ACQUITTED OF INSANITY
SAMUEL HAWKINS TRIUMPHANT BE-
FORE COMMISSION.
Family Troubles Probably Due to
Judge waIker-COurt News.

Samuel Hawkins. a blacksmith. about
thirty-six years old, living with his wife
and daughter at 21lO Prospect street, was
acquitted of the charge OF being insane
by Justice Stout yesterday. The charge
against Hawkins was brought by his wife.
The defendant was present in court and
was questioned closely by Drs. Reyer and
Lash. Mrs. Hawkins complained of cruel
treatment on the part OF her husband. and
intimated that there was another woman"
in the case The physicians. after ques-
tioning Hawkins and asking a number Of
his neighbors about him. failed to find that
his conduct had been especially eccentric.
They rather reached the conclusion that
the trouble I'm his family has been largely
due TO jealous quarrels between husband
and wife. Mrs. Hawkins, II Is understood,
has commenced proceedings for divorce
from her husband.

TRYING TO BREAK A WILL.
The Property Bequeathed by Mary A.
Pence Is Involved.

In the Circuit Court yesterday suit was
brought to contest the will of Mary A.
Pence. Two daughters. a granddaughter
and a son cannot agree on division of
the estate, which amounts to about 5000.
A third daughter is dead. Mrs. Pence was
married three times. Her will gave the
bulk OF her estate to the son, and the
daughters anu granddaughters are seeking
to break the will. 1t Is claimed the docu-
ment was procured through fraud and un-
due influence. One contention is that the
property left by Mrs. Pence came to her
largely through her third husband. The
son Is by the first husband, and 1t is
claimed he is not entitled to the property
