LEFT $500,000 TO MAHAN. Physiclan Who Attended Her and the Subscribing Witnesses Declare Mrs. Townsend Was In Her Right Mind and Vigorous for Her Age. ‘The contest of the will of Adaline Darrow Townsend, who left nearly her whole estate to Joseph Mahan, who was her dead husband's law partner, was re- gumed before Surrogate Thomas to-day. with Dr, Albert A. Davis, her attending physician for a generation, and a wit- ness to at least four wills executed by the aged woman, on the witness stand. Dr. Davis said that although eighty- ix years old, Mrs. Townsend was “sprightly, unusually bright and alert.” Dr. Greaven had testified that Mrs. ‘Townsend had told him in Pery’s Phar- macy she intended to give the property to Mr. Mahan. He was a witness to her gignature to the will. Louls Dodd, the young lawyer for the Chicago relatives who contest the will, bas told of sensational revelations of spiritualist influences over Mrs. Town- send, but not a whisper had been said in court during the examination of the thre subscribing witnesses. Tried to Make a Sennation, Mr. Dod tried to make a sensation over the death of Henry Perrin Townsend, husband of Mrs, Townsend, April 13, 1960, but he only developed that the aged lawyer died suddenly one evening after planning for the next day's work. It was elicited that Dr. Davis was remembered for $10,000 In the 1900 wail of Mrs. Townsend, that when she asked him to sign the 1 under coa- test as a witness she told him she had cut that legacy out, as she had learned that if he were a legatee he could not be a witness to the will. “Did you know that Mrs. Townsend bad a fall through a trap-door in a grocery store and struck her head just prior to her husband's death?" Mr. Doda asked the doctor. “Oh, yes,” replied tne old physician promptly; ‘she told me she thought she must have been unconscious for more than an hour before she was discovered. @be was also run over by a bicycle, and bad a fal in her room later.” The “Spirits” Appear, “Are you a believer in Spiritualism, Doctor?" At last the disembodied epirits were to appear in the case, and every one in the court audienee was alert. “absolutely nos’ replied the doctor. “Was Jane Porter a believer in Spir- itualism?" “I believe she was. I have seen it stated taat Mrs. Townsend died in the arms of a medium; but, as a maiver of t fact, a Mrs. Walker, who is a Roman Catholic, and a Mrs. Hach were with her when she died. Neithor is a Spir- itualist.” “Did Mrs. Townsend velleve in Spir- m2" .sm? “Yes: she told me a short time de hei death that she had been a nell io Spiritualism for over forty years. “Did ever communic.s with her dead son her dead hus- band?" x “She told me so, But she said she didn't know any more about it than she did at the beginning, and had never otg any good out of It.” ES Did she tell you she had ever visited ‘medium Yes; a Mrs. Williams, womewhere on the west side.

A ; she gave me her check for $10,000 at the time. Q That was your pay for witnessing any will she had a mind to make? No, sir; I took it as a token of her re- gard and affection for me. I had been Physiclan for he:self and hussand for thirty years, and Bad never presented a ill during her husoand’s lifetime. She insisted on.my rendering a. bill every six months after he died, and I suppose With this $10,000 check 1’ received $12,000 from her. They Did Not Appear. ‘This completed the evidence for the will, and Mr. Dodd said ho would begin the contest with the twenty witnesses he had asked the other side to subpoena, servants and other employees of the Townsend family. One by one he calied Ralph Malini, Michael Hughes, erick” and others. Mr. Clarke sald Malini had ben a clerk in Mr. Townsend's office, but had Gisappeared long ago.

