IDENTITY OF MYSTERIOUS
WOMAN is DISCLOSED
Alleged Affianced Wife of Man MUIR
derously Attacked Near Sunol
Is Found

OAKLAND, May S.-The mysterious
woman who has been figuring in the
attempted murder case of William
Winslow near Sunol last Tuesday is
Mrs. Mary Blackburn, who is at present
living with her daughter Mrs. e.
Nathan, at 1879 McAllister street, San
Francisco.
According to the story she told to-
day, she was soon to have married
Winslow and she was with him Mon
day night, the day before he was
brutally beaten with the ak.
Mrs. Blackburn further states that
on Monday night after she and the in
jured man had completed their plans
to be married that he told her that If
anything should happen to him she was
to be his heir.
At that time he showed her certiti-
cate of deposit for $1,000 and a receipt
for $3.50 signed by Twinginham Bros, in
Sunol.
These, she says. Winslow placed in
the breast pocket of a black coat which
he packed away in a suit case but
which have since been found to be
missing.
The presumption is that the assailant
of the man stole them. At Providence
hospital this afternoon the surgeons
said Winslow had but narrow chance
of recovery.

Judge Graham set aside today the di-
vorce obtained by Mrs. Edith Dunphy
from James S. Dunphy, the wealthy
cattleman, which granted her 100000
alimony.
The court also declared the marriage
between the couple null and void, hold
ing that at the time she married Dun

the statutes of that state requiring a
residence of one year.
The divorce she obtained from her
first husband, w c. Coffey, is declared
to have been valid, and her marriage
