County Jail.
NEGOTIATING OVER HIS SINS.

Morning With Deputy Sheriff

Latter Taken to Cullen Hotel Where
She Is Under Surveillance
kept From Reporters.

Like a moulting bird OF paradise
shorn of his luxuriant tail feathers sits
Jim Donaldson Ia his steel cage In
the upper corridor of the county jail
moping. Sans the McWhirter Doodle,
sans his flashing diamond, and last but
not least important in his eyes. sans
his customary morphine, sits the fake
doctor and thinks over his sins.
Jim" Is destined to sit there for a
little while in meditation alone ana
then the officers will enter into heart
to heart talk with him with the Nc
whir;er s1o0OO-robbery as the theme,
In the meantime Or" Donaldson finds
solitude irksome. The quick transition
from the plush surroundings Of draw
ingroom on a Pullman car to the cold
comfort OF concrete floor and hard
bed OF prison cell is telling on the
bunko sharp already.

rested at Hot Springs, Ark, by Deputy
Sheriff Joseph c. sharp on Monday, ar

were referred to the sheriff with the
remark that no one could see Donald
son without a written order from Mr..
Emery.
SHUT UP" SAYS SAM.
Sam King promptly told his client to
keep his mouth closed and answer no
questions. because his attorney would
do that.
When he reappearei, Atty. King told
n most beautiful fairy story regarding
the innocence of his client. and more's
the pity. he told II with great enthusl-

tune away to charity and Is to start to
distribute II at once. providing there is
no contest which Is likely to tie up the
estate.
Twenty-Five nephews and nieces of the
blood get 1000 apiece under the will, and
three grandnieces and one great grand
nephew get their proportionate parts Of
the $25, 900 which would have gone to a
niece now dead.
The total bequeathed TO the kin is s650,-
600. by the will filed yesterday $4,000 was
left to Mr.. Sage's sister Mrs. Fannie
Chapin. who died two years ago. This
bequest under the terms OF the will does
not go 20 the heirs of Mrs. Chaplin, but
reverts to the residuary estate. which
goes to Mrs. Sage
Mrs. Sage would not make any state
ment herself as to what would be done
with this immense fortune, which she,
a woman of advanced years, has TO ham
die. but DR.. J. Carl Schmwck. who has
been her physician and close friend for IS
years. made the statement that II would
be distributed by Mrs. Sage among va
rious charities. DR.. Schmuck was at the
Sage home In Lawrence, l.. l., last night.
When he came away from visiting Mrs.
Sage he said:
"In leaving his fortune 10 Mrs Sage
Mr.. Sage has left 1t to charity. She will
distribute It, What can she do but give
1t away? How could a woman OF such
advanced years spend a thousandth part
of II on herself7
Mr.. Sage knew his wife had made a
study OF philanthropy and that she knew
much more than he did about IT, He
knew that in leaving II TO her she would
take advantage of this study she had
made and distribute the fortune wisely
Despite the impression which the will may
have given. the fortune has been left to
charity.
II do not know Mrs. Sage's exact plans.
That she certainly has some plans I do
know Her gifts will be along broad lines.
as she Is deeply interested in educational
work. In various forms OF charitable en-
terprises, In the soldiers and sailors. In
the Young Mems Christian Association
and In hospitals. That is all can say

ture."

mated at from 800, 900. 900 to $780, 600 000 one
OF the lawyers acting In the settlement
OF the estate was responsible for the
statement that IT would probably amount

600 is In real estate. consisting OF the
house on Fifth avenue, the place at Law
renee and few other small parcels. of
the personal property. about $4,000. 600
is In loans and the rest in securities.
OF the fortune the state collects tax
OF per cent on what goes to the widow
and per cent. on all other bequests.
IL is estimated the state will receive
from the estate between 100000 and $780,
600.
A contest may be made by some of the
heirs. BY clause in the will any bene-
ficiary making a contest forfets his or

estate say this Is good law and will hold.
