WILL OF DR.. GOODWIN
FILED FOR PROBATE
WIDOW MADE EXECUTRIX AND
SOLE 1EGATEE
Testator Died Two Days After Mar
riage and instrument Was Exc
cuted When He Lay on
Deathbed

The will of DR.. David M, Goodwin,
who died September IL, was filed yes
terday for probation in the superior
court by attorneys representing Mrs.
Catherine A. Goodwin, the widow, who
is named as executrix and to whom is
left the entire property, consisting or
clothing, surgeons tools and small
amount of money, the total being
placed at $780, The will expressly pro-
Vides. that no other person shall par
take of the estate, and Mrs. Goodwin
as executrix is not required to give
bond.
DIR. Goodwin was rs years old, and
his wife, whom he married two days
prior to his death, is twenty-five years
his junior. Death occurred at their
apartments, 639 South Grand avenue,
and is said to have resulted from a
nervous breakdown following legal pro-
ceedings In which he was under indict-
ment by the federal government in con-
nection with alleged land frauds in
Oregon. He was purported to be
wealthy, his fortune being estimated
at one time at 100000.
The names of Frank N. Holmes and
Will D. Gould appear as subscribing
witnesses to the will. The paper was
signed by Dr. Goodwin while on his
deathbed, and shows evidence of ex-
IRENE nervousness on the part of the
dying man.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO Sept. 1s-The wheat prices were
the highest of the crop today. At the opening
the market gave no promise of its higher as
pect prices being off fractIonally on the heavy
and the good weather. Later however, Can
ada discovered that her climatic conditions
were unsettled, and Liverpool failed to follow
the decline this side yesterday. Traders IN
consequence turned their attention to the ex.
port situation and found that 1t was GOOD. IL
was reported that all offerings from the sea-
board, Kansas City and Duluth, aggregating
10000 bushels over night. had been taken
aboard. Under this stimulus prices started
upward and passed previous high marks.
Added bull fervor came from cholera reports
from Russia. 1t was calculated that Ger
many and thu Mediterranean ports might nave
to close their wharves to Russian wheat 10
avoid the epidemic, The southwest contrip oeo
a mite of bullish news by wafning the trade
that dry weather would restrict the area OF
winter wheat seeded this fall incidentally,
II was noted that primary receipts aor o me ne
week broke all previous records by 2,O0O,0OO
bushels but the bears were unable to make
this factor q telling one.
Fine weather for the maturing crop and
more raiding of the September delivery de-
pressed corn prices at the outset, but shorts
by the wheat bulge and the coarser cereals
closed firm, with December UP sc. The cash
M1Rmarket was Arm.
The oats market was quiet AFFAIR." over
Swallowed by the corn and wheat pits. Prices
worked higher In sympathy with the other
grains, December closing &c up
The corn strength and support from packers
stimulated the provisions market and closing

NEW YORKsSTOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-stocks failed to hold
the recovery which wau enjoyed yesterday, al
though there was some early extension Of the
recovery today Later In the session the most
active and prominent stocks sold at the lowest
prices OF the week. The violent relapse was
due to renewed suspicion that stocks were be-
ing distributed by the powerful speculative
party that has been credited with the practical
control OF the market for weeks past. the
selling was In full force when the market
closed, and at the lowest prices Of the week
The political scare which has been ascrfped
az factor in the market ever since the Maine
election result became known on last Tuesday
came into full discussion again. The as
closures pointing to the measures taken IN the
past on behalf Of the Standard OIL company
officials to influence political and Legislative
action in the interest of that eorpiration were
regarded with apprehension in the hnanciai
district as threatening to turn the campaign
discussion and influence into those ohannels
The speculative sentiment showed itselr sensi-
tive to the threat Of inhaming public opinion
again In the direction Of hostility toward cor
porations. The mercantile agency reviews en-
phasizing the moderate pace OF the progress
making toward recovery in commercial anairs
served TO enforce the feeling OF reserve toward
the maintenance OF prices OF securities at q

TO COMPREHEND
McComas, in Charge of Prosecution,
Expresses Belief Defendant Was
Sane When He Killed
His Son

The trial of Henry J. Duffy, charged
with the murder of his son, Fred Duff
ty, August 10, was set yesterday by
Judge Jamison for November II. Duffy
appeared in court, his body quivering
as with ague. He seemed unable to
comprehend the proceedings and paid
no attention to what was said.
1t was decided yesterday by Dufty's
attorneys not to request jury trial
for insanity, as in that case the ques-
ton of his mental condition only at
the time of trial could be decided, while
in trial for the crime with which he
Is charged the state of his mind at the
time the deed was committed may be
settled.
Deputy District Attorney McComas,

presses the belief that Duffy was sane
at the time he killed his son.
