BRODERICK—JUDGMENT OF THE LOWER COURT AFFIRMED. WASHINGTON, June 16, 1875, The following decision has been delivered by the Supreme Court :— No. 144 Jotun Kieley and Mary Kieley, his George Wilson and Ana Wilson, his wale, and Elle: Lynci, appellants, vs. Jonn A. McGlyno et al.— | Appeal from the Circuit Court for the District of | California. Alter reciting the statements of fact contained in the bill and the grounds of the defendants de- murrer Mr, Justice Bradley delivered the opinion | of the Court, of which the following is a sylla- H bus:— A court of equity has not jurisdiction to avold a willor to set aside the probate thereof on the ground of fraud, mistake or forgery. this being within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of probate, Nor will a court of equity gi if oy @ trust 1p favor of # third person, alleged to ve de- V8. Ed. | the Court of Probate coula afford relief by reiusing probate of the wili in whole or in part. The same rule applies to devises of real estate | of which the courts o! jaw have exclusive jarisdic- | tion, except iu those States im which they are sub- | jected to probate jurisdiction, | It seems that where the Courts of Probate have no jurisdiction, or where the pertod fur its rurther exercise has expired and no lacnes are atiribut~ able to the tnjarea party, Courts ot Equity wiil, without disturoing tne operation of the will, in- terpose to give relief to parties injured by a fraudulent or forged will against those who are tn possession of tne decedent’s estate its proceeds, mala fide, or without con- sideration. But suco relief will pot be granted to parties wno are in laches, as where, from ignorance of the testator’s death, they made no effort to obtain relief untit eignt or nine years after the probate or nis wil. Lgaorance of a fraud | committed, which is the ordinary excuse for ae- lay, does not apply in such a case, especially when w Were puolicly and geveraliy known at the domicile of the testatur shortly after nis death, While alterations in the jurisdiction im the State courts cannot avect the equitapie jurisdiction of the Circu.t Jourts of the United States so long as tne equitable rights of them- selves remain, yet an eniurgement of equitable rights may be administered vy the Circuit Courts as well as by the courts of the State.

Some two weeks ago in/ormation was received by Superintendent Walling that a maa r the basement of No, 33 West Fourth sireet was carrying on an extensive swindling business of the meanest character, Ihe modus operandi was as follows :—The swindler would insert an aver. tisement in the Dewspapers for an office boy.

MURDER IN JERSEY CITY. 4 WOMAN POISONED BY HER ALLEGED PARA- mouR, Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, the at- tention of Sergeant McKaig was called to the case | ofa woman who was lying in a serious condition in a reer building on Sussex street, Jersey City. Sbe was jtound to be suffering from violent Spasms. The sergeant, leaving an officer in charge, summoned medical attendance, When the physician arrived the spasms bad abated, and he, mistaking the nature of the case, ordered a dose of castor oll. The woman swallowed the draught, and became worse. She told the officer that her name was Mary Falion, and that she had been poisoned by Joun Mo- ran. He had called to see her the provivus night, and bronght with nim two botties of ale. Only a lew seconds elapsed alter si Wailowed the draught when she exclaimed that she was pois- oned, The oMcer had per removed to the City Hospital, where death put an end to her suffer- ings a few nours afterward. The glass: from Which she drank the ale was taki to Poitce Headq ers, and a@ thick sediment of Paris green was found in it. The police went in search of Moran to his boarding house, at the corner of Steapen and Washington streets, and he was Joundin bed. He was taken to the First precinct Station house and placed toa cell. He was not asked avy questions on the way, nor did he make any strong protest against the arrest. At eight o'clock he was taken before Justice Davis who suid to him, “You are charged with ad- ministering poison 10 Mrs. fallou.” To this the accused replied that he did know anything about 1%, “But,” said the Justice, “sne hus just died, 1am wiormed by the onicer.” At this aunounce- Ment Moran vecame suddenly pale and nearly fainted, He Was thereupon taken back