to thirteen years in the Eastern peni-
tentiary. AS to the recommendation
OF the jury that Koehler be given the
full penalty of the law. Judge Ed
wards, in passing sentence said: Like
a recommendation for extreme mercy,
the court does not have to regard 1t;
in this case it will not make any diff
ference in the sentence"
He also told Koehler that while he
had a right to go to Keryckfs home
at the time he did, it would have been
better If he had waited until the morn

FAIR ESTATE CONTEST.
Another Famous Expert in Hand
writing Testifies.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-Another
famous expert, Daniel 7. Ames, was
called upon by the plaintiffs in the An
gus-Craven case to testify as TO the
handwriting upon the various docu-
ments already introduced to-day. In
order to prove that the witness was
qualified to testify in such matters. it
was shown that he had been called upon
to pass upon handwriting some 1,20O
times in twenty-five States, Canada,
Paris and London, and that he was the
expert of the United States courts in
New York, New Jersey and the District
of Columbia.
After examining the various exhibits
in the case, he expressed the opinion
that the alleged Fair pencil will was a
forgery. He then proceeded to give his
reasons for this opinion, and the re-
mainder of the days session was con-
sumed by the witness in detailing the
various discrepancies which he had
discovered between the admittedly gem
uine writings and those in evidence.
