LAST OF THE ANGELL CASE.
The Famous Conspiracy Against the Heirs
of jaw Gould.

New York, Dec. 6-The action
brought by Mary Ann Angel against
Helen Gould and others to enforce an
admeasurement Of dover in the estate
of the late Jay Gould was to-day dis
missed by jury in the supreme court.
A short time ago application was made
by the plaintiff to discontinue the case,
but the court denied the motion and or
dered the case put on the jury calen-
dar When the proceeding commenced
to-day counsel for Mrs. Angel produced
an affidavit from his client, in which
she said: II was never married to Jay
Gould or to any man of that name or
to any man named Jason Could"
Although this settled the case so far
as Mrs. Angells claims to be the widow
of Jay Gould were concerned, counsel
for the Goulds called Mrs. Cody to the
stand. After a preliminary statement,
in which it was declared that the whole
suit was a conspiracy to foist dowager
upon the Gould estate and that Mrs.
Cody had obtained from Mrs Angel a
deed conveying the latter's alleged in
terest in the Gould estate, Mrs. Cody
was shown several letters which, it was
alleged, were written by Mrs. Angel.

ten round Barry did most Of thelscoring
in thoroughly scientific struggle.
Then Croot made determined stand
and at the eighteenth round had almost
equalized matters. When the nine
teenth round opened Barry Immediately
forced the work at a great pace and
finished stronger than his opponent.
In the twentieth Barry put up some
excellent drives and with crushing
right-hander on Croot's jaw knocked
him out, when only forty seconds re-
mained. Barry had just sufficient in
hand to secure verdict had the con-

WEAK RATHER THAN VICIOUS.

More Thnn $4,000.

Boston, Dec. 6.-United States Dis
trict Attorney Jones has issued instruc-
tions that the papers in the case Of
Albert King, former messenger of the
Boylston National bank. who is under
indictment on a charge of embezzle-
ment, be filed upon his entering a plea
of guilty and the payment Of the costs
There is no desire on the part of the
bank people to push the case against
the young man. The bank has been
reimbursed and it is held that King,
who from the first has been seen to be
weak rather than vicious, has had a
lesson.
King is twenty-nine years of age. His
crime was that of running away with
more than $4,000, which he had COL
lected for the bank on May 10. He was
traced from Boston to Lowell, Farm
ington, Me-, Rangely and back TO
Pennington, where he was arrested.
On his person was found $50, 0,940.35,
within $50 of the amount he had taken.
King made no resistance, but was
brought to Boston, May a. and after a
hearing and arraignmenr he pleaded
not guilty to the charge of embezzle-
ment and trial was set Cor the Decem-
Der court.
