According to Mr.. Gibson. the mother stub

Shortly after that Mrs. kinnan started to

of William Cllnchy. a wldower. o. years
old, who lived at Prospect Terrace and
Twelfth street, Williamsbridge. He had
three sons and five daughters. He was a
carpenter and small contractor, and Mrs.
Kinnan met him through the Clinchy
girl, who was studying with her. Clinchy
visited the Stenton place often, and about
eighteen months ago Mrs. Kinnan began to
talk again Of getting u divorce. Ii was said
yesterday that she expected to get married
and wanted to be free Of Kinnan. The
mother again opposed the divorce suit,
but the daughter Engaged a private de-
tective in spite of her. This detective
located Kinnan in South Oxford street,
BROOKLYN, but the mothers opposition was
30 strong that nothing definite was done.
The daughter had not. however, given
weeks ago when Cllnchy died. He was
taken i'll in the front yard of the Stenton
house and died there. 1t was said that
apoplexy was the cause OF his death. Cor,
oner Mcdonald said last night that he had
never mad the case brought to his attention.
Department record of the death and see II
any further action was called for. II
was reported yesterday that there was
some dispute between Mrs. Stenton and her
daughter on the one hand and Clinchy's
children over the possession of his BODY
but this was denied both by u daughter OF
Clinohy and by Mrs. Stenton's lawyer.
Oinchy had taken out a life insurance
policy for $3.50 in favor of Mrs. Kinnan, but
1t had been running such a short time when
he died that only $50 was payable under
the terms of the policy: Lawyer Gibson
said yesterday that this fife insurance policy
had been taken out by Clinchy as security
for money which he owed Mrs. kinnan.
Since CIinchy's death the mother and
daughter had not talked much about the
matter of getting a divorce, but the daughter
had not given up the idea OF renewing her
efforts.
Guy C. Frisbie of ?sl M%cDonough street
Brooklyn. the son of the man who repre-
eented Kinnan in the divorce proceedings,
said last night hat he saw Kinnan two
months ago, but knew nothing as TO his
present whereabouts.
Mrs, Stenton bought her home in The
Bronx back in 1858. In those days it was
considered one of the finest places in that
section, Her husband was Robert Stenton,
a wholesale hardware merchant. He has
been dead many. years. Mrs, Stenton had
many influential friends at one time.
Among them. 1t is said, was Commodore
Vanderbilt.
She got to investing in securities and lost
nearly all her money in the panic of 1873.
To settle with her brokers, she was Obliged
TO deed over her Bronx property. with the
understanding that she should be allowed
TO live there all her life rent free. A few
years ago the brokers sold the property,
and the new owners brought an action
against Mrs. Stenton to compel her to move
out. She defended her rights successfully,
and finally got Sl2. 900 as her equity in the
place. That wasn't very long ago.
S,She deposited this money in a trust com
pAny, but it is possible that robbers may
have suspected her Of having it concealed
in the house. The daughter only a short
time ago got 81 200 which her lawyer had
collected for her and she had an income
from property in Brooklyn. Although
de big house and grounds are badly run
comfortably provided for.
Besides Mrs. Kinnan and McChnchy, a
third person, a negress, has died on the
Stenton property within the last year. IT
was said yesterday that the negress fell
down near the steps of the house and was
taken TO Fordham Hospital, where 1t was
said she had been suffering from consump-
ton.
Mrs. Kinnan was q big woman, weighing
