me. but continued to run up PeHan avenue
heading for Bronx Park nudge he was q
young man tc"au-e he ran 50 last.
Acting Captain Price, IN charge OF the
Detpotive Bureau In The Brunx Y, and Coroner
Mcdonald again questioned the aged mother
OF the murdered woman yesterday, but
n was aRain impossible 10 get . connected
story Of the ira gedy fro her. The Coroner
asked her II there had heen a man III the
bouse on Thursday night. Her answer
was rambling and nothing could he made
Of II.
were LAWYER Burton W. Gibson and his
wife. Gibson was the attorney for Mrs.
Stenton in the settlement OF the litigation
over the ancient mansion in which she lives,
and he rot a fee OF 50 loo. He spent nearly
the entire day going over tne paPers o. Ga ,ne
Price he denied the story that there was a
quarrel over his fee. He showed o paper
signed on November 5, 1905, by the mother
and daughter in which they said they were
entirely satisfied with the settlement a. Tar
as Gibson was concerned. He had many,
letters written by them later, which showed
that they had confidence IN him:
According 10 Gibson Mrs, Kinnan was
very anxious 10 get a divorce from her
husband, and at her request he attempted
three years ago TO reopen the proceedlngs
begun by her in 1893. With the aid OF
detectives he had traced kinnananor KHAN
as the latter says his name is-to Port JerNls
and 10 Brooklyn, but they we're not able 10
get evidence 70 secure a divorce.
sMrs. Kinnan often spoke to me about
making a will, = continued Gibson, because
che said shs wan d to be sure that her
husband got none OF her property. AZ e
leaving all she had to her mother and she
signed that document. After we had gone
over 1t together we decided that the will
was not in proper form and she said she
would have me draw another, but the will
was never drawn. Now | don't find. the
original will among her papers. do not
believe that her estate will amount to more
than 50 1000. 1t il all in personal property.
Since no will exists her husband VIII come
in for his lawful share.
"As far as I know Mrs. 'Stenton has made
no will. Her fortune probably amounts
to about SIS 900"
Mrs. Rinnan had a policy for $3.50 on her
life in one of the industrial insurance COM
panies. 1t was made out to her mother.
Mrs. Stenton has an old straight line policy
In the Mutual on her life which was taken
out il 1852. 1t is for 81 900 and is made pay,
able to her estate. She was % years old
when it was issued, so that her age now is
/. n years. A number Of her nephews and
nieces reside in this city; One OF her
nephews is said to be a s~tockbroker in Wall
street.
Another caller at the house yesterday
r. ..-L n,-n Me- CtnntNnic nhY,at-
clan. He went at the request OF Mr.. Gibson
to give an opinion on the old woman's
mental and physical condition. DR.. Dunn
agreed with Coroner Mcdonald that the
woman's mind was in bad shape, but he
was not so sure that she was as weak physic-
ally as had been reported.
According to Mrs. Shippo she quarrelled
frequently with her daughter and blows
were exchanged. h is extremely ir-
ritable and is given to fits Of temper which
may be due to the brain malady from which
Coroner Mcdonald says abe is sufT erlng.
While Lawyer Gibson was talking to the
reporters at the bottom Of the front stoop
yesterday Mrs. .Stenton opened the door
and looked out. hen she slammed the
door and barred it, after which she stuffed
the bell 80 that no one could hear it ring.
The lawyer was obliged TO get the assist
ance Of the policeman on duty before he
could get in again.
Dunn said: Il am sure that Mrs. Kinnan
did not open the door TO a stranger on the
night of the murder. Having had a great
deal Of legal trouble and many experiences
with process servers, both women were
suspicious of strangers, 80 much 80 in fact
that / could scarcely get them to open the
door when l called. III she opened the door
to any caller it was to some one she knew
or expected"
Capt. Price declared yesterday that he
had not yet talked to Mrs. Kinnan's hus-
band, who is or was at Belmar, n. j,
