TO FIGHT
PROBATE
OF WILL.
Brother and Sister Of the Late
Mrs. Banlgan Appeal to
Supreme Court.

John Conway OF Brooklyn. n. r, and
Susan F. Maher OF this city brother and
sister OF the late Maria T. Banigan,
iwidow OF Joseph Banigan. filed in the
municipal court today a claim of appeal
from the decree proving the will of Mrs.
Banisan, and also a claim for jury
trial.
The contestants are represented by
Charles II. Page, and In view OF large
amount involved the case promises 10 be
strongly contested.
The heirs 10 the property are made the
defendants i'm the case and will endeavor
with the aid OF the best legal talent avail
able 10 disprove the seemingly strong
claim OF the contestants.
1he estate is an extremely valuable one
and will undoubtedly run well into the
hundred thousands. The claim has not
been filed with the clerk OF the appellate
division OF the supreme court as yet and
as the attorney interested were dumb to
all questions CONCERNING this important
question, no information as TO the cause
OF the impending contest could be OBJ
tanned.
IL was hinted. however. that Mr.. Con-
way and Mrs. Maher will claim that the
testatrix was unduly Influenced against
them and that accordingly their share In
her estate was not what it ought TO he.
The claim was d~by Lawyer Page
this morning and Judge Spink after inves-
tigation approved II. As i'm all similar
cases the bond was fixed at $500 and Mary
Z. Manning was named as surety.

BEST'S TRIAL.
Rowe Most Important Witness
Examined at Todsy's Session

Salem, Mass, March ga little sun
shine had worked wonders with everyone
who was interested I'm tho trrai of Joha-C-
Best in the superior court this morning.
The court room was crowded. and every
one. from judge to prisoner. looked bright
and CHEEKY I'm the exhilsratirg atmos-
phere. az compared with the dull. cheer
less. cold of yesterday
Best appeared, IL anything. more cool
and calm than at any time during the
trial
The first hours OF the session were
taken up with testimony OF minor inn
portance from witnesses who were re-
called 10 add 10 their previous statements.
John II. Mitchell of Saugus was the first
witness recalled and he described the
blankets owned by Bailey at more detail
than he had done before.
Frank w. Graves, a neighbor Of Bal
ley's. was recalled 10 say that while he
had frequently heard gun shots about
the place, he had never heard any after
seven o'clock at night.
Willie Rowe was also recalled. He said
that he saw Best on Wednesday after
noon at the farm. Best was drunk and
Rowe asked him where Bailey was. Best
repIled tilat lie ulu not knON. Inc last
.me that he saw him was when he went
away with the milk. Witness said that he
then asked Best 10 look under the bed to
see IL Bailey was there, and Best did so.
After that. Best took the rifle from the
wall over the ice chest, placed five or six
cartridges in IL, and then went to the
yard where he fired at a post. Witness
testified that afterwards Best pointed the
gun at him (witness) and that he was
frightened by this act and stepped be-
hind Best. Best then lowered the gun and
il suddenly went off, frightening Best so
that ne replaced IL on the wall.
Rowe then detailed the trip they took
10 Robert Porters that night. and said
that Best told him To say nothing about
Baiiey's absence. Best said that he knew
nothing about where Bailey's two blan-
kets were. Witness said that Best drank
frequently from a bottle of whisky which
he had in the ice chest
Witness then testified with regard TO
the delivery of the milk by himself and
Best I'm the team. Best took down Bailey's
coat and told Rowe TO put II on as IL was
raining. He said that on their return
trip, Best went into a number of saloons
and got a drink. lie had large roll OF
bills with him.

