HE MAY CONTEST.
Judge Cole Refuses to Set n Verdict
Aside.


Aside.
Another step was taken today in the con-
test over the estate of the late Annie E.
Northcutt, well kr own in a certain section
of the city as Stella Horton, when Judge
Cole refused to set aside a verdict render
ed several weeks ago, declaring George
H. Northcutt of Hartford county, Md, to
be the legitimate son of the woman.
The woman died here March I, 1898. and
by an alleged will made shortly previous to
her death, left her estate, estimated to
be worth about $4,000, to Mira Dugan of
New York, half sister, and to Jos. H.
Mccain, a resident of this city, said to
have been friend of the deceased woman.
Another alleged will of an earlier date dis
posing of the estate among relatives, was
brought to light, but, being contested by
Mrs Dugan and Mccain. was set aside
Meantime. young Northcutt made his ap-
pearance, claiming the right to contest the
later will on the ground that he was the
legitimate son of the dead woman The
Probate Court thereupon certified the sole
question Of the young mans alleged re-
lationship and legitimacy to the Circuit
Court, for trial by Jury.
This trial took place before Judge Cole
several weeks age. Northcutt introduced
testimony tending to show that he was the
iSSuc VI d lawful IldTTidRo between the
dead woman and a man named Northcutt
In California: that upon his fathers death
his mother brought him to Washington
and that she subsequently placed him in
the care Of a charitable institution in Bal
tisnore. BY that institution, the boy
showed he was bound out to a farmer in
Hartford county. Nd, where he grew to
manhood. He never saw his mother, it
was said, after she placed him with the
institution, learning of her residence here
and death by an accident.
The jury returned a verdict after a holly
contested trial of several days, declaring
the young man to be the legitimate son of
the woman. whereupon Messrs. Shillington
and Forrest, counsel for Mrs. Dugan and
Mccain, moved to set the verdict aside
on the ground that the woman's alleged
declarations were not suite to sustain
1t, Messrs. Classic & Son, representing the
young man. contending, of course. that
they were. Judge Cole, in an elaborate
opinion. today sustained the verdict, and
refused to set 1T aside: While the verdict
merely grants young Northcutt the right
tt contest the will, 1T is understood that
the case will be carried, on an appeal by
Mrs. Dugan and Mccain, to the Court Of
Appeals

Sues for Damages.

Chief Justice Bingham and jury mad
before them yesterday and today the case
of John b. Battineau against Francis w.
Crosby, in which damages amounting to
$4,000 are asked because of alleged ma
licious prosecution.
In the fall of 1891 the plaintiff was a
guest at the Crosby House, this city, con-
Quoted by the defendant. On the 21st of
November, 1891, Mr.. Battineau was ar
rested on a warrant charging him with
yaerancy alleged to have been sworn out
by the defendant in order to get rid OF
him.
The case was dismissed in the Police
Court, and thereupon Mr.. Battineau sued
the defendant. On the stand yesterday Mr..
Battineau denied the charges of drunk
enness and of misconduct attributed to
him while a guest of the defendant. and
also denied being in arrears as to his board
bill He claimed that he was a man of
some property; that he was a reputable
Indian claim agent, and denied in any way
being vagrant.
In defense. several witnesses testified
that Mr.. Bdttineau was addicted to intoXi-
cation while a guest of the defendant, and
Mr.. John b. McCarty, formerly local
newspaper man, testified that the plaintiff
was anything but a desirable guest, and
that he had advised Mr.. Crosby to fire
Tim out unceremoniously and without
apology.
The case was still on trial this afternoon.

Warrants Not Issued.

The warrants applied for yesterday by
representatives Of the Anti-saloon League
have not yet been issued. nor is 1t likely
now that such warrants will be issued, I'M
less Mr.. Thomas. the attorney, gives orders
to this effect. The persons for whom the
warrants are wanted are acting under or
ders from the excise board. There is some
talk of the league beginning mandamus
proceedings against Mr. Pugh. the assist
ant attorney, to compel him to issue the
warrants, but this course, 1t is thought,
would avail nothing, for even II required 10
issue the warrants the Commissioners
could. If they so desired. order the attorney
to nolle pros them.
