Elicits Further Facts Relating to Dwindling of Her : Fortune, Judge Troutt held temporary court at the Lane Hosplital yesterday morning in order to examine Mrs. Mary E. Daniels, the woman whose fortune has so unhap- plly dwindled. Mrs. Margaret Halpin, a neice of Mrs. Daniels, has applied for let- ters of guardianship over the estate and person of the patlent, and the Judge, in order to learn her frue condition, decided to hold a perso; mination, The Judge, & panied by his stenog- rapher and Att 'y Sullivan for the pe- titioner and Attorney Fuhrman, repre- senting the contéstant, repaired to the hospital. They were joined by Dr. D. F. Ragan, physician of Mys. Daniels, and Dr. McCue, resident physiclan at the Lane Hospital. Mrs. Daniels Is a paralytic, but was able to walk into the room where the examina- tion was held. She was a trifie bewildered by the presence of court and counsel, but upon being reassured she bowed to the gentldmen present and took a seat. The lady has full possession of her mental fac- ulties, but is only able to speak in mono- syliables, ofving to the impairment of her power of speech. Mrs. Daniels Examined. The examination was conducted by the court and Atorney Sulllvan. They ques- tioned Mrs. Daniele at length, in order to learn her mental condition. Although un- able to give expression to her thoughts the witness was fully alive to the ques- tions asked her and was able to answer with intelligence. Mr. Sullivan attempted to demonstrate to the Judge that the iady was _entirely unable to understand. her business and was mentally Incompetent to comprehend what had taken place dur- ing the last year. Attorney ruhrman tried to show that @il her mental faculties were sound and that,she was fully capable of understand- ing all that had taken place relative to her affailrs, but that she was physically handicapped, first by reason of the parai- ysis of her limbs, and secondly by her in- ability to convey by speech all she wished to, by reason of the impairment of her power of speech. It developed that Mrs, Daniels was stricken with apoplexy in November, 1900, and as a result she is now suffering from a paralysis of one-half of her body and the impairment of speech, Attorney Sullivan tried to show that Mrs. Danlels was unable to express what her senses conceived. In order to prove his contention the attorney held up a pen- cil and asked the lady if he was not hold- irg @ paper ih his hand. She replied that it was a pencil. He tried other tests, but falled. He examined her at length about her property and she was able to give Incld answers. Mrs. Daniels was -able to recognize a owelx; :tt ttorney d!(l;e zave! lggr Fuhrman 3 eTaker 1o-dighos roperty, pay her debts and Ieml;‘w: a ‘manent homne for her in some worthy institution, where she could spend the rest of her days in peace and quiet. i ‘Do you understand, Mrs. Danlels,” asked Fubrman, “‘that we are conducting precceedings looking for the appointment of & guardian over you? Do you want a guardian?”’ Hates Them Both. “No, I am sane,” emphatically answered tha witness. “Now, Mrs. Daniels, if in the judgment of the court he deems it fit to protect your interests by the appointment of a guar- dlan, do you want Mrs. Halpin or Mrs. Tarner?’ 2 “No!” exclaimed the witness vehement- ly; “1 hate them.” The examination was soon concluded.’ Further testimony will be taken in court on Monday next. The hearing comes up on a petition of Mrs. Mary Halpin, & niece of Mrs. Daniels, praying that she be appointed Mrs. Daniels’ guardian. She is represented by Attorney Matt 1., Sulli- van. The Call published yesterday the story of Mrs. Daniels’ real estate transac- tions. The lady has a very interesting history. She was formerly a Miss Ken- nedy, daughter of a well-to-do résident of this city. At the age of 17 she married John Louth, a dr¥x §00ds merchant of pio- neer days. At the time of his death he left property valued at $57,000. In his will Mr. Louth devised a substantial sum to benevolent {institutions, and the main beneficidries under the will were his two nephews, known as the “Halpin boys." His widow, mow Mrs. Daniels, was pro- vided for, but inadequately. As the will ‘was made a few hours before Mr. Louth's death Mrs. Danlels tried to have it an- nulled. The Halpin boys were represent- ed by Attorney Suilivan. They were ex- ecutors under the will. Mrs. Danlels was defeated and only received $5000 out of the estate of her husband. Since that time Miss Margaret Royer, a niece of Mrs. Danlels, married one of the Halpin boys and for this act was dis- owned by the aunt. Since the marriage Mrs. Danlels has never seen her niece nor. heard of her until she instituted proceed- ings to be appointed her guardian. Some years after the death of Mr. Louth eight years ago, leaving her $20,000. Wit this money she made an investment in real estate at the corner of Taylor and Geary streets, buying the property through the firm of Burnham & Marsh. Subsequently she sold it at a loss of $200), ‘With the proceeds derived from the sale of that property she Invested in real es tate at the northwest corner of Page and Devisadero streets, which is now occupied by Dr. Willlamson ot the Board of Health, She also purchased o piece of property on Ashbury street, between Waller and Fred- erick, paying about $12,500. About two years ago she was induced to exchange the property on the northwest corner of Page and Devisadero streets for the prop-, streets, paying a bonus of $3500, but upon which she assumed a mortgage of $6300 at the French Bank. This was an unfortu- nate investment, as the flats were not germanently rented and the income from er property not sufficient to meet her ex- penses. The following year Mrs. Daniels assumed a mortgage on her Ashbury street property for $1000. Deuprey Borrowed Money. Attorney Eugene Deuprey borrowed $1000 on a promissory note, which has be- come outlawed. Mrs. Daniels had in her emplov some three years ago and up to the time she was stricken with apoplexy a Japanese servant, who easily obtained money at various times from her. He represented to her that the money was being invested in a Japanese fancy goods store owned by his uncle. It §s understood that Mrs. Dan. iels loaned the Japanese more than $100 without security. This servant also rnb%mx Mrs. Daniels of money and the matter was reported to the police. The lady de- clined to prosecute the man for fear of notoriety. Eeo————1 Last Rites to the Mongoose. Dr. J. D. Hallwood, owner of thesmon- goose sentenced to death by Customs Cal- lector Stratton, made application yester- day for the dead body of his pet so that he might stuff the skin and keep it in I cabinet in remembrance of the depart His request. was granted.

