Assignment Of His appeal From the Probate
Court The Polntat Issue.
OTHER MATTERS WERE DISCUSSED.
i Was Stated Thai Wills Claims Allowed Amount
10 Nearly $4,000 The Sum In Hands Of
Administrator is Only $4,000.

There was a lively legal ski--Sish i'm
the Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court this morning i'm which the affairs
OF the late Thomas Hedleys estate
were touched upon at some length. The
matter OF arranging the probate appeal
of Roger f. Capwell VS.. Frank b. Haz-
ard, administrators. was the point really
up for consideration. This appeal was
from decision OF the Municipal Court
directing the sale of the intestate's real
estate to pay his debts.
Irving Champlin, counsel for Mr..
Hazard. wanted the appeal set down
for hearing at an early date. Judge
Rogers wanted TO know how the case
came To the Appellate Division. one
of the counsel suggested ii was a jury
trial waived case and the other said no
jury trial was claimed. wnereupon the
first counsel said il was the same as
jury trial waived case.
Judge Rogers Informed the counsel
that there was a difference. In jury
trial waived case counsel. of not salts
fed with the decision of one judge,
could OF right appeal to the full divi-
sion, while in a probate appeal, where
jury tFiai-tras- net claimed the decision
Of one Judge was the same as that of
the full division.
r.. w. Burbank, counsel for Mr.. Cap
well, did not want the matter set for
hearing at present. He said there were
two other cases that must be decided
before the sale would amount 10 any
thing. One of these arose from the al
lowance of an administrators account
and the other was an appeal from the
decision of the commissioners rejecting
certain claims. The latter case had
been sent by the court to master, and
Mr. Burbank thought a report should
be made before the appeal Mr.. Champ
lin wanted assigned was heard.
Mr.. Champlin said there was in the
hands of the administrator about Sl5,-
600 to pay claims, allowed by commits
sioncrs. which amounted to between
$50. 900 and $s4, 600. Mr.. Capwell, coun-
sci said. had presented a claim TO the
commissioners amounting TO $4,000
which they had rejected. But taking
the case as il stood there was an indebt-
edncss some six times larger than the
amount of cash or hand to pay II and
creditors who had waited years for
their money wanted a payment. On
this account he urged an early assign
ment SO the real estate coulu De Soiu.
Mr. Burbank wanted the case as
signed for some time in March, but Mr..
Champlin said that before the case
could be settled the debts and interest
would amount to some 100000. Mr..
Burbank said that winter was bad
time to sell real estate and that not
dollar of the money raised from the sale
could be distributed until Mr.. Capwell's
claim was passed ON by the court.
Judge Rogers thought there had been
enough argument on the motion and
called on Mr. Champln TO briefly make
final statement. When the counsel
finished His Honor assigned the case
for hearing on February "a.

SIMULATED INSANITY.

Wholesale Murders.
Crimes Surpassed Those Of the WhitechapeI

Paris. Dec. 31.--Joseph Nacher the
French Jack the ripper" was guillo-

the Department OF Ain. this morning
He protested his innocence and sifnu-
lated insanity To the last. Vacher. who
was 20 years of age, was condemned at
the October assizes at Ain. He is known
TO have brutaliy murdered four boys
six women and girls, and an old widow.
Most of the victims were tending herds
when Nacher came behind them and
cut their throats.
The crimes Of Joseph NacheF have
surpassed i'm number and atrocity those
Of the Whitechapel murderer known as
Jack the ripper" His homicidal mania
first broke out seriously in 1894. He
claimed after his arrest that as every
action has an object and as his motive
was neither theft nor vengeance. his
irresponsibilty was established. Physi-
ologically physicians have regarded the
case as interesting. 1t was shown that
Vacher had been confined i'm an asylum
for the insane and that while doing
military duty love affair caused him
TO attempt his self destruction by
shooting. The victims of Vacher We're
shepherds and shepherdesses and his
rage was particularly directed against
young girls. He first cut the throats of
his victims with "a knife and afterwards
mutilated them with a razor. He was
arrested last year after the police had
searched for him long time i'm vain.

were nearly overcome by the escaping

in the house.
The children will probably recover
but Mrs. Tuttle is said TO be in criti-

from bad cold and this fact probably

NO ARREST YET.
Detectives Still Working on the
Adams Poisoning Case.
Capl. McCIuskey Says He May Possibly
Make Statement Later Today.

New York Dec. 3l.--The police are
still vigorously working to find out who
sent the poison TO Harry Cornish and
so caused the death of Mrs. Kate j.
Adams on Wednesday last. Although
three days have elapsed since Mrs.
Adams died, no arrests have been made.
and Chief of Detectives McCluskey said
this morning that he had nothing to
divulge. There is an impression, how
ever, that before the day is over the
police will have secured either n solu-
tion of the mystery or viii have made
an arrest that will show in what di-
rection their suspicious lie.
So far as the actions or statements
OF the police are concerned. no one at
present has been connected with the
crime, nor has any motive been ad-
duced that would justify an attempt
upon Mr.. Cornish's life. Capt. Me-
Cluskey said that later i'm the day he
might have some statement TO give out.
Whether ne is awaiting word from the
police in other cities. where searching
inquiries have been set on foot TO trace
the history of match box holders sim
liar to that which accompanied the
brumo seltzer bottle, or whether he is
awaiting developments expected to en-
sue i'm this city. Is unknown.
Regarding n statement published I'm n
morning paper that a former member
of the knickboCker Athletic club was
under suspicion and would be arrested
today. Captain McCluskey said Mr..
Cornish had implicated no member.
past or present. McClusky denied say
ing that this or any other man was sus-
pected by the police. or making any
statement which could bear out the ar
ticle referred to. There were new de-
velopments i'm the case. McCluskey adj
mitted. but he could not discuss them
at present The arrest of any past or
present member of the Knickerbocker
Athletic club was not contemplated.
McCluskey said he did not yet know
who wrote the address on the Manila
paper OF the package. When asked if
he would consult the district attorney
i'm the case the captain said there was
no necessity for this as the police had
the case we'll I'M hand. I'm answer to the
question " lac had come 10 any con
clusion whether man or woman wrote
the address on the wrapper Of the

positively that he thought it was a

tial hearing on her application for an
allowance. Mrs. Lewanda Is a respect
ed resident OF Gladstone avenue, but
she and her husband have not been on

DR.. Lewanda. she added. had good
practice, with an office on Gladstone
avenue.
Attorney Franklin =. Owen. who rep
resented DR.. Lewanda asked if the doc
tor did not leave her under an agree
ment. Though this query was not re-
piled TO, Mr.. Owen produced an agree
ment which Mrs. Lewanda acknowl-
edged having signed 1t was to the ef-
feet that If the doctor staid away from
her and did not oppose the granting OF
her petition for a divorce, she would
ask no further support from him. Mr..
Owen was proceeding TO ask the Wit
ness about her husbands income. when
Judge Rogers asked what was the need
of proceeding further If the agreement
that had been produced was admitted.
George A. Littlefeld. counsel for Mrs.
Lewanda, said he would show that the
agreement was signed under duress. He
asked for postponement of the hear
ing SO that he might have an absent
witness testimony. This witness was
James A. Williams, formerly counsel
for Mrs. Lewanda. The hearing was
postponed for two weeks.
