This morning at 10 o'clock the case of

before Judge Williams in the federal
court. The case has attracted unusual
attention on account of the high stand
ing Of he lady accused and also because

MRS. JOHN DORIAN BIAS BEEN VERY
LOW SINCE SATURDAY.
At the Worst Times Has Been Unconscious
Investigation In the Probate Court as
to the Ownership of Some Farm and
City Property Is Continued TIL Next
Saturday, When Mrs. Doran Will BE
Asked to Go Upon the Stand
Again.

ASKED TO 10 Upon the Stand
Again.
Mrs. john Doran is very seriously
sick. Much Of the time since last Sat-
! urday she has been unconscious and late
yesterday afternoon her condition had
not improved. Mrs. Dorans health has
been failing some since Mr.. Doran's
death, but more especially since pro-
! ceedings have commenced in the short
age case has she shown symptoms Of
serious nervous trouble The whole
community extends the deepest sympa-
thy. Last Saturday before Probate
cover the items OF the Doran estate and
whether it was all really represented in
the statements Of the administrator.
Mrs. Doran was put upon the stand.
She has not been away from her home
since.
Yesterday number OF witnesses were
examined in the probate court to as
certain whether the Smith farm in Eagle
township and some East Douglas avenue
lots were a portion OF the Doran es-
tate and could be turned to account in
the shortage. It appears that Hiram
Smith had borrowed over $500 from Do
ran for which he gave a second mort
gage upon his farm. He afterwards
sold the farm TO Doran who took I'D the
mortgages and paid the rest in cash.
In the investigation last Saturday Mrs.
Doran stated that she did not know
what property had been bought or sold
or what hadn't, or anything about the
persons in the transaction, and that the
records would show There seems 10 be
trouble 10 find out who in reality owned
the farm and lot.
The matter will be taken up again
next Saturday in the probate court to
see whether Doran ever really owned the
property, and If he did. who got the pro-
ceeds when it was sold.
Mrs. Doran Will be asked to go on the
stand again 10 tell what connection
Kelley and Hallowen had with the
transactions. 1t occurred from the tes-
timony yesterday that Doran had bought
the property and decided it to Halloweli
and Kelley, maybe as a purchase, maybe
in trust for Mrs. Doran. At any rate,
they as owners in name have sold il.
II it was in trust for Mrs. Doran can
1t be attached and taken by the county?
The object OF the suit Saturday will be
20 find out where the ownership really
rests.
