About noon today the body of a colored man was found floating in the Anacostia river near the Pennsyivania avenue bridge. The body was towed ashore and sent to the morgue in the dead wagon. An examination of the body by the police revealed no marks of violence and the face and head of the dead man were thickly covered with mud, making it appear as though the man had fallen or been thrown in the mud head first. When tho body reached the morgue the janitor found in the pockets of the clothing several sand titkets bearing the name A. B. Clark, sand dealer, and i: was thought that the deceased had been in Mr. Clark's employ and had probably fallen from a sand scow. A pocket book in the pocket of the man’s trousers contained seven cents. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer reviewed the body at the morgue this afternoon, and will make closer examination later to see if there are any marks of violence to be found. The doctor 1 id he thought the body had been in the water for about three or four weeks. —_—_—_ SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED. Mystery Over the Fate of a Young Man Who Went From Here to Montana. Mrs. Gray, a widow employed in the govern- ment printing office, is in trouble. She is en- deavoring to ascertain some tidings of her son, Martin Gray, who went from here to Superior, Mont., and secured employment asa étable boss for the fron Mountain Manufacturing Company. In the last letter received from her son in December the mother was informed that he was doing well and was getting good wages. ‘The next she heard was a report that he had committed suicide at Missoula, a town sixty miles east of Superior, and, not having heard from him ’ since’ De- cember, the mother fears that the sad news is too true, While she believes that her son may be dead, sho does not believe the story of the suicide, but is rather of the opinion that he was murdered and robbed. Inspector Hollinberger of the detective corps has been endeavoring to ascertain something of the facts for the distressed mother. The de- scription of the dead man received from the authorities does not tally with the description of Mrs. Gri Inspector Hollinberger, who saw the last let- ter written by the young man, does not believe that he committed suicide, but that be was murdered. He thinks the fact of the mother not hearing from her son after having written as she has is good evidence that he is dead, ——>——_ THE CouRTS. Pronate Covrt—Judge Hagner, Today—Estate of Wm. H.

JEFFRIES, SENATOR AND xIES YOORURES AND OTHERS GIVE EVIDENCE. The Olmstead will case was adjourned yester- @ay afternoon until this morning before the conclusion of the examination in chief of the caveatee, Mr. John F. Olmstead, bad boon reached. After Tax Stan's report closed yos, terday Mr. Olmstead said, referring to the 15th of June, 1859, the day his wife suffered the convulsion, that after returning from their Arive she was about to change her dress to Visit some neighbor, and he suggested that she ought to remain in. It was about 10:30 or 11 o'clock when she became sick. She complained of pains in the bead, and hg at once telephoned to Dr. Sowers. The doctor did not say that it was a convulsion, and when witness told of the drive Dr. Sowers said that he feared it was too much exercise for her. Mrs. Hutchinson was « depositor of over $100,000 in Middleton & Co.'s Bank, as he had learned from Mrs. Ball, WHAT BE ADVISED MRS, RUTCHINSON. Witness having learned something indicating that some of the banks were not sound went to Mrs. Hutchinson and advised that if they had any considerable sum in any one bank it would be safer to deposit it ina number of banks, and suggested that she give checks to Mrs. | Ball and Mr. Ball, but did not suggest a check for himself. They seemed grateiul to him for the information. Their relations were not altogether cordial at the time. The failure of Middleton & Co. was in 1884 The petition filed by Mrs. Olmstead against her mother in June, 1884, calling her to account for the management of the estate, was in cousequence of the Middleton failure, and was, he might say, suggested by the filing of the petition. He suggested it 10 his wife and took the advice of | Mr. Mattingly, having a number of consulta- tions with him, Mrs. Olmstead knew, he said, ‘that €34,000 was included in the $100,000 loss, for he ‘old her. Mr. Olmstead was asked if the Middletons did not goon Mrs, Hutchinson's bond as execu- trix, but Mr. Totten suggested that the best