WOMAN'S CLAIM
AGAINST ESTATE
DECLAREDFRAUD

Declaring that the claim of
Mrs. Margaret Snyder of Rock
ford, ILL.,, TO the estate of John ID.
Roberts, prominent pioneer of Pu-
get Sound, was zone Of the most
glaring frauds ever perpetrated
In the Pierce county courts" SUI
perior Judge Clifford threw the
case out of court at noon today
and urged that measures he taken
at once to place Mrs. Snyder in
Jail.
George Roberts, only living
heir to the Roberts estate, against
whom Mrs. Snyder made charges
of fraud, and who made an en-
ergetic fight against the woman,
announced today that he would
proceed to Illinois at once and
ask for her arrest. Mrs. Snyder
is an imposter, the court decided,
who attempted TO prove a false
claim of heritage from Roberts.
Mrs. Snyder is a clairvoyant
and poetess. Shortly after the
death of Roberts, while the estate
was being settled In the local
courts, the woman came forward
with declarations that she could
prove that she was the daughter
of Roberts daughter. Her asser-
ton created scandal, because
old residents of Tacoma announce
ed positively that Roberts had al
ways been a bachelor.
Mrs. Snyder caused the hearing
to be delayed, and brought forth
evidence which she said would

daughter-had died and left her
in the hands of foster-parents
She knew nothing of her relation

til after his death.
George Roberts, brother of the
pioneer began bitter fight
against the imposter. The case
came up for trial this week and
Mrs. Snyder remained In Illinois.
represented here only by her at
torneys. 1t was shown during
the trial that the woman had
made a practice of putting In
fraudulent claims against rich es-
tates and had been caught at the
game once or twice before In the
east.
A deposition was read in court
this morning from Edward
Brown, former mayor of Rock
ford, in which he said that Mrs.
Snyder was a dangerous woman
and that she had once forged a
note for 5000 against the estate
of Selwyn Clark, wealthy resident
of Rockford. claiming to be an
Legitimate child of Clark. II
was also testified in the trial that
Mrs. Snyder had made a business
of unearthlng scandal about per-
sons in order to blackmail them
with her knowledge. The Rob-
erts estate In Tacoma is valued
at 100000 and Mrs. Snyder at

tate through her assertions that

made to send him to Walla

The prisoner became suddenly in

removed to- the county hospital,

eddy affirmed that the courts
were not giving him square
deal, and begged that an opera
ton be made ON his Skull, where
a piece of bone was pressing
against the brain.
The operation was performed,
and Mooney was returned to jail.
This week, however, DIR. Bala-
banOff examined him and ordered
him returned to the hospital, an
nouncing that Moneys life was
in danger. The ex-convict gradu-
ally grew more weak, and yester-
day lapsed into unconsciousness,
dying at 8 o'clock today. Until
the very last minute of conscious
ness the piisOner-patient reiter-
ated his statement that he was
not a criminal.
