 Mrs. Mariana Louis has not given up the contest over the $15,000 estate left by her son, Edouard Louis, who for many years was a liquor dealer in Alameda. Her attorneys, A. Ruef and s. Bloom. to- day filed a notice of motion for a new trial. They intend to move to set aside and annul the verdict rendered on Sep tember 29 last in the contest of Mariana Louis, on the grounds of irregularity in the proceedings of the court and jury; allege that they had no fair trial; allege misconduct of the jury and disregard of the jury to the instructions; also on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
 Aside from this the contestant has filed petition asking that an order issue re- Quiring the widow, Mary Louis, to file a certain alleged will, which she testified at the recent trial was in her possession, aside from the one filed for probate here tofore and which petitioner alleges upon information and belief is subsequent in date to said first will which was admitted to probate. Petitioner alleges the with held will to be in reality the last will of deceased.
 In case of the widows refusal or fail- ure to produce the much sought will within two days after service of notice petitioner asks that she may by warrant be committed to the County Jail and be kept in close confinement until she pro- duces the same.

 sos Broadway, Oct. 10.
 Fred 4. Davis, who has been for long time county expert, surprised everybody to-day by rendering his resignation to the Board of Supervisors. No one had any intimation that the resignation was to De presented, and it was whispered in the lobby that it must have some connection with the doings of the Grand Jury
 A week ago the Grand Jury instructed the District Attorney to bring suit for the recovery of number of bills aggre- gating a few thousand dollars which nad been paid without any warrant or law. This action created some surprise, as the bills had all been regularly exported ana passed upon by the Finance Committee Of the Supervisors.
 satisfaction over the office of expert ana a resolution was passed by the Board or Supervisors setting forth the hours dur ing which all employees or the DoaFd must be on duty.
 Stll later at the primary election MT. Davis was one of the officers of election, and some talk was caused by the manner in which the primaries were conducted III the Fourth W ard.
 Still later the Grand Jury took up the matter of exporting county claims ana some very remarkable discoveries were made, plainly showing fraud on the part or some of those who SWOTe to thelr plItS. While these matters did not directly anect Expert Davis, they added to the growing dissatisfaction existing, although no one was prepared for the sudden resignation. The expert offered no explanation, but merely said T herewith tender my resIg- that the same be accepted to date from to-day. I thank you all for the courtesy and assistance given me in the discharge of my duties.
 The resi- signation was accepted and E. B. Bullock, formerly secretary of the Board of Education in Alameda, was appointed to fill the vacancy at a salary of SIPS per month.
 Supervisor Roeth objected to taking i'm mediate action. He said Davis had not attended to his duties for the past week. and Roeth did not believe him entitled to salary for that period. Supervisor Wells said that the proper time to object was when Davis bill was presented for ap- prOval. Davis was not present at the meeting to-day. It is understood that he intends 10 remove to San Francisco.
