He Brought Ills Bad OFF Eye to Bear on
Ruffiu Robinson's Wife.
Rufin Robinson has always been known as
a hard-working colored man, and happiness
ruled supreme in his little home, No. 1643
Eleventh street, until Solomon Motion came
along and fastened his attentions on eomely,
brown-skinned Mrs. Robinson.
Solomon was known to the denfzens OF
''the camp" that long stretch OF shanties be-
yond the boundary and Seventh street, as a
man with "bad-of eve. That is to say he
was reported to be magnetic and could put a
spell on person, if he so desired.
He succeeded. according to KUHN Robin
son. in setting pretty strong current OF per-
sonal electricity to circulate through Ruffin' s
wife, and when the spell was on, caused her
10 elope with him.
To take Rufins wife was bad enough, but
when he discovered that S45, representing his
hard-earned savings, had also disappeared at
the same time. the forsaken husband became
as angry as a disturbed hornet.
He at once procured warrant for Solomon
Motions arrest and placed it in the hands of
Precinct Detective Barnes, OF the Second.
This sleuth was untiung in his efforts and
kept Solomons trail hot until yesterday,
when he laid the heavy hand of the law upon
him, and locked the truant in a cell in No.
station.
The magnetized wife has not yet been
found, although her husband is looking high
and low for her. Solomon in his own de-
tense, declares that the wife took the S45,
and as, according TO law, it was her hus-
band money, there can be no Iarcenv. The
case VIII come before Judge Miller to-day.

WHO ARE THE HEIRS
Alleged That Curtis E. Robinson Had
Two Wives and Two Families.
Both Want His Money.

Chicago, November 12.-The friends
Of the late Curtis e. Robinson, formerly
a prominent real estate dealer Of this
city, and who died in 1892, were
amazed to learn to-day that he is
charged with deserving a wife in Mas
sachusetts, in the early sixties, when lie
came to Chicago, and his three chill
dren are probably surprised to find their
right to Inheritance challenged by their
Massachusetts relatives. At the time Of
his death Robinson lived with his three
children, Mrs. Martha J. Ruprecht,
Curtis Z. Robinson and Bessie d. Rob
insOn.
After his death his daughter, Mrs.
Ruprecht, was made administrators Of
the estate, which is represented to be
worth about S1,000,000.
To-day a bill was filed in the United
States Circuit Court by Robinson's
brother David, his sister, Betsy Eames,
and four nieces, children of his dead
sister and brother, all residing in Mas
sachusetts, and who set up the claim
that Curtis =. Robinson left a wife be-
hind him in Massachusetts, and was
never married TO his Chicago wife. and
the three children having been born
out of wedlock, are not heirs to the
estate of Curtis Z. Robinson, but that
the same belongs to his Massachusetts
relatives

VINSON ON TRIAL.
A Jury Secured and the Opening
Statements Made---What They Say
They VIII Prove.

Special to the Register
Huntington, W. Va, November 12.-
Long before the hour for court to open
this morning the court room was
crowded to its fullest capacity with wit
nesses in the Vinson murder case and
anxious spectators.
After the jury was impaneled the
prosecuting attorney addressed them,
and made a plain, forcible presentation
OF what the State expects TO prove. He
stated that on September 4, last year,
James FriZzell was shot down and kill
ed at a political meeting and that S. S.
Ninson fired the shot. He concluded by
saying: I'VE intend giving the prisoner
at the bar a fair and impartial trial, let
chips fall where they may"
Judge Holt then made the statement
in behalf Of the prisoner He said the
case was the most important in the
States history, and pleaded with the
jury to obey the golden rule. do unto
this old man, ETC." He described the
fight between the Camden and Wilson
factions on that fateful day, and said
fusilade of bullets were fired, and
that he would prove that the bullet
which killed Frizzell was aimed at
Vinson and fired by one Of his own fac
tion, who was stationed on the opposite
side of the creek.
DR.. Banfield was the only witness eX-
amined. The case is causing much in

The rumors so persistently circulated
for many weeks as to the probability
that the Sultan VIII be deposed were
repeated On all sides to-day, and 1t
would seem that they may have been

the subject having been overheard al

PHILADELPHIA INVESTIGATION.
The Agent OF the Citizens Municipal As
sociation Under Examination.

The Agent OF the Citizens Municipal As
sOcation Under Examination.
Philadelphia, Pa, November 12.-The
second session Of the Senate InVesti-
eating Committee to inquire into local
municipal affairs was held to-day. The
entire session was taken up by the ex-
animation of General Agent Adds, Of
the Citizens Municipal Association, con-
tinued from yesterday. AS to garbage,
previous to 1898, Mr.. Adds said the
contractors were permitted to dispose
Of it as they saw fit. The witness chief
complaint at present was that it is not
incinerated, as was required. These
derelictions were brought to the atten-
tion of Director of Public Works Win
drim by the Citizens Association and
the contracts were asked to be an
nulled. This was not done. The wit
ness said he had been familiar with the
street paving since 1850. He said an
ordinance OF council adopted in April,
1888, required the use of fitted blocks
No attempt has been made TO enforce
this regulation, the blocks used being
Irregular. The difference in price be-
tween these two kinds Of blocks, he
said, was about $1.05 per square yard.
The property owners for their share Of
the expenses paid in the aggregate Of
$4,000 for what they did not get, the
fitted blocks being required by Ordin-
ance. The committee then adjourned
until tomorrow, when Agent Addiss
examination will be resumed.
