In April last, Richard Dryden Addington
willed his entire estate TO his executor, Albert
Day. of New York, in trust for the Cooper
Union. His infant SOB, William Weed, bearing
the maiden name of his mother, in conse-
Quence of difference between his parents
by his guardian contests the will on the
ground of insanity, and seeks to show that on
account of disappointment In love with fas-
cinating widow the mind of the testator took
peculiar religious turn, and he was thereby led
TO give up his business Us life insurance agent.
witness for the contestant testified that the
testator told him that ray of light struck him.
penetrated his skull, and entered his brain, and
from that moment he became q component part
of God.
The testator believed his conversion similar
to st. Paul's, the agency being hgnt. He de-
clared that In whatever he did he asked the
direction and guidance of God. He thought 1t
sinful to do business while he had enough of
this worlds goods, and believed himself trus-
tee of God in the disposition of his property.
The witness thought it indicated very pecu-
liar state OF mind to ask Gods direction in this
manner. Although aware that the Testament
taught that whatever you do, whether you eat
or drink, you do all to the glory of God"
he considered the testator at least peculiar In
following such precepts.
On being asked by the executor whether it
was considered by him any more peculiar" that
ray of light should strike a man in this age
than in the age of st. Paul. the witness replied,
II do not believe in miracles at present. God
has no need of these agencies in this time" In
answer to the question how he determined
that" the witness replied, ~ suppose, as every
one has, they have a conscience given them by
God"
The contestants counsel objected to the exc
cutors question, "Do you know the purposes of
God SO that you can determine that il is not
essential now to do these things?" and the Sur
rogate sustained the objection.
On the Oath of January, 1859, the Circuit
Court of Richmond, Virginia, decreed that the
testator and his wife should be divorced, and
that neither should, by virtue of the relation
heretofore existing between them, have any
right to a claim upon the person of the other,
or the estate TO which the other might be enti-
tied, and Mrs. Addington, by her counsel, ac-
ceped $4,000 ia full satisfaction and discharge OF
all claim che then had or might thereafter have
upon her husband, or against his estate, for the
maintenance of herself and her infant child.
