New York, May 2nd.—The de- tails'of one of the most remarkable will cases the New York bar has ever known were given out last night by Mr. Phineas Carboy, of Carboy, Passavant & Cozine, attorneys of New York, Chicago and San Francisco, whose local offices are in the Temple Court. The facts of the case became partially known to the Gazette several months ago, but Mr, Car- boy refused to be interviewed un- til the marriage and subsequent departure for Bermunda yester- day of Wilfred Stennis, whose meteoric career is well known in New York, and Miss Eunice Trevecca. According to Mr. Carboy, a cli- ent, Andrew Meleen, founder of the mining town of that name in the Sierras, died four years ago, leaving an estate of something over $25,- 000,000, and believing himself with- out heirs, willed it to an unknown heir of an only sister of whom he had heard nothing for forty years. The attorneys were enabled to locate Mr. Stennis in New York and after proper identification it was estab- lished that he was the lost heir. He came into the property and was known for three years as the richest yourng man in the metropolis, and at one time was engaged to be mar- ferred. Inquire of A. P. Ritchie, Bemidji, Minn.

Through an attempt at blackmail by one Roger Hews, a former em- ploye of Carboy, Passavant and Cozine, who had ascertained the real facts in the case, it was made known to Mr. Stennis that a child of Meleen’s whom he had supposed dead, was living here in New York under the name of Eunice Trevecca, and what is more remarkable, had been a sweetheart and affianced wife of Stennis before his remarkable rise in the world. According to Mr. Carboy, Stennis immediately gave up the entire estate to Miss Trevecca, refusing even a settlement of a large sum which she desired to make on him. Two months ago, Stennis, who had returned to his former employ- ment as a bookkeeper, was taken ill with a fever and Miss Trevecca hastened to him through his illness, the old spark was revived, ending in their marriage yesterday and de- parture on their honeymoon. Mr. Carboy was kind enough to exhibit to the Gazette representa- tative the papers in the famous case, and the matter seems to be truly a most unprecedented one in the his- tory of the local bar. This is the first publicity that has been allowed in the matter, but Mr. Carboy stated that the entire story had been arranged for the press. under the title of “An Heir To Millions.” BLACKDUCK Blackduck, May 2—(Special corres- pondence of the Pioneer.)

Mr. Bell shows that the state law per- mits trade mark claims to be filed for “the purpose of designating, making known or distinguishing any goods, wares, merchandise or other products of labor.” * Newspaper men in Spokane and other parts of the state are divided in their opinion regarding the decision, it being generally accepted that a newspaper is'a product of labor, rather ‘than.merchandise, and there is much comment that Mr. is merchandise. Bell’s. ruling is based upoh a news- | twice, paper being merchandise. ‘‘Votes For Women” is the makr of a journal to be published in Washington as strikers was driven from town. ASSERTS POISON KILLED SWOPES Expert Testifies in Hyde Trial at Kansas City. DEATHS NOT NATURAL| Dr. Ludwig Hektoen of Chicago, Who Performed Autopsies on the Bodies of Colonel and Chrisman Swope, De- clares That, in His Opinion, Both Men Died From the Effects of Some Convulsive and Paralyzing Poison. Kansas City, May 3.—Answering hy- pothetical questions relating to the deaths of Colonel and Chrisman Swope, Dr. Ludwig Hektoen, the Chi- cago patholegist, said in the criminal court that in his opinion both men dled from the effects of some convul- sive and paralyzing poison. Cyanide of potassium, testified the scientist, was such a drug. Nothing about the vital organs of elther of the Swopes, upon each of Wwhom Dr. Hektoen performed autop- sles, suggested death had resulted from natural causes. Judge Latshaw turned over to attor- neys for Dr. Hyde the letters relating to the Swope analysis which passed between John G. Paxton and Dr. Hek- toen. The court said he had read the missives and had found nothing which would prove of value to the de- fense. In order, however, that Dr. Hyde might have every opportunity to prove his innocence he would give the physician’s attorneys the letters, said the court. A recess was taken to permit the defense to examine the letters. Upon his return to the courtroom Attorney Frank P. Walsh said the re- ports saying there was no strychnine in the contents of the stomach of Margaret Swope or the capsule which Dr. Hyde threw away was not among the papers. Mr. Conkling responded that in so far as he knew the state was not in possession of such a letter. But if he found it he would hand it to the defense. Dr. Calvin Adkins, city physician of Independence, testified as to the condition of Colonel Swope’s body. He did not believe the natural bodily ail- ments would have caused death.

Louisville, Ky, May 2.—In com- menting on the speech of Mayor Gay- nor, Henry Watterson, in an editorial in the Courier-Journal, severely re- bukes the discourtesy shown the per- sonal representative and friend of William Randolph Hearst, who at- tempted to reply to that portion of the criticism of the press aimed directly at the Hearst papers. Of the attitude of the -audience he says: “It refused a hearing to the imme- diate object of his attack. This was clearly discourteous as well as most unjust. Free speech should be denied nowhere. The right of the hand- maiden of freedom, the press, to walk unchallenged the battlements of truth, still survives from that sentiment of chivalry which refused to fire upon an enemy whilst planting a flag.” OUTCOME OF BATTLE STILL IS UNDECIDED Hundreds Killed at Kachanik | Pass, Albania.

Belgrade, May 2.—Dispatches from Constantinople say the Turkish gov- ernment is strengthening the garri- son there in anticipation of a local up- rising in sympathy with the Albanian revolt. The sandjak of Vovi Bazar has Jolned the revolt and thousands of its people are reinforcing the Alban- lans. The outcome of the battle at Ka- chanik pass is still undecided. Late reports say hundreds have been killed in the fighting there. The rebels have taken the towns of Ghilan, Djikova and Ipek, and are thought still to hold Prishtina and Prizrend. Telegraphic communication with the latter towns has been interrupted. An Austrian cruiser and a torpedo boat have been dispatched to the Al- banian coast. It.is announced that they are there merely to protect Aus- trian interests, though the Turkish government is ‘hopeful that Austria may take advantage of the confusion to grab Albania, just as she seized Bosnia and Herzegovina.
