How William WooIley Decided Away His Prop
erty-Mrs. Davis Broken Promises.
There was a rather peculiar case before Judge
Bartch yesterday. 1t appeared from the testi-
nony that several years ago a man named
William Woouey became namored Of Mrs.
lydia N. Davis. He was married, however, but
ments were finally entered into between the
man and woman, 10 the effect that they would
marry when the divorce was obtained. The
consideration moving the female in the case
was the transfer OF Woolley's property
10 her for 500. II is now worth be-
tween 5000 and $1,000: The transfer was
occurred, Mrs Davis died. In the meantime,
realizing, perhaps, that she had not long to
i've, Mrs. Davis took into her employ a girl
BY the name of Minnie BrInton, promising the
latter, in exchange for her services, all her
property at the time of her demise. The young
lady accepted the offer, and renamed with Mrs.
Davis until the final summons came. Soon
after that event, she made application to the
court for the appointment of an administrator.
Later on, it was discovered that the deceased
had left a Will IN which MISS Br1nton, who had
been a faithful attendant, ana had carried out
her part of the contract was not even men
TONED.
bate. Arthur Brown. in behalf OF Miss Brinton,
protested against its admission. The case was
argued and taken under Amusement.
