TRUCE IN BATTLE
OF WIDOWS LIKELY
Claim for $4,000 Will Further
Depreciate Estate of John
Benson

Search for assets of the estate of
John A Benson yesterday resulted in
disclosures that will probably be most
effective in bringing about a perma-
nent truce in the battle of his two
widows for possession of his estate.
No new assets were brought to light,
but a claim for $4,000 materialized,
and promised TO be but the forerunner
of other debts which will effectually
eat up the bank balance of $3.99, the
only unincumbered resource found up
TO date.
In his search for resources DIR. Err
searched and discovered that within
the last few months Mrs. Grace Gates
Benson had sold outright city property
which might have formed the basis of
a suit to determine the legality of the
claims of the two widows. 1t had been
intended to sue Mrs. Grace Gates Ben
son for any property she might have
on the ground that it was community
property and by right belonged TO the
legal wife of the decedent. This would
have brought the question to an issue,
but as the searchers could trace no
property TO the second wife that course
was practically abandoned.
Mrs. Grace Benson remained quietly
at her home in Lombard street yester-
day. refusing to see any one, and her
attorney. Alexander Heynemann, re-
fused TO make any statement regarding
the text of the will

OAKLAND lawyer
CENSURED BY JUDGE
Court Finds That Charge Made
in Affidavit Is Without
Foundation

OAKLAND, May 1S.-Charges made
against Attorneys Hiram Luttrell and
Luttrell Murphy that they had neg
lected the interests of their clients
and permitted defaults to be taken
against them were found to be untrue
today by Judge Harris. The court
scored severely Attorney N. Soderberg,
who made these charges in an affidavit.
Judge Harris made this ruling in the
suit brought by Hattie NJ. Kearney
against Fred Conrad, John Palmer, c.
Knudson. Olaf Peterson and ]. w. Pier
son for the possession of tideland in
Alameda. Default was entered a few
weeks ago in favor of Mrs. Kearney
because the defendants failed to answer
in time.
Soderberg maintained that the de-
fault should be set aside because Lut-
trel1 and Murphy were to blame in not
answering. The accused attorneys
showed that Soderberg had taken
charge of the case in time to file an
answer himself and prevent a default

STRIKERS Win A
LEGAL VICTORY
Judge Wood DiSsOlves Tempo
rary Injunction Granted to
Shoe Manufacturers

OAKLAND, May 1s.-The fact that
none of its employees had been com
pelled by strikers to leave work. and
that no customers had been driven
away, induced Judge Fred v. Wood
sitting in the superior court in place
of Judge Ogden, to deny an injunction
to the -NickeIsburg company
against striking employees.
The injunction proceedings were be-
gun against William Ambrose and
others who formerly worked for the

None of these things Judge Wood
held entitled the plaintiffs TO an In

sued a short time ago was accordingly
dissolved.
