Way" not to mention expenditures
made IN giving 10 her a good time In
restaurants, places OF amusement and
elsewhere With tears In her eyes the
young woman vehemently denied the
allegations which the doctor made
against her. Michael O'Sullivan, a
lawyer, and a man who It was said was
a wall street broker were in the court
to do what they could toward getting
her out Of the scrape IN which she
found herself, but Magistrate Steinert
took a serious view OF the situation.
He held her In $4,000 bail for further
examination
Il met the young woman IN front Of
the Metropole Hotel last Friday night"
said Dr. Dlsbrow, who is staying in
the New Lincoln Hotel after a short
chat I went with her TO a restaurant
and other places Of amusement When
II left her discovered that my wallet.
containing $500. was gone. I went to
police headquarters and complained
about my loss Detective Sergeants
Downing and Dinenthal were assigned
to the case. Last night we found the
girl at Forty-second street and Broad
way. and she was arrested. She was
taken to headquarters and there she
denied having stolen the money"
The police admitted they did not
know Miss Harris, and she insisted she
had done no wrong TO Dr. Disbrow, OF
anyone else. She had been I'm New

to be able TO trace the money the de-
tectives asked for an adjournment OF
the case and the magistrate granted

charged.

Runs
BATTLE OVER ITS PROBATE

PITTsBURG, Nov. 14.-A strange
will was aired here IN the Orphans
Court when Karl r. Miller appeared TO
make a fight for about half the es-
tate OF Anna NJ. Cunning who died
here recently. leaving about 100000.
Miller and Miss Cunning had been
sweethearts, but he left her for another
She remembered him, however, and
hated her successful rival, for in her
win she set forth that Miller should
have half her estate provided his wife
died or he divorced her Miller refuses
to divorce his wife and Is making a
fight for a share OF the estate, anyway,
asserting It was given to him by a
prior win. Part OF the VIII now being
attacked. after disposng OF S5S,000 OF
the estate, runs:
THE income OF the balance TO be
given 10 Karl f. Miller. provided he Is
not living with the woman he married
in 1S9e--one Jane Wilson. Should she
die or he be divorced from her-that is,
finally divorced-he is TO be given abb
solutely one-half OF the principal and
the interest Of the other half as long
as he lives. II he marries again he can
by viii leave all to hts second wife and
children II he dies unmarried a Sec
ond tine without children the one-half
OF all his share Is to be divided equally
between the children Of Josiey Greer
Colbert Greer and John Blackford. In
no case is the present wife OF Kari r.
Miller to benefit by anything ] leave
him. either I'm personal or real estate.
should anyone contest this VIII Il Is
my earnest wish that they shall forfeit
their share"
But Miller does not intend to divorce
himself from Jennie o. Wilson. whom
he married against the wishes OF Miss
Cunning years ago. He asserts wrong
! tales were carried to Miss Cunning by
interested persons, and that she was
led to believe that he was about 10 di-
vorce his wife, whom she did not like
and that that prompted her 10 change
will she had made in his favor
Judge Miller said the court ought Ia
have the fact whether Miller was di-
vorced or stili living with the woman
Burleigh Of counsel said he would show
those facts. and Miller was sworn. Hs
testified that he was MARI ed 10 Jennie

Cunning. az the time mentioned, and
still was living with her
