The County Attorney Collects a Debt

trom INC central haIIroad,
Mr.. J. h. Saussy, the county attorney,

1892 and 1893. He was given two ii. fas.

under instructions from the attorney gen

treasury
This settles up the total amount of
taxes due by the road, with the exception
OF the interest for the time which the

paid at present. The road has made some

WAS LARkIN INSANE e?
A New Feature i'm the Contest Over
His Estate

Ills Estate.
The latest development in the contest
over the estate of the late William Larkin,
the capitalist. is that attempts will prob
ably be made to show that he was insane.
1t will be remembered that only the
other day Judge Levy granted special
letters Of administration to George Kava-
nagh. son Of Mrs. Elizabeth Kavanagh. to
whom the estate was beQueathed, over
ruling the application of j. ID. Sullivan on
behalf of Public Adm illustrator Freese.
Now Sullivan talks of applying to the
Supreme Court for q writ of eertiOrari, on
he ground that in cases where proceed
lngs have been begun which attack the
legality Of will neither the person named
IN the will as executor nor the party con-
testing the will should be appointed special
administrator. 1t is in the nature of suit
between partners where a receiver is
asked for.
George H. Perry. attorney for Larkin's
relatives, says that Larkin was insane for
many years. He intends to bring forward
a large NUN Der of witnesses, VITO will teS-
tify that they knew Larkin for ten or fif-
teen years and that they knew him TO be
out Of his mind. He will seek to upset the
will on this showing.
Meanwhile Judge Levy has made an
order directing George Kavanagh TO per-
NIT Attorney Perry TO inspect certain old
memorandum books belonging to LarBi D,
which Kavanagh has hitherto withheld.