This morning Mr.. Hodges was placed on
trial In the 9Th district court. on the
charge of dealing In impure milk, or to be
more specific, milk which was below the
standard required by law.
The government offered evidence TO
show that the sample retained by Mr..
Scott analysed with ll.S5 solids; sS.65,
water and $50 OF fats.
Mr.. Hodges swore that he gave the
other sample TO Edgar w. Grant, who
supplied him with the milk.
Grant said that on the 14th instant he
carried that sample TO his milk box,
packed IL In ice, and, on the 10th, deliver
ed IL to A. j. johnson. Jr., the milk In
spector at Pawtucket.
Mr.. johnson said that he put the sam
pie on ice. and the next day. the nth
warmed the milk TO the temperature of
the room, agitated the contents OF the
bottle thoroughly. broke the official seal
OF the Providence inspector poured OF a
sample and made an analysis
His report showed this condition: Solids
II IS; water S.5l; fats 3.o9S
Mr.. Johnson said that he poured of an
other sample from the same bottle and
carefully corking the bottle. gave IL 10
William J. Calder OF this city.
The latter swore that he knew nothing
of the other analyses.
His analysis was: Solids 12.45; water
s765: fats 3l6
The states strongest point in the cross
examination was that after Mr.. Johnson
had shaken the bottle of milk he should
then have poured the milk from one bot
tie TO another that perfect mixing might
be obtained. This was not done.
There was also dropped I'm as evidence
the possibility that this milk may have
come from Connecticut on March 18th.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1901-03-22

That IL was kept overnight by Grant and
delivered on the next day which would
make an interim of one week between the
day OF milking and the first analysis.
The chemists and the Pawtucket in
spector found that sample perfectly sweet
TO the very end. so they declared.
This was looked upon as remarkable by
Assistant City Solicitor Greenough. In
fact he rather questioned the integrity of
the sample. IL had been on an excursion
from Connecticut TO Providence, back to
Johnston, out to Pawtucket and back 10
Providence. and IL was still sweet and a
thing or beauty.
This looked very suspicious. IL was ap-
parently a personally conducted excur-
sion which had been very beneficial to
the health of the sample.
The court was not wholly satisfied with
the proof by the states chemists. that
the milk WAS below the sample. The state
had not successfully combatted the integ-
rity OF the sample given 10 the accused.
The court did not think that IL would be
possible to raise the seal and remove the
wires from the bottle without destroying
the seal itself The only method would
be that OF counterfeitng the seal after
substituting good for poor milk.
As 10 the prolonged sweetness OF the
milk the state must take into considera-
tion that the weather was cold during
the time covered and that IL would nat
urally remain in good condition. The
court couiu not conceive that the state
could safely say that the milk would not
keep sweet under the conditions that had
been specified.
A complaint against Clarence Kingsley.
alleging that he sold impure milk. involv-
ing exactly the same line OF evidence,
was discontinued by Mr.. Grecnougli,
Notwithstanding Mr.. Hogan asked for a
trial and acquittal Mr.. Kingsbury's
milk was up TO 10 per cent. fats and was
from a straight Jersey cow.

DEFENDANTS petition for new trial in the
case Of Michael Smith vs.. Builders Iron
Foundry In which the jury gave Mr
Smith a verdict for $500.
a new trial is asked chiefly on the

which would not allow guards upon IL as
the plaintiff claimed sholld be and the
safety of the crane was shown by the
.aS .sS' that that 4 has sSsn used for 10 yesrs
from this use. Counsel further argued
that the accident was due 20 an improper
lisc ~ tho cranc and 10 carelessnsss of
the plsintin and his fello~ workmen in
their work about tho crane and cylinder
head. aud fer this careiessuess the de
fendant was In no way responsible.
IN behalf of the jury verdict counsel
argued that the testimony showed this
crane was the only ono in which there
was no guard 10 the wheels That the
plainfif Wa not skilled fnachinist. but
helper who was subject % the call of
the nlachinist. and had no reason 10 be-
llcvc bui what the crane was as safe a.