proof was the bond itself. GEN, JEFFRIES A WITNESS. This morning Noah L. Jeffries was called to the stand, the examination of Mr. Olmstead being suspended for the time. Mr. Jeffries said that he was intimately acquainted with the late Hayward M. Hutchinson, and acted as bis attorney. ‘The witness was questioned by Mr. Davis as to the draft of the will drawn by the witness for Mr. Hutchinson. Col. Totten ob- jected and the objection was sustained. The Witness identified Mrs, Hutchinson's will, stat- ing that he bad drawn it. He had known Mr. Olmstead since 1876, and also kuew his wife. He regurded them as a very affectionate couple. To Col. Totten Mr. Jeffries said he had been Mr. Olmstead’s attorney for a number of years, MRK, ALICE K. BROWN, Mrs, Alice K. Brown stated that she had re- sided in the Portland Flats since 1881, and was well acquainted with Mr. and Mra. Olmstead. He was a kind, fond husband and she an affec had beard Mrs Olm- ad express some time previous to her death a determmation to make a will, such as she eventunlly did. ‘To Col. Totten Mra. Brown suid it was about & year or 80 previous to Mrs. Olimstead’s death that she made the remark as to her will, “It was mad ned the witness, “in an idle conversation, such as women indulge in.” “Then you admit, Mra. Brown,” remarked Col. Totten, “that ladies do sometimes indulge im idle talk?” ‘The witness. Dh, yes; frequently.” ADDIE. NASH. ™ Mrs, Addie Nash, the colored servaut of the Oimsteads, was recalled by Mr. Davis for further cross-examinatiou, She said she could read print a littie with glasses, She washanded copy of Tux Star and readalineor two from at. Mr. Olmstead then resumed the stand. He said that Mrs, Hutchinson never asseuted to the claims of his wife. WHY MES, OLMSTEAD FILED HER PETITION. Mr. Olmstead said the fact that D. W. Mid- dleton was on Mrs, Hutchinson's bond of $150,000 as executrix caused bis wife to file the petition in the Probate Court after the fail- ure of Middleton & Co. petition was withdrawn and ‘a bill in equity covering the sume grounds filed. The equity case was still pending. Mrs. Hutch- inson Was mistaken when she said that he (wit nese) went to the National Deposit Company for Mr. Hutchinson's effects. During the inst illness cf Mr. Hutchinson witness was at the house most of the time, sitting up with hima t of every night. At the request of . Hutchinson witness sent for Gen. Jeffries to draw her will, Witness knew nothing of its contents, aud made no inquiries concerning the matter. At the time Gen. Jeffries was with Mr. Hutchinson drawing the will witness was calied into the room to designate the proper- ties held by Mr. and Mrs, Hutchinson. SENATOR D. W. VOORBEES, The examination of Mr. Olmstead was inter- rupted to allow Senator Daniel W, Voorhees and his daughter to testify. The Senator said he had known Mr. Olmstead since 1867. He also knew the first and second Mrs, Olustead, He and his family resided at the Portland Flats at the time the —Olmsteads did. The families were very intimate. From his observation of them he regarded Mr. and | Mrs. Olmstead as an unusually affectionate couple and a particularly happy one. He never saw anything which in the least way indicated that Mrs, Olmstead was, through fear of her husband, under his dominion. The testimony of Mixs Voorhees was to the same effect, she remarking that, bad any one suggested that Mrs. Olmstead was afraid of her husband, she would have laughed at it, ME. OLMSTEAD RESUMES, Again resuming the stand, Mr. Olmstead said he never saw Mr. Hutchinson's box which was taken from the National Deposit Company's safe. Mr. Hutchinson began to talk to him bout the will, when Mrs. Hutchinson came in the room, when nothing more was said. Witness did ‘not hear what was said by Mr. Hutchmson to Mr. Mattingly, as to the con- tents of the will he made. He was at the house when Mattingly came. He knew nothing at the time of the execution of the will of Mrs. Hutchin- son, He was not present at the execution of Mr. Hutchinson's will and did not see it until some months afterward. ‘The will was made April 24, and Mr. Hutchinson died May 10. After he made his will Mr. Hutchinson told witness that he had to make the will, but that he did not want to doit. He never told witness what the contents of the will were, but told him to take care of Katie, the wife of witness, AFTER MRS. HUTCHINSON'S FUNERAL. Mr. Olmstead said that on the way back from the cemetery he made no allusion to the dia- monds referred to.
