Forty-eight hours later the attorney, who s ¥ g song “'l‘«" had been informed of the telephone mes- sage by his wife, read of’the death of Heywood in the morning papers. On August 12 a will of Heywood's was fiied for probate. It bore the date of twenty-four days prior to the death of the capitalist. It recited the fact that Heywood and his wife had been separated forrteen years and she was given a allowance of $150 for life.

Three or four days before his death Heywood called on a friend and informed him that he had succeeded in his plan in so far as a meeting of the wife and the daughter were concerned and the latter had joined Mrs. Heywood | As a | matter of fact the two women were lnl Santa Cruz when the dead body of Hey- | wocd was found at his home in this city. After this call Heywood visited his friend again later and told him that he had questioned the daughter relative to the:plan to have Mrs. Heywood return to him, but that Miss Heywood had an- swered that she was not yet prepared to give her consent to such a proposition. Heywood appeared quite blue gover the daughter's stubborn stand and did not try to conceal the fact from his friend. | “I have been to blame in this matter,” Heywood is quoted as saying to his friend, “and I want to rectify the wrong | 1 have done my wife.” | ENCOURAGED BY WIFE. The following day was the date on| which the female volce asked at the tel- | ephone for the Oakland attorney and | added that his services were wanted xo! draw up a will. In view of the fact, as | has been established by the records of | the probate court, that Heywood had only | twenty-four days befére made z will in | which he fgnored his wife, thére neces- sarily is provoked much speculation among | his friends as to whether he really did make another will, even though he failed to get the services of an attorney. And if he did his friends naturally ask what motive prompted him to make it, other ! than 2 desire to make amends for the wrong he confessed his wife had suffered at his hands. It is known that Heywood had learned from his wife’s own lips, In fact, he had admitted it to friends, that she was will- | ing to return to him, provided that the adopted daughter was agreeable to the | plan. With this hope about to be realized, | the friends again ask why Heywood de- stroved himself. DAUGHTER INTERVENES. The refusal of the daughter to encour- age Heywood's plan for reconciliation | and his discouragement over the situa- tion is suggested as a probable solution | of the mystery that surrounds the cap- italist’s sulcide, and it Is one that en- courages the friends of the widow in suspecting that Heywood made a will just before he took his life. In discussing the peculiar situation Judge Fox, who repre- sents Mrs. Heywood and who ssked sev- eral significant questions of witnesses in court on Tuesday when the probating of the will was in progress, relative to the possibility of a later will, sald yes- | terday: It bas been reported that Mrs. Heywood in- tends to contest the will of her late husband, but up to the present time she has made no fon. Her separation from her effected by contract, which was | carefully drawn with regard to her community property rights. These she may Insist upon in | this matter, for it cannot be denied that there | is & community interest in the estate of Frank- | lin Heywood.

MISS HEYWOOD TALKS. The estrangement of husband and wife occurred about thirteen years ago and | has since been attributed by the friends of both to the adoption of the child, who is now known as Agnes Maud Heywood and who is on the brink of womanhood. Mr. and Mrs. Heywood agreed to sepa- rate, and did so, the child remaining un- der the protection of her foster father, who gave his wife a monthly allowance and frequently, during the long years that separated them, he wrote to his wife letters, the words of which conveyed to her his spirit of kindness.

Miss Heywood, when questioned last evening, admitted that an attempt had been made by Heywood to effect a recon- | cillation with his wife and when she was asked If it was not true that the reunfon | determined on the act of hersclf, she re- plied: Yes, it did, but I told Mr. Heywood that T was not prepared to give my consent to the plan and 1 will say now that I would never consent to it. The idea that I was to blame for the estrangement of Mr. and Mrs. Hey- wood, however, is all wrong, for I was only 16 months old when they agreed to live apart. I have not heard of any proposed contest and I don’t think there will be one, Asked concerning the jtory of Hey wood's apparent Inclination to make new will Miss Heywood sald she had the fleld against the outlaws.

Upon reach- | ing the jail the guards wére recognized by the convicts, who greeted them with, “Hello! I suppose you fellows are after | us?" The guards held a few moments’ conversation with the men and therr went to work to pick up the trail of the miss- ing convicts. They first visited the scenes of the other captures, and then went to East Reno, about two miles from here. | They intend to thoroughly inspect the dif- | ferent gangs employed on the construc- of the railroad.

Smith, a lodging-house keeper at 28 West Santa Clara street, is doubly in trouble, and is threatened with both the loss of wife and property. He and his wife, Cora B. Smith, have been conducting the California House, which'he placed in her name. To- day he secured an order from Judge Rhodes restraining Mrs. Smith from sell- ing the property, which be alleges she is about to do. He declares his wife is planning to defraud him and then pro- poses to desert him. About a year ago Smith purchased the California lodging- house for $1500, and placed it in Mrs. Smith's name.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Aug. 26.— Shipping men at this port fear that the wreckage found on Queen Charlotte Island, including a boat marked *Cath- arina,” is from the Norwegian bark | Catharina which sailed June 2, lumber- | laden from Tacoma for Delagoa Bay. | When the Catharina sailed she carried a heavy deck load and had a heavy list. On June 6 and 7 heavy southerly gales prevailed off the coast of Washing- | ton and Vancouver Island and it is prob- | able that owing to the cranky condition | of the vessel she was thrown on her beam ends and was driven northward | during the gales.

PORTLAND, Me., Aug. 27.—The enemy's fleet made the second demonstration to countermine the harbor. Two vessels, one of which was a torpedo boat destroy- er, surrendered during the engagement. An attempt at landing was defeated. The attack ended at 1:15, the vessels withdraw- ing to Halfway Rock, where at 1 o'clock eight had gathered. All lights were shown on the ships after the demonstration. The Fort Leavitt batteries opened fire on two cruisers opposite the Two Lights and ab&ut a mile from the fort, with the searchlights covering the vessels during the firing. It was thought that an attempt would be made at landing. A large ship was reported opposite Fort Leavitt, pouring broadside after broad- side into the fort. The Fort Leavitt bat- teries replied and four shots were fired from Fort Preble mortars. Fort Wil- liams picked up « big cruiser at 11 o'clock and opened fire on her, being answered In kind by the ship. Four big ships at 11 o'clock could be discerned firing at Forts McKinley and Leavitt.

When they were discovered a gen- eral call to arms was sounded and the entire garrison turned out, driving the invaders back. At 10:45 the 12-inch rifie at Fort Leavitt opened on the section of the.fleet which steamed in rapidly from seaward from | the direction of Whitehead Passage. The | battleships, lying in a direct line from Cushings over Ram Islands, opened fire. | From Portland Head to the Two Lights | all the searchiights were trained on the | entrance to the harbor, and soon were | seen slinking under the smoke the tor- pedo-boat destroyers of the fleet. They were readily picked up by the searchlights on Fort Williams as they | reached Portland Head, and immediately there broke out the din of the rapid firing | guns. The destrovers keot on and came to a standstill in the channel. 1t looked as if the movement was an attack on the mine fields. While the destroyers were removing the mines, their names were distinguished. Lying opposite Cape Cottage was the Lawrence, farther up the channel was the Truxton, while the Whipple ran up to Fort Scammel and | came to a standstill there. After lying some time in the channel the destroyers ran back toward the sea. —_———— LYNCHING IS DEFENDED BY BISHOP MORRISON Methodist Prelate Declares Negro Crimes Must Cease or Summary Punishment Will Continue.
