ROBBY WILLIAMS WILL
Counsel For Opponents Makes an
Opening Argument.
Says That The T:stator Was Weak.
Minded, but Not Insane.

In Judge Bosworths Court this morning the
taking of the testimony of the opponents OF
the will Of Mrs. Robby Williams OF Crsnston
which will the Court OF Probate had refused
to probate, was begun. The hearing before
the jury has now lasted three days and the
claim of Herbert b. Lockwood, who is the
chief beneficiary under tho will, may be
p ssed upon tomorrow.
Jacob w. Mathewson of counsel made the
opening statement in behalf Of the opponents
of the will. He said that il was not claimed
by his side that Mrs. Williams was insan,s
but that she was weak in body and mind,
being 90 years of age, and that tne will was
not tho product OF her mind, but of the mind
of some one else. He also accused Lockwood
of having received 5000 previous to Mr..
RefHiHst appointment guardian. MI.
Remington had recovered, Mr.. Mathewson
said. Judgment for s4l00 against Mr. Lock-
wood. Counsel admitted that in return for
$1,000 OF this sum Lockwood gave Mrs. Will
liams life interest in piece of property in
Warwick, from which she derived no income
and which life interest Mr. Lockwood got ne,'
to transfer after n time to his father. There
would be'no question, counsel further stated,
that on such topics as the weather Mrs viii
name was mentioned Mrs Williams became
subject to hallucination that she was. first
to be married to Lockwood, and after time
that she had been married TO him.
Mrs. Mary NJ. Stone. one or the subscribing
witnesses TO the will, testified that she had
known Mrs. Williams p years, and that Mrs.
Williams had lived at the same place in Au-
burn all that time, and that she was over 20
years of age when witness first knew her
Mrs. Williams had an iron constitution, but
was feeble in mind when the will was made
Witness remembered meeting Lockwood at
Mrs. Williams but once, but had frequently
seen him going 10 the house on week days and
Sundays. One occasion of talk with deceased
was when Mrs. Williams asked her as an old
member to sign will. and Mrs. stone said
she took the opportunity to tell Mrs Williams
how foolish she was to be so devoted to a
young man, and Mrs Williams had replied
that Lockwood knew nothing about her bust
ness.
A number Of relatives testified and main
tanned, as did some acuuaintances of the de-
ceased, that Lockwood exercised undue infiu-
ence over the deceased.
