PASSED SUBJECT TO PEREMP.
TORY CHALLENGE

For the second time since the be-
ginning of the Ruef trial in Judge
Lawlor's court the jury box was filled
last night, but the exercising of per-
emptory challenges was postponed un-
til this morning at the request of AS
sistant District Attorney Heney. Six
jurors have already been sworn to try
Ruef and six others are now in the
box. having been passed for cause. The
prosecution has but two peremptories
remaining, while the defense has seven
W. D. Keyston of 80 Second street
a saddlery dealer. was accepted yes
terday without challenge from either
side, his selection filing the last va
cancy in the jury box. A number OF
other talesmen were examined and ex-
cused because of prejudice or decided
opinions concerning Ruefs guilt. A
new panel of talesmen was reported
to the court yesterday morning and
will be on hand for the continuance
of the jury impeachment in the event
that vacancies are created in the box
this morning.
Heney took quiet slap at the su-
preme court decision in the Schmitz
case yesterday after objecting to state
ments by Ach relative to the history
of the Ruef case Ach gave him an
opening by asserting that his declara-
tions referred to matters of common
notoriety."
Common notoriety does not stand
under California law" answered Heney
THE supreme court decided that in the
Schmitz case. when it said that COM
mon notoriety attaching to the fact
that Schmitz was mayor of the city
was insufficient, and that it should
have been alleged in the Indictment
Ach caused another interchange OF
invectives between himself and Heney
and gained another reprimand from
the court by reverting to the presence
of women in court several days ago
Heney objected to an insinuation that
they were present in an endeavor to
influence the jury, and Ach then di-
rectly charged that such was the case
That's false" cried HeRey, and in
answer to Ach's assertion that he had
read it in the Examiner, Heney con-
tinued: You read a lot Of lies and
a good many of them are about me. .
Yes, and some truths, too," snorted
Ach.
Not many" Heney responded, "and
none that come from you"
Judge Lawlor interfered and eau
toned Ach to keep his questions within
the limits prescribed by the court. Ach
stepped over the bounds again in the
very next question and was told by
Judge Lawlor that the court would
take severe action if there were any
further transgressions.
Ach reopened the examination of
Thomas ONeill, who was passed to the
jury box last week, and interposed a
challenge on O'NeilPs statement that he
had formed a qualified opinion from
newspaper reading. Heney denied the
challenge and 1t was disallowed.

firing bullet into his brain. The
tragedy occurred in Eddy street be-
tween Webster and Fillmore, about s
o'clock yesterday morning. The thor
oughfare was crowded at the time.
Peters, who had been separated from
his wife for several months, had been
lying in wait for her, knowing that she
passed that point in going to her work
from her home, 1863 Eddy street.
Mrs. Peters was in the COM
pany of Mrs. Nellie Rudolph, with
whom she has been living since
leaving her husband. Peters stepped
into the doorway of a saloon, and as
the women were about to pass he ap-
preached his wife and asked for some
money. She refused.
Without warning he drew a revolver
and began firing. Three shots hit his
wife, two entering her leg and the
third penetrating her arm. He then
turned the gun on himself.
Several months ago Mrs. Peters left
her husband owing to his cruelty and
drinking. Previous to their separation
they conducted a tailoring establish
ment at 3040 Mission street.
A note left by Peters was found in
his overcoat pocket and read as fol-
lows:

MRS. RICHARDSON
CONTESTS WILL
Widow Says Late Manager of
Iron Works Was of I'M
sound Mind

Asserting that Erskine Richardson,
the self-destroyed manager of the Rails
ton 1ronworks, was of unsound mind
when he made his will, Mrs. Gladys
Richardson, the widow, yesterday car
ried out her expressed intention of fill
ing contest to the will. She also
made application for an allowance of
$500 month from the estate, setting
up that she has no property of her
own and Is wholly dependent upon the
estate OF her husband for maintenance.
Judge Coffey set Friday, October 16. as
the date for hearing both matters.
Richardson made his will on Septem
Der Ill days before he killed himself
by drinking cyanide. To his nephews
Dan Erskine Egerton and Seymour Egg
erton, he left about $4,000 each, de-
vising the residue of his estate, esti-
mated at $4,000, to his widow H. j.
Ralston of San Francisco and Floyd w.
Munday of New York were named in
the will as executors, and on September
II Ralston applied for letters tesla
mentary. His application was to have
been heard yesterday, but Mrs. Richard
sons opposition to the probate of the
VIII caused q continuance to October 16.
The contest OF the widow is on the
ground that the instrument filed is not
really will. because "at the time when
1t is alleged the said instrument was
signed and executed, and for some time
prior thereto, the said Erskine Richard
son was of unsound or disposing mind
and was not competent to make a will"
She asks that the court decree Rich
ardson died intestate.
In case the will is broken the two
nephews will get nothing. The only
heirs at law of Richardson are his wife
and his mother, Julia Ralston of Illi-
nols, between whom the estate would
be divided in the proportions prescribed
by law. The nephews,- notwithstand-
ing this, refused to discuss the subject
OF a compromise and a more equitable
distribution of the estate.
