Boswell Blythe Claims He Is Heir to the Estate. | been rece A Discussion of the Validity of International Treaties Involved. IS FLORENCE AN ALIEN? Birth Is Into Ques- [The Legitimacy of Her Brought tion. | from May 18, 1896, up to June 1, 1 A complaint was filed in the Superior | Court yesterday morning contesting | Mrs. Florence Blythe-Hinckley's pos. session to the Blythe estate on the | grounds that she is of alien and ille- gitimate birth. The latest claimant to the heirship to the Blythe millions and the plaintiff in the present complaint is Boswell Blythe, son of the late James T. Blythe and brother to Thomas H. Blythe. | The point that the attorneys of the | plaintiff will endeavor to prove is the | invalidity of the judgment granted to Florence Blythe to the effect that she was of alien birth and consequently non-eligible to take possession or claim any property in this State or country, even though it be proven that she is the | legitimate daughter of Thomas Blythe. | She was born in England and this fact is against her so the plaintiff in the present complaint alleges as there is no | treaty existing between the United | States and Great Britain which pro- vides for the transfer of property of | native born or raturalized citizens at their death to alien heirs. Although this agreement of nations in favor of granting to the heirs of | relatives living In foreign countries | does mot exist at present between this | country and England there is, however, | a trace of one dating as far back as | 1700, but owing to the fact that since |y this early period no attention has been given toward a renewal of it the attor- | neys for the present claimant aver that | Florence Blythe has no valid claim or | = v in the United | ¥ right to hold property in the | taken to the hospital, bu States, she being at the time of the | death of Thomas Blythe a foreign-born child, with whose country there is not | the least agreement or well-recognized treaty. | This constitutes the main and prin- | cipal judicial technicality upon whicl the present complaint is based, and is | an embodiment of sections 671 and 672 | of the Civil Code. These sections of | the code are to the effect that any per- son, whether citizen or alien, may take | hold and dispose of property, real and | State, provided | that the country within which they live | has a treaty with this country. This, were Florence Blythe born in any country but England, so the com- plaint states, would be sufficient guar- antee that she is entitied to the estate as far as her birth is concerned, but be- ing an English-born subject, her claim | is necessarily null and void. L “When she knocked at the doors of the civil courts of this State,” said At- | torney Holladay, “they had no right to | | | grant a judgment in her favor, as they knew, or should have known, that a treaty between this country and Eng- land does not exist.” | In the complaint filed yesterday, in | addition to the fact of a non-existence of an allen treaty between the two countries—its main and fundamental basis—a subordinate point of attack will be made in advancing an argument | as to the illegitimacy of Florence | Blythe's birth. | Boswell Blythe stated yesterday that as long as a Kentucky Blythe is in ex- istence the present suit will be prose- cuted against Florence Blythe-Hinck- ley for the possession of the fortune granted to her by the judgment of Cali- fornia courts. PROSECUTIO RESTS I7S CASE Theodore Figel Will Now | Bring Forth His Wit- | nesses. | Theodore Figel, who Is being tried for the murder of Isaac Hoffman in Judge Cook’s court, admitted before Judge and | jury yesterday, through counsel, that he had received over $18,000 which had not been accounted for upon the books of the and at the time of his death was super- intendent of the Safe Deposit Company. firm. The statement was made voluntar- ily with the object in view of hurrying | were erased. | defendant was the vi | ered Nobmann for his lon, | in the store of 8. H. Nicholso | dow in the rear, and wi up matters in the murder trial. It was not admitted, however, that the money was embezzled, but on the contrary, the | delense stated that no crime had been committed and that at the proper time | it would be clearly shown that although no accounts were made of the transac-| tions no money had been embezzled. Judge Murphy, for the prosecution, was not willing to accept the admissions, but he was instructed by Judge Cook to re- ceive tbe admission and place it before the jury. as considerable time would be saved thereby and it would take at least six weeks to secure and examine wit- | nesses for the purpose of proving the al- | leged embezzlements. Judge Murphy stated that he would accept the offer of the defense to accommodate court and jury. From a memorandum furnished by Gen- eral Barnes, of the defense, Judge Mur- phy announced to the jury that Figel had ved amounts which had ccounted for, aggregating $9646 46. The amount of $3077 13, which was stated the preliminary examination to have been embezzled by the defendant, was also in- cluded in admission, which made a total of $1873259. Although it was ad- mitted by the defense that the sums had :d and not accounted for by charge of embezzlement was Figel; th strenuously denied. It was distinctly stipulated by the defense that the admis- sion of the receipt of the money should be only in the present case and not to be referred to in the embezzlement charges, should they ever be brought before the | attention of the court. After the receipt of the moneys had been placed in evidence. Bernard Joseph, who is in the office of Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., was called, and testified that Figel had frequently borrowed money from him during the years of 189 and 1897. Isaac Gellert was called and testified as to the $9500 receipt, but no new points were brought out by the testimony of the wit- ness. Charles F. Hunt of the Paris, and American Bank called at the o .Ax;){ of the aft fon to iden- the account of Rothchi & Co. The defense admitted the acc nt London witness was followed by Ed child, who stated, under examination, that he had discovered that $9500 had been drawn which had not been accounted for.

