In fact, they believe that he will never dare to return to the city, where, for years, he was looked upon as a most trustworthy law- yer. The evidence of his guilt has grown so strong that the only step left for the| court Is to issue instructions for his ar- | rest and it is probable that the District} Attorney will be given charge of the case Although the attorneys interested in the affairs of the Mooney estate keenly ap- preciate the position of thelr cllents in the absence of the funds left by Michael Mooney, they have by no means aban- doned hope of recovering the coin, for it devel ed yesterday that the turning over of t money the three banks, with which it was deposited, to Jones, was an irregular proceeding WILL SUE THE BANKS. ot, preparations have already been to bring suits against the Hibernia ociety, the Columbian and the San Francisco In made Savings Unlon. with a view of compelling to reimburse the estate.

Pursuant to aw the court ordered that all moneys belonging to the estate should be immediately deposited in the California Safe Deposit Bank. It appears that in issuing the order tion of the bond Judge Sloss erred, in that he should have first informed him- self as to whether Mrs. McNamara had already qualified under the original bond. INVALID PROCEEDINGS. She having failed to do so invalidated the order reducing the bond, for in the absence of her original bond she w in fact, not a duly qualified administratrix, | and therefore not entitled to the ! Upon this ground is based the clalm of | the attorneys representing the different| in any subsequent petition by | heirs—that Mrs. McNamara was at no| time empowered to give her attorney or | any agency authorization to draw from | the banks the funds of the estate, and | that in accepting her order the banks did %o on their own responsibility and are consequently liable for the money they gave 1o+Jones. Judge Sloss' friends, by the way, are| | very indignant over what they claim is| an attempt to shoulder upon him the en- tire blame for the proceeding, for they | assert that he simply followed the word- | ing of an order previously issued by Judge | Coffey in the same case, when the last named reduced the bond of the executrix, Mrs. Bedelia Boyd, from $30,000 to $4000. | Yesterday Judge Coffey was inclined to | mildly criticize the action of Judge Sloss, | until one of the attorneys at the bar re-| minded him of his own order in the same case. JONES’ LAST MOVE. | When Mooney died his money was dis-| tributed follows: in the three banks in sums as San Francisco Savings Union, Hibernia Savings and Loan So- ciety, $3158 15, and Columbian Banking Com- pany, $1492 40. On February 1 all these amounts, with the exception of about $90 in the San Francisco Savings Union, had been funlawfully withdrawn by Jones on orders from Mrs. McNamara. Not con- | tented with these peculations, it is now charged that Jones set about getting the balance of the money out of the last | nanfed bank, and was finally successful, | but only after a resort to crooked meth- od ile going over the accounts rendered by the bank yesterday Mrs. McNamara | was shown one item of $645 drawn on her order by Jones on February 7 last. This she repudiated, and charged that Jones had raised the amount from $45 to $545. | She claims that she gave him an order to | pay a claim of $45 against the estate held by James Crowley and representing the | hiring of horses. ~ Apparently Jones took | the order and inserted the words ‘“six hundred and” and added a “§" to the numerals in the cornerfof the order. Each of the banks will be sued for the full amounts originally deposited with them | to the credit of Michael Mooney. | INVOLVES HIS FRIEND. | The fact that Mrs. McNamara did file a bond in the sum of $4000 has suggested the possibility of her bondsmen being sued | for that amount of money, but the devel- | opment of the fact that the entire pro- | ceeding was irregular relieves her suretles | of all responsibility. When the order re- | ducing the original bond was issued by | Judge Sloss Attorney Jones Immediately | hied himself to the office of his former | law pagtner, Joseph O’Donnell, and in- @duced him to join as a surety, a practice which lawyers often indulge in and one which O'Donnell did not feel inclined to refuse in a case wherein his old friend was concerned. As may be easily imag- ined, Lawyer O'Donnell was greatly re- lieved when he learned vesterday that he | could not be held liable for the dishonest acts of his former partner by reason of the fact that the whole proceeding was invalid. Joseph Haber Jr., who has been ap- pointed to succeed Mrs. McNamara as the administrator of the Mooney estate, appeared before Judge Coffey yesterday and formally qualified, after which Judge Coffey instructed him to be in court this amorning, when the investigation into the amounting to over | for the reduc- | Fancy Bon Bon Dishes with open work borders Fancy Bon Bon Dishes with embessed borders Very pretty Bread Trays with open work borders Fancy Cake Baskets, with handle and stand Fancy Cake Baskets, more claborate patterns 6inch _69€ inch romih $1.38 14 ek Sar0% 14 inch $2,36 handsome cup and brush, . prices.

