SAY WILL IS VOID.
Heirs of Lucinda Williams Are Try
ing to Have 1t Set Aside.


ing to Have 1t Set Aside.
A caveat to the probating of the will
of Lucinda Williams was filed in the
office of the clerk of the Court of Or
binary yesterday by Judy Hamilton
and Harriet Stewart
The caveators, for ground of objec-
ton, say that the instrument offered
for probate is not, in truth, the will oil
the deceased woman, since it was ex-
ecuted under duress and misapprehen-
sion. 1t is alleged that the executor
named in the instrument represented
to the testator, that if she would sigr
the will he would support her the re-
mainder of his life. This he was to-
tally unable to do, as he we'll knew
thew say.
They say, further, that before her
death the testator endeavored in every
way to have the instrument revoked
but her attempts were futile. Since
the death of the testator the executor
has also died. and an administrator
has been appointed. John S. Schley
represents the caveators. and G.. Noble

LIKE H. R. DURANT.

Attorney Hall, of This City, Has Career
 Linked With That of the Waterbury Prosecutor. Es.- The appointment of Attorney George
 E. Hall to be assistant prosecuting at torney of the New Haven city court will be welcome news to his many friends in this city. Up to the present time Attorney Halls progress has been |peculiarly coincident with that of Att
 torney H. R. Durant. Both were born in New Haven and they are the same age. They attended the. same public school and were in the same class.
 When they were fifteen years. old both
 went to work in the factory of Sargent |& Co, Hall to learn the machinist's
 trade and Durant to pull an iron truck in the: packing room. They worked there three years and in the meantime attended night school. In this manner
 Hall became a good mechanical |draughtsman and Durant tried his hand at writing for the newspapers, finally going to work on the New Haven Jour nal and Courier.
 All this time they were chums, and, after many confabs. decided to locate l in Waterbury. Hall went to the Ear rel Foundry company. where he soon was made foreman, and Durant became city editor of the old Waterbury Re- publican. Then they both decided that they would study law, and after each had saved up enough money they en- tered the Yale Law school together. For over two years they sat side by l side and graduated together. Hall stayed in New Haven and has become a most successful patent lawyer, while Durant has been the Waterbury prose- cutor for seven years.
 Another coincidence is that the chief prosecuting attorney of the New Haven
 court is Tyner, who was in the same class with Hall and Durant, and Prose- cutors Freeman, of Hartford, Whittle- sey, of New London, and Pullman, of
 Bridgeport, were all in the same class at the Yale Law school with Tyner, \ Hall and Durant.
 Attorney Halls new position pays $2,500. He is the captain of the New
 Haven Light Guard and is known as a
 hustling political worker.-Waterbur

speaI<er for Five Minutes.

In mentioning the names of living
eX-speakers of the United States house
of representatives one is invariably
overlooked. There lives to-day in Al
bany, N. Y, at the ripe age of 70. a
rich banker named Theodore Medal
Pomeroy. On the 3rd of March. 1869,
Mr.. Pomeroy was elected speaker of
the house to succeed Schuyler Col
fax, who had been elected vice presi-
dent and resigned the speakership to
be indicted into the higher office. It
is said that Speaker PomerOy served
only five minutes, but the encyclo-
pedias and biographical dictionaries
fail to tell why he was elected for SO
short a period, why he left congress
so suddenly, why Colfax resigned to
get out of his way and what Pomeroy
did while speaker for five minutes.
