| Several prominent citizens think
that Stanley park, so-called, should be
rubbed off the map and the spot ID
occupies used to make the road as
wide as public necessity and conven-
ience require at that point. 1t is To-
Gated in q busy thoroughfare at the
junction OF Cole, North ELM and South
Elm streets, just alongside the East
Main street trolley line, and is consid-
cred by many a great nuisance. A big
property owner told a Democrat re-
porter to-day that the board of public
works deserves severe censure for al
| lowing such a condition of affairs to
exist He wanted the wire fence
| taken down and the whole square
paved so, that it can be put to public
use. OF course this is one way of
| looking at it. but it should be remem-
bered that others regard the park in
question as a thing of beauty and
want to see it stand there d joy for
ever.
The probate court was an unusually
sultry place all this day. The heirs
and relatives Of Julia Hoey were as
sembled there in response to petit
tion filed by Attorneys Coleman of
| Cheshire and Klein of New Haven,
representing other heirs, who alleged
| the former had in their possession
81 200 and certain documents belong
| ing to Mrs Hoey's estate and which
they refused to give up. Attorney
Russell represented the local heirs,
and Attorney Coleman went SO far as
| to call them very unpleasant names.
He had the floor the entire forenoon
and resumed it this afternoon at 1880
O'Clock. Attorney Russell admitted
possession of the money and docu-
ments, but claimed they We're held by
virtue of provisions in Mrs Hoey's
will. The weather seemed to have
no more effect upon Mr. Coleman than
| it did upon the north pole. He buck
led into Attorney Russell and his eli
ents with vigor that would hardly
be excusable on midwinter's day,
J but Mr. Russell was able for him. De
cision may be given tomorrow.