to his cell. He 13 about Lwenty-aix years oi age, while the de- ceased was about lorty. it appears that she left ire- | land some years ago, taking witn her three children and leaving two behind with her husbanu, These two children she afterward brought te this coun- try, but her husband never came out, She kept a boarding house in Jersey City, and among tue boarders was Moran, about whose intimacy with her there are grave rumors. At leng.h she gave up the boarding house aud procured em- ployment in wasbing the cars on the Central Rall. Toad, Moran sought new quarters in the board- ing house where he was arresied. Receutly there was adisacreement between tnem, Mrs. Falloa charging him with deserting her and tney had frequent quarrels. Up to these aifferences many Ol the neigubors supposed they had been man and wile, Between teu and eleven o'clock on ‘nes lay might Moran called op ner, bringing wito him the two bottles of ale waich were unopened till he en- tered the house. Alter she drank ke le(t the house almost immediateiy and she was attacked with convulsions. Coroner Wheian empanelied a jury and aster the body was viewed the inquest was adjourned till to-morrow evening. Couoty Physician Stout will Make @ post-mortem examination, PROBABLE MURDER IN TRENTON. Another shooting affray took place in Trenton, N. J., early yesterday morning, resulting in the dangerous wounding of a prominent citizen of that city named James I. B. Rice, a physician, the alleged perpetrator being a powerful, stalwart looking man named Sylvester O’Tools. No motive 18 assigned for the deed other than that O'Toole seems to be laboring under tne hallucination that the victim gave him some medicine which pro- duced paralysis. The sober, staid going people of Trenton are much excited over the occurrence, it coming 1n rapid succession after the tragical end of Police Officer Reupp, who was shot about nine days ago. ‘he following deposition of Dr. Rice tells briefly the story of the snooting:—“About half o'clock this morning I heard my door beil ring, and I got up and went to the window and asked who was there, A man was standing at the door, and he said he wanted me to go see bis wile, who was sick. 1 weat down stairs, opened the door and he walked in. 1 recogoizea him as Sylvester O'Toole. He looked me in the eye and came right up to me and said, ‘You are responsible tor my sickness,’ He no sooner said that when be put | nis hand around into his left side pocket, pulled jut @ pistol and put it rigut against my breast, said to bim, ‘DON’T SHOOT.’ He said,I think. the second time, ‘You are re- sponsibie for my sickness,’ and he then shot, I took hold of nim, tried to push him of and got him dowa, and it was then, I think, he shot me in the shoulder, The first sof hit me in the breast L believe I am about to die.” Drs. J. H. Coleman, Waléburg H. Coleman, Wool- verton, Leavitt. Bodine and Green were at once summoned. They examined the wolinds, a de- scription of whichis as follows:—There are two wounds—the first on the leit side, about an inch avove the nipple aud a quarter of an inca towara the breastbone; tle second wound was caused by ball entering the leit part of the shoulder, blade and lodging somewhere in the back. | Were three shots fired, tue second one witout effect. Itseems probaple that the bullet did not penetrate the chest. ‘Ine pistol was eid close to the body when the snots were fired. as the shirt Was stainea with powder. Taere is no evicence t the lung Was penetrated. There was no ex- Piration of blood, no diMculty o! breathing, and the action of the heart 1s periectly regular, | The victim can talk long sentences without pausin for breath, aud the probabilities are tnat he ma. recover. O'foole was drought before a police justice, when the deposition wasreadtonim. He said, in response to the Coort. “| plead guilty to shooting Dim not with intent to kill. Had I so desired i¢ would have been an easy matter to do so.” Hi was then formally committed to the County Jail to watt the action of the Grand Jury at the next Octoder Term of the Court of Oyer and Termuner, He 1s about thirty-three years of age, over six feet io height, possessed of a large mu-cular frame, Wears a black mustacne but no whiskers, anu he ‘was respectably attires. He ti bower maker by rofession, and has worked jor @ number of years in Trenton. His reputation has been ulways good.
