May 23.1 This morning Judge A. W. Field and a Jury commenced nn Inquiry Into tlio matter tot tlio will of John A. Ifodawa , who , slnco J871 , bad conducted In Lincoln a hotel Itnown fis tlio Former's Homo. The will had been Ottered for probate In * tlio county court , but probixto was contested nnd the matter caino tQ this court for trial before n Jury upon issues of fact. Tlio will involves property kllcgcd by tlio contestants at this time to bo Worth 170,000 , and is located near the U. & ( vl. depot an ancient building used fnr hotel hnd lunch purposes and other property , purlng tbo grasshopper times ITcdawa sip- hears to have purchased the property for 17,000 or $ $ ,000 , nnd subsequently ho had fcold a lot for $10,000 thus recouping himself for the original cost prlco of the whole prop erty. Long years ago ho married in Illinois nnd tlio family consisted of four children when the parties were divorced nt the in- Blanco of the wlfo. One of thcso children has since died , and of the other Uiroo , of mature age , uno Is n res ident in Lancaster county , and the Olivers in Michigan. It is thcso three who contested Ilia will. There was a second marriage ana & second divorce , with no children. Next followed a third marriaga with a Wlfo who survives the testator and four minor children. To this latter family of children the property is loft by the will , the otner sons and daughter claiming that they nro entitled to an equal eharc of thocstata with tlio children who by the will now presented virtually are made tne inheritors of the whole. The will Is con tested on the grounds of unduu influence by fcho mother of the second family and widow of the testator , nnd the alleged incapacity of the testator at the tlmo or the making of the Will , it being contended that ho was not in Bound mind at the tlmo ho signed the Instru ment , on account of long coutlnucd habits of Intoxication which had worn him away In mind and body. This , the con testants will endeavor to prove , while the proponents of the will assert the opposite , saying that the testator was fully capable of transacting business when Jio mndo the will , nnd.wns not under the Influence of liquor. As'soon as the juiy was cmpanclqd , to-day , the court excused the otliqr Jurors for the remainder of the week , showing that the trial is to bo a protracted one. Mnahor McCIellnn. It seems that C. W. McCIollan has bad n penchant for mashing the hearts and ruining the lives of unsophisticated Gorman girls. The lady that benra his name and occupies room 10 in tlio Baldwin block is of German purcntaco. The lady ho was to have mar ried , Juno 7 , was also of German extraction , nnd came to this country about two years ugo. And , further , It has Just become known' that whiles in Norfolk , n few months ago , lie weed and won the Sonlier girl , the victim of 'tho attempted abortion at the In sane usylura , and prior to her death xvas under promise of marriage to her. Tms fact was told vo TUB HEP representative to-day by a reliable naintor of this city , who was intimate with him there , and. acquainted with all of tlio circumstances of his engage ment. McCIollan is nlrnan probably thirty , flyoj.vearsof ago , of average size , .aparo- faced , "and of pleasing address , especially ttfben dressed In his "Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. " Ho is thought to bo of Scotch or Irish extraction. Ammo proof is in hand to prove that he la a scamp of the first water. In conversation with TUB BEE representa tive last evening , he donmd that the lady who bears his- name ho.ro was his wifrfbu t admitted that ho had boon living .with her and. thht he wds the father of the ohil'l she bears and of which tbo lady in question is tne mother. Mr. Baldwin , the owner or thq block , says McClcllan nnd his supposed wife have been occupying the ° room stated forever over two years. Drs. Burma and Riser and Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Taylor also say ho has been Jiving with Mrs. McCtbllan , of whom they all speak in tbo highest terms , as hus band and wife. The tnarriage records show that on November 20 , 1880 , O. McClellun and MuinloSummorilold were united in mar riage by Elder J. B. Johnson. Lawyers suv that a slight discrepancy in names goes for nought. Mrs. McClolInn says that nor hus band has stolen the marrlago certificate , but Mrs. Oradt and Miss Tilly Trichel say they saw the certificate and that it was genuine. Mctjlcllan challenges the records. Mr. Tate , of this city , says that ho has a wife living in Jo wo , and grounds are strong for the belief that ho has never been divorced from her. Ho also says that this wife applied to him for protection and assistance while he wus superintendent of the poor house of Newton , Jasper couuty , and that for a tlmo she was a churga of his. This wife Is also the mother of ono of his children. McCtcllan substanti ally admitted to TUB Hii : representative that ho in either u fornicator. nn adulterer or n bigamist , and ho lives in the city of churches and universities , in open defiance of law and decency. The Council Investigation. The Investigation into the atTairs of the city council was resumed this morning. Tbo first witness examined was Austin Humph rey , chairman of the board of public works , lie did not romoinbor signing u report on the Burns contract in April , 18S3 , but remem bered signing an ostlinato la November , 1SS7 , for $1,500. in December there was an estimate of $2,001) ) allowed. He remembered that ut that time thcro was a question about making the $1,800 $3,000 in order for Burns to pay it to Dean. Tbo board had never ac cepted the Burns wells ; the engineer never made a final cstltnatu and ho had never signed an approval of the work. Joseph Burns was sworn and said that ho hud a ccrtUlod copy of this approval In the oflifu of Pound & Burr. Ho tostilled in re gard to the statements rendered him by Dean & Hortou. Statements were olfored in evidence , also the statements made to Burns from W. J. Cooper and Cole Brothers. The Cooper contracts were about $1,700 , The expert was Instructed to 'taka the statements made by Dean & Horton - ton to Burns J also tho'so made by Cooper , to compare prices and discounts with discounts given on these dates , when cuch were furnished , and also to ascertain from the record of the clerk the votes ol Cooper on the Burns estimate prior to fur nishing the material for the Burns well and after furnishing it. Oiv-cross-oxauimatloii , Burns said that ha hud tried often to pot the statements , and that whan they did couio they were incor rect. IIu had. oointed out those errors in April , 1BSS. The material was bought of Dean & Horton for CO per cent off , aud Cooper & Cole Brothers tor 67tf per cent off. Dean said ho was getting 5 per cent oil to furnish it at 00 per cent oft. Letters from St. Louis and Chicago giving prices for ma terials were introduced lit evidence. 1 Editor Gore , of the Journal , was sworn and ho said that Air. 0.10. Goodell had given him the Information which Induced him to write the editorial on the city affairs , The witnesses ho hud referred to wcro Messrs. Bums nnd McMurtry. Ho did , not know at that time that Mr. Cooper was implicated in the o ohargos , Mr. Gore's testimony was practically unimportant. At the afternoon session Mr. O'Slioa , ol the tirm of Kelley & O'Shoa , wus examined. . The bid of hla tlrm tor paving was about JU.600 lower than any oliior bid , yet thoj did not got the contract. They were.toll that the reason the contract was uot ( riven thotn was thut spcclmotiB of thuir material were uot tiled at the. time their bids wore tiled , yet they baa the samples present whoi the bids were opened and the contract ; awarded. His firm had not , to his know ! edge , offered any money to the council foi the contract , though bo had been told bj outsiders that ha could have bad the contract if they had used money enough. Lawyer Courtney Hiked the witness i Tim Kolkrv had not said tluit tun firm ol Kelley It O'Sbon had offered $0,000 for tin contract ud that they could have had it foi 110,000. Ho said hcT hnd no Vnowlcdgo of such an oftor. Tim Kelley \vas not n member of his firm. The committee ndjourned until Saturday nt 10 n , in. The City Council. The ohlof strtfo nt tlio session of the city council lastmqht wns nn oftorton the part of the old members suspected of being bood- lors to reorganize the Investigating com- mtttco and tnuko It the cntlro body. Coun cilman Pace started the ball by sugRostlng that In the end the entire council would have to pass on. the ovldonco taken , ana mov ing that the Investigating committee bo composed of the cntlro bodv. Mr. Hamilton opposed this nod sold If Mr. Meyer or the State Journal wanted to hamper the work of the Investigation by making the committco so large that It could never got n quorum , ho would resign the chairmanship. The resolu tion wns adontod nnd the twelve members of the city council were tnailo members of the > committee. Hamilton persisted In his deter- mitmtlotvto resign , After some further con sideration of the subject the resolution was reconsidered acd the committed left in its original shape. The necessity for a greater supply of water for the city water works wns discussed , nnd a committco was ap pointed to locate n now well on the An- tclopo. Hamilton brought up the subject of the delays In laying the brlcic paving , and moved to Instruct the board of public works to hasten tlio progress If possible. This was ado ptcd.
