FOUR KILLED
 IN BUDAPEST RIOTS

Budapest, May 23-This city was almost. in a state of siege, tonight Great columns of troops were massed on the public squares and at every point of vantage and the government was determined to put down with an iron hand all riotous demonstrations. 's' Up to o'clock tonight, four per- sons had been reported killed out right and 150 wounded, some of whom will die.
 Today's riots were continuation of the trouble that followed the de- feat of the opposition in the cham Der of deputies, yesterday, when Count Tisza. bitter opponent of uni- versal suffrage, was elected presi- dent. The Socialist council called a general strike of all union workmen excepting the municipal employees as 8 protest.
 The crowd marched on parliament three times, today, and each time the soldiers charged. Some of the timid members appealed to Count Tisza to suspend the proceedings.
 Parliament is not ane hysterical old woman and will remain in session" !" .fet said ~
 < So serious was the rioting growing out of the general strike called by the Socialists that at o'clock, to- night, 10000 additional troops were or- dered on duty Mobs are traversing the city breaking windows, demolish- ing and burning trolley cars and erecting barricades across the prin> cipal thoroughfares.

WITNESSES FOR
 DEFENSE HEARD !
 IN GRIFFIN SUIT

Those who are opposing John Grif- fin and his. wife in their attempt to collect as $2. 900 claim against the Mary Ann Griffin estate. had their innings in the, Superior court today when the action of MT. and Mrs. Griffin against Lawrence J. CHI. administrator, was resumed. Griffin's claim was disal- lowed by the administrator who found that Griffin had already been given property worth. 5000 by his mother. If the claim had been allowed there would be only 5000 personal estate left and there are two other heirs.
 Miss Rose Kenna of 284 Olive street, said this morning that she lived for several years on Austin street in the flat above Mary Ann Griffin. AL though John Griffin and his wife claim they took care of the old lady for years before her death, the wit ness said she never remembered see ing the Griffins doing anything for the old lady. Miss Kenna contra dicted Mr. Griffin's testimony that he had painted several rooms by declar- ing that only one room was painted and Mary Ann Griffin did that her. self
 William J. Lee testified that he knew Mary Ann Griffin. He had frequent ly seen her at Sacred Heart church, where he is collector. She told the witness about giving the Austin street house to her son John, but declared she had to take money out of the bank to pay taxes on the property.
 Mrs. Mary. Hughes of 586 Warren street said she saw Mrs. Griffin fre- Quently before the old lady's death last year. The testatrix talked about giving the house to John. but told the witness, T have a little money in the bank, and that's for Jim's children"
 Sabrina Garrity who lives at Cole man stret and Benham avenue, re- called having heard Mrs. Griffin say, "I have some money in the bank for the orphans"
 The children referred to are the sons of the late James Griffin, a brother of John Griffin. The plain tiff claimed he and his wife had to take care of Mary Ann Griffin be- cause she was in poor health, but sev- eral witnesses said the old lady ap- peared to be able to go about without assistance.
 The trial was still going on at press hour.
