New Haven, Conn. "A decision
rejecting as evidence the sealed
letter" by which William J. Bryan
was to be given 500, 900 from the es-
tate of the late P. S. Bennett, was
given by Judge eager in the super
Tor court. when the hearing on Mr..
Bryan's appeal from the decision of
the probate court, declining to admit
the ''sealed letter" to probate, wa
resumed.
Judge eager said the letter was
dispositine in character and there
fore came within the statute govern.
ing wills which demand that every
paper that is codicil or testamentary
must be attested by three witnesses.
He holds that the admission of the
"sealed letter" would override that
statute.
The court said there was nothing
descriptive in the will except this
phrase, 1.-THE sealed letter which
will be found with my will" There
fore there is nothing whatever to
identify the sealed letter as that re
ferred to in section II of the will, no
earmark to show that this was the
letter the teStatOr had in mind when
he prepared the will.
Immediately after the decision
was announced, Attorney Newton.
for Mr., Bryan, asked for an excep-
tion to the ruling. Mr.. Stoddard,
counsel for Mrs. Bennett, suggested
that the court give ruling on ali
questions at once, as he thought it
would be for the best interests of
the litigants to get rulings or all
points that could be ruled upon be
fore the case should 60 up to the
supreme court. Judge eager then
declared a recess.
When the recess ended Mr.. Bryan
was called to the stand by Attorney
Newton. Mr.. Newton said that to
make the ruling OF the court clear he
wished to offer in evidence exhibit B

One of our exchanges-a political
wart emanating from a ruptured gall
duct-refers to President Roosevelt as
the Cowboy President" and makes
the astounding announcement that Mr..
Roosevelt claims Thomas jefferson to
have been "The most incapable of all
our presidents" but fails to tell the
people where he got his authority for
the statement. Such arguments are
without weight and make no impression
ON the minds of intelligent American
citizens. The very fact that the author
of this egregious joke poses as Demo-
grat would make the bones of Thomas
Jefferson rattle in protest at the insult
to Democracy.
