Allng, counsel for John H. Whiting, who was accompanied by his client and Hobart L. Hotchhiss, one of the executors The case came up a week ago and was continued until yesterday.
 A final contest had been decided upon, but, owing to misunderstanding between the attor- neys, only one of the subscribing witnesses to the will, Dr. Ski6, was present to prove the decu- ment. 1nasmuch as the contest was merely fer nal, Judge Robertson decided to hear 1t, and to facilitate matters the one witness was sworn. pr, skif testified that the usual formalities of sign. ing the VII had been gone through with at the time and that Mrs. Beers was ot sound and dis posing mind.

 Judge Demfn&.

Common Pleas COurt-CIvfl Side Judge Demfng. The jury in this coErt yesterday after half an hours deliberation awarded Mrs. Marie Kapitzke $63O. Mrs. Kapitzke sued the German Mutual Burial Aid society to recover s630 which she alleged was due to her upon the death of her husband, August Kapi'zke.
 The Burial society refused to pay her, alleging that her husband had wilfully mis- represented his age when he sent in his application. The society agreed to refund Mrs. Kapitzks all the money her husband had paid to the society. This she refused to accept aud brought suit.
 A very Interesting question arose during the trial of the case. The society wished to intro. duce as evidence church records from Germany to show the date of Kapitzkes birth. Attorney Zacher, counsel for Mrs Kapitzke, objected on the ground that the records were not official and really were not material they could not show that Kapitzk Ike knew his correct age The defend ant, through Attorney O. F. Bollmann, contended that as Kapitzke h Id been married five times marriage that he did know how old he was.
 Judge Deming admitted the evidence to tend to show the age. An exception was taken by MT. Lacher. He won his case, however, despite the admission of the records, as the jury award ed Mrs. Kapitzke full damages

before they had arisen, could hear the continu-
ous rumble of wheels, the hoarse shouts of the
drivers and the iucessant chatter of the pedes-
