hen handed it TO Mr.. Reilly for his Gig

| then handed 1t to Mr.. helily lol t'o
nature. 1t was taken to Mr. heil.y =
| home. He was taken sick that day Win
/ his fatal Illness He was last at tho
store the dav before-Chistmas, 1871.
! When asked how he distIngulshed
/ between the letters which were dlctated
and those which were not, ALT. " Ne!ll
| said most OF them we're marked, put IN
some cases his recollection as to the CIR
| cumstances was vivid.
Mr Reilly sometimes Went 10 steep
| while ct the Office, but when awake
his mind was clear. He often asked
questions over after they had been
answered, but he seemed to do this to
| gain time in making up ms nina
! definitely as to how he should WORD MS
| letter.
The witness had kept account, he
said, of all receipts and disbursements.
Mr.. Russell asked him to state II .I Tue
| George Reilly and A. q: Jamlson
had received money from the
| executors, and if go, how much?
! TO this Mr. Hubbard objected, but Mr..
Russell urged that il was the desire to
show that all the-net income OF the
estate had been paid to them.
On this issue there was rather warm
| passage, Mr.. Russell declaring that the
net income had been paid to the Reilly
will began, but since; this IN response
to the remark of Mr.. Hubbard that II
the executors won they might stop all
such payments tho next day. MIR. Rus
sell continued that in accepting the
money the contestants had practically
acknowledged tho validity OF the WILL
The question was lett unsettled When
court adjourned till , o'clock p. IN.
In the afternoon Mr.. O'Neill made
Of n
OF the letters spoken Of in the forenoon,
and the disputed point was again taken
up. Judge Cam pbell overruled the OBJ
lection and said the testimony as to
money paid could be given.
The witness said that $3.50 4 month
had been paid to Mrs. Irene Reilly,
john j. and George V. Reilly and Hell
en- Jamison from June l, 1892, to
March Is. 1893. inclusive. On February
by each of those named endorsed by
them. Since March, 1898, they had re-
ceived in the aggregate $3.50 95, in adj
dition to $3.50 a month. On May lG,
1892, they received 5000 each, an
amount for groceries being deducted.
Mr.. Russell. in the course of this in
curry, explained that he and his CO.
counsel appeared not only for the ex-
ecutors, but for Mrs. Thomas Reilly aud
uGT 4h'oo ttSiitSs go
well. Mr.. Hubbard said this was news
to his side.
In answer to question Mr.. O'Neill
said he considered Mr.. Reilly all right
mentally, and thought he had clear
understanding of all the matters brought
to his attention. Here the examination
in chief ended, and Mr.. Hubbard be-
gan the cross-eXamination.
The witness was first asked how much
money had boon paid to the executors
out OF the income OF the estate, and he
said he did not know. He was asked ii
il was as much as $4,000 and again
said he did not know. Then Mr.. Hub
bard produced an estimate of the COM
missions they had received, aggregating
over $4,000, and asked ii it was not
nearly correct. Mr.. O'Neill answered
that he thought it WAS about right.
The letters were then taken up one at
time by Mr.. Hubbard and the witness
questioned closely as to each one and
tho circumstances under which it was
written. In nearly every instance he
said that there were repetitions aud
sometimes omissions in the original
drafts of tho letters which he found it
necessary to correct, and the fact was
brought out that generally the matter
dictated or written by MIR. Reilly was
first told or explained to him by some
body else. Mr.. O'Neill was still on the
stand and the letters under consider
| alton in this detailed way when court
adjourned till 0:30 a. IN. to-day.
