of fraudulently influencing aged Mrs.
Ellen p. Clark to deed property at
Peralta and Third streets to him were

a value of about s2,500.
With Doctor Alexander are named as
defendants Peter Market and Anton

Mrs. Clark was i'll in a hospital in San
Francisco and of enfeebled mind she
transferred the property successfully to
Market, to the Wrankoviches and to
Doctor Alexander, each transfer being
made with the understanding that the
grantee should take care of the prop
erty.
1t was in April. 1909. the administra-
trix of Mrs. Clarks estate declares,
that Doctor Alexander induced her to
have the property finally transferred
from Wrankovich to him. Mrs. Clark
was then on her deathbed at the San
