On Witness Stand in Court,
She Volleys Epithets
at Attorney
OAKLAND, June 7.— Mrs. Anna Maria
Schumacher *ol Alameda violated all
the rules of court this morning, as
well -as some of the rules of propriety,
when she- was on the witness stand

this,", she shouted at Attorney Loewey.
!'You are a -.liar and a thief.- If my
husband was here he would send you
all to "

Loewey's appearance during the pro
bating of;th« >state of her late hue
band. Charles Schumacher of Alameda.
The estate has a value of $21,000. Schu
macher left no will, but after his death
a number of heirs ; In Germany came
forward to claim the half of the es
tate which the law allows them. They
communicated with the" German consul
at San Francisco, who placed their cas«
tn the hands of Loewey & Gutsch.
Mrs. Schumacher was called as a
witness in order that her formal testi
mony might be taken before her depar
ture for the east. - She grew angry
when asked when she was married and
considered the question an insult. It
was then that the outbreak occurred.

her say. The estate la. now In tha
hands of Public Administrator Gray
