All his ventures were successful and in 1874 | he organized the First National Bank of Oakland and was its president for many vears. Mr, Moody married twice and therein the secret of the unhappiness which around the close of his long, activi and successful life. His first wife was Adeline Wright, whom he married in 1864.

A stranger | name has not been 1 | called on Deputy District Attorney Mel- | vin to-day and sought an interview with | that official regarding what he announced as a very important matter concerning the accused murderer. He was accorded a hearing. “I have divine knowledge about the case,” sald the stranger, to the surprise of the prosecutor. “It has been revealed | to me that Brandes had not been giving | his daughter Lillian proper training and | education, and because of this the girl | deliberately hanged herself.” The speaker here stopped as though his heart had been | relieved of a_heavy burden, and grace- fully he bowed himself out of the District Attorney’s office, refusing to_ give his name. Before Insane Keeper Keating of the Receiving Hospital could be notified the fellow had made good his escape. The noted murder trial was again con- tinued this morning until to-morrow, ow- ing to the indisposition of Juror Benja- min Marston, who has been very sick since last Thursday, when an adjourn- ment was taken on that account. e : Died of His Injuries.

Was Pastor for Four Years. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, March 28. As was predicted, the three months’ leave of absence granted Rev. Philip Graif, D, D., of thq First Free Baptist Church, was but the initial step toward his resignation. Dr. Graif went to the First Free Baptist Church of Lewiston, accepted a call at that place. He has forwarded the following letter to the members of his late churc ch 6, 1889. .

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 28. An inquest will be held to-morrow morn- ing on Mary Pipenberg. In the annals of crime and degradation of this city for the past ten years two young women figured more than all the rest put together. Sev- eral months ago Mollie Traynor ended her life with poison. Last night Mary Pipen- berg followed her example. The Pipenbergs have lived for ten years upon crime. There never has been a time in which husband or wife was not in jail or awaiting trial. Charles Pipenberg is now serving a long sentence in San Quen- tin. For many years this notorious couple exercised enough ingenuity to pre- vent being convicted of a felony, and their Sentences were therefore limited to short terms in the County Jail. The woman’'s intense regard for her worthless husband was remarkable. Many times he was ar- rested for beating her, and while Ser\'lnfi his short sentence she would carry all Kinds of delicactes to the jall, frequently receiving nothing but cur: for her trou- ble. When her husl well knew that his first work would be to Bet drunk and then to abuse her. This &ent on for years, and finally they were Separated when Pipenberg was sent across the bay. '\ few years ago Pipenberg and a police officer named Banks, now a fugitive from Jjustice, plotted to convict a man of a bur- glary in West Oakland. The plot was suc- Gcestul and he was convicted. —Efforts Were made to secure his release by prov- {ng the worthless character of both Banks and Pipenberg, but they falied =Mary Pipenberg, after her husband’s incarcera- tion at San Quentin, frequently told of the Ssecret plot. . She was but 21 years old, fhough her list of crimes is as long as though she had lived twice that length of time. BEQUEATHS ESTATE AND LITIGATION | WILL OF GEORGE W. DENT FILED FOR PROBATE.

Reis, who are named as executors, having filed their renuncia- tion at the same time. Although the estimated value of the estate is given as $10,000, the will provides for bequests of extensive lands in Cali- fornia and Missouri, in which testator erts valuable interests under the old anish grants and which is involved in litigation. The will is dated June 23, 1893, and at the time of its execution testator was over 75 years of age. He claimed re iationship to the late General Ulysses Gront.

Dent and W. S. Dent. The Marshall Tract, located in the vicinity of Mission Creck, San Francisco, is left to the widow.
