Col Burpee Makes Another Move in the
 Plant Estate Case.
 An application has been filed with the probate court for the district of New Haven by Colonel Burpee, repre- senting Charles and Horace Hoadley of this city, heirs-at-law to the estate of the late Millionaire Henry B. Plant requesting an accounting of the man. agement of the estate by the admins traitors, George II. Tilley, Lynde liar rison and RoDert G. Erwin, since their administration began. Evident fraud on the part of Mrs Plant, the widow, is the basis of this petition. It is said that she has contrived to defeat the law of the state of New York and the purposes of the will of her late hus- band by obtaining a Judgment in the courts of New York state by which she obtained possession of a portion of the estate for her individual benefit. Para graph of the petition is as follows:
 "These subscribers (the Hoadley brothers), are informed and believe and therefore allege that the said Margaret J. Plant brought an action and ob- tained a judgment in the supreme court of New York state, the effect of which is to defeat the plans of the late Mir Plant, the effect of which is to de- feat the objects of the said testator: and the said Margaret J. Plant ob- tained said judgment for such purpose, well knowing all the foregoing facts and the difference between the laws of l this state and the state of New York, l and for the purpose of gaining herself l possession and control of a large DOT I ton of said testator's estate and dis posing of the same for her individual 1 benefit and for the benefit of persons and ecclesiastical bodies of which the testator did not approve, and to which he did not mean that any part of ...s estate should be given. And they there. fore allege that said judgment of the supreme court of New York by her thus obtained was not a judgment of a court of final Jurisdiction but an ap. l peal brought and probably would have been taken therefrom; and that the said Margaret J. Plant and Morton F.. 1 Plant were so advised by eminent counsel well informed IS to the law of the state of New York. But said Mar. garet J. Plant, still intending to defeat the objects of the will and now being Joined and aided in her purpose by two of the defendants ill said action. Nor. ton Freeman Plant and George IT. Til ley, who with herself make a majority of the executors determined to refuse and refrain to take such appeal"
 l Section takes up the alleged con spiracy ill the following language:
 That after said judgment of the su preme court of New York was ob tained the executors of the said will divided, or pretended to divide, amongst themselves $600O0O as com pensation and expenses to date, and thereupon Lynde Harrison and Robert G. Erwin resigned as executors and therefore declined to be longer respon. sible for the administration of the said trustee estate.'
 The remaining sections of the peti ton allege that Mrs Plant. Morton F. Plant and Mir Tilley, having full con trol of the estate, immediately and sur reptitiously removed the estate from the safe place of deposit in the city of New Haven to some place unknown to the subscribers and proceeded to dis. tribute it, $17,000000, among them. selves, retaining in their possession only .-so,000 to be used in carrying oui the trust contained in the will.
 Conspiracy is the sum and substance of the above. The Hoadleys, claiming to be heirs-at-law, fear Mrs Plant has commenced to squander her husband'; estate, which they claim will in the natural course of things eventually be theirs. A date has not yet been set fol hearing.
