last threat is that
he would open up the streets occupied by
the cemetery. The fact is, that can't be
done by anybody short of Congress. Not
only were the limits of the cemetery fixed
by the City Council, and the Legislature,
too, believe, but were confirmed by Con-
gress, and only Congress, therefore, can
change them.'
Suit was begun yesterday by G. L. Pat
ton, who represents the association, and
Judge Slack granted a temporary restrain
ing order, pending a hearing.
The law in the matter is plain. Section
296 of the Penal Code, relating to defacing
tombs and monuments, provides:
Every person who willfully and maliciously
defaces, breaks or removes any tomb, monu-
ment or gravestone erected to any deceased
person or any memento or memorial or any
ornamental plant, tree or shrub appertaining
to the place OF burial of human being, or who
shall mark, deface, injure, destroy or remove
any fence, post, rail or wall of any cemetery is
guilty of misdemeanor.
In 1884 the municipality granted to the
association permission to bury in the City
Cemetery, and set apart for its use field
of about two or three acres. This was
thoroughly fenced in, and has been used
by the association ever since. The portion
of that tract which is affected by the pres
ent proceedings is officially described as
block of section of Golden Gate Gene
terry, and is known as the Bureau of Re-

lief Plat. 1t contains twelve bodies, which
have been underground for four or five
years. The last one to be placed there was
taat of James Kirby, whose widow now
resides at 718 Natoma street. Naturally
enough she too objects to the disturbance
o her loved ones grave.
When Mayor Sutro was asked about the
matter late last night he said:
The Supervisors ordered Clement street
paved some weeks ago, and the cemetery
people had no right to have the fence
there, and indeed the fence had been re-
moved. When the building operations on
the line of the road reached that place the
people who pretended to control the grave
yard asked an exorbitant price for remov-
ing the bodies said to be there, and | re-
fused to pay it. They talk something
about the tracks being laid over the graves.
Now | am informed that there are no
graves there-that the nearest is several
feet away.
I'VE were served with a restraining
order to-day; but it was little tardy, in
asmuch as the tracks were already laid
across the corner in dispute. The work is
done and the restraining order is of no
effect. There will be no trouble, as the
whole thing is over"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-17

ought to be alike, but said they were not,
ana IN some respects there were several
important discrepancies. Inasmuch as
there are only two certified copies IN ex-
lstence, and these differ, the attorneys for
some of the heirs claim there will be some
trouble for the court to determine which
one, If either of the papers is the correct
one. In the fifteenth clause the will reads:
I'm case either of my daughters die, leav-
ing no children or descendants, the one
fourth part of said trust property and es-
tate herein directed to be transferred and
conveyed to her children and descendants
shall be transferred and conveyed to the
children or descendants of my other
daughter, and if there be none the same
shall be transferred and conveyed to my
brothers and sisters and to the children of
my deceased brothers and sisters by right
of representation as aforesaid"
In the copy Haley holds the reading is
as above given In the one which Pierson
and Mitchell desire to have filed as copy
of the will, instead of the word my" be-
fore the word deceased the word ANY"
is placed. This, Attorney Wheeler claimed,
makes great deal of difference. The
other discrepancies are of small words,
which in themselves have no significance,
but are found in one copy and do not exist
in the other.
Judge Slack decided to continue the case
ulltll MOnQdy, WIFI Une UNDERSTANDING tudG
no further continuance will be granted.
The attorneys agreed to this.
Attorney Heggarty was seen after the
court adjourned. He said:
We were not ready to proceed on our part as
on Monday we have assured the court we will
file contest of the will for Charles Fair, which
we will do AS soon as contest is filed the law
requires us to serve copies of it on the petit
TONERS for the probate of the will, and on other
residents of the county who are interested in
the estate. Any one or more of these may de-
