THE LATE JUDGE S. c. HASTINGS.

was filed with Judge Coffey yesterday, a
very unconventional style of courtship is
described with minute detail and JUNCTION.
Strange marriage ceremonies ale told of
with the greatest complacency, while the
honeymoon that followed, according to
the fair contestant of so, is as remote from
anything that would be attributed TO the
founder of Hastings College of the Law as
can be conceived.
S. G. Hastings formerly one of the Jus.
died in 1893. 1t will be remembered that
some time previous ne had made two
trust deeds to the great bulk of his
vast fortune, estimated In the millions,
giving his property to his children, who
at that time consisted of r. P. Hastings,
prominent in politics, since dece ased
Dio Hastings, now OF Solano County; Mrs.
Major Darling; Mrs. Flora Keves, now
dead, who married a son of General
Keyes, and who left a little daughter, and
Miss Ella Hastings, now living with Mrs.
Darling. William Giselman, for many
y ears the confidential agent of the dead
jurist, was named as trustee.
He also made will leaving the re-
malnder of his property-about $3.50, 900,
exclusive of some minor legacies-to his
six grandchildren, three the children OF
Mrs. major Darling. as follows: Mrs.
Louise La Montague of New York, Mrs.
Jennie Grinnel, who was recently welded
to DR.. Grinneli of the Presidio, and DR..
Clinton c. II. Catherwood, now in New
York; and three the children OF Dio
Hastings. as follows: S. c. HASTINGS.
Hoyt Hastings and Ethel HASTINGS. vii.
liam Giselman and r. B. Wallace are
named as executors.
In 1885 the Judge had married a second
time, taking to wife Miss Knuts, who sur
wives him.
In the present contest, which was insti-
tuted shortly after the fling of the will OF
the deceased disposing of the $3.50 600, the
children of Mrs. Darling are represented
by Samuel Nj. Shortridge; those of Dio
Hastings by George A. Lamont of Solano
Mary Viola Hastings. so called, by SulIi-
van e. Sullivan. and Mrs. Lillian Hastings
by Knigh & Heggeriy.
The contestant, as the basis for her
claim to share in the Hastings estate.
sets forth that the deceased jurist at the
time of making his last will and tesla.
ment was insane, and that she is his
widow.
As a preliminary step in the contest.
the deposition of the alleged widow was

taken last year, the examination having
been conductad by S. M. Shortridge.
Matters went along swimmingly and In a
most interesting manner until Mr.. Short
ridge requested the production OF certain
letters claimed to be possessed by the de-
ponenI, which she said had been written
to her by Judge Hastings and which she
declared would prove her to be his widow.
Acting under the advice of her attor-
neys she declined to submit these letters.
In view of this turn of affairs Mr.. Short
ridge returned the deposition. as far as it
had been taken, to Judge Coffey, and yes
terday served notice upon the contestant
that upon next Wednesday, Novem ber 25,
they would ask Judge Coffey to order her
to produce those letters, so that pro-
ponents might inspect them and use them
as evide nee in the matter at issue.
The purpose of taking the deposition
was to ascertain on what grounds the
claims of the contestant were based, and
to enable the proponents of the will to
trace the life and career of the alleged
widow, who is charged by the executors
and iegatees with being an adventures.
Mary Viola Hastings is the name
claimed by the deponent. Viola, she de-
clared. was the Catholic paptismal name
given her by Father Burchard without her
knowledge after her alleged marriage to
Judge Hastings. Her maiden name was
Mary Lake and she was born in Pennsyl-
vania.
One of her peculiarities was shown IN

ALL SEEKING ESCAPE.
Unusual Number of Convicted Criminals
Asking for New Trials From the
Supreme Court.

Unusual Number of Convicted Criminals
Asking for New Trials From the
Supreme Court.
From all parts of the State appeals from
convicted criminals for retrial are pour
ing into the Supreme Court. One and all
of these appeals are based on technical
tiles. In the past two months twenty -one
convicted criminals have asked the Su-
preme Court 10 give them another chance,
which Is at the rate of about one every
three days. In every case the attorneys
have set up that the trials which Lave re-
suited disastrously for their clients were
not fair in some respect.
Such a general arraignment of Califor-
MIA Judges and jurors is something unpre-
cedented. The financial stringency does not
interfere with raising sufficient money by
convicted criminals TO pay for the print
ing of briefs and the employment of at
torneys in the least. Since the middle of
September the following persons have
asked the Supreme Court for rehearing:
Henry Church, San Francisco. robbery.
John Maxwell, Napa County, perjury
Benjamin L. Hill, Alameda County, murder.
James Cregan and Charles Becker, San Fran
cisco, forgery.
Frank Wilson, San Diego County, assault
Frank Lewis, Shasta County, murder.
Jose Ylario. San Diego County, murder.
Edward Wickham, Alameda County, embez-
Element.
Manuel Gomez, San Francisco. rape.
James Holmes and seven others, San Fran
cisco. murder.
Clifton E. Wayne, Los Angeles County, rape.
William White, San Francisco. burglary.
Thomas Griffin, Contra Costa County, rape.
The Durrant case will undoubtedly be
reopened to permit she introduction of
briefs. The day for the hearing of the
motion has been filed, being Dece Der 2.
This is the most i'm portant case in some
re poets liable to be considered in the i'm
mediate future. 1t will be recollected that
Paulseu, convicted of:robbery, has, within
the past few days, been granted a new trial.
Why the convicted criminals have begun
to seek new trials in such number at this
particular time Is something of mystery.
The transcripts on appeal in criminal
cases flied in the earlier part of the year
were quite numerous. In fact, there were
tifty-seven up to and including September
IA, which makes total of seventy-eight
convicted criminals who have sought
new trial during this year. The rate prior
to September IA was six a month. Since
then business OF this sort has been livelier.
The present phenomenon is causing con-
siderable comment among attorneys who
have criminal practice.