It was reported vesterday that Jones had been guilty of several other irregular acts while serving in the capacity of an attorney and that they will develop when the investigation into his legal connec- | tions is made. The unfortunate wife of the missing at- torney is as much at sea as to his where- abouts as are Jones' most intimate friends. Although it was previously given out that Jones had gone to Santa Bar- bara for his health and would remain away a couple of weeks, it is now gen- erally thought he was responsible for this story, hoping that it would perhaps de- lay proceedings against him and mislead possible pursuit. It has been learned that one of his friends, when the present scandal began to be generally discussed samong Jones' professional acquaintances, tried to obtain T ——————————— ‘ADVERTISEMENTS.

BRILLIANT FURNITURE CO., 338 to 342 Post St. ings —Four Ool- affairs of the estate, began last week, will | a trace of the missing man and heard that he was in Portland. He immediately telegraphed there, but a response came back that Jones could not be found there. His wife, who Is_almost prostrated by | the strange absence of her husband, slllll has faith in him and hopes that he will soon réturn. Friends, however, have re- luctantly accepted the theory that Jones has gone for good and has by this time placed himself far beyond the jurisdiction of the State courts. ASKED FOR ACCOUNTING. What he did with the money he embez- zled from the Mooney estate none of his friends are able to suggest. While they admit that he gambled away much money in the nickel-in-the-slot machines and | frequently played the races, they are posi- | tive that he never lost anywhere near the amount he has failed to account for. Possibly, they think, he may have be- | come involved in some mining scheme and used the money of the Mooney estate, hoping to make it up in some way and restore it to the administratrix. Several weeks ago, when, as stated in yesterday's Call, the attorneys for Con Mooney, brother of the deceased, who was endeavoring to break tie will of his relative, effected a compromise, Jones was appealed to by Con Mooney's attor- ney to have the final account of the ad- ministratrix flled in court. Jones agreed to do so, but it was necessary for the lawyer to g0 to him several times before the paper was filed. Then, when the case was called, Jones appeared in court and asked permission to withdraw the ac- count on the ground that he had made a mistake, The court granted the request. About this time the conten.ing parties In the contest fell out again and the com- promise fell through. MOONEY’S QUEER WILL. Later, however, they again got together and agreed on a settlemenc and Jones was again importuned to render an ac- count, which was then long overdue. In- stead of doing so he suddenly disappeared and, finally suspecting that sqmething was wrong, the attorney for Con Mooney notified the court of his suspicions and the investigation was begun, with the re- sults as published in The Call The Mooney will case has been an inter- estin one from the start. Michael Mooney, in his will, which was an oddly worded document, provided that his wealth should go to Mary Dolan of Phil- adelphia, who, it appears, is an illegiti- mate child of the deceased. It was stipu- Jated in the will that Mooney's attorney, who drew up the document, was to find this worman and to satisfy himself as to her identity and thereupen pay over to . in Philadelphia, for they had often heard | their brother admit that the woman was The entertainment of the Native Sons’ his child. | literary and social committee to be given ‘When the will was filed for probate lhe; this evening in Native Sons’ Hall will be court appointed attorneys to represent | under the auspices of Precita Parlor.
