THE STEWART WILL CASE POSTPONED.
MISS CLINcHs DEATH CAUSES COMPLICATION

MISS CLINCH's DEATH CAUSES COMPLICATION
HER WILL TO DE OFFERED FOR PROBATE.
A number OF people were present at the SurrogateS
Court yesterday to listen to the proceedings In the stew
art will case At the last regular hearing tho compe
tency OF the testimony OF Mrs Prescott Hall Butef
was tho subject OF long and interesting discussion ana
argument. The case had been adjourned until mon
day and on that day the courtroom was well crowded
with those VINO waited there in patience until 1t was
announced that the Surrogate had postponed the hear
ing on account of the funeral of Miss julia Cinch,
sister OF Mrs. Stewart, who, as hclra'-law, hdu
one fifth interest In the estate
Yesterday however, there was another disappont
ment for tho followers of the case When Surrogate
Ransom took his eXJudge Choate OF the counsei
for the contestants announced on behalf OF his clients
his willingness to have the hearing go on. Ex-Judge
Russell of the opposing COUNSEL offered objections,
questioning the authority of the Surrogate to allow
the case to 60 on without the new heirs being person
ally represented. Mr. Choatc said that MS cileh'S
were willing TO run the risk of the new heirs ques
toning the course Of action that might be pursued
by counsel for the contestants. After some good
humored discussion between counsel and some whs-
pering groups, the Surrogate adjourned the hearing
until January 2S appointing also January 20 and ~
and February a, 5, 6, Il, IL and 10 for the con
tinuance Of the cast
The death of Miss Cllnch adds new complication
to the case, although, was said by counsel, IL
offers no serious obstacle to its prosecution. The
adjournment was merely matter Of precauton, that
the Will of Miss Clinch might be offered for probate
and that her heirs might In turn be represented IN
the Miss Clnch and her two sisters enjoyed,
according to the terms of the Will $4,000 year
each and tho house in which they lived. If the viii
should be BROKEN tho provisions made by Mrs Stewart
Miss Cllnch's heirs would stlll inherit her one.hfth
of the estate to which, as heir at law she would have
been entitled had there been VIII. The Hilouln