Woods refused to talk? saying that WILL POTPONE BOND ELECTION New Registration Neces- sary for Votfe on Tinprovements. City Attorney Lane advised the Board of Supervisors yesterday that under the charter it is mandatory upon the board to call a special election at the next meet- ing after the completion of publfication of declaratory ordinances providing for pro- posed bond issues. Lane also advises that the election must be held under the new fifinrnuon of 1902, so that the proposition ? vember at the earliest.

Detective Tom Ryan recognized Woods very readily as a man whom he had arrested in 1897 for vagrancy. Woods became engaged in an altercation with three of his pals, two- of whom . were known as Chris O'Brien and George Rey- nolds, during which Woods was cut across the throat with a razor. He was sent to the Recelving Hospital, but upon recovering he refused to prosecute the men who cut him. ‘Woaods denled point lank that he was concerned in the robbery of the Bran- augh Bank in Missouri and the subse- quent murder of the Town Marsbal. He admitted having been all through Mis- souri, but he claims it was when' he was Very young.

Several inquests were held yesterday by Coroner Leland. In the case of Lambert Miller, glass blower, 136 West Mission street, who died February 4 of a fractured skull, the jury said death was “due to his own carelessness and inexperiencef as a bieycle rider; and we further exonerate the motorman from all blame,” the twelve men ccncluded. ' A similar verdiet to the ‘motorman was rendered in the case of the unknown man killed on February 3 by an electric car. In the case of J. F.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Feb. 8. Unconscious and battered, C. Peterson, residing at West Berkeley, was found at Emeryville this morning, his pockets turned inside out and everything about the man bearing ‘evidence that he had been the victim of assault and robbery. After Peterson had been revived ' he went to golicc headquarters and reported that he had been mysteriously robbed of $17, a gold watch and a gold searf pin. The victim was unable to give a lucid account of his actions, and it is supposed he was given “knockout™ drops. Peterson said he had started from Oak- land to walk homie, the street cars hav- ing stopped running. That was the last he remembered until he regained his senses at Emeryville, only to discover his valuables were gone. The crime, if one were committed, was without the jurisdiction of the Oakland department. The unfortunate complain- ant was compelled to seek elsewhere for satisfaction.
