NEW ISSUE RAISED
Another Will Has Been Presented in
Dunsmuir Case.

Victoria, B. c., Dec 2I.-A new issue
has been raised in the HopperDuns
case. When Mrs. Dunmuir entered the
Hopper Dunsmuir suit as an interviewer
against James Dunsmur, her son. the
defendant in that suit. it was understood
that the will of 1899 was the only one at
issue. Now: after the evidence of Mrs.
Dunsmuir has been put in. the defend
ants have raised the issue of a will made
in 1898. and Sir Charles Tuper. counsel
for Mrs. Dunsmur. has objected. as it
would now be necessary for him to pro-
cure new evidence. y decision will be
given tomorrow. with the reference to
the will of 1898. whether it viii be struck
out or not.
Patrick Nevin. coachman in the en-
ploy of Mrs. Dunsmuir and now employed
by Mrs. Hopper was cross examined
this afternoon. the plaintiffs counsel ask
ing questions tending to show that he
had promised to give evidence in their
behalf. but had gone over to the other
side. He denied this and incidentally
mentioned that Mrs. Hopper owed him
$500 for several months work. Witness
said he had never heard tell of Alex
ander Dunsmuir wanting amusement as
described by Mary Howe, who said Duns-
muir had induced her and another maid
to spar for his amusement.
r. Prather a surveyor. OF Oakland
Calf. testified that he had done con:id-
cradle work for Alexander Dmsmuir and
had always found him intelligent.
j. p Taylor. a coal dealer. of Oakland.
Calf. and friend of the late Alexander
Dunsmeir. testified that during his ac-
quaintance with the dead millionaire,
from 1917 to December q. 1899. he always
found Dunsmuir intelligent and able to
do business without question. though he
had periodical DRINKS. He recited the de-
tails of Dunsmurs wedding and said that
he and the groom had only one drink Of
whiskey before the ceremony. Both he
said. We're sober when he had been asked
to keep the marriage secret both By Mrs.
Dunsmuir and Alexander DunsInuir
During one conversation with Alexander
Dunsmuir. the dead, millionaire had told
witness his wealth brought him great re-
sponsibnities and It would not 10 as much
good to him as to the children Of James
Dunsmuir.
