N ASHTON CASE Heirs of an Australian Victim of the|Jurymen at Inquest Fail to Murderer May Also Make Claim. s OAKLAND, Feb. 20.—Jewels left by Miiton Franklin Andrews, who made a sensational end of himself and his com- panion, Hulda Petre Olivia, in a McAllls- ter-street lodging-house in San Francisco when he was about to be arrested for the | attempted murder of William Ellis at Berkeley, are to be the subject of a con- test. Today Attorney John McVey of | this city recelved a photograph of An- drews’ wife, who lives at Holyoke, Mass., and a copy of the marriage certificate which shows tLat Andrews was married to Jennie J. Walsh on February 4, 18%. These evidences of marriage are to be used to support the elaim of the widow to the property left by her husband. Opposed to her claim Is that of Ellls, who says that after being left for dead from the effect of theé blows administered by Andrews, he was robbed of $500 by his assailant. The estate of Andrews consists of a dlamond ring valued at about $70 and some other rings -which, all told, will possibly aggregate $1000. Of this Bllis claims $500 as the amount of money of which e was robbed by Andrews, and if he is ailowed any money for his doc- tor's bill there will be nothing left of value after these claims were satisfled. It is even stated that the large solitaire diamond, which forms the chief part of the estate, was stolen from & man mur- dered by Andrews in Australia shortly before he left that country with Bilis\in tow. This may add another element to the tangle, as a claim for the ring, if supported by evidence, of which notice has been given Public Administrator George Gray, will take priority over the other claims. According to the information now in possession of McVey, Andrews and his wife were married by the Rev. Bradley Gilmore of Holyoke. He was a traveling salesman at that time. He was 23 years of age and was therefore 32 when he ended what was one of the most sensa- tional criminal careers known to the po- lice of this continent. —_————— WILL HAVE AUTOMOBILE. OAKLAND, Feb. 20.—The police will soon have an automobile in which to convey drunkerds, vagrants and other offenders to the City Prison, according to an ordinance that has been referred to the auditing and finance committee by the City Council. It 18 proposed to ex- pend $3000 for that purpose. Another ordinance that has been re- ferred to the committee is that appro- priating $16,000 to extend the boulevard on the east side of Lake Merritt.

B OF THBE MUR- SUICIDE, WHO EWELS. WL VERI LERTIFCATE OAKLAND, Feb. 20.—The Board of BEducation has taken measures to verify all certificates presented by children at- tending ‘the public schools of Oakland, in which it is stated by physicians that the health of these children is in such a con- dition that they cannot be vaccinated in cordance with State law.

Ewer, and if his examination substan- tiates the opinion of the doctor issuing the certificate, the child will be admitted to the schools, but otherwise vaccination will be insisted upon. The members ofsthe board are of the opinion that all chiidren seeking admis- sion to the public schools should receive the same treatment at the hands of the School Department, hence the official examination of children who have not been vaccinated. The opinion of the City Physician will be final in every case. ARBITRATION.

LONDON, Feb. 20—The application for divorce of Mrs. Fitzgerald from Gerald Purcell Fitsgerald, formerly owner of a ranch near Los Angeles, Cal, and e large land owner in Ire- land, has failed, the dlvorce court to- -day ruling that Mr. Fitzgerald was domiciled in Ireland and that there. fore the English court had no juris- dictlon.

Ashton, whose body was found lying in the mud of the estuary near the Califor- nia Yacht Club house yesterday, came to his death accidentally or intentionally, or whether he was the victim of foul play, are questions that will probably go un- answered with the dead man to his grave. Those queries were not solyed at the in- quest held this afternoon by Justice of the Peace F. S. Cone, and the jury re- turned a simple verdict that Ashton’s death was due to drowning. Dr. W. O. Smith made a careful inspection of the body, but could find no trace of any wound that might indicate that Ashton It was the from drowning. The fact that Ashton was known to have had considerable money on his per- | son when he left his home, 1721 Grove street, Berkeley, Saturday afternoon, and | the fact that no coin was found in the pockets of the clothing, leads some to think that Ashton may have fallen in ! with persons who, taking advantage of his weakness for drink, plied him with | liquor, robbed him and then threw him into the estuary. W. E. Johnson, who first observed Ash- | ton’s remains in the mud near the Cali- fornia Yacht Club house, testified to-day that there was a double trail in the mud leading from a point near the Webster- street bridge to where the body was no- ticed, lying face downward. This trail ap- peared, Johnson said, as if it might have been made by the feet of the corpse being dragged along the bottom at high tide. Johnson was of the opinjon that the rush | of the outgoing tide was strong enough to have carried the body along from the point near the Webster-street bridge where it is supposed Ashton fell, jumped or was pitched overboard to the place where the body rested when found. Philip H. Levy, Ashton’s stepson, stated today that he had made a gearch in Berkeley and Oakland to find where his father went after leaving home Saturday, but obtained no clew. Levy sald Ashton often carried large sums*of money that he made from real estate deals and that he spent much for drink. Ashton had been in gdod health and was not known to have been despondent or to have made threats to end his own life. Another the- ory of those who have investigated the case is that Ashton while intoxicated wandered down fo the water front and fell into the estuary. Arrangements for the removal of Ash- ton's body to San Francisco, where the funeral is to be held, were made today. —_—————— BURGLAR SCARED AWAY. OAKLAND, Feb. 20.—The screams of the 11-year-old-son of A.Jacobs tright- ened a burglar from the Jacobs home at 1366 Harrison street this evening and prevented the theft of silverware that the prowler had tied in a towel The family had gone to the theater, leaving the boy at home in charge of the house.

OAKLAND, Feb. 20.—The fact that a person under age marries without the consent of his or her parents is no longer cause for the annulment of the marriage in this county, according to a decislon rendered today by Judge Ellsworth. He refused to annul the marriage of Eva M. Edwards from Ed- win E. Edwards on this ground.' Some one, he stated, should be prosecuted for perjury in swearing to the girl's age, but he sald he did not believe it made the marriage void.

COULTERVILLE, Feb. 20.—The owners of the Champion mine of Coulterville, owned by Ray, Menser & Waggener, have just made a clean up of the ore obtained by working the ledge for a little over six weeks.
