PRITCHARD Will
HAN DEFENDER
Executor Of Estate Declares
Mrs. PritChard Was Of
Sound Mind

The defense in the famous Pritchard
will case is now having It's inning. and,
although II opened only last night, 1t
has since developed much strength.
Alfred D. McVey. who is executor
under the will, and who drew the
document, was on the stand the greater
part OF the morning. He is the first
witness called by the defense in the
suit and his testimony was full Of in
terest. When he went itno Mrs. Pritch-
ards bedroom on January 2S, 1885, to
draw the will he found her calm and
Of deliberate mind. She detailed all her
business relations clearly and concise
ly, but when she was asked to sign
the will she said she was unable TO
write, wheraupOn the witness assisted
her to append her signature. After
Smith II. Rogers and Samuel Steward
had appended their signatures to the
will, Mr. McVey asked Mrs. Pritchard
II she acknowledged the paper writ
ing as her last viii and testament,
and she replied that &c was. IL was
signed Caroline G. Pritchard nee Egg
ner, because. as witness said, Mrs.
Prtchard said she had money in the
Farmers Bank of this city In the name
OF Egner. In order to avoid trouble
with the bank, Mrs. Pritchard sug-
gested ITO add the name Egner.
Concerning the heirship OF John
pritchard who was cut or by the will,
witness said that at the time Mrs.
Pritchard heard Johns name read in
the WILL as an explanation why she
had dislnherited him, declared with
uplifted hand and as TRUE as God is
In Heaven" that John Prltchard was
not her son, but the child OF Lydia
Ann Brockman, from whom John waf
obtained when a child. Mrs. Pritchard
had agreed to raise the child. At tho
time OF the execution of the will Hen.
lderson was not In the room. Neither
was he with Mrs. Prltchard when she
dictated her testamcntary desires tC
Mr.. McVey several weeks before th'
document was executed.
Mr.. McVoy and Mr. Constable enter
ed into a sharp colloquy over a ques
tion at one time, in which Mr.. White
man rose to the defense Of his wit
mess.
1T Is time that penalty should b
imposed in this case" said Mr.. White
man, addressing the court. Mr.. Hig
gins ret0rted that 1T was time counse
should be respectful" The court de
cided against Mr.. Constable by striking
out the question referring TO Pritch
ards heirshlp. which Mr.. Constabl
said courts OF Maryland had estab
lllshed.
Mr.. McVey continued on the stani
until the hour Of recess.
