WITHOUT BAIL.
Kelley Held for Wattieny Murder New
Years Eve,

Despite the fact that his lawyers
tried to show through their cross
examination Of state witnesses that
he shot and killed Alphonse Wattigny
Jr., in self-defense on the gallery OF
| Pythian Hall, on New Years morn
ing, William E. Kelley was yesterday
committed to the Criminal District
Court without the benefit of bail by
Judge A. NJ. Aucoin, of the Second
City Criminal Court
The case attracted a great crowd
the largest since the trial of Henry
Schroeder for killing John W. Mullen,
and it was with difficulty that the
deputy sheriffs kept order in the court
and the police kept the overflow crowd
in the street from interfering with the
courts work.
Before the case started Judge Au-
coin ordered everyone from the court
room who could not secure a seat, and
these augmented the mob in the street
and at several times the crowd had to
be dispersed, as the talk interfered
with the taking of testimony.
Kelley was represented by Mr.. A. d.
Henriques and Judge R. B. Otero,
while the assistant district attorney
looked after the states end of the
case, assisted by Judge T. j. Ford.
Patrolman Sarbeck and Supernum-
erary Patrolman Jacob Wolverton,
along with Assistant Coroner John A..
Rupp, were the first witnesses for the
state. They told of the investigation
into the shooting, and the arrest of
Kelley, and of how the trouble start
ed.
Louis Wattigny, brother of the
murdered man, was next placed on
the stand. He said that Kelley in
vited his brother out of the hall to
fight following an alteration in the
dressing room. Kelley said to Wat
tigny, Come outside you big
-, and will fix you" Wat
tigny followed Kelley from the hall
and at the door took off his coat. He
and Kelley clinched anu in the scuffle
Kelley pulled his pistol and fired twice
at his brother and then once after

ley had shot him, he jerked the pistol
from him, and held it over his head.
At this time Kelley said to him, Now,
go on and shoot me, you big -

No, l am too much of man Just
then the two were pulled apart, and
my brother said he had been shot, and

ATTACKS BROTHERS WILL.
Miss Emily Magruder filed suit in
the Civil District Court, TO set aside
the will Of her brother, Thomas Ma
gruder. which was probateI on March
16, 1908. The petitioner AYERS that
the purpOrted will of her brother made
his wife. Mrs. Jane Tailor Magruder
his universal legatee and the eXeCu-
trlv Of his succession, and that at her
death the property which she had in
herited passed TO her heirs, Mrs. Bes-
sic Washington, widow of Edward Mo
lisse. and now wife OF Scott Jackson
and Olivia Watkins, wife of John Wat
kins.
The petitioner AYERS that the will is
void for the reason that il puTpOrted

by public act, and the notary did not
read ii to the testatOr, as required by
law, and even if he did read it the
testatOr was so deaf he could not hear
1t; that it was not dictated and taken
down by the notary in the presence Of
three witnesses, as required by law,
and that it was never dictated by the
20 Ia iY,,n of 40
making of the alleged will he was in a
comatOse state. and after the date when
it was made he repeatedly asserted that
he intended to leave his property equal
ly to his wife and his sister. The will
is alleged to have been made before
Joseph Duyigneaud. a notary public, on
July %, 1892, and it Is asserted that
the will is not only void for want Of
form. but that the same was an impO
stion on a deaf, violently suffering and
unlettered person in a comatOse cOndi-
ton, not of sound disposing memory
or judgment at the time the same was
executed. Ii is asked that the will be
set aside, and that the petitioner he de-
clared the sole heir of the testator, and
that in the event 1t is found that the
heirs of Mrs Magruder have disposed
of the property inherited from her,
that they be made to account to the pc
titioner for the proceeds.

SAMUEL M. JARVIS.

Conspicuous among the bankers and sue
cessful financial organizers Of New YORK
CITY stands the name OF Samuel NJ. Jarvis.
II is significant, too that his success has
been gained by means of sound and thor
ough business methods and not by sensa-
tional or at any time questionable financier-
ing.
Mr. Jarvis started out in life with the
Intention of becoming a lawyer With this
in view he was educated. and was admitted
to the bar in 1876 However. he soon found
that his real vocation lay in the world of
finance. and bent mis- energies In that direc-
ton He was closely identified with the
financial development Of the West. with
Il. T. Conklin he was one Of the founders
of the Jarvis Conkln Mortgage Trust Com
pany. in Kansas City. In the early nineties
he came to New York and with Mr. CCnilin
organized the North American Trust Com
pany in 1891. OF This he was made presi-
dent and Mr.. Conklin vice-president
With a far sighted business genius Mr..
Jarvis was the first American iinancier to
invade our newly acquired West Indian
territory. Immediately upon this countrys
occupation of Santiago, during the Spanish
American War, he opened there a branch
Of the trust company, and thereby rendered
important assistance to the United States
government In recognition of his patriotic
services President Mckinley offered Mr.
Jarvis the post of fiscal agent Of the United
States in Cuba. but ne declined the personal
honor. His request that the appointment
be extended to the company was granted,
however, and in 1898 the North American
Trust Company was the first American in
sttutiOn engaged in banking on the island.
BY consolidation ii afterward became the
Trust Company Of America Later Mr..
Jarvis was prevailed upon to accept his
present position rs yce-president Of the
National Bank OF Cuba, fiscal agent and
government depositary of the republic OF
Cuba and dcpositary of the United States
government in Cuba This establishment
OF American banking interests in Cuba at
a time when the annexation of Hawaii, the

braces the property of twenty-four
smaller concerns, covering the United
States from Boston. on the east, to Chi

William Hamilton retired as president

A NEW PHASE OF AN OLD SUBJECT

We all remember the undertaken of our
childhood, OF lugubrious mien and doleful
attire; the gloomy little shop, with It's stin
rows of collins and artificial flowers, syn
onymous with grief, and the doleful prob
lem Of how decently to pay the last sad
rites IL no home was available for ser
vices. The problem Of interment for one
who had died at a hotel or other pubic
place and away from home was without
solution All this Is changed and one OF
the best illustrations OF the adoption OF
conditions and supplying remedy In this
city of surprises is the undertaking estap-
lshment fully equipped with Its own mouse
for all demands.
At Eighth avenue and 18th street there is
a broad. generous five story building occu-
pied by all the adjuncts of modern UNDER
taking. from reception room to chapel The
troubled relative or friend is received In
handsomely finished room whose ricn
bangtngs deep loungng chairs and sub

Greeting is given by the president anu

experience has touched every phase OF
human life, insuring sympathy ana pa

synonymous with the undertaking busi-
ness in the city of New York for three
quarters of a century Is the name OF Ste
phen Merritt. From social personal pusl-
ness it has grown till capped and climaXed
by the great structure at Eighth avenue
and 18th street Always in that neighoor-
hood. the place Of business started IN
Eighth avenue, moved TO 23d street thence
back to its present location. Which can
aptly be taken as the largest and most per-
fectly equipped institution of the kind IN
the evolution Of the undertaking business
The present president, P. w. Radcllile'
familiar with the best traditions or the
place and skilled in all departments OF the
business, is peculiarly and happily rarely
endowed for his responsibilities. To DO
what must be done in the best way 1t can
be done is a motto lived. as well as pro-
claimed, at this unique institution.
To give all equally refined and careful
consideration. whether rich or poor, is a
practice as we'll as contract. TO refinedly
do what necessity requires is principle
as well as a procedure.
