Judge JaggaTd yesterday took under ad-
'RisemIent the appeal of Mrs. Amanda
Webber, from the probate court, wherein
she desires the will of her late husband
set aside and that she be allowed to come
in for a straight third of the estate.
While the court announced no formal de-
cision, il was intimated that the ruling
OF the probate court would be sustained.
The case Is a peculiar one, and has been
Stubbornly contested on both sides. There
was Il provision jn the will which stipu-
lated that Mrs. Weber was to receive
certain sum of money, monthly, from
her son, who is the only other heir and
that aside from this the whole estate
was to go to the son.
For time Mrs. Webber signihed her
willingness to stand by the provisions
OF the viii, and signed a written agree
ment to that effect.
But after q time she became convinced
that the distribution of the estate was
AT unfair one, and that she had not re
ceived her just dues. Accordingly she
petitioned the probate court to be allowed
to come in for the third of the estate
regularly prescribed by law, in spite of
he will and her voluntary ratification.
The court nolds, however, that she can
not recover TO the extent of a third of
the estate, because of the ratification
and that the law allowed a third to the
widow does not apply TO q case of that
nature.
Grant Frazier, charged with forgery on
several different counts, was arraigned
before Judge Lochren in the United States
court yesterday. and bail was fixed by
the court OF $1,000, in default of which
Frazier was Temanded to the county jail
He will be tried at the next term of the
federal court, which convenes on June "A.
Frazier was put through the sweat
process" yesterday, but still maintains
sulien silence further than to declare
his innocence. He has made no arrange
ments for an attorney to defend him at
the trial, and the officials are of the opin-
ion that he will plead guilty between now
and the date of the trial
In case that he pleads guilty it viii
probably have the effect of reducing the
sentence of Carpenter, who is now serv-
ing a sentence of two years and a half
for passing the checks that Frazier is al
legged to have issued or it may bring
about his pardon After Frazier finds
fnat lie cannot escape conviction he will
undoubtedly tell the whole story, and
thus present the case of Carpenter in it's
proper light.

George A. Wilson, well-dressed and
claiming to be a lawyer. was arrested
Yesterday afternoon by Officer Williams,
charged with larceny Of a watch from
Samuel Efron, leS East Third street.
Samuel conducts an establishment IN
front of which the three spheres flour
ish, and in the mix-up yesterday after
noon he displayed sufficient financial tact
to put him in the front rank of his pro-
fesslon.
Shortly before O'Clock a member or
his race who deals in eggs and produce
in general ha. a slight accident in which
case of egSs toppled Off his pedder's
wagon. Samuel and his clerk FASTENED
cut into the street TO get the eggs gath
cred up.
Lawyer Wilson. who was standing near
the store, took occasion at Il a time to
enter it, but not before SAINT Ell eagle
eye noticed vacancy where the lawyer
had previously stood. Dropping Il handful
of eggs, to the grief of his friend, he
rushed into the store in time to see Viii
son coming around the corner of the
watch show case.
Samuels first thought was for his cash
drawer and as he passed ne deftly opened
il and saw that there WAS nothing MISS
ing. Then his eye fell upon the watch
trays and noticed the pride of the shop
missing Wilson, in an unconcerned man
ner, strolled over TO the show case where
the revolveFs are kept and said he wanted
to buy gun
Displays His Genius.
At this point Samuels trade instincts
rose to their fun and complete grandeur.
Another man would have been shouting
police and murder at having the watch
stolen. but Samuel saw a chance TO sell
a revolver, and decided to say nothing
about the watch until ne either had the
money for the revolver, or 1t had been
demonstrated that there was no chance
OF selling it,
After some discussion Wilson bought
the revolver al good figure and was
about to depart, when Samuel came smil-
ing from behind the counter with a re-
quest that he settle for the watch. Will
son was gcealy surprised and shocked.
but Samuel continued to smile in his
non-conlmr al manner.
Officer Arrives.
To make everything certain, Samuel rad
dispatched his clerk for Officer Williams,
who arrived when Wilson was at the
most indignant part or his speech. Will
son was searched and the watch was
found inside Of his sock He was taken
to the Central station, which place, de-
spite his boast of legal learning, he mis-
took for the court room.
He advanced to the desk, behind which
sat Desk Sergeant Wright, saying: your
honor, am an attorney and can plead
MY own case, and | hope that when I
lay the facts before you you viii see fit
to deal as leniently- with me as possible"
He was Immediately sentenced and taken
up stairs.
Efron was well satisfied with the tran
saction, but thought that he should have
got SIS for the watch.

circumstances Point to Attempted
Suicide After Debauch, Though lie
Claims to Have Been Assaulted
His Money Untouched.

John Josephson, wood sawyer living
at No ] Swede Hollow, was found in an
unconscious condition early yesterday
morning in Phalen creek. near Fourth
end Commercial street. His throat was
cut from ear to ear, and his windpipe
severed, both wrists were sawed to the
Zone, and his scalp was nearly torn off
his head. He was taken to the city hos
pltal in the central patrol wagon. When
Josephson recovered consciousness ne
claimed that he was beaten by two men.
but the police believe his injuries are
the result of a drunken idea to kill him
self.
The theory Of the police is partially
borne out by the fact that Josephson' s
pocketbook, containing $125 In currency
and a draft for $378 was found in his
pockets. Gust Johnson, who lived with
Josephson In the shanty in the hollow,
was yesterday arrested and locked up in
the central station pending the investiga-
tion. At the time of his arrest johnson
was suffering from an acute attack of
deiirium tremens. The police are salts
fed that Johnson had nothing to do with
the case.
Josephson'~ story.
Josephson's story is that he was return
ing home about 2 O'Clock in the morning
after spending the night drinking. He
went through the tunnel to Commercial
street with the intention of reaching the
path which leads to the hollow When he
arrived at the creek just above the tunnel
two men approached him. Josephson de-
scrihes the men as ''big men, ike rail-
load men" One If them hit him on the
head with a stone and they then began
cutting him with knife When they
finished their knife work he saws they
threw him into the creek. where he laid
until discovered by Officer Maroney. The
only reason Josephsone could give for the
assault is that the men wanted to rob
him.
luasnluch as there was no attempt to
take hi: money or amy thing on his per
son, the police refused TO believe his
story. Josephson is a noted drinker. hav-
ing once before fallen from the retaining
wall, breaking one leg and Lis jaw. This
occurred at about the same spot where
he was found Yesterday morning
The police claim that Josephson was
drunk and decided TO kill himself. and
that after cutting his throat and wrists
he fell off the embankment into the creek
where he was found. The creek Is full of
rccks and boulders. which would account
for tie lacerated condition OF his scatp
and for the other bruises on. the upper
part Of his body.
Dun Knife Used.
Phe wounds on the wrists show that the
instrument used was dull saw-etfged
knife. Such a knife was found beside the
Led of Johnson, but there was no sign Of
blood on it nor any on any of Johnson's 5
clothing. The police claim that Joseps-
sons irjrries about the wrists ard throat
show suicidal intent. They maintain that
with ignorant people this is the usual
method employed Josephson claims to
