ACCUSES GUARDIAN
OF DODGING DUTIES
Friend of Charles Tilton De-
clares His Incompetent
Widow Is Neglected
Petition Asks for Removal of
Ida Killey, Who Has Charge
of the Estate

Charges that Ida A. Killey had neg
lected her duties as guardian of the
person and estate of Mrs. Chloe Tilton,
politician, who was once surveyor of
the city and county of San Francisco,
were filed with the superior court yes
terday. and Judge Coffey cited the
guardian to appear January 81 and
show cause why she should not be re-
moved.
Mrs. Tilton has an estate worth up
ward of $4,000. She is an inmate of
the state asylum at Napa, but DR..
Elmer E. Stone, medical superinten-
dent of the institution, states that her
mental health has been sufficiently re-
stored to make it possible for her to
leave the asylum at once, provided she
be placed in the care of a nurse.
The charges against the guardian
We're made by Louis Hammersmith, a
member of the Odd Fellows board of
relief, who stated that he was friend
of Charles Tilton for 21 years and had
interested himself in the circumstances
of Tilton,s widow since December II,
1909. Hamrersmith said that he had
visited the asylum and talked with
Mrs. Tilton. and was convinced that it
would be for her best interests that
she should be removed from the
asylum.
Hammersmith complained that Ida
Killey had never filed any account of
her guardianship nor any statement of
her receipts and expenses as guardian.
Although the records of her appoint
ment were destroyed in the fire of
April. 1906, she has taken no measures
to have them restored.
As well as being guardian of the
estate of Mrs. Tilton Ida Killey is ad-
ministratrix of the estate of Charles
Tilton, and it is charged that she has
also failed to restore these records.
Her interests are adverse to those of
Mrs. Tilton, and it is necessary that
another guardian be named by the
court to bring suit for accounting
against the guardian, Hammersmith
says.

HALFBREED MURDERER
FIGHTS FEDERAL TRIAL
Seeks to Remove Case to State
Courts

Joe Donnelly, the Indian halfbreed
held on two charges of murder in the
klamath reservation, filed a demurrer
through his attorneys yesterday in the
hope of removing his approaching trial
from the United States circuit court
to the state courts.
The demurrer applies to the second
indictment, the killing of white mer-
chant named Chapman. When either
the murderer or murdered are OF other
than Indian blood, the demurrer states,
the federal courts lose Jurisdiction as
to crimes done on Indian reservations.
The point will be argued before
Judge Van Fleet next Monday.