TWO SCHOOLS
WILL Be CLOSED
Diphtheria Creates Alarm
in the Board of
Health.
Eight New Cases Have Been
Reported Within the Past
Three Days.
Institutions of Learning That Will
Be Visited and Subjected to Close
Scrutiny To-Day.

The Board of Health has decided that in
order to check the spread of diphtheria
which threatens to become epidemic in
this City, it will be necessary to close two
and perhaps three of the schools from
which many of the recent cases have
emanaied.
The board was at first inclined to make
light OF the danger. but the reporting of
eight new cases within the past three d ays
has created much alarm and extreme
measures will be resorted to.
The schools that have been decided on
for closing are the Everett and Hawthorne
public schools and perhaps the Notre
Dame parochial school.
1t was decided at the special meeting of
Wednesday last that the board should visit
the Hawthorne, Everett ana Notre Dame
schools, from which a large number of
cases have been traced, and ascertain If
possible why such II state OF affairs should
exist.
No particular date was assigned for the
inspection, but the alarming number OF
the recent cases has hurried the board and
the visit will be made to-day.
The Health Officer. the inspector of the
district in which the schools are located
and plumbing inspector will accompany
the board, and the sanitary arrangements
of both schools will be subjected to the
closest scrutiny.
II has been reported to tie Board of
Health that the closets at the Notre Dame
School are built with open vaults, and
that these are responsible IN a great
measure for the number OF cases that have
been traced to this institution. Should
this prove to be correct the Board of
Health will order new sanitary appH-
in the meantime.
There is serious talk among the mem
bers OF the board of declaring the disease
epidemic, in addition to closing the two
schools mentioned, should any consider
able mum Der of cases among the pupils be
reported during the xt few days.
"Of course, this would be an extreme
measure" said member of the board
yesterday, but if diphtheria continues
to spread and appears to gain ground it will
he necessary to do so to prevent contagion.
When it once gets a firm footing diph-
liberia is a very hard disease to eradicate,
ard if the situation becomes really dan
gerous nothing can be gained by delay.
In several Eastern cities the health
authorities are now battling with cpl
denies of dlphtheria, and while we do
not fear that the disease will get the up
per hand we shall close the schools as
matter of precaution"
The Health Officer stated yesterday that
he had no doubt that the disease would
be stamped out In short order, but that
the closing of the schools was absolutely
necessary to effect the eradication.

an Opinion in Reference to south
ern Pacific Indebtedness.
City and County Attorney Creswell rem
dered an opinion yesterday at the request
of the Board of Supervisors which sets at
rest the ve1ed question as to whether the
City has right to assess the bonds of the
Southern Pacific Company owned by resi-
dents of San Francisco. The opinion is
as follows:
To the Honorable Board Of Supervisors of the
City and County of San Frdncisco-GENTLEMEN !:
am in receipt of your communication re-
questing my opinion in regard to the petition
OF John w. Mackay and r. v. Dey, petitioning
your honorable board to order paid to them as
trustees OF the estate of Mrs. There's Fair de-
ceased, the sum of $2342 70 in satisfaction of
a judgment affirmed by the Supreme Court of
City and County of San Francisco.
In reply will state that the judgment has
now become final, and should be paid.
While the judgment in the above entitled
case was nominaily against the CITY. the re-
suit of the litigation was in reality victory
for the City, for by 1t was determined that the
bonds of the southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany OF Arizona, which were owned by Mrs
Theresa Fair at the time of her death, and
not taxable in this State The tax or the bonds
amounted to $31, ,6S7 80, and was paid to the
City by the executors of Mrs. Fair under pro-
test
The Judgment for $2342 20 above men
toned represents the tax paid by the execu-
tors on the 20 per cent raise of the bonds
above their face value made for purposes of
State taxation; and the raise being in contra
vention OF the constitution the tax thereon
was illegally collected and should be returned
to the executors of the estate.
The raise OF 20 per cent above face value was
made solely for the purposes of State taxation,
and the entire tax collected on the raise was
PAID over to the State; therefore this entire
ludg ment against the City should be deducted
