MRS. EVYLYN LEVY FINISHES
TESTIFYING IN YOELL CASE
Very Little Testimony of Benefit to
Contestants ELECTED in Re-Cross
Examination of Daughter

Mrs. Evylyn Amelia Levy, the first
daughter of j. Alexander YoelL over
whose estate many heirs are fighting,
again took the stand yesterday morn
ing in Judge Kerrigan's court. She

animation by her attorney, D. M. Del
mas, who dwelt with particular at
tention on the location of deeds for
the San Francisco and San Jose prop
erty.
Later in the morning session the
witness was taken in hand by Attor-
ney Hoefier for the contestants who
made her describe in detail the dis
posal of the two deeds. She also was
made to repeat her testimony regard
ing the alleged dishonesty Of John

and in answer to a hypothetical ques-
ton testified that Yoell was not suf-
fering from senile dementia prior to
his C.eath.
DR.. Abrams continued on the stand
for the L. mainder of the day and an
swered several hypothetical questions
rrorounded by Attorney Dalmas re-
garding the sanity of Yoell, but was
Iii IRE reticent when questioned by At
torney Hoefler. He said judgIng from
De lmas that Yoell showed the clrcum-
spec tiCn of a. sane man.
Affdavits from Mrs. Eva M. Yoell and
Major Ezra r. Washburn. concerning
Yoel's sanity, and testimony from E.
l.. Atkinson regarding the value of real
estate On Montgomery street, owned
by Mrs. Levy, completed the days

audience sat mystified at the marvel
Gus feats of the trained horses, ele-
plants, camels. birds, monkeys and
dogs The acrobats, trapeze per-
formers and bareback riders came in
for round after round of deafening ap-
plause, to say nothing Of the childrens
favOrites, the clowns, who by their
funny antics and witty sayings caused
many little boys and girls to burst into

H. E. Babin, real estate man. tes-
titled that many of the clubs had been
closed since Cook assumed duty In
Chinatown and that many had been
abandoned by their proprietors. Ba-
bin did not know who conducted the

through the wickets at the end Of
each month and asked no questions.
Patrolmen r. r. O'Brien and Hen

mitted that .Wittman's orders were to
suppress gambling, but on the advice

Arguments on the motion to set
aside the indictments charging Her
man, Jacob and Josua Eppinger ana
James Demings with obtaining money
by false pretenses were continued be-
fore Judge Lawlor yesterday after.
noon. The chief grounds OF the mo-
ton are that the grand jurors who
brought in indictments were biased.
Ex-Governor Budd occupied the at
tention of the court all afternoon. He
argued that bias and prejudice had
been shown in the testimony of Grand
Jurors Andrew M. Davis, George
Newhall and James B. Smith. Davis
was member of the Merchants AS
scciation: Newhall had admitted that
he had expressed an opinion TO friends
about the defendants at the time Of
their failure, and Smith had been a
grand juror at the time the first in
dictments against Herman and Jacob
Eppinger had been filed, which clearly
disqualified him. He contended thai
Smith had said on the witness stand
that he believed in the guilt of the
defendants. Assistant District Attor-
ney Ferral denied that Smith made
such a statement and the court stenor-
rapher was asked to have Smiths

This is a ruling which will work both
