' Salem Charley's Alleged Wills Mr. DePass llus Returned From Los Angeles, Cal., Apparently Not Much the ?Viser. I'niou, March 31.?Mr and Mrs V. K. DePass returned yester<lay from Los Angeles, Cal., whero Mr. DePass had gono as attorney for Mrs. John Hopkins and her son U. C. Alexander, who it is alleged was left an estate of $142,000. Mi. DePass, whon seen this nvmiinor ssniil ilmt V.o.l .......~ . . uuim iinv uu IKUI e;uno there and had gone over very minutely everything connected with the estate, and that he had seen tho only other will said to have boon left by Charles flill alias "Salem Charley," and that it was really written with a load pencil on a very ordinary piece of paper and that it was dated subsequent to the Hopkins will. Ho eomparod the signatures and writing and so far as human eye could discern they wore the same. He stated positively that there were no other papers or wills, but that alleged Massachusetts' heirs claim the estate. Mr. Del'ass seemed of the opinion that tho heirs fro n M assacliusotts were after the wrong man, but thought the two wills were wills of the man who died there some years back, and so far as was commonly known had not a cent. However, he had a vault in ojio of tho banks with . two keys to it, one hold by tho bank authorities, tho other by Hill. When Hill died the key was turned over to tho public administiator, who with tho bank ofli cers opened tho vault and found the *112,OuO in spot cash. 1 r it is true, as is said in Los Angelos, that llill on his dying heU Stated that hu hail uu iultttivcs, the alleged heirs aro after the wrong man. Mr. DePass says that after u consultation with tho attorneys for Mrs. Drucilla Drigg, who holds the alleged will, the heariag of tho case was postponed from . May 12 to some time during the summer. This is about all tho attorney would divulge at present. T. E. D. MAKES A CLfiAN SWEEP There's nothing like doing a o n thing thoroughly.

In the Stato bank there wore $6,000 on deposit to Mr. Campbell's credit, and there was some question as to whether it was all county money. This money was turned over to the comptroller general today and by him credited to the county. This leaves about $7,500 yet to be accounted for. As previously stated, suit will boentered against the suroty company on the bond, it having raised the question as to whether the shortage occurred before or after it wont on the bond.
