Disruption Of Proceedings.
New Petition to DispIace Other but
Hearing Is to Proceed Testimony.

Alfred Me, June ban interesting
legal situation developed today at tho
hearing on the will of Mrs. Sarah Bull,
widow of the noted violinist. Counsel
for Mrs. Olea Bull Vaughn brought up
a new question of the legality of the
petition upon which the hearing has
been held. Affidavits connected with
the petition are admitted to have been
witnessed in Boston by Maine law
yer acting as justice of the peace. 1t

petition therefore has no legal stand

For time the matter threatened to
disrupt the proceedings. but Judge
Hobbs finally ruled that the hearing
proceed under the petition until July
5. by which time a new petition must
be filed to displace the other. 1t is
planned to take new dispositions in the
case and with the filing of the second
petition to have the witnesses who
have already testified simply swear
that their testimony is true.
Despite the several interruptions
caused by the legal tangle, much tes-
timony was heard today from Jos. G.

Bulls relations with a Japanese in
whom she was interested. she took
this Japanese to her home, the Studio

some time, and then had others come

was an important matter and ma

tanned temporarily Mr.. Thorp's request
that the letter be not read in open
court, and ordered it brought before
him in private chambers tomorrow
morning. He will then pass upon its
admissibility.
Mr.. Thorp was questioned at length
regarding Mrs. Bulls estate. as to
whether he consulted with her con-
corning investments and whether he
had given her any receipts for securi-
ties in his possession and under his
care. He did consult with her regard

so much evidence is being put in at
the hearing in regard to Mrs Bulls

Whipple of counsel for the contest
ants today stated in court that it was
very important to the case and had
much effect.
He wanted TO show how completely,
he said, Mr.. Thorp dealt with Mrs.

edge. He asserted that a persons
conduct at a particular time is of

how little he consulted her, also how

it.

CALLAHAN in PRISON.
Marshal Macl1ey Will Take Wichita
Man to Leavenworth.

John Callahan. convicted for COM
pllcity in the Wichita postage stamp
graft is unable to provide the re-
quired $4,000 bond and must spend his
time in the federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth, pending his appeal to
the United States supreme court w.
II. Mt~ckey, United States marshal, left
today for Wichita and tonight will
take Callahan to the penitentiary.
When Callahan was convicted in
Wichita several days ago, he was sem
fenced to serve a term of five years in
the federal penitentiary. He, with
Banker Naftzger, served notice of APP
peal Naftzger Immediately qualified
a bond, but Callahan was unable to
provide bail and must spend his time
In the penitentiary pending the final
disposition of the case. While no
definite announcement has been made
of the matter, it is rumored in the fed
era1 building today that Callahan s
and the convicted man will immediate
ly start serving his sentence.
At the time Callahan, Naftzger,
Burt and others were arrested in con-
nection with the wholesale dealings in
postage stamps, Callahan was under
bond pending an appeal on D charge
of bank robbery. The federal authori-
ties were wise. They saw to it that
Callahan was unable to provide bond
under the new charge and this took
state. An attempt was made to Sc
cure the possession of Callahan when
in November the supreme court sus-
tanned the decision of the lower court
and said he must serve his sentence.
But the federal authorities refused to
release Callahan for this purpose.
Burt, the former Wichita chief of
police, was the only member of the
gang who secured immunity. After
he had been sentenced to a term in
the penitentiary by Judge Pollock,
Harry j. Bone. district attorney, inter-
ceded with George w. Wickersham.
United States attorney general. and
secured Burt's release. This action
was taken to make good a promise by
persons in the district attorneys office,
promising Burt immunity if ne would
testify against the other members of
the gang. Pollock ignored the agree
ment and sentenced the entire gang to
terms in the federal penitentiary.
1t was Callahan and Naftzger whom
the district attorney was particularly
anxious to land behind the bars. If
Callahan decides to surrender and ac-
cept sentence, only Naftzger will be
left to fight the battle. Other mem
bers of the gang were taken to the
penitentiary last week.

Mary Adelaide Moore, the daughter of
a Philadelphia druggist, was married to
Charles r. Yerkes. a lti-millionaire
railroad operator of Chicago. 1t was 10
years later that the couple separated.
Upon the death of her husband four
years ago she received, it is said, more
than 100000 as her portion of his
estate, and within IL months she was
married to Wilson Miner, a New York
playwright. 1t was barely a week later
that they separated and divorce pro-
ceedings followed, which she won.
She returned to live in the seclusion
of the Yerkes mansion until it was soil
by the executors and she then moved
to the Madison avenue house, in which
she died.
At the deathbed when the end came
were Mrs. Yerkes' three sisters, Mrs.

of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Charles Sims
