superior SOuTts
The contest over the Hoadley will,
which has just ended in the superior
court, is said to have cost $4,000. No
tice OF appeal was filed.
The first of the court cases on the
superior court trial list was begun in
the superior court yesterday morning
before Judge Prentice. 1t was the APP
peal Of c. d. Warner from the decision
of the county commissioners, who
granted a license to James Carney to
sell liquor in Ansonia. The license is
contested because it is claimed it is
in a grocery store, that it is too near
a church and that Carney has the repu-
tation os selling to minors. The Law
and Order League detectives are wit
nesses in the case against Carney.
The appeal from the probate of the
will of Diana NJ Miles of Milford was
argued before the supreme court
judges yesterday. The will was admit
ter to probate in 1891 with lines drawn
through that portion of it in which
twenty shares of Consolidated railroad
stock were willed to Susan White and
Isabel Newton, nieces of the testator.
The court of probate decided that the
lines erased that part of the will.
With this portion erased the whole
of the estate was left to the residuary
legatees, Henry c. and David Miles.
The nieces appealed to the superior
court, which held that the entire will,
including the erased lines should
stand. The defendants appealed to the
supreme court, which will decide the
question.
Talcott H. Russell represented The
nieces, and James Fl. Webb and rX
Judge w. B. Stoddard the residuary
legatees. AS Judge Baldwin was con-
suited in the case he considered himself
disqualified and Judge Prentice of the
supreme court sat with the judges in
Judge Baldwin's place during the arsu-
ments in this case.
