Seven-Year Law Relating
to AbSenteeS' Estates.
Statute Had Been in Force
For More Than a Century.
Now the Appellate Court Declares II
Unconstitutional.

A very important decision was handed
down by the Appellate Court today.
The case in which the opinion was given
was that of Peter Carr VS.. John A. Brown
ct al. The court holds that the statute
providing for the administration by
courts of probate of anv town or city on
the estate of a person who has not been
heard from directly or indirectly for
seven years the same as IL the person were
dead 10 be unconstitutional.
Though statutes of similar import 10
the one that was in force until today
have existed for more than century,
state has been called upon To adjudicate
upon them.
The opinion of the court. which was
written by Judge Tillinghast. cites many
decisions in other states TO show that the
effect OF tho statute may not deprive
person Of his property without due pro-
cess of law.
Letters Of adIni nistration were taken
out on the estate Of the plaintiff who for
morly resided in South Kingston before
leaving for parts that were for time
unknown. Bridget McGuire, sister Of
the plaintiff, was the petitioner for nd
ministrator on his estate and after three
months notice John A. Brown was APP
pointed administrator and three years
from the time of his appointment MIR.
Brown distributed the estate according
TO law. The amount of the estate was
S22i5. 66 and this sum the administrator
and Bridget McGuire or Hugh Mcclure
must account 10 Peter Carr who for n
good many years has been IA resident of

STILL HAS II.
The Cunningham Child Remains In
Custody of Mrs. Arnold.

The infant Mary Cunningham, Is still
under the charge Of Mrs. Arnold Of Paw
tucket against whom there is a case pend
ing for conducting baby farm
without license. Who is paying Mrs.
Arnold for her trouble, does not appear.
Information was brought TO the Office
OF the Pawtucket Post to the effect that
the overseer of the poor was paying the
child's board. but that official when inter
viewed by Post reporter, yesterday, de-
MED that he allowed the woman any
money for that purpose.
The reporter called upon Mrs Arnold
at her home last evening 10 inquire about
that matter, but Mrs. Arnold was not in
a communicative mood. In fact, she could
not see why people wanted TO pry into her
business.
She said she did not know where the
mother OF Mary Cunningham is at present
and what arrangements she had made with
the overseer Of the poor for taking care OF
the child was her own business. She ad-
mitted however, that she was not board
ing the child for nothing.
Mrs. Arnold also declined TO answer
the question as to how many children
had died upon her hands while she has
been in the baby business.
The reporter asked II it was true that Q
few years ago one uf the children died.
and on the dav of the funeral another
child aged about Is months who was
under her care, was seen running about
eating q piece of bread and meat, and that
a few days later that child was also dead
The woman asked who told that story,
but as the Post reporter was not anwer-
ing question he declined TO state who was
the informant except that IL was person
who knew her.

Burglar Brown Sends a Letter Of
Thanks 10 His Counsel.

James A. Brown. the burglar who was
sentenced in the Common Pleas Court n
short time aeo, is not devoid of gratitude, as
shown by his letter TO Lawyer Vance of Paw

Brown is bold, fearless and cunning. His
capture was effected by Sergeant Cilmartin
of this city in a very peculiar manner, more
by good luck than good management.
So many burglaries had been committed
that the East side was patrolled by officers in
citizens clothes At o'clock a. m.. March

FALL ON A HARD ROAD.

They could be caused by fall on a
hard road. DIR. kimball could not say
that the wounds were not caused by a
fall.
In reply to- Judge Warner the witness
said that tho wound In front was suf-
cient TO cause death. That blow on the
back of the head might have injured the
brain. Tho blow might have come from
either IN front or back.
IL he found man dead with those
wounds ON his head he would say they
were the cause OF death. The blow on
the forehead could have killed Johnson.
In tho witness opinion it was violence
on the forehead that killed Johnson.
