IiLL IS valid
Sealed Verdict Of the Jury Sst-
ties the Contest.
SANE WHEN HE MADE IT
No Undue influence Was Exerted Upon
Him-The Question of Fraud Was
Not InvOIved-Judge COx's Charge
Concerning This Feature-The
Property Is Worth $50 900.

The Jury in the contest over the will Of the
late James L. Young, made by his brother,
Thomas f. Young, this morning brought In
sealed verdict sustaining the will.
Their answers were that Mr.. Young was
of sound mind when the will was made, and
no undue influence was exerted upon him.
The question of fraud was not really In
volved, though formal answer was made
that no fraud was pra cticed.
A. L. Worthington, in closing the case for
Thomas Young, said the will of James E.
Young was made al a time wien Mr.. Young
was no longer able to sign has own name.
The signature was by proxy.
HE COULDN'T REMEMBER.
For months James Young had been
practically densented. He couldn't remem-
Der whether he had eaten his dinner and
would demand a second dinner fifteen
minutes after he had finished hearty
meal. He saw the phantom OF old DIR.
Gray at night; quarreled with bis neigh
bors; shot ~ane.oin the loot; struck DR..
Cotter over the head with a board; went
about shooting and striking man and beast
with a vindictiveness that could come
only out OF q disordered mind.
Then it was claimed Mr. Young was
always shrewd about his business af-
fairs. The truth was he did all sorts Of
wild things. He paid negro boy $1.25 a
day for half an hours work. The boy
testified that he thought it was funny,
but it WAS soft enough snap for him."
and he said nothing.
BEFORE HIS DEATH.
For more than a year before his death
Mr.. Young couldn,tget his own money from
the Bank of Washington, without an order
from brother Bin or somebody else.
Judge Cole, charging the jury, said 1t was
agreed by both parties there was no fraud,
and the jury should answer the statutory
interrogatory ON that point, mo" For
the rest the burden Of proof was upon the
party attempting to break the will. The
law presumed mental soundness on the par
Of the testator till the opposite was proved.
Mr.. Young died October 10, 1892, and
his will was made October /, preceding.
The testator lived in Virginia and had re-
tired from business here a number Of years
before his death. He had a quarrel with his
Brother Thomas. His property, worth $780,
900. was left to his brothers, VIM. A.
Young and the late John NJ. Young, to Mrs.
Margaret L. Gaddis, niece, with small
bequests to others.

clay for rat poison to various flour and
baking firms here. and indicted for false
pretenses, was continued before Judge Cox
this morning.
After the introduction of four witnesses

The prosecution introduced late yester-

burn Flour Company, Minneapolis, and 9TH
er firms, some OF which are used as refer
ences upon the advertising cards used by

This evidence was, however, ruled out.
Marshall 8. Gregory, q clerk, and william
Fields, a waiter at the Lexington Hotel,
and j. W. Smith, OF the express Company,
were introduced to prove that Wanneck
was at the hotel and shipped the powder

the powder sold by Wanneck given him by

der.
When Mr.. woodworth asked whether

Jeffords objected on the ground that Mr..
Evans, not .heinS an analytical Chemist.

tained. ''i-
Mr.. Woodwork, arguing the law in the
