HUGHIE MAHER'S WILL.
His First Wife Becomes Heir to His
Property.

The fight over the estate Of the late
Mark FL. Maher in the probate court
In Chicago has been practically set
tied for the time by decision OF Judge
Kohlsaat which establishes the claim
of Jessie r. Maher as the widow of
the decedent. Maher was well known
to a number of the residents Of ST.
Paul, having some years ago been To-
Gated here. He was known as
"Hughie'' Maher, and will be remem-
bered by several of the sportive young
men of the city as being an expert
whist and poker player At the time
that Joe Kray, or Paper Collar joe"
as he was called. kept a saloon on
East Third street Maher, who was in
terested in a stock clock game and
other gambling interests, made the sa-
loon his headquarters. When he left
st. Paul he was then owner Of cons1d-
cradle real property on Fourth street.
near Robert. In the fall Of 1895 Maher
died suddenly at Hot Springs, and the
woman who claimed to be his wife and
was with him at the time, commenced
proceedings to secure her share Of the
estate as his widow. Alzuma Maher,
from whom he had been divorced, at
once claimed that the divorce had
been secured by irregular proceedings
and filed a bill asking that the decree
be set aside and that she be allowed
to share in the estate. Elizabeth Ma
her, who was with him at Hot Springs
at the time of his death, claimed that
she was his lawful widow. While this
question was unsettled, Jessie r. Ma
her, of Washington,D. c., came into
court and declared that she was the
widow of Maher under common law.
The last of the three widows to appear
on the scene was the woman who dur
Ing the time Maher was in st. Paul,
passed as his wife. Under her petition
the case was heard, the other two al
legged widows not being formally par
ties to this proceeding. A number Of
witnesses from st. Paul went to Chi
cago a few weeks ago to testify in the
case, and Judge Kohlsaat has just
handed down a decision ordering that
Jessie r. Maher be paid the $500 she
asked for from the estate. Attorneys
who are interested in the matter claim
that the decision Of Judge Kohlsaat es-
tablishes Jessie r. Maher as the widow
Of "Hughie" Maher The two other
women claiming to be the lawful heirs
will be shut out Of any share in the
estate, which is valued at $500, 900, I'M
less an appeal to a higher court should
reverse the decision.
