Noonan| { Furniture Company, demurred yester- | ‘[dny to the petition of D. E. Perry for | permission to prove the contents of | the last will of Noonan, which has !been lost. Her demurrer is inter- | posed on the ground that Perry's peti- | tion is ambiguous; that it does not | show upon what date the lost will was | made and that the petition is faulty in that it does not set up the contents | of the lost document. | Perry claims to have been a witness | | to Noonan's will, which, he says, dis- | poses of an estate worth nearly $200,- | 000 and names himself and Mrs, | Noonan as executor and executrix re- spectively. Though Noonan's death occurred two years ago, the will has never been filed and its supposed existence was not known of until a few weeks ago, when Perry came into court and asked that the widow be | e an s vocital compelled to produce it. - v lfhh:-.(n 2 nlx)n:ely be | ceedings warep dropped, tfl'”fiufif&i will be on sale to-mOr- | having denied the existence of the will, | Clay & Co’s and then Perry filed a petition to | b (Mozart), (from | Prove that a will had been executed Batt (b) Mon | and that he and others knew its con- .

Morse, a practitioner of osteopathy and proprietor of the Comora, a boarding-house at 621 O'Farrell street, suffocated herself with illuminating gas last Friday night while laboring under a fit of despond- ency. A few days ago she told Mrs. A. J. Wells, one of her boarders, that she intended to commit suicide. The un- fortunate woman had been very much depressed because her property was to be sold within a day or two under foreclosure proceedings. Mrs. Morse retired at 10 o’clock on Friday even- ing. At 9:45 yesterday morning Mrs. Wells knocked at her bedroom door, and, receiving no reply, summoned | the porter. He got into the room | through a window and found Mrs. Moore seated in a rocking chair in the bathroom, dead, with her head resting upon a gas lamp, the key of which was open. Deputy Coroner Michael Brown made a strict search of the room for a note or other farewell message, but failed to find any. ESTATE OF THE LATE MRS. FAIR DISTRIBUTED Judge Lawlor, in the Absence of Judge Cook, Hears Evidence and Makes Final Order. Judge Lawlor, in the absence of Judge Cook, made an order yesterday distributing the estate of the late Caroline D. Fair to the heirs after hearing the evidence of Charles S. Neal and Joseph Harvey, administra- tors, and Attorney A. R. Cotton, who represented the Nelson family. As it was decided that Mrs. Fair died before her husband, Charles L. Fair, the will she made making certain bequests and the residue to go to her husband took effect. These bequests had been paid by Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt Jr., heirs to their brother’s estate, and have been as- signed to them, so that there was nothing left to do but to make an or- der_distributing the estate to them. Frank Smith, one of the legatees, has not been heard of for some years and it is presumed that he is dead. but the heirs agreed, in the event of/ his appearance, to pay the $10,000 legacy to him. There was also enough money retained to pay the inheritance tax. Joseph S. Tobin represented the heirs. —_————————— ‘Wisconsin University Alumnl.
