YOELES OLDEST DAUGHTER
HAS A BUSY DAY ON STAND
Attorney Hoefier, for the Contestants,
Exhaustively Cross-Examines
Mrs. Evelyn A. Levy.

Attorney Hoefer, for the Contestants,
Exhaustively Cross-Examines
Mrs. Evelyn A. Levy.
Mrs. Evelyn Amelia Levy spent all of
yesterday in Judge Kerrigan's court
under the grilling cross-examination of
Attorney Hoeher, counsel for the con-
testants. She was made to repeat in
detail the testimony given by her last
Thursday. in which she told the his
tory of her fathers business and social
relations. Many times the attorney
sharply questioned Mrs. Levy with
view Of causing her to contradict her
SELF but failed.
One thing Hoefler did establish, how
ever, was the fact that a feeling OF
bitter animosity existed In the heart
of Mrs Lew toward her sister-in-law.
She said also that her sister Genevieve
had attempted to estrange her father
and herself and that only by persistent
efforts could the witness prevent a sep
aration.
In describing her fathers business
relations, Mrs. Levy said he felt
ashamed of the dishonor attached TO a
family whose debts were not paid. She
said her father declared that creditors
were cheated and that Mrs. Yoell kept
tha names of creditors off the court
list.
She then went on to describe how she
stepped between her father and her
sister-in-law. Mrs. Dunn, at a time
when she was certain Mrs. Dunn was
going to strike her father. She also
told of her own irnpertinence to her
father, which, in his kindness, he later
forgave and forgot. When asked by
Attorney Hoef1er why she was for
given, she said that her father found
out that she was provoked to 1t by the
influence brought against her, and he
saw the circumstances in their true
light

Mrs. squires' Fate Postponed

Judge Cook has not yet allowed Mrs.
Grace Squfres the woman burglar. to
go on probation. The Judge had re-
ceived an anonymous letter giving
four addresses where it was alleged
Mrs. Squires had lived and had borne
bad reputation. A detective was em-
ployed to make an investigation and
found at two of the addresses that
the woman's reputation was good and
at the other two Mrs. Squires was
not known. That disposed of the
anonymous writer. AS a few articles
stolen by the woman have not vet
been returned to the owners, the
Judge continued thee case till to-day.
II these articles are returned the pro-
baton order will probably be signed.

Miss Bee Taylor. the former cler,,

ton who was ousted for an attack on
the Philippine policy, again comes to
the front in an attack on the authori-

The Judge asked Miss Taylor a oues-
ton Yesterday regarding a suit in
which she is litigant. She snappily
responded None of your business. ),
The judicial dignity was visibiy
shocked.
The remark gave Bailiff Denny Sui
livan an opportunity for quelling an
incipient riot, and he responded with
alacrity. After a few words of can
ton and reproof the case was set for
trial on next Thursday, stress being
laid on the time of hearing when the
