Manager Chapman accepted Cornelius’ vltimatum and then informed him that he had no jdea of cRanging the system, which he had recently adopted. He fur- ther stated that he was willing to pay the wages of one man trom each of the thir- teen car houses to come to the compan: offices in the Wells-Fargo building for onc week, and that he felt assured that at the end of that time the thirteen men would report that they could find no fault with the new system of handling the money.

Every one thought that the trouble was | all over, but it was a wild misconception. | O’Hare was wanted by all his sisters. He | was hurried from pillar to post. And with the old man went the coin. At last it was reported that he had been hurried aw: to New York City by Mrs. Lally and Mrs. Goudy. Mrs. Rogers became excited. All sorts of wild rumors were floating through the alr. On January 22, 1902, Joseph O'Hare died in New York, leaving his money behind. For a few days the alleged helief that he | had been poisoned was entértained by in- terested parties, but when it became| kpown that he had left a will there was | some figurative hair-pulling among tho | sisters. A perusal of the contents of the document, about which interest centered, showed that all.three sisters were Lu“ stare and share alike. 1d- Mrs. Rogers, not to be outdone, also produced a_ last will and testament, in | which V F. Burbank, the “life-long £2000. The body of the deceased had hard- Iy been disposed of when the Surrogate Court of New York and the Probate Court of San Francisco were flirting with each other across the continent over the Mrs. Lally’s last will and testament was made in k in 1901, and that of Mrs. Rogers was prepared in Oakland in 1897. The last will wculd have been the better under or- dinary circumstances, but O'Hare had been declared to be incompetent. DISPUTE GOES TO COURTS. The tocsin was sounded and the op- porents gathered for the struggle. The matter was brought before a jury in the Superior Court of San Francisco. Mrs. ¢, Mrs. Lally and Lavinia Laily, the lawyer, claimed that although the de- ased had lost his wits he had been in the habit of finding them occasionally and had had lucid intervals. During the trial personalities were numerous in the asserted that Attorney Judkins took a too deep interest in the affair because he was | paying non-legal attentions to Miss Rog- Judkins was confident that Miss | The jury decided that O'Hare had had | lucid Intervals, and the case was appealed | to the State Supreme Court. There it | rested until the contestants began to want money. Then there was talk of a compromise. Mrs. Lally and Mrs. Goudy | desired that their sister divide equally | with them. Mrs. Rogers refused, and | Burbank inquired where he was to come in. For several weeks the question was | aropped, then overtures were made again. The lawyers and the beneficlaries finally agreed on a division. The estate was found to be worth about | $45,000 with alldebts paid. Mrs. Rogers gets | $18,000, Mrs. Lally and Mrs. Goudy get | $12,750 each and Burbank gets $1500. But | the lawyers for each party to the sult | had to be paid. | WHAT THE LAWYERS SAY. The attorneys for the various contest- | ants are not anxious to tell what share of | | the property they received. T. C. | Jud- | kins, speaking for himself and W. M. | | Cannon, says: “We were very reasonable | {in our fees, and I think no estate which | { has been in litigation has been settled | | more cheaply proportionately than this | one as far as we are concerned. Knight | & Heggerty got the biggest pay, which | | amounted to more than $12,000, in rfiy | opinion. | Henry C. McPike, who handled the case | so successfully for Mrs. Goudy and Mrs. Lally, thinks the lawyers, as far as his | firm is concerned, did not profit largely. | Charles Heggerty for Knight & Heg | gerty said simply and with gravity: “It was a good case, but we drew out of it |early.
