Judge Eongflen went to San Fran-.

forgery aud an effort to t;obtain by
fraud aud misrepresentation the

among several hundred relatives of
the late Mark Hopkins, most of
whom live in North Carolina and
many in Virginia, others being scat

A petition supplemental to one

Eongden, was also filed, asking the
court to appoint an administrator of
the Hopkins estate and to niake an
inventory and appraisal of it. also
asking that a commissioner be ap
pointed to make an investigation and
receive information tending to es
tablish the relationship and heirship
of the 200 or 300 many of

"We have them on the run all
