The contest over the will of the late
DR.. John H. Pipes resulted yesterday
in victory for the contestants, after
a hard legal battle, occupying nearly
TWO weeks in the Circuit Court before
Judge Hervey. The case was given to
the jury Friday afternoon, and a night
session of court was held. which adj
journed at $3.50 o'clock. without the
jury having reached an agreement. At
that hour it was understood that the
first ballot showed a majority of the
jurors to favor such a verdict as was
finally agreed upon by all. The final
ballot Friday was said to be eight for
the contestants and four for the execu-
tors.
The jury was composed of Joseph
Daum, ALI c. Ulrich, Edward c. Deitz,
VIM A. Best. John Weisgerber, Henry
Roth, j. A. Bell, A. NJ. Rice, William
Wendell, Andrew Rose. Louis Remick
and Walter Wood. The jury took its
place in the box yesterday morning,
and was sent to the room, while there
was considerable speculation as to the
verdict, most persons inclining to the
opinion that it would be hung jury.
At noon there was a rap on the door
of the jury room, and little later the
Jurors filed into the court room. Clerk
C. H. Henning propounded the usual
question:
Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a
verdict"
eve have" replied Foreman Bell.
A page was sent for the attorneys
in the case. The following verdict was
then read
1--WE, the jury. find that the paper
writing offered for probate in this court,
dated November LIST, 1898, is not the
last will and testament of J. H. Pipes,
deceased"
W. p. Hubbard, counsel for the ex-
ecutors, made the usual motion to set
aside the verdict and grant new trial,
upon which arguments will be heard
at future date.
DR.. John r. Pipes, son of the de-
ceased, was heartily congratulated up
on the verdict, by several persons IN
the court room.
'Ahe estate of the late DR.. Pipes is
worth approximately $4,000, and under
the provisions of the paper purporting
tn he his will. the bulk Of it was to go
TO MS DrOIuSIS. lie SOhNSSeeoAANs -
son, DR.. John Fl. Pines, received
beouest of $500. Dr. Pipes widow re-
undated the will. in so far as beGuestss
to her were made, and if the verdict OF
the jury is permitted to stand, and tne
nropertv is distributed legally, her por-
ton will be much larger. There IS an
other son, Crago Pipes, who IS beheveu
to be dead. He has not been seen or
heard from for a number of years, out
there is understood to be no PROOF Oh
his death, although it is the general
belief that he is no longer living.
In the case of Louis Baumann vs..
BOARD of Education of Wheeling, the
motion for a new trial was overruled.

Two criminal cases which were tried
at Lisbon, Columbiana county, last
week are of some interest here owing
to the fact that the principals are
known in this vicinity. Forrest Gray,
whose father is respectable FARMER
residing near Wegee, worked Tor one
Walter Clark, on Roberts Ridge, near
Moundsville, up until the 10th OF last
June. when he left and went to East
Liverpool. Ohio. Shortly afterward
Clark and his wife, who was formerly
Miss Annie Jones, of Wegee, parted,
each signing a contract to live separate
but refrain from marrying. Clark gave
his wife 5000 and she released him from
further financial responsibility on her
part. II appears from the evidence That
the woman after Leaving Clark went
to East Liverpool and there Joined hel
alleged former paramour, Forrest Gray,
and the couple were married. This
was the latter part Of July or the first
of August. Walter Clark, getting WORD
of his wife's doings instituted an in
vestigation, which terminated in the
marriage license, and on Friday the
woman was tried for bigamy, the jury
standing seven for conviction and five
for aeauittaI when the witnesses from
this place started for home Friday
evening. Mayor Freese, of this place,
was a witness in the case, having prev
iously had experience with Gray's habit
of holding lightly the sanctity OF an
arrest Of the couple at their home al

convicted of perjury In securing the

A MISSING STEAMER.
Freight Steamer AImIda, Bound
for New York.

New York. Jan. 23.-Considerable
comment is being made among ship
ping men as to the whereabouts of the
British freight steamer Almida. which
has been out 35 days from Shields, for
New York. She saiIeu from Shields
on December 10, on her way from
Hamburg for New York, in ballast,
and was reported passing Dunnet
Head, Scotland, on December 81. Since
then nothing has been heard of her.
The weather on the Atlantic has been
so bad that there was good reason to
believe she may have gone to the bot
tom, but when the steamer Brittania
came into port last week, Sc days out
from Shields, il aroused the hope that
the Almida had chance yet. The AL
mida is a staunch steel vessel of 1912
tons
