One Section Of the Hydra-Headed
Prenty Case on Trial in Court.
The time Of the Superior Court yester-
day morning. until the noon recess, was
taken up with hearing argument upon a
number of special demurrers that had been
fled by the attorneys for the defendants
IN the case of Mrs. NJ. A. Prenty, adminis-
tratrix Of the estate of Catherine Prenty,
against the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust
Company ana F. Wachsteln.
In the various windings and ramifica-
tons through which the case has gone
most of the remedies civil and criminal
known to the law have been cons umed
Mrs. Catherine Prenty charged that the
husband Of her daughter Patrick McMur-
ray, had been guilty of the most cruel and
brutal treatment of his wife had subjects
ed her 10 every form of unkindness and
had terminated his long course of perse>
cution by having fer immured in a pri-
vate insane asylum in New York city. Mrs
Prenty also charged that McMurray had
beaten and abused her and that by means
OF threats and Imprisonment and through
the fear in which she held him, he had
induced her to deed away her property az
his command.

from the Trust Company in order to make
the payments as they matured. Wach-
stein claims that he bought the property
in perfect good faith, and several years
after the deed TO McMurray had been ex-
ecutsd. Mrs. Prenty, and after her death
her legal representative, nave been trying
to have him evicted from the possession
of the property, and the hearing yesterday
was a part of this case.
The attorneys for the defendants filed
special demurrers to the petition, setting
UP various grounds for defense that they
asserted were legally sufficient to defeat
a recovery and that We're evident from an
inspection of the pleadlngs Of the plaintiff
Some of these Judge Falligant sustained
and some he overruled, but the result Of
the several decisions is the necessity for a
change IN the original declaration in the
case. This viii be made and the case
continued his morning on its merits.

There turns up occasionally one of the
fortunate individuals to whom he prom

firmly believed that Doctor" Wilson
would do all that he promised. He was
wont to adorn these tales Of his proves
much eircumstantial detail, that they bore
the very form and figure of truth
New tales of what he had seen and done
as related by himself 10 his whiom
friends, are constantly springing up.
Among them are some vivid experiences
in the Chino-Japanese war In which he
served as a surgeon, and in the war be-

slight extent at the meetings Of the for

easy to note among the enlisted men that
there was some objection

take up the matter al their meeting to-
night 1t viii then be discussed, though

posed are too great.

letter designation of the companies be
changed in order TO admit of the Guards
retaining their own letters met with no
objection. II created no stir at all. The
men of all commands seemed to take it
very quietly. From the Blues it was
thought the strongest opposition would
come, but they yielded gracefully. seeming
to prefer the letter NJ, that they had in
