If this daughter Is discovered Kindregan's estate will Of course go to her. that Is, all that Is left Of 1t by the time she Is found. To ascertain whether she is living 1t will take considerable time and | expense.
 Mclaughlin was partner of Kim. dregan in the silversmith business in the days preceding the civil war and Mary Cahill had for some time been looked upon as Kindregan's sweet heart But suddenly she had him ar- rested and lodged in the Tombs prison In New York and there, to avert further scandal the couple were married. Soon after 1t is de- posed by Mclaughlin daughter was born to them. What became of the mother and child or if the lat- ter Is among the living is more than Mclaughlin can tell. This deposition throws new and curious light on the claims of all those who allege re- iatlonshlp with the deceased. | It will be remembered that some days before his death Kindregan in- formed one of his best friends, Judge George H. ,Cowell, that he had not relative living, but scarce was ms body resting in the earth than relations from all quarters cropped | up.
