FURTHER APPLICATIONS IN A COMPLICATED AND
REMARKABLE CASE.
The many-sided controversy over the dis
positon OF the estate of the late Catherine A. Merrill
came up in the form OF two motions before Justice
lawrence the Supreme Court, Chambers yesterday.
The arguments displayed the many complications which
have arisen the conflicting claims of the different
htgants In this Captain Merrill! and his wife,
Catherine A. Merrill made wills in 1856, by which each
left his her property to the survivor and George Mer
rill their adopted At Captain MerriPs death
George received about $4,000 But Mrs. Merrill be-
came esranged from the young after his marriage.
and gave bulk OF her fortune Of 100000 to Cardinal
McCOskey and Catholic benevolent institutions by a
will and codcil made I'm 1871 and 1879.
There are three distinct positions taken by different
parties to the proceedings In the suIrogates Court.
More than dozen nephews and nieces claim that Mrs.
Merrill was insane when she made the last Will and
cod,ci and that therefore she should be declared
TO have died ntestae George Merrill claims also that
this will and cOdcil should be refused probate because
Of Mrs Merrs insanity. but that the two wills Of 1886
being mutual aud rrevocable the made by Mrs Mer
nil that time and nferward partially destroyed by
her should be admitted probate The executors
principal lcgaees under the last VIII of course, oppose
both of these positions. The suit m the su.
rreyocabe and Mrs. Merrs last Will The counsel for
the executors yesterday applied before Judge Lawrence
for commissions take the testimony OF Mrs Mary Is
Thompson. OF New-Hdmpshire; Bishop Chatard and ID
barnard Smith, the Two latter being Witnesses 10 the
codici OF $50 Application also made for stay Of
the proceedings III the Supreme Cour until the ac Ion
before the Surrogate was concluded. Mr.. Mcclure
argued that exactly the same issue and the same evil
dence would come each proceeding, and to stay the
snt last begun until the other WAS finished would save
money and time. Mr. Parsons answered that George
Merrill had left mis- professional work IN Paris 10 attend
the hearings IN the case aud he ought not TO be put
70 the expense uselcssly Since the actions begun
six important witnesses ad died. and by the death of
thes and the probability OF the death OF other old per-
sons they were hazardnR their Case. The commission
TO take the testimony OF DR.. smith, the Roman priest
was opposed. Mr.. Parsons said the application should
have been made sooner. .
Ex-Judge Porter. In behalf OF Cardinal McCloskey
said That in the testimony taken by commission read
before the Surrogate tins week the evidence OF
favcrnkeeper OF Rome that Dr. Smith and Mr.. Merrill
used to get drunk and cOarscy carJuse together
