mony of Mrs Marie Millar, said to be

the room in which the crime was COM
mitted. Mrs. Millar denies being a
clairvoyant, but says that she has
previously been made aware of her
psychic powers.

hour at the Key Route station,
Twenty-second street and Broadway,
several hours after the murder, and
for whom the police have been search

Route inn. Wills said he and Mrs.

SUIT ENDS
G0PCEV|C
LOVE
Millionaire Who inherited Es-
tate of Wife Charged With
Breach of Contract

The Gopcevic brothers, scions of the
royal house of Servia, through the
Montenegrin branch-who for many
years have been noted for their affec-
ton toward each other-have fallen
out. The tale is told in a suit filed
in the superior court, and back of the
domestic wrangle lies the romance
which resulted in the marriage of
Milos NJ. Gopcevic to Miss Harry
Floyd. who. when she died. left him
the fortune of 100000 which she
brought to Milos when she fell in love
with him as a motorman in San Fran
cisco.
The plaintiff in the suit is Bozo M.
Gopcevfc, recently returned from the
war in the Balkans, eldest brother In
the Gopcevic family, who claimed that
he had contract with Milos that he
should receive 800 a month, home
and clothing for the remdainder of
his life. He alleges Milos had failed
to live up to the contract, that there
is $500 due rim, with interest; that
his feelings were damaged to the
extent of $4,000 by the alleged breach
of contract, and that he is entitled to
$50. 900 exemplary damages.
The complaint of Bozo deals with
the history of the Gopcevic family
from the time the brothers were born
in exile in Dalmatia. Bozo says that
he is the eldest brother. and that in
accordance with the customs of his
country, the eldest, as head of the
family, received business training.
He alleges that before Mrs. Cop
cevic died, in 1904, she asked him to
hoonrao hucipaSc aOaDt her luS-
band He agreed and the contract
was entered into. he says, but broken
in 1911 by Milos. Bozo declares he
is practically destitute. whereas his
brother has a big estate in Lake
county and has married a second time.
