COUNTY COURT.

The case of State VS.. Ed. Hancock
was taken up last Tuesday forenoon.
In this case the respondent was
charged with keeping Intoxicating
liquor for sale without a license. It
appeared in evidence on the part of
the state that the responde nt's prem
ises in West Derby were searched
some time in August, 1903 and twelve
quarts of whiskey were found and
upon this fact the state endeavored
to make out case. The respondent
claimed that the liquor did not belong
to him but to his mother who needed
it to preserve her health. The Jury
found that the state had failed to
prove the case and returned a verdict
of not guilty. A. W. Farman for the
state and II. F. Graham and T. E.
Miles for the respondent.
Leon La mpher of Westmore who
was charged with grand larceny was

sister OF Mrs. Emma Hurst Finds Ono in
Her Own Favor-Husban nd TO Contest.
What purports to be the will Of the late
Emma Augusta Hurst, wife OF Charles
Hurst of III Putnam avenue, Brooklyn,
who was killed at Altamont, ILL.,, on July %,
through a train on the Wabash Railroad
crashing into an automobile In which she
and her husband were riding, has turned
up very Unexpectedly.
The document has been presented for
probate in the Surrogate's Office, Brook
lyn. by Lawyer Francis B. Mullen, repre-
senting Miss Mary Knapp Of 100 Putnam
avenue q sister Of the testatrix and the sole
beneficiary, and a hearing set for Oct. "a
by Surrogate Church. Mr.. Hurst, whose
name is not mentioned in the will. will
make a contest on the ground that the will
ia not genuine, and, if genuine, that it was
made under undue influence.
Lawyer Mullen says that there is not the
least doubt In the world about the validity
Of the will. The value Of the estate involved
is about $4,000. Shortly after his wife's
death. Mr.. Hurst, who. 1t is said, had no
in existence, applied Tor and was granted
letters Of administration, and, after quail
flying in surety bond for $4,000, began
collecting moneys belonging TO his wife.
Before MS marriage 10 MISS Emma hu.
Been twice a widower The relatives Of
Miss Knapp, who was public school

posed to the marriage and were, it is said,
never fully reconciled to It. Mr.. Hunt
| and his wife, early in the summer, started
on an extensive tour of the country In an
aut omobile, their intention being to wind
up at the St. Louis fair. They were cross
ing the tracks Of the railroad at Altamont,
| when their automobile was struck by the
locomotive and wrecked. Mrs Hurst died
from her injuries soon after the accident
| Mr.. Hurst was also severely injured. 1t
was only few weeks ago that Miss Knapp
discovered the will. which. 1t Is said, proved
as great a surprise to her as 1t did to Mr.
| Hurst himself She retained It until few
days ago, when she placed it in the handle
OF her lawyer on his return from Europe
Mr.. Hurst is an electrotyper at 50 Fulton

CHICAGO BROKER EXPELLED.
Board OF Trade Drops w. II. Laidley Who
Got Rich and Got Poor Quick

CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-william H. Laidley
was expelled from the Board of Trade
yesterday by a unanimous vote Of the
directors. The charges against him were
bad faith and monumental conduct.
His rise from a struggling telegrapher
to man Of wealth was rapid, and the retro
grade movement was also swift. Less than
five years ago he was an operator In Chi
cago. He went to Marquette, in the Lake
Superior copper regions, and there made a
strike in copper in which he cleared
SIPS 600 in a short time.
Coming to Chicago, he started as
stock and grain broker, with large
private wire bus mess, and made money.
Prosperity smiled upon him. and so. did
friends who liked to play poker and have
good times Laidley paid the bills until
his money gave out last spring, when the
business failed. His creditors were un-
able to get anything and he was suspended
from the board on July 5. special COM
mittee investigated the charges filed
against him. and the action OF the directors
yesterday confirmed their findings.

HIPPOS MOVE INDOORS.

The Park hippos were put into winter

old, being yet in his middle age Bridget,
the mother, about rs, and Pete, the child,
not yet weaned
Father Caliph almost had a chill when
he got up in the morning. The mother
and little Pete, too, rubbed their noses
against the iron bars and looked longingly
toward their covered quarters. The birds
were going South, woodchucks were bur-
rowing up, leaves were turning-why
shouldn't the hippos, too, seek their winter
home.
To keep the family together and to in
sure the safety of the onlookers, iron fences
were put up, forming lane from the out
door home to the winter home in the build
ing near by. First. madame and the child
Pete came out, then the father followed.
They made the trip in pretty, slow time,
but were sure to get there, and caused no
trouble. They were only too glad to get

State Railroad Commissioners, at their office
in Battery place, on the New York, West
chester and Boston Railroads application
for permission to increase its stock to $2o,-
900 900. but the hearing developed 30 many
questions that could not be settled of hand
that it was adjourned to Oct. Ii at 10 A. M.
Delegations from White Plains Scarsdale,
Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Portchester,
Mamaroneck and The Bronx, with many
lawyers, appeared with arguments for and
against the permission sought by the rail-
road The New York and Portcheeter
company, which was turned down by the
Aldermen in favor OF the Westminster road,
was also represented.
The representatives Of the petitioners
made the plea that the extra stock was
needed to procure capital to begin work
and keep its promises Of providing trans
portation facilities. 1t came out then that
the company has not received permits to
lay tracks in towns along the route.
The objection that the company's rights
had been sold at Sheriff's sale in 1901 was
met by Mr.. Churchill, counsel for the road
who said that all these contentious had been
passed upon favorably to the road by Mayor
Mcclellan and the Aldermen before The
Bronx franchise was granted.
