The woman is now in an interestice cordition, and confesses that she has done wrong, and that her relations with the young fel- | low were not what they should have been. The cause of the shooting was jealousy. Alter leaving her husband the woman went to live with Harry on the corner of Hill and Valencia streets.

Proof That She Did Not Unduly Influence the Testator’s Mind. Production of an Important Document From the Archives of the Scottish Rite Masons, A genuine sensation was caused in the Probate Court yesterday by the filing of a paper which purports to be the will oi the late Louis F. Reichiing of this City, who died several months ago, leaving an es- tate estimated at that time to be worth about $100,000. The paper was delivered to Deputy County Clerk Northrop by C. E. Gillett of Oakland at the request of ex-Judge John Davis, who isatiorney for George Good- man, special administrator of the Reich- ling estate. The document in which so much inter- est centers reads as follows: In the name of God, amenl I, Louis Frank Reicbling, being of sound mind and memory but knowing the uncertainty ol humau life, do now make and publish this, my last will and testament, that is to say: 1 bequeath sxll my property, both real and personal, 10 my beloved cousin, Lillie H. Theurkauf, the same to be heid in trust for | her by my executor (to act without bonds), F. | Reiciiling, my iather, until she has reached her twentieth year. Louis FRANK REICHLING. Thomas H. Caswell and James 8. Law- son are witnesses to the instrument. This will, the body of which isin the handwriting of Mr. Reichling, was ascer- tained to bave been written by him at the time he was about to take his fourth de- gree in Masonry, and has been kept in the archives of the sociely ever since. Immediately after the death of the tes- tator a will was filed, which, bv its pro- to be the dominating| visions, gave to Miss Cornelia Theurkauf | $10,000, and to the Academy of Sciences | of (his City a magnificent cabinet of mine- | ral specimens. Miss Lillie Theurkauf was |in that instrument named as residuary legatee, and against that wiil a contest was filed by reiatives of the testator, on the ground that it was procurcd by Miss | Lillie by undue influence, and that the testator was ot unsound mind. The pro- duction of the will of 1883, which is more favorable to Miss Liilie Theurkauf than the later will, puts her in a very comfort- | able position. | As no petition was filed with the docu- ment of yesterday, it leaves Miss Liliie | free 1o choose which wili she may ulti- | mately ask to have zccepted as the au- | thentic wish of the testator. If she shoula | withdraw her answer to the contest | against the will of 1896, the court may | find toat it is not entitled to be admitted | to probate, and in that event the will of | 1883, written when the testator was in the | yrime of manhood and was presumably | iree from undue influence may be co: | sidered as hi« desire for the disposition o | his estate. - By that it would seem tuat it was his intention to make Miss Lilie Theurkanf the recipient of his entire | bounty. “If sbe should take under the { instrument of earlier uate she would get $10,000 more than by standing up for the | will which she is accused of procuring by undua influence on the mind of a man in failing heaith. As she is over 20 years of age, the trust has lapsed and the property wouid come to her direct. On the other hand, if she chooses to stand up for the will of 1896, the discovery of the will of 1883 shows that for the last fourteen years of his life | Reiculing intended to make her his sole legatee. This would strengthen the presumption that she had nothing to do with the making of the last will, the terms of which are less favorable to her. SATSSHEWASSHADOWED Mrs. Nettie R, Craven Has Two Young Men Placed Under Arrest. ! fonds o They Were Sent Home by Oaptain Bohen and Ordered to Report This Morning. Mrs, Nettie R. Craven had two young men named Perkins and Collins arrested last night about 9 o’clock, alleging that they had been shadowing and insulling her. She said that two private detectives, employed by her, were walking behind her on Market street, mear Van Ness avenue, and they advised her to draw on two young men who they thought were shadowing her. She did so, and at t.e corner of the avenue they came up te her and laughed in her face, one of ihem re- marking, *Isu’t it funny?” She crossed over to the other corner of the avenue and went into Barrington’s drugstore, and told one of the clerks that two men had been shadowing her, and she wanted an officer to arrest them. BShe 82w the two young men run round the corner of Oak street. She waited in tho drugstore for a few pinutes, an | the two young men came back, When she left the siore they fol- lowed nher until she met a policeman and asked bim toarrest them, as they were annoying and insulting her. The policeman was J. Ward, and he took tbe two young men to police head- | quarters, accompanied by Mrs. Craven. Sue told her story to Captain Bohen, and Perkins and Collinsdenied shadowing her or having insulted her. They said they were standing on the corner, when Mrs. Craven came up to them and smilea in their faces. They went round the corner to Oak street to get away from her and returned so as to_ask the drug clerks if they knew who she was. Then a police- man came up and placed them under arrest. They sald they were cierks in downtown warehouses and had no thought of shadowing the lady. Mrs. Craven telephoned for Judge Den- son, and when he arrived the stories were repeated to him. He asked Captain Bohen to take their names and addresses, and he would consider what should be done. Captain Bohen released the two young men and asked them to report at head- quarters this morning. ————— Big Capiiai for Lamp-Dealers.

