SAY WOMAN TRIED
TO BRIBE WITNESS
Amateur Detectives Hide in House
and AIIege They Overheard At
tempt to Influence One Who
Was to Testify

That Mrs. Emily S. Watson had en-
deavored to bribe a witness to testify
in her behalf in the legal fight instf-
tuted by Mrs. j. T. Butler to compel
Mrs. Watson to include ST., 900 in an in
Ventory of the estate of her deceased
husband, John H. Watson, was the tes-
timony of Dudley Robinson, young
attorney, in the probate division of the
superior court yesterday.
Mrs Watson, in opposition to Mrs.
Buffers claims, says Watson gave her
the $4,000 outright shortly before his
death. Mrs. Butler, however contends
the money should be regarded as part
of the estate, a portion of which be-
longs to her, as the daughter of Wat
son.
Robinson told the court yesterday
that he and J. T. Butler, husband of
the contestant played the part Of anna
teur detectives the night of December
21; that they secreted themselves in a
room at the home of Bert Watson,
brother of the deceased, at 223 North
Hill street, and listened while Mrs.
Watson asked her brother-in-law to
take the witness stand, say everything
he could in her favor and leave out
anything against her.
Watson, according to the witness.
wanted a check drawn in his favor for
the work. This Mrs. Watson refused tc
do, offering, however, to give him a
$500 diamond pin as security for her in
debtedness to him. Watson himself
was on the stand several days ago and
told substantially the same story as
related by Robinson yesterday. A few
days later his statements were denied
by Mrs. Watson.

to Watson is said to have been part of

ON HELLMAN RESIDENCE
Promptly Set OFF Alarm and Start
Bells Ringing Throughout the
Premises-FIee Precipi-
lately in Automobile

Burglars, travelling in a big covered
touring automobile, made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to force an entrance
into the residence OF Mrs. Herman w.
Hellman, 958 South Hill street, shortly
before II o'clock last night.
The big touring car drew up oppo-
site the Hellman residence and two
men got out. After seeing there was
no one in sight, they made their way
to the side Of the residence and pro-
ceeded to force open a window lead
ing to the library. They succeeded in
starting the SASH but the moment it
moved burglar alarm was set off
and number of bells began ringing,
which frightened the men away.
A servant in the house saw the men
as they ran from the window and
jumped into the machine, which in
stantly started off at top speed. l. w.
Hellman telephoned an alarm to the
police station and Motorcycle Police
men Humphrey, Coe. Harlan and Dor
sey were sent to the scene. They ar
rived in less than three minutes, but

JUDGES DISCUSS NEEDS OF
ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENTS

A meeting of the judges of the superior
court was held in the chambers of Presiding
Judge James yesterday afternoon to consider
the proposed increase in the number of court
departments and express their views in the
matter for the edifcation of legislators who
are seeking information on the subject
The meeting was called by Judge James in
response to a request received from Assembly
man Otto Rech yesterday. While the judges
have never asked for increase in the
number of departments and do not ask for the
additions now, those present at the meeting
were emphatic in expressing the opinion that
an increase was not only desirable but abso-
lutely necessary.
Comparisons were made of the number of
cases being filed at present with those re-
ceived in the courts a year ago, and the
figures show that there were 1000 more civil
cases placed on the records in 1908 than in
the preceding year. Until three years ago. it
was stated, the judges were able to keep the
setting of cases down to sixty days ahead
of the time Of filing. At present it is irnpos-
sfble to set cases for a date inside of eight
months in some departments. The increase
is mostly in civil cases, the number of Grim
inal and probate matters showing no material
change during the past year.
