Superior Court-Civil Side-Judge Prem
tice

In the case of the appeal from pro-
bate of the will of DR.. Frederick H.
Hoadley, the cross examination of DR..
Noyes of Boston, who was giving tes-
timony in regard to Mr.. Hoadley's men
tai condition was conducted by Mr..
Fessenden, counsel for the executors,
DIR. Moves having been on the witness
stand the afternoon before when court
adjourned.
Mr.. Fessenden asked various ques-
tons concerning the condition of DR..
Hoadleys mental powers at the time
of his confinement i'll Blooming
dale, but objection was made to these
questions, and Judge Prentice ruled
that the questions could be asked of
the witness as to the mental powers
of DR.. Hoadley at any particular time,
but not of the general character of his
mental powers. Being asked the ques-
ton as to whether Dr. Hoadley, when
he was discharged from the Blooming
dale asylum, in 1886, was mentally
sound Dr. Noyes said he thought he
was.
The next witness was DR.. Schley of
New York, who attended DR.. Hoadley
III ilS ldSt llllltSS dt L dllll pedCA. L Id.
He testified that at that time he thought
DR.. Hoadley's death was due to heart
failure, probably induced by morphine,
He could not remember the details of
his diagnosis of DR.. Hoadley's case.
In his deposition which was read in
court, Horace Holden of East Orange,
N j., said that he had known DR..
Hoadley since 1872, and was friendly
to him. He said he saw him in pad
ded cell in the Bellevue hospital in New
York in 1885. Dr. Hoadley's clothing
was off and he did not recognize Mr.
Holden. "He continually talked" Mr.
Holden said, "of being executed by the
order of the queen. Later he jumped
up and throttled me, and had to call
the keeper and nurse to separate us.
Later I saw him in q private room in
Bloon1ingda1e asylum, and he threw a
pillow at me.
cdr. Hoadley confessed to me that
he used morphine and gave me
syringes to keep so that he could break
off the habit. He admitted to me that
he used belladonna on his eyes so that
I would not discover the effect of NOR
phine on them
Captain James H. Brewer of the Dix
well avenue precinct testified to having
taken DR.. Hoadley from the New Ha-
ven house to the Bloomingdale asylum,
Brooklyn. The officer said that he had
to break down the door of the testator's
room.
Ex-Major Joseph H. Keefe corrobo-
rated the statements of Captain Brewer.
The examination of A. Fl. Kimberly.
who was the administrator on the es-
state of George Hoadley, the father of
the testator, was haing conducted when
court adjourned.