None but a student of phychology could explain the pecullar conditions that existed to-day as a result of the sul- cide of Claudia Guernsey, forty year old and wealthy in her own name, at the oHtel Navarre. For fourteen months John Boyd Walker, who says he ts a relative of John Brisben Walker, and Mrs, Guernsey had been travelling over the United States, registering in the principal hotels as "Mr, and Mrs, J. B. Walker.” In all that time the reat Mrs. Walker, who lives at No, 9 East Twenty-second street, made every effort to win her husband back, Mrs. Guernsey tried in every way to keep him by her side. She failed and killed herself. To-day the real wife, dressed in mourning for the death of her rival, went Into hysterics and at intervals vegged her husband to go to the under- taking establishment of Winterbottom, at No. Thirty-seventh street and Sixth avenue, and take a last look at Mrs. Guernsey. “Go to Her Coffin.” "Jack,"" she sald, while sitting In the parlor of her home, “Jack, dear, I forgive everything. You are my husband and I am your wife. I feel sorry for her. She flattered you. Go to her coffin and kiss her good-by. They are going to cremate her body. Tt {s your last chance. “Then, Jack, dear," the woman con- tnued, “come back to me. It was all your fault, I don't blame her at all. You were flattered by her attentions. Go to her for the last time and then come back to me."* ‘Walker followed his wife's advice. He went first to the Morgue and then to Undertaker Winterbottom’s piace. He kissed Mrs, Guernsey, cried, and sald while leaning over the coffin: “We were so happy together; oh, we were so happy. She had brains; she was fascinating. I loved her. But I love my wife, too. After calming himscit Walker went to the Coroner's office. Ther was another exhfbition of the mystery of psychol- ogy.

MAY 14, 1903. BLANCHE WALSH WINS WORE The Announcement Comes as a Complete Surprise, for It Was Not Known That Popu- lar Actress Was Married. KEPT SECRET SEVEN YEARS. Her Husband Was Alfred Hickman, Now Playing with Marie Cahill “Nancy Brown,” and They Were Wedded in Jersey City. In Goneral astonishment has been caused yb the disclosure of the marriage of Blanche Walsh, the majestic Maslova of the Wageahals tion of Tolstol's Alfred Hickman, the narrow-chested Englishman who chirps and caockles through the part of the chapple with ‘Marte Cahill in “Nancy Brown. To add to the surprise, the disclosure of the relations of the peculiarly con- trasted couple comes in the denouement of a divorce, which, though granted on “Resurrection,” BLANCHE WALSH, WHOSE MARRIAGE SECRET 1S REVEALED BY DIVORCE. | April 9, has remained a secret until now. What {s more remarkable, Miss Walsh and Mr. Hickman were married in Jer- sey City as long ago as May 15, 18%, yet they virtually kept thelr union a secret up to the present thme. There were many, of course, who mar- yelled at the splendit Miss Walsh's seeming fancy for the Kittle chap, but hardly one of them guessed how far her strange infatuation had carried her, It appears that tho course of their love for each other ran quite smoothly until February, 1900, when Mr. Hick- man's marked interest tn a myaterious woman of Bt. Louts caused the flery Mies Walsh to flare up and threaten to reduce slim Mr, Hickmat to a whitened ash Again in New York. Later, in New York, the undaunted Mr. Hickman {s said to have again aroused his wife's ire by his devotions to a New York woman. These two episodes form the basis of the com- plaint which Howe & Hummel! filed on ehalf of Miss Walsh on March 2 last, Mr. Hickman’s alleged misconduct, it was charged, having continued up to that date. Attorney Thomas Osborn appeared for Mr. Hickman, but after hearing the testimony Wilbur Lawrence, the ref- eree, made a report, which was con- firmed by Justice Fitzgerald, who signed an interlocutory decree of absolute di- vorce April 9. The decree became ef- fective April 4, when it was fled, ‘The papers in the case are sealed and none of the parties interested’ will dis- cuss details, Mr. Nickman {s especially reticent, he refusing to admit even that he and Miss Walsh were ever married. Miss Walsh {s ‘on the road’ depicting the woes brought upon poor Masiova by sinful man. When little Mr. Hickman took big Miss Walsh for his bride he was play- ing Little Billee in ‘“Trilby" at the Gar- den Theatre, Ghortly after the wedding Miss Walsh went to Australia as a member of Nat Goodwin's company, re- turning the fololwing September to San Francisco. At this time she was about twenty- four years of age. Miss Walsh, who now bears the unique distinction of having been marriet seven years and practically keeping the matter a secret, was a few seasons ago the object of the impassioned love of Melbourne McDowell, with whom she appeared In the Sardou plays. Mc- Dowell created two or thre scenes on the stage because of his unrequited af- fection, and two or three times told his woubles to the audience.

