TRIBUTE TO THE LATE c. K. IN-
 GERS0T,J.

Hartford, Oct. 13.--A memorial to ex- Governor Charles R. Ingersoll, who died at New Haven, January 25, 1903, was read at the opening of the fall term of the United States district court to- day. Judge Platt was on the bench. After reviewing MT. Ingersolrs life the resolutions state that he was an &C., knowledged leader of the Connecticut bar, both in the state courts and those of the United States, whose cases were prepared with great patience and in- dustry and whose arguments were mas-- ter pieces of logic and rhetoric. A tit- ting tribute was paid to his personal qualities and the distinction which he gained while acting as the chief execu- tive of the commonwealth from 1872 to 1877 was dwelt upon.
 The resolutions in full follow:
 Charles Roberts Ingersoll, LLD., for nearly sixty years member of the bar of this court, died at New Haven on January 25, 1903. He had been a life long resident of that city. He was born there September 16, 1921, gradu- ated from Yale college in 1S40 and ad- mitted to the bar in 1S45. From that time until within few weeks of his death he devoted himself mainly to the practice of the law.
 For many years he was the acknowl- edged leader of the Connecticut bar, both in the state courts and in those of the United States.
 His practice was varied and exten- sive and he very often appeared in im- portant causes in this court, On both its law and equity sides, as we'll as in the circuit court of appeals and in the su- preme court of the United States.
 He prepared his cases thoroughly and with great patience and industry In court he conducted them with consum- mate skill, and his arguments-well nigh irresistible-were masterpieces of logic and rhetoric. The solemn obliga- tions of the attorneys oath have rare- ly been discharged with greater fidelity. He was true to the court and to his client; to his opponent and to himself.
 His bearing, whether in or out of court, was that of gentleman; a term

Platt of the United States court accepts the bond named in place of the attachments. Some $375,o0o worth of real estate as we'll as bank deposits is meanwhile tied up,

BENNETT WILL CASE.

No new move was made yesterday to secure possession of the much talked of sealed letter of instructions which the Merchants Safe Deposit company re- fused to give to MT. Blake day before yesterday.
 Judge C1eaveland stated yesterday that he had done nothing further in the matter and that he did not know as he should make another move. He rather assumes that some of the parties at present in the matter may take the sub ject up at the proper time.
 Judge Cleaveland declines to prejudge the matter and will not say whether he would admit the will before seeing the letter. That will also come up for con- sideration in due time.

 Judge Platt issued an order that the minute be spread on the records of the court. The judge stated that from his boyhood he loved and respected Judge Ingersoll. He expressed pleas ure that the minute was to be made a matter of record.
 All of the cases on the trial docket were either assigned for trial in the near future or put over until the next term of the court. There were no jury cases so the jury was excused for the term. The case of the First National bank of Bridgeport vs. The Bridgeport Trust company was assigned for a hearing Monday This suit involves at- tachment of $1O,0OO belonging to Miss Hall, legatee of the Gilman estate.

never more f1ttingly bestowed. The dignity of his presence and his unfail- ing courtesy and kindliness of heart won him the respect of all men, even of his opponents in the forum or in po- IiticaI life.
 Though never seeker of office, yet in response to urgent demands he served both town and state in various capaci- ties and always with distinction. From 1872 to 1877 he was governor of this state.
 The records of this court will bear witness to the activity of his profess sional triumphs. It is fitting that they should also bear witness to the respect and affection in which his memory is held by court and counsel-his profes- sional associates-Who knew and loved him.

Case to be Tried Soon.
 Former Fire Captain William H. Johnston appeared in the probate court yesterday morning hoping that the court would grant his application to have his estate restored to him. His estate is now in charge of his son, William J. Johnson, Jr., as conserva- tor.
 After hearing two physicians as wit nesses Judge Cleaveland dismissed the application.
 Clerk Perry of the department of charities and corrections, representing the city, opposed the application and Captain Johnston protested, that MT. Perry had no standing in court. He said the city had nothing to do with the matter. Judge Cleaveland, however. decided that MT. Perry had standing in court.
 Captain Johnston was not represent ed by counsel. He pleaded his own case and frequently took exception to what was said.

 Dr. Gompertz testified that the dis ease that Captain Johnston is now af- fiicted with is known as recurrent ma mia. He is now quiet, but may break out at any time. He stated that the history of the captains brain trouble dates back thirty years, as the captain had told him of an attack thirty years ago.
 After Judge Cleaveland had stated that he would dismiss the application, the captain remarked that they would see him again in the superior court on an appeal. To Clerk Perry afterwards he said he should take the case to the United States supreme court
 Captain Johnston's conservator, Will liam H. Johnston, Jr., had testified at a previous hearing that he believed his father was capable of managing his own affairs.
