Mole in front of 239 O'Farrell street on the morning of November 22 was con- cluded before Judge Conlan yesterday. At- torney Bert Schlesinger, on behalf of the defendant, made a motion to dismiss the case, but the Judge decided to reserve his Judgment till Monday. The testimony given by Hugh B. B. Chapman, the murdered man's friend, who swore to the complaint, was entirely dif- ferent from that given by him at the Cor- oner's inquest. There he testified that there was a fight between Dolan and Mole and that he saw Mole fall to the ground and Dolan run away. He made the same statement to Detectve T. B. Gibson. Yes- terday he said he saw no fight, but that ;Jtl)lhln dashed across the street as Mole ell. The other witnesses examined were Clara Wallace, who lived with Dolan; H. C. Hudson, Dolan’s partner; and Detec- tives Hamill and Gibson. Thelr evidence was not material, however.

By its terms Jonathan Sweigert, ex-Sheriff of Santa Clara County, must turn back into the estate of Adam Sweigert, de- ceased, a sum approximating $68,000, whica Jonathan Sweigert claimed his father had left as a trust fund, and which, according to the court, the de- fendant had disposed of in part by gifts to himself and various members of the family. Adam Sweigert was a pioneer of this county and dled in 1899. His will was ad- mitted to probate and Jonathan Sweigert, his son, was appointed executor. His property was bequeathed in three equal arts to Jonathan Sweigert, Cavoline hmoll, a daughter, and four children of a deceased son, Adam. Upon the fli- ing of the inventory Mrs. Schmoll and the grandchildren claimed that the exee- utor had falled to account for a large sum of money. Jonathan Sweigert in- sisted that this sum was a trust and that a part of it had been given to himseif and family by the decedent. Suit against him was_commenced and the court now decides that there was no trust and that the gifts were made not by the decedent but by Jonathan himself. Nicholas Will Meet Draga.