POKER PLAYING SA DISGRACE Such Is Magistrate Crane’s Dictum Delivered from the Bench of the Yorkville Police Court in Holding Prisoners. “Any man who plays poker, even though In his own house, or for stakes of not more than a penny, is a disgrace to himself and his family.” ‘The above dictum was delivered from the bench by Magistrate Crane in the Yorkville Court to-day, when fourteen prisoners were arraigned before him charged with violating the gambling laws. The prisoners were arrested in a raid on No. 105 Second avenue early to- day by Police Capt. Kemp, of the Fifth street station and his precinct detec- tives. According to the detectives, they had perched on a fence bounding the dack yard of the place, and from that eie- vation saw men playing poker and stud in the rear rooms of the house. As soon as they were sure of the nature of the games being played they sig- ralled to Capt, Kemp, who descended on the players and gathered in the fourteen prisoners. When the men were arr: aigned Sam Paul, uwenty-nine years old, of No. 14) Hast’ Filty-first street, was charged with runt the place. The other men were acc of playing. Lawyer Alex Rosenthal, of No. Broadway, ap- peared | the prisoners and moved for their discharge. The Magistrate re- fused the request and intimated that the police had a clear case against them. “If that 1s s0,"" interposed Mr. Rosen- | thal, ‘a man who plays poker in. his own’ home 1s a felon and a candidate for Sing Sing Prison.” “Any man," replied the Magistrate, | bristing, “who plays poker at all, in his own home or elsewhere, thougn the | enn js a) stakes be not more than a disgrace to himse:f and hig family." | “Why, [ know Supreme Court Justices | who piay poker,’ said the lawyer.

WHITE BREAD. Another Proof in the Controversy. Under certain conditions white| bread, potatoes and all starchy food fails to digest and bowel troubles and appendicitis are likely to follow unless the food !s changed. { ‘After consulting five physicians, | the last three of whom declared that | an operation for appendicitis was | the only way to save her life, a young lady of Bloomington, Ind., re- covered her health entirely with no other aid than Grape-Nuts, the sci- entific predigested cereal food. She says: “Three ycars ago I had ‘an attack of what my familly physi- clan pronounced congestion of the bowels and stomach. “He treated me for some time but I continued to grow weaker, con- stantly subject to the same attacks, I was compelled to give up my stud- {es at college. In the mean time | consulted another physician. Finally I went to a specialist, who pro- nounced it catarrh of the stomach and acute appendicitis, I was under his care for about three weeks when I had another attack, and my parents called other physicians, who claimed that nothing but the removal of the appendix would save my life. “My parents refused to permit this and I was left a total wrock, weak, nervous, unable to eat. It was then that they tried Grape-Nuts, feeding me a teaspoonful three times a day. food alone I improved from the start to the great wonder of my family. For two months I ate nothing but Grape-Nuts and drank Since that time (which was more than a year ago) I have not} had the slightest illness and I ar now strong and able to study aga! know that T owe my restored healt) 0 Grape-Nuts and I now eat it con- stantly.” Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Th this case as in most cases of ap- pendicitis, the trouble started with inflammation of the bowels resulting from the use of pasty, starchy foods that were undigested in the stomach and went into the intestines in an undigested condition, fermenting there and starting disease. Too much white bread will do this, Relief and final cure came when the !inproper food was left off and Grape-Nuts (in which the starches have been homet 1s His’ prophet.” Among friends end acquaintances the salutation was | ‘May your bairam be blessed."
