10 BRIDGET WILSON'S WILL A Verdict for the Contestant. John Wilson MAGICIAN S. M. WHITE The Old Man Grows Young Once More An Eloquent Appeal to the Jury Which Had Its Effect -Favorable Upon Every Interrogatory Yesterday was the field day in the Bridget Wilson will contest case. It was j known that Senator White would address the iury in the closing argument for old j man John Wilson, the contestant of the j Lestame.it nod codicil. As a conse quence d rrv vv-i. i of tbe superior' noun was fut. v*jv-*ing, and after tbe senator had t **i "•/•;■• wanned up in his talk the sounds of his ?oice had foe pM.'.- V-aw away from ihe other .\*partmon>-» loiterers who all . cocked if to Judge Claris'* court room until at*ilAte% r*ow "Ten was at a pre mium. St«pb*r - : . WtoHewts more than or dinarily eloquent in hfa appeal to the jury to break dm Instrument which took from an*6ld man the property which he had earned during a lifetime of toil, to go to a number at strangers who had no particle of right to it. The senator read ▼ohirninous extracts from the testimony to show to the iury that, contrary to the argument* of counsel for the proponents of the will, Mrs. Wilson was not drunk occasionally, but so often that she might * very r.ptt*. ha y e been described as always I full. Her condition had been the same for rsanv years; no long, in fact, that it could be "sa.d that the memory of no ploneir ran :.s the contrary. It would be hard io realise fcbat the mind of any per -B*- addicted to convivial excesses of such eiie*H c#.«ys».l be sound. Cowing town to the times immediate v L«acadft£d ,?e making ot the last will, Y*'t4ctl trot oK John Wilson with a paltry tofftftiorj oi $50 per month, counsel dwelt ■msi lie character of tbe wounds which iira. «;iscn had received at the time oi ff.e tire. Her lack of suffering, when tier gfcftVtlv wounds were of a nature to In di ctate kfcafi she might to undergo atrocious rafr,*. evidenced that the sensory nerves at Use unfortunate, woman bad been rie - troy ad by the burns received, and that fae *as incapable of evoluting ideas con cerning ordinary propositions, let alone the disposition of her earthly effects. Mr. dwelt upon the undue influence sbat must have been brought to bear ip«cn Mrs. Wilson while she was at the •>nrrans' by some of tho beneficiaries der the will. In which Mr. McCon v.chie was not spared. With reference r. > tbe alleged intimacy between John k Wilsou ana Kloisa Gutier* fea, ihe senator drew a pathetic picture of the old horseshoer coming home after v hard day's toil, evening after evening, V.d finding home desolate because 01 the wife's intoxication. Who could wonder if 'mdci such circumstances John Wilson may have forgotten his vows and sought Sfce'society uf another woman with wnom h* might talk and not tind her in a stupid condition superinduced by never ceasing libatio::s? Old John Wilson, who during the whole trial might have carried off the cake for the champion wooden-laced man, bright ened up considerably when Senator White depicted him as a hard-working mechan ic, who for a quarter of a century, at least, had toiled from early dawn to dark dusk earning the wealth an unjust will had deprived him of. and he positively looked young again under the incanta tions of Magician White. At ten minutes to B o'clock the case was given to the jury, after Judge Clark had read his instructions, which occupied over hall an hour. At 10:30 p.m. the jury returned a ver dict for the contestant, John Wilson upon every Interrogatory. Oil the first ballot th*j jury was unanimously in favor of breaking the will.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES More of the Council for the Suppression of the Saloon Tbe newly oiganized council for tbe suppression of the saloon, which has al ready become a factor in several cities of tbe north, will probably soon be such In several of Southern California's cities.

At this meeting it is expected that organization will be effect ed.
