CLAIMS AGAINST IN ESTATE
Commissioners Jackson And
 Church Hold Hearing.

Persons Testify Who Claim The Late l William H. Delaney Was Indebted l To Them-Janitor James Hayden l Was The Principal Witness To-Day
 His Claim Is For Money Loaned Tc | The Deceased.
 Attorneys Church and Jackson as I commissioners, held hearing on the l uistrlct court to-day on number of dlsputed claims against the estate of
 the late William H. Delaney. The es- tate of which Henry Hayden is ad-
 ininlstrator, was represented by Attor-
 ney Carmody and the claims by Attor- ney Byrne. The claims are as fol lows: J. Israelovitch, 239; cash loan ed at different times; James Sheridan, for services, $29.96; Catherine Sheri-
 dan, $1,292.11, household services and
 board at different times from March
 10, 1896, to September 16, 1901; James Hayden, $158.69, cash and board. The will left by the deceased was the source of considerable disappoink- ment. The major portion of the es- tate was left to Henry Hayden, a relative. The relatives who felt sighted engaged Attorney Byrne to contest the probating of the will. A contest did not take place in the pro- bate court but the will was approved and there the matter appeared to end. There was some talk of taking it to the superior court, but no steps in shat direction were ever taken.
 James Hayden was the first witness called in to-day's hearing. MT Hay den is a janitor in one of the public schools He testified to having lent MT Delaney the several sums that comprise his claim and the circum- stances attending each loan. There was no particulars difference surround ing any of them. Most of them were to pay off some immediate bill.
 MT Hayden thought Mr Delaney got $1.2OO odd from his mother, and ne also thought he gave a great deal of money to Jacob Israelo- witch. He always considered the prop erty was in MT Delaney's name and he relied upon him to settle. MT Hay den said he was turned out of the room wherein MT Delaney lay ill. He dld not know what the cause was, but he was sure it was not because he made a noise in the room, because he made no noise. He did not recall gettting into q warm discussion ill the room, which annoyed MT Delaney.
 A young boy named Harry Clafbey was the next witness He is a nephew of the last witness. He testified to sec ing MT Delaney ask MT Hayden sev- eral times for a loan of money and MT Hayden gave it to him. Once he saw him give him $5 and another time $1O.
 Mrs Catherine Hayden, a first cousin of deceased, corroborated the testimony above given in general way. The hearing will not terminate until late this afternoon
