TOBACCO CLAIMS DIsALLOwED.-DE-
CIsION IN A CONTEST INTERESTING
TO TOBACCO GROWERS.
The commissioners on the estate of
William Schoverling of New Milford
have diSallowed all but one of the 80
claims which had been presented
against the estate by tobacco growers
OF the Housatonic Valley. The claims
grew out of the agreement of Mr.
Schoverling, the deceased, to buy the
tobacco crops of the claimants. After
Mr. Schoverling died his widow refused
to accept the crops, claiming that the
sale was not complete. The tobacco
growers claimed that as Mr. Schover-
ling had sprayed their tobacco while
it was standing in the field and as he
had assumed all risks, the tobacco in
some instances being damaged by the
spraying, the sale was complete and
bound Mr. Schoverling's estate. The
claims were contested and five days
were occupied in the hearing before
the commissioners. States Attorney
Donald T. Warner of Salisbury and
Judge Adds of New Milford represent
ed the tobacco growers and Brewster,
Davis & Ives of Danbury represented
the estate. The cases have been
watched with interest by the tobacco
growers in the vicinity and will prob
ably go the higher courts as many in
tereSting questions of law are raised.
Attorneys Adds and Warner, counsel
for the farmers, have filed notice of
appeal.