Drank a Glass of Whisky and Became Un- conscious. Met His Despoller While He Was Walking Along Market Street. SEEKS SHELTER IN PRISON Man Was Left Penniless in a Strange Cuty. The Unfortunate Thomas D. Cunningham, a recent ar- rival from San Mateo, reported to the police last night that he had been drugged and robbed in some lodging- house on Mission street, near Fourth. According to his story he arrived here with a hundred and fifty dollars, and | while walking along Market street he | met a stranger who claimed he had | been introduced to him fn San Mateo. Cunningham invited the stranger to have a drink and they visited a saloon which, he claims, was in the vicinity | of Third and Mission streets. After a conversation his new-found friend volunteered to accompany him to his room. While there Cunningham claims the stranger went outside, but returned in a few minutes with a drink of whisky, which he claimed he had purchased in a neighboring saloon. After drinking the whisky Cunning- | ham became unconscious and re- mained in that condition for some time. When he awoke he found that his money had been taken, as well as a valise containing his clothing. Penniless and without friends Cun- ningham last night visited the office of the Chief of Police and begged the ser- geant in charge to give him a place to sleep. He was taken to the City Prison, where he was provided with a night’s lodging. To a reporter Cunningham said that | after meeting the stranger he partook | of several drinks, and, becoming intox- icated, he started for his room. The al- leged robber volunteered to accompany him on the way and he asked him if he had any money. Cunningham re- plied that he had $150, and had just ar- rived from San Mateo, where he was engaged in business. After reaching the room the stranger suggested that they have another drink, and before Cunningham could reply he left the room after announcing he would return in a few minutes. When he again ap- peared he had a glass of whisky which looked rather dark. Becoming suspicious, Cunningham asked him where he had purchased the liquor, when the stranger said he had got it from a friend who ran a saloon near the lodging-house. TImmediately after drinking it Cunningham fell asleep. He awoke several hours later and found his money and clothing gone. To-day it is expected he will have re- covered from the effects of the drug, when two detectives, who have been detailed on the case by Captain Bohen, ‘will endeavor to get from him the loca- tion of the house in which he was robbed. e EVILS OF SLOT MACHINES. to Get Cigarettes. Chief of Police Lees has reopened the war on nickel-in-the-slot machines, and has instructed the police to arrest all persons who offer cash prizes as an in- ducement to use their machines. War- rants have already been sworn out in three cases. Judge Campbell has drawn attention to another form of vice In connection with the machines, which he thinks should be stamped out at once. He had occasion to go to the market about 6 o'clock yes- terday merning, and while passing a cigar-store on the corner of Geary and Market streets he saw four or five news- boys dropping their nickels In the ma- chine. One of the boys came up to him and said he had got a straight flush, and when the Judge asked him what he got for it he replied that it meant seventeen packages of cigarettes. The Judge severely reprimanded the cigar man, and told him if a policeman had been in sight he would have given him in charge. The Judge brought the matter to the attention of Chief Lees, who- will take steps to stop the evil. —_———— Rev. Dr. Rader Will Lecture. Rev.

FEAR FOUL PLAY Strange Disappearance of a New York Book- keeper. THEY ‘A. L. Sykes, a Recent Arrival, Drops Out of Sight. His Friends Fear That He Has Been Murdered His Money. for A. L. Sykes, bookkeeper for the In- stantaneous Gas Heating Company of i New York, is among the missing, and his friends fear that he has been mur- dered. Sykes arrived here last Thursday night from New York, intending to sail on the Alice Blanchard for the Klon- dike, where he was to represent the Instantaneous Gas Heating Company. He took a room in the Baldwin Hotel and made arrangements for his pas- sage on the vessel. He had a letter of recommendation to General Malonal- sky of 1920 Pine street, and to him he delivered the letter and told of his in- tended trip to Alaska. Last Sunday afternoon he was to go to the general’s house to get the money |to buy the necessary provisions and |also to pay his fare to the gold regions. lHe failed to show up, however, and | General Malonalsky suspecting some- | thing wrong sent a friend to the Bald- win to see what had become of him. He | was not in his room, and the clerk professed to know nothing as to his whereabouts. An examination of the room showed that his effects were still there, but there was no trace of the missing man. Last night S. Rosendorf, a friend of | General Manolasky, visited police head- | quarters and invoked the aid of the | Chief of Police in finding the missing bookkeeper. He described Sykes as be- ing about five feet ten inches in height and weighing about 160 pounds. He has a black mustache, and wore a blue sack coat and dark trousers. Rosen- dorf is firmly convinced that Sykes has been foully dealt with. | After listening to his story Chief Lees at once detailed a detective to find the missing man. When last seen Sykes was walking along the water front, evidently in search of the vessel on which he in- tended to sail. Subsequently he met a longshoreman, who volunteered to es- cort him to the steamer. After reach- ing the vessel he inquired of one of | the officers when it would sail. He told | him that the steamer was to leave | Monday afternoon. Sykes said he had | already procured his ticket and { would have his baggage ready be- | fore sailing time. He informed the offi- cer that he was staying at the Baldwin | Hotel, and was anxious to see a friend before leaving the city. He then board- |ed a Market street car, since which | time he has not been seen. el Visited by Scholars. A class from the Lick School of Me- chanical Arts, piloted by Professor Ray- | mond, made a tour of the varlous de- partments at the City Hall yesterday and expressed much interest in the workings of municipal government. ———e——————— Advances made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal.
