APPEAL
IN COURT
Has Rockwell a Remedy at Law
in in Spite Of FailuTs to
Act In Time =?

The appellate division OF the supreme
court today heard the probate appeal OF
Edwin A. Rockwell vs.. Anna F. Holden,
executrix.
1t was case OF considerable interest,
because the point in dispute was whether
probate court should revoke a decree
that had been entered.
Rockwell, the appellant, is resident Of
Rochester. n. Y, and the decree from
which he appeals was entered in the pro-
bate court OF Warwick on March 13. 1899.
This decree admitted to probate an in
strument in writing as the last will and
testament of Benjamin Nichols, late Of
Warwick
Nichols left the bulk of his real and
personal estate 10 Anna F. Holden, who
was named sole executrix.
Mr.. Rockwell asserts that though Mr.
Nichols died in January. 1899, ne knew
nothing OF the death until April s, 1892
when In answer to letter addressed to
Benjamin Nichols on March 81. he re-
ceived a very brief note from Anna F.
Holden. dated April ), informing him that
Benjamin Nichols had died.
After the time for taking an appeal Mr..
rockwell says the eXecutrix told him
something about the will.
Rockwell says ne has evidence 10 show
that Benjamin Nichols at the time of
making his will was not OF sound mind.
and that the will. especially the residuary
clause was procured by undue influence
on the part of Anna +. Holden.
The executives counsel argued the APP
pellate court had decided there was no
jurisdiction 20 grant a new trial under
the circumstances involved in this case.
They also urged that Rockwell's neglect
TO appeal In time was the cause OF his
loss of a remedy.

Tomorrow, at noon the delegates to the

Some OF tho delegates, IL is understood,

are candidates for the city treasurership.
