BRATTLEBORO TESTIMONY
Introduced In the Hayes VIII Case Hear
Inga East Cambridge, Mass.

The Francis B. Hayes will case has been
before the Middlesex county court at East
Cambridge, Mass, the past three weeks,
on appeal of the wife, Nino Katherine
Hunt Hayes of Weathersield. 1t was
heard several months ago and Judge Nc
lntyre sustained the will which cut off
Mrs. Hayes and the only child, Harold,
with the amount originally settled on them
at the time of the separation of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayes. The value of the estate is
100000. The case has attracted the at
tention of Brattleboro people from the fact
that Mrs. Hayes is connected with one of
the most notable families of this town.
Her husband, who was high roller, in
herited a large fortune, and he spent
money lavishly. He had a summer home
at Weathersheld at one time, and after he
and Mrs. Hayes separated he was severely
beaten by her brothers because of remarks
he had made. Hayes died abroad about
two years ago.
AT the testimony hearing Wednesday
former servants in the Hayes and Hunt
families at Weathersfield told of improprie-
ties on the part of Mrs. Hayes.
Thomas Heaphy, the Brooks House por-
ter, was called as a witness, and testified
that in 1890 Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Upham
and Mrs. Hayes registered and stayed at
the hotel. A former Brattleboro boy was
called next, and this is the Boston Globes
| account of his testimony: "Joseph Ferri-
ter, conductor on the West End railroad,
and in 1890 bell boy at the Brooks House,
IN Brattleboro, when the persons men
toned by the previous witness STAYED
there, said that while passing by the door
of the room during the evening he saw
Mrs. Hayes sitting on a lounge. He had
carried several drinks to the room during
the evening, and concluded that the occu-
pants were having very good time. In
cross-examination he admitted that he was
ferreting out information at the suggestion
of lawyer named Hit, who told him to
report to him what he saw the persons do
during the evening""

Suit was brought against John Manning,
Familiarity known as "SlyfaX," Wednes-
day, by his brother, William w. Manning,
to recover an old book account. Ow-
ing to the absence of Lawyer Hit the
hearing of the case was continued to this
morning, but it has not yet come off.
Miss Sarah Macdonald, the harpist, who
was to spend several weeks at II. H.
Thompson's, returns to Boston next Mon
day because of professional engagements.
In order that Miss Macdonald might have
an opportunity of meeting Brattleboro peo-
pie Mrs. Thompson gave an "at home in
her honor from to o'clock yesterday
afternoon. About 100guests were present
and the occasion, in spite of the storm,
was a delightful one. Mrs. Thompson
and Miss Slate were assisted in receiving
by Mrs. G. G. Averill and Mrs. G. F. R.
JENNIE. Misses Florence Howe and Edith
Greene poured chocolate, and refreshments
were served by Misses Lucia Foster, Flor
ence Foster, Matte Parker and Bessie
White. The guests were entertained by
several beautiful selections upon the harp
by Miss Macdonald. The dining room
was brilliantly Illuminated with Candida
bra.
The Van Doom Failure.
The personal schedule of E. H. Van
Doom, which has been filed in the court
of insolvency during the past week, shows
a large increase in his individual liabilities
over the amount reported week ago. The
figures show total liabilities of $61, 704,
with assets of S26,341. The principal
items of increase, are, in addition to those
given last week, a mortgage to the Yer
mont Savings bank of S6375, one to James
NJ. Tyler of $3445, and one to Mrs. II.
NJ. Angler of $1221. Slight changes in
the Van Doom & Morris and Jordan IL
Van Doom schedules make the total liza
bilities of the first named firm S25,3l6.65
and of the last named SIS, 726.87. The
three together show liabilities of sos, 746.
The Van Doom & Tilson schedule was
filed at Rutland Saturday. The liabilities
and assets of this firm are not known def
nitely by Mr.. Van Doom. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. S. l.. Van Doom, Mr.. Van
Doorn's mother, will also go into insolven-
cy, as the only way of settling the compli-
Gated affairs involved in the failure.

vlously as clerks. For many years the firm
has been one of the best known and most
reliable in its line in the East, its business
amounting to 100000 and upward an
nually.
