INVOLVED IN FEUDS.
Commodore Benedict Waging
War on Clam Diggers.
SAYS THAT THEY ARE TRESPASSINC.
Was Also Engaged In Dispute With
Mine Host stubbs, Whose Hostelry
the Yachtsman Deemed Too
Near His Premises.

GREENWICH, Conn, Dec. Com
modore e. c. Benedict is up in arms
again, this time against the fishermen
who, he claims. have encroached upon
his property. The fishermen have been
digging clans. he claims, on the shores
OF Finchs island formerly known as
Tweeds island. Mr. Benedict is a ia
nous yacht owner and has many times
entertained former President Cleveland,
whose warm friend he is. He has been
engaged for some time in q feud with
a saloon keeper, James Stubbs 10y
name. who keeps a small hostelry at the
junction Of the steamboat and Indian
Harbor roads,
The commodore objects 20 what he
calls encroachments on his property
and is very bitter against the fisher
men, as bitter. indeed. as he was
against Stubbs. Tlnchs island is a re-
cent addition to Mr.. Benedicts de-
mesne, and the fishermen have not rec
ognized that fact with any great alac-
rity. They have kept right on digging
clans along the forbidden shores just
as they used to do when the island
practically belonged TO them, or. in fact,
any one who went clam hunting.
the island that any one caught digging
clans viii be arrested and prosecuted.
The fishermen, like the unassuming
Stubs, propose TO carry on the fight
to the bitter end. And so does the COM
modore. The fishermen are quite will-
ing to be arrested and prosecuted, as
they claim the commodore has not the
right to interfere with them.
The outcome OF the present feud
hangs upon a nice distinction as TO
boundary lines, just as did the little
feud with Saloon Keeper stubbs. The
fishermen claim that the CLAIMS grow
between high and low water mark and
that this ground is common property.
just as IL was before the island passed
into the hands of the commodore. The
decisions of the courts, they say. as
well as the statute law of the state.
uphold their contention.
Already the fishermen have consult
ed counsel, and they have been advised
that they are right in their contention.
1t is necessary. these lawyers say. for
Mr.. Benedict to secure a grant from
the state before he can claim exclusive
right to the clam belt I'm question. Both
sides say the matter viii be taken TO
the courts.
The little affair with James Stubs
saloon keeper, was a bitterly fought
contest Indian Harbor road is a part
of the entrance to the commodore's
grounds The carriage drive 10 the
railway station passed around two
sides of Stubbs' saloon
The commodore. il is said, was par
ticularly bitter against Stubbs because

brought by Mrs. Sarah Ann Angel
against the Gould estate for right Of
dover has been dismissed by the su-
preme court, The jury did not leave
their seats. 1t is intimated that as
result some retaliatory action may be
taken against Mrs. Angel.
Margaret e. Coady, who, II is claim
ed, induced Mrs. Angel to bring the ac-
tion. was the last witness on the stand
She testified that Mrs. Angel had given
a deed for the property she expected
TO get out of the suit in favor of herself
and Asa J. Parker, an Albany lawyer.
Her testimony failed to implicate her
I'm the conspiracy against the Gouids, If
there was one. 1t was then that coun-
sci for the plaintiff asked that the suit
be dismissed. The judge put the ques-
tion to the jury, and after a moments
consultation the foreman nodded his
head in assent.
Miss Helen Gould, plainly dressed in
a purple waist and dark suit, was in
court. Miss Gould sat in the front row
surrounded by women friends, all but
one of whom were elderly. Her brother
Frank was seated close to her.
At the table reserved for lawyers sat
a thin, aged woman in widows weeds,
who twitched nervously in her chair.
This was Margaret e. Coady. There
were but few uninterested spectators in
the courtroom. Miss Gould gazed about
the courtroom through pair Cf eye
glasses. She chatted pleasantly with
her companions while waiting Cor the
case to be called.
After a verdict in another action had
been rendered the case of Angel
against Gould was called. Miss Gould
at once displayed interest and leaned
forward in her chair in an attempt to
hear what was said. Mrs. Coady arose
from her seat and spoke in almost in
audible tones to Judge Freedman.
All that could be understood of her
remarks was that she wished the judge
70 accept two affidavits which she held
in her hand. Judge Freedman in
formed her that he would consider ac-
ceptance of the afidavits when the
case was taken up after a recess.
An attempt was made when court re-
convened to have Mrs. Angels suit
withdrawn. Mr.. Root was on his feet
in an instant and fought the motion.
saying that Mrs. Angel had hurt the
reputation of the Gould heirs. and he
wanted the case finished in open court.
The motion to withdraw was denied
and the case went on, although Mrs.
Angel admitted on a previous occasion
that she was never married to jay
