DANGER N THE APPEAL

II Is Hard 10 Apportton Responsible
ity for Mechanics and Laborers' Debts.
James Chester and one Fay, who 20
gether had $1,000 deposited in the de-
funct Mechanics and Laborers' Bank,
have fled an appeal from order Of
Chancellor McGill approving the COM
promise OF si20.000 offered to the de-
positors through Recetver Washington
B. Williams. IL was reported that other
depositors would join these men
in the effort TO recover the
full amount OF their deposit with inter
est, but Receiver Williams said this
morning 10 a JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter
that he thought there was no foundation
for this rumor. because the holders OF re-
ceipts for but few thousands OF the
amount deposited had been heard from
as opposing the acceptance Of the CON-
promise, while the depositors OF over
500 900 had expressed themselves as fav-
orable to its acceptance.
The Court of Appeals win be obliged to
examine all claims in order to fix the re-
sponsibility on the proper defendants
There are about twenty OF these, who
held offices at different times, and who
are not willing TO .-sake themselves re-
sponsible for negligent aud careless in-
vestments made by bank officials when
they were not in Office. They Will hold
that the liability should be graded. Thus
a great many points of doubt are involved
on the appeal.
.'If the responsibility" said Mr.. Will
Jams, could be fastened upon several of
the defendants the entire amount OF
Sl65, 900 could be collected; but IL will be
difficult work to accomplish this"

A Wealthy Brooklyn Man Who 1t Is
Thought, Came to Jersey City by
Mistake.
Chief Murphy has been notified by tele-
graph that James L. Hawkins, aged
seventy years, of No. $50 Hart street.
Brooklyn, had been missing from his
home since Thursday morning.
When he left he was on his way to visit
Lawyer William Low, brother of ex-
Mayor Seth Low, whose office is at No.
102 Broadway, New York.
He had in his possession between 5000
and 81, 900. handsome gold watch and a
fine gold headed cane, ON which was en-
graved "Old Hawkins, No. 142 Hart
street."
He was formerly well known butcher

tired about nfteen years ago with property
valued at between 5000 900 and $500, COO
His wife is living, aud he has five chill
dren all well established in business. His
only daughter, Susan, is the wife Of
James w. Phelps, and lives at No. $50
Greene avenue.
Mr.. Hawkins relatives feared at first
that he has been taken i'll, and have Wis
tied all the hospitals, police stations aud
the Morgue, but without getting any trace
of the old man. Now they think he be-
came dazed and by mistake crossed the
wrong ferry TO Jersey City, and perhaps
wandered off 20 the meadows somewhere.

and walked with a firm step. His hair
and mustache were of dark iron gray.

TRElR INHERITANCE SAVED.
An Odd Complication in the VIII of
Patrick Burns.


Patrick Burns, of Fifth street. died re-
Gently, and today his viii was offered for
probate It bequeathed all his estate
equally to his five children. The property
is valued at about $4,000
In examining the witnesses to the will
Judge Lippiucott discovered that 1t had
been drawn up by one of the sons and
witnessed by two. 1t was also learned
that Burns, who could not write, made
his mark to the document but not in the
presence of one of the witnesses.
This fact saved the two sons their share
in the estate, for under the law a witness
10 a will cannot be a legatee. The fact
that Burns did not make his mark in the
presence of one of the children who wit
messed the instrument made the will ille-
gal and the Court will distribute the prop
erty equally according TO law.
This distribution is Just such as the de-
ceased intended, but had not the teehni-
cal legal defect been discovered by Ex-
Judge Garrick, and submitted to the
Court before the will was probated, the
effect would have been TO have barred
the Two children who signed as witnesses
from inherlIing.
