 Suit for Estate

Louisville, March 26.-Intimate details oi the life of Louis Philip Ewald. late iron master of St. Louis and Louisville, which
 he devoted painstaking efforts and a vealed today. almost five years after his death, during trial of the suit brought by Ellen J. Golden, CT, Ewald, by which she seeks to establish dover rights in Ewald's estate, alleging she was his com mon law wife
 Ewald's estate was estimated to be worth about s4,0o0,00o He wiled s150OO each to nine brothers and sisters, most of whom live in St. Louis, and the remainder to Ellen Golden's three children, whom Ewald adopted. The woman is suing for judgment for half the personal prop erty and a widows interest in the realty, aggregating approximately s2,OOo,0O0.
 Common Law Marriage
 The plaintiff on the witness stand to- day testified that the alleged common law marriage between herself and Ewald took place in St. Louis in March, 1890. Prior to leaving St. Louis to take up her resi- denee in an elaborate home bought for her by Ewald, in an exclusive residence sec tion of this city, she lived in Williams port, Pa, Pittsburg, Washington, Chicago and Denver.

It was brought out that he frequently had s2,- 00 QUO at time on deposit in St Louis banks.
 So great was his desire for obscurity hat he seldom went outside his home or office except in cab, even when he de- sired to go only a block or two. Soon after Ellen Golden came to Louisville in he nineties, evidence at the trial dis ,losed, Ewald took her name and was lnown in the neighborhood as John P. iolden' For the purpose of greater se- 'lusion Ewald purchased a large, costly next tp the no n ba ;y, stalled Ellen Golden and kept it vacant
 The trial of the womans suit for part 'f Ewald's fortune is expected to continue Or a week.
