The Will of His Wealthy Widow Sus.

The Will of His Wealthy Widow sus-
 tafned at Salem.
 SALEM, Mass, Oct 26-The will of Mrs. Mary F. Hopkins-Searles has been admit ted to probate. and the case goes up on appeal to judge of the supreme court and jury upon the evidence produced before the lower court. The sudden termination of the case was 8 surprise, because the lawyers had asserted that they had volumes and volumes of evidence yet to be produced. But it seems that the con- testants are satisfied to go to the supreme court upon the case which they have pre- sented.
 It was 8 great disappointment that Tim othy Hopkins did not go upon the witness stand. He was subpenaed some weeks ago by tho counsel for MT. Searles. but at the last minute they concluded that they did not want him.
 The case was submitted without argu- ment, and Judge Harmon simply voiced the popular feeling when he said that tho charges of conspiracy to influence Mrs. Hopkins against her adopted son had ut terly failed of proof, and that the allega- tions of fraud and undue influence had absolutely no evidence to sustain them. The case cannot be reached by the supreme court before May next, and not even then unless the court consents to advance the case upon the docket.