CRANES DEFEAT KENosHA.
Chicago Team Wallops the Kenosha Ath-
1ettcs to Tune of Eleven to Three

There was comedy of errors out at
Grand View base ball park Sunday
afternoon, the Chicago Cranes base
ball team furnishing the comedy and
the Kenosha Athletics furnishing
more than their share of the errors.
When the final curtain had been rung
down on the last act the score board
read eleven to three and, strange to
say, the three was on the side marked
Kenosha.
The CranesIcame to Kenosha few
weeks ago and were defeated in close
game by score of three to two. This
time they came for vengeance and
they got it. From the early innings
of the game the Kenosha players
looked as if they were winners but in
the fourth innings, after the game had
been awarded to the Kenosha team on
account of an objection to the ruling
of Umpire Percente, the Chicago bat
tiers seemed to solve the mystery of
Pitcher Bu1man, and, assisted by a
number of rank errors, they made
runs enough in one inning to win the
game. In the next two or three IN
nings the visitors continued to increase
their lead but the Kenosha boys were
never able to get past the three mark
The game had one feature and that
was the appearance of Mercer, the new
third baseman for the Athletics.
Mercer did not show up very we'll as a
batter but his work in the field was of
the star order and he will undoubtedly
cover the third bag for the Kenosha
team for the rest of the season.
In a great many ways the game of
Sunday was the poorest of the season
in Kenosha. q Even Hubbard, who is
counted as a sure thing in the field,
was marked up with a number of cost
1y errors and following his lead the
majoritysLof the players had one or
more bad errors to their discredit.
The game proved to be an uninter-
esting one for the spectators and many
left before the last inning had been
played. The Cranes put up fast
game of. ball but the work of their in
field was decidedly yellow, the ielders
being charged with almost as many
errors as the. Kenosha players.

WEALTHY CHICAGOAN MISSING
Police Are Asked to Search For the Where
abouts of William Herman.

Anxious friends of William Herman,
wealthy resident of Chicago, APP
piled at the police office in this city
this afternoon for some assistance IN
locating Herman, who disappeared in
rather mysterious manner during the
night. Herman came to Kenosha Sun
day evening to attend funeral which
was held this morning. He was aC-
companied by a young lady friend, and
after the young lady had been taken
to the home of a friend Herman went
down town to hire carriage for use at
the funeral.
He made an appointment to take
breakfast with the young lady at the
Grant House and she agreed to meet
him there at eight o'clock this morn
ing. At the hour specified the young
lady went TO the hotel but it was found
that Herman had not been there for the
night. 1t is claimed that Herman was
seen at four o'clock this morning in
company with three men whose iden-
tity cannot be established.
The Chicago man is said to be worth
a hundred thousand dollars and when
he came to Kenosha he had large
sum of money on his person. The
livery man from whom the carriage
was rented states that Herman dis
played large sum of money while he
wds in the stable and asked to be di-
rected to saloon. The friends of the
Chicago man @eem certain that the
man has met with some foul play.

Czolgosz and the Law.

The laws of the State of New York,
under which the assassin Gzo1gosz was
tried, do not permit a person charged
with capital offense to plead guilty.
AS the law stands ''a conviction shall
not be had upon plea of guilty where
the crime charged is or may be pun
ishable with DEATH"
This explains the proceedings of the
last two days in the trial at Buffalo
The plea Of guilty was not accepted
aud the court went through all the
procedure required to convict man
who denied his guilt. The murderer
was obliged to accept the protection of
the laws whose authority he denies,
and being refused the opportunity so
dear to his class of posing as perse-
cuted martyr, was given a fair and i'm
partial trial. The promptness and
fairness of the proceedings are cause
for congratu1ation and commendation.
The counsel of Czo1gosz, having
made certain that all the forms of law
required to prove him guilty were COM
piled with, are not disposed to occa-
sion delay over technica1ities and it is
understood that the case will not be
taken to the Court of Appeals, which
would cause delay of several months.
IF no appeal is taken the murderer
may be executed within a month.
