LORING LEGAL BATTLE | | WILL | -+ CAUSE OF | Purported Last Testament of Eccentric Woman Discussed in Judge Murasky's Court. ‘ The document purporting to be the will of Mrs. Emma K. Loring, the| eccentric woman who was found deadl in her home at 2409 Sacramento street | jast June, was the subject of discus-| gion in Judge Murasky's court yester- day. It came up on preliminary pro- ceedings to prove the document fit for | probate as the last will and testament | of Mrs. Loring. The parties interested in the suit are Martin Rflge'\sberger,] named in the will as executor; Johanna | Reeder of New York, a sister of the | deceased; George Attenborcugh, son- | in-law of the deceased, and the Public | Administrator. Attorney M. H. Heineman, who rep- resents Martin Regensberger, named in | the will as executor, testified that he drew the will in 1888 for Mrs. Loring. He sald, however, that he had not sufficient knowledge of her handw: rIUng to enable him to state whether the; cancellation was written by the de- ceased. J. O'Leary testifled that he first met Mrs. Loring fifteen years ago when he was a boy of twelve. He said he saw a great deal of her and that in his opinion her mind was not sound in 1895, the time the will was canceled. J. M. Newbert, an employe of the Public Administrator, was the first witness examined yesterday. He tes- tified to having gone to the home of the eccentric woman a short time after the discovery of her death was reported and making a search of her effects. He said he found the will of Mrs. Lor- ing in an etagere. —————— Will "Give Musicale and Sale. The ladies connected with All Saints’ Episcopal Mission, at 1224 Halght OPEN EVENINGS .

TRIES TO KiLL MAN HE WRONGS g Frank Monaghan Makes Unsue- cessful Attempts to Murder Walter B. Kelly and Mother —_——— LOVES VICTIM'S SPOL’SE‘ Turns the Revolver Upon Him- self and Fires Two Bullets ‘at His Heart, but Will Live’ Frank Monaghan, a lineman employ- ed by the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company, made an unsuc- cessful attempt to kill Walter B. Kelly, a stock cutter street. on Monday night and followed it up by an attempt yesterday morn- ing uvon the life of Kelly's mother, Mrs. Nellie Kelly, who lives with her son. .The only reason assigned for the murdercus designs of Monaghan is his illicit love for Kelly's yourfg wife. Aft- er his attempt upon Kelly's mother he walked across the street and, open- ing his vest, fired two shots at his heart, but, the physicians say, neither will prove fatal. Shortly after 7 o’clock Monday night Monaghan rang the bell at the Kelly home, and when Kelly opened the door Monaghan fired a shot at him, the bul- let piercing Kelly's clothing and caus- ing a slight wound on hW right_shoul- der. Monaghan ran away as soor as he fired the shot. When Kelly removed | his clothing the bullet, one of 22 cali- ber, fell to *the floor. He was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital. where the wound was attended to, and | he’ went home. TRIES TO SHOOT WOMAN. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Monaghan again called at ihe Kelly home. Mrs. Nellie Kelly and her daughter were looking out of the win- | dow and saw him. Mrs. Nellie Kelly had the idea of dragging him. into the house and locking hiin in till she sent for the police and when she opened the | door she grabbed hold of Monaghan's | shoulders. Divining her intention, | Monaghan drew back and pulling a re- volver out of his pocket pointed it at | Mrs. Kelly, but the hammer snapped | and before he could again pull the trig- ger she closed and bolted the door. She was so unnerved that she fell in a heap in the hallway. Monaghan walked across the street | and after gazing up at the windows | of the Kelly residence he opened his vest and fired two shots at his heart. He fell to the sidewalk. The police | were notified and Monaghan was sent | to the Central Emergency Hospital: It was found that both bullets had en- tered Monaghan's left chest, but missed the vital organs. SWEARS OUT WARRANT. Later Kelly, accompanied by his mother and wife, callea at the Hall of Justice and swore to a complaint be- fore Police Judge Mogan charging Monaghan with an assault to commit murder. The warrant was served upon Mo-~ghan at the haspital. Mrs. Nellie Kelly placed the { blame upon her daughter-in-law. “My | son,” she said, “has been married just | one year, and during that time his wife | has left him three times and has gone with this man Monaghan. My son is infatuated with her and has always taken her back. He is as good a boy | as ever breathed the breath of life and | I cannot understand what his wife | means by leaving him. She claims that Monaghan is a far away relation of her mother. but I don’t believe her. I‘ suppose Monaghan got mad because | she concluded to return to her husband | again and leave him. I have not yet| got over the fright he gave me when | he tried to shoot me.” g ——————— Buyers of Christmas Presents Should visit Andrews’ Diamond Palace, 221 Montgomery st. under Russ House, | and see large stock of diamonds, watches | & jewelry at lowest prices.

Woodworth received yester- day the full text of an opinion re- | cently handed down by United States District Judge Roy of the district of New York, which coincides with the opinion formerly handed down by United States District Judge Wheeler of Vermont to the effect that in cases where a Chinese person ap- plies for admission to the United States on the representation that he is a native thereof and after a hear- ing by the Chinese Bureau is denied a landing, he is debarred from ap- pealing to the Federal courts on hab- eas corpus, and may appeal only to the Secretary of the Department of Commierce and sLabor.