Theurkauf|Board of Equalization Be- sieged With Peti- tioners. A Number of Small Cuts Are Made in the Assessor’s Figures. Communication From Charles Gildea Explaining the Methods of the State Board. The Board of Supervisors yesterday sat as a Board of Equalization and pa-sed apon a number of applicaiions for reduc- tion of assessments on real estate and improvements. A statement was submitted by Charles Gildea, prepared at ihe request ot the board, showing the methods by which the State Board of Equalizition reasons out its course in amending the valnations of this City and County, lgether with some data affecting assessmeats. The com- munication, properly addressed, is as fol- lows: Gentlemen : 1n compliance with your request I subinit to you the following facts in relation 10 the assessment of real and personal prop- erty in the City and County of San Francisco for the year 1897. As 1 am iniormed, the means which the members of the State Board of Equalization mainiy adopt to find the irue vaiue of the real estate in the several countiies of the Siate are: First—To take the sales when the true amount paid can be sscertained. Second—To take the appraisement, and sales of property by order of the Probate Courts and compare ihese sales and appraisements with the sssessea value. Third—Bank mortgages where the mortgage exceeds the assessed value of the property. Following these lines, I have carefully ex- amined the documenis, probate appraise- ments, sales and siatements in relation to per- sonal property given fo your committee by members of the State Board of Equulizatio:, and on which, in part at least, the board must have formed its judgment when it increased the assessment-roll of the City 20 per cent last ear. 7' that where the property was sold by order of tae court in most Cases the amount obiained was less than the sppraised value of the property sold, showing thai the appraise- ments were 100 high and not & fair means to measure assessed values by, and that the as- sessmenton the property bears a fair and equitable relation to the sales generally made. 1 have also carefully examined and com- pared with this year's assessment roll the sale of proper:y ior the past eighteen munths, from Januery, 1896, to Juiy, 1897, as reported Dby Messrs. Thomas Magee & Sous. he following tabie will show the number of salesin each subdivision, the aggregate number of sales and the proportion the sales bear 1o the assessed value: THE EMPORIUM. $ 5 @7 -ALLWOOL SUi LIKE PICTURE..

It is claimed that they converied a large amount of their assessable assels into non-assessable assets. Whether this was done by them in the course of busi- ness as & regular business transaction, or that they got these non-assessable securities shortly before and got rid of them im- media ely after the first Monday in March, in order to escape laxalion, an examination of thei: books would, I suppose, delermine. From an examination of thelast report of the State Controllerit will be seen that the assessed value of personal property as compared with the total assessed value of all property in the State is less than 14 per cent. The assessed value of personal property in San Francisco as compared with the total assessed of all proverty in San Francisco is 20 per cent, while the assessed value of personal property in all the other counties of the State exciusive of San Francisco, as compared with the assessed value of all property in these counties, 18 but a fraction over 10 per cent. ‘As compared with the assessed value of real esiate aud improvements the assessed value of personal pruperty in the past thirty years bas gradually but steadily declined irom 47 per cent of Lhe total assessed value to less than 14 per cent. The cost of assessing personal property in this State and collecting taxes thereon under present conditions puts an additional burden on those who own real estate. The Assessors ol California are fastsolving the problem ot the way to make land and im- provements bear all the burdens of direct tax- ation for the support of the State, county and municipal government. Herewith 1 submit to you a detailed state- ment of sales and appraisements of property and the assessed value of the same. Respect- fully yours, CHARLES GILDEA.

L. Fitzgerald Charged With Undue Influence Over the Testator. A contest has been precipitated over the estate of the late John 8. Capron, & well-known Nevada capitalist. Soon aiter Mr. Capron’s death a paver purporting to be his last will, dated ril 16, 1897, was filed by ex-Judge A. L. ritz- gerald, who was named as executor and beneficiary to a considerable extent. Mr. Fiizgerald at once began a suit to recover a large amount of property that, by trust deeds, had been placed under the custody of Madge A. Manion, Hattie M. Kearny and Mamie Capron, stepdaughters of the testator. He aileged that the prop- erty had been given into the possession of the young women for the convenience of the late Mr. Capron, and that, though requested to reconvey the property, they had refused todoso. An order of court was asked restraining them from wasting the property or disposing of it in any way. When the matter came up in Judge Slack’s court yesterday the stepdaughters presented another will, dated March 13, 1896, which, they alleged, represents the true wishes of the testator, though actual- Iy executed more than a year before the document offered by Mr. Fitzgerald. The will of March 13, 1896, disposes of the $100,000 estate as follows: To his step- granddaughter, Loretta Manion, $3000; to his stepgrandson, Raymond Kearny, $3000; to all other relatives $1 each, except the said stepdaughters, Madge A. Manion, Hattie M. Kearny and Mamie Capron, who are named as residuary legatees. In support of their opposition to the will of 1897 the yonng women alleged that when it was written the testator was of unsound mind, and that he was unduly influenced by Mr. Fitzgerald, who had obtained complete control of his mina; that Fitzgerald visited him often and was his contidential adviser for many acting also more as physician ti attorney. No action was taken by the court. Fur- ther hearing will be had next week. e e JEALOUSY AND POISON. Mrs. May Dufty Swallows a Dose of Carbolic Acid. Mrs. May Daffy, a handsome yvoung woman, 19 years of age, swallowed a dose of carbolic acid in her room, 163 Tehama street, at an early bour yesterday morn- ing, and will probably die.
