PIONEER FAMILY IN
BITTER CONTEST.
Brothers and Sisters of w.
Perreau Charge Him With
Attempting to Defraud
LAWSUIT OVER LAND

OAKLAND, Nov. 5.-Charged with
attempting to defraud his brothers and
sisters out of property alleged to be
worth $1,000, William Perreau was to-
day made the defendant in suit that
reveals a bitter quarrel among the
members of pioneer family of this
city.
William is accused of hypothecating
property left him by his insane mother.
According TO the complaint fled by
three members of the family William s
method was ingenious. The mother,
Mrs. Eliza Ann Perreau, was adjudged
insane In 1901 and died in 1904 Among
other property she owned a piece of
land 50x107i feet on Railroad avenue,
near Union street. She had given a
mortgage on this property to the Oak
land Bank of Savings in 1897 to Sc
cure note for $500.
William Perreau is alleged to have
gone to the other heirs and told them
that the bank did not desire to fore
close the mortgage. provided that they
allow one member to transact the busi-
ness and that the bank officials would
give them all the time they desired.
All went to the bank and gave notice
that they were willing for William to
handle the estate, although Mary G..
pointed guardian OF the insane woman.
1t is further alleged that the bank
foreclosed and purchased the property
for $S14.74, and on August 26. 1902, sold
it TO William Perreau for the same
amount, although it was then worth
$4,000. Now, it is alleged, the prop
erty is worth $1,000
The other heirs say they did not
know of these transactions until Sep
tember l. 1906, and they alleged that
Williams statements were false and
made in bad faith.
Those suing are Howard j., Joseph
L. and Florence Perreau. brothers and
sisters of the defendants. Mrs, Gar
rett is made a co-defendant. Judgment
is sought that the brother who is ac-
cused of fraud be declared merely a
trustee and that each heir be entitled
to one-flifth of the property.
In Justice to the officials of the bank,
the plaintiffs say that the officials
acted at all times in a thoroughly
proper and just waYand that no blame
whatever can rest on them for the al
legged wrongdoing of William Perreau.

MYSTERY IN DEATH
Of UNION MAN.
Body Discovered in Bay Is
Identified as That of d.
Bohan of San Francisco
SIGN OF FOUL PLAY
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 5.-The body of
Daniel Bohan. which was found float
ing in the bay near Angel Island yes
terday by two soldiers. was identified
this afternoon by his brother, James
L. Bohan of 231 Page street, San Fran
cisco, who ordered the body shipped
to that city In the dead mans cloth
ing there were only due books of the
Painters, Paperhangers' and Decorat-
ors' union and of Unity loge of ST. Pat
rick's Alliance. showing Bohan's mem
bership. There was a severe bruise
over the left eye. which may have been
caused by fall or blow from a
weapon in the hands of a thug.
James T. Bohan could not account
for the death of his brother and the
case will be given \over to the San
Francisco police department to un-
ravel. James said today that Daniel
left home between and g. m Sat-
urday morning and did not state what
his movements would be during the
day. James supposed that his brother,
who up to 10 days ago was painting
at the Union Works, had gone there
for $50 wages due him. Daniel was
not drinking and did not have any
money or watch and chain upon him
when he left home.
DIR. w. j. Wyckman made an au-
topsy this evening. He believes that
Bohan was struck severe blow over
the left eye, rendering him uncon-
scious and that he either accidentally
fell overheard or was thrown over
board by his assailant. His death was
caused partially by drowning and the
blow.
The coroner's inquest will be held
Thursday.
