ALDEN To
GET WHOLE
ESTATE

The appellate division OF the supreme
court has set aside the Jury's findings in
regard to the will OF Mary f. Dawley,
who kept n store at the North End near
Pawtucket and has granted the petition
of the proponents OF the will for new
trial A Jury found that in making this
will Mrs. Dawley was unduly influenced
by Charles f. Alden, who had done
chores for her for many years. and whom
she named as executor OF her will.
While the appellate court finds that Al
den was quite friendly with Mrs. Dswley
the court holds there is no evidence that
he unduly Influenced her. Mrs. Dawley
had no children and was not on intimate
terms with her father William Lancaster,
who contested the will Her father accord
ing to testimony which the high court be-
lieves. did nothing towards her support
from the time she was three years old
The explanation given in the will as
well as the testimony Is held 10 fully sus-
tain the burden laid on the proponent AL
den by the law. In her will the testator
used this language. Said Charles E. AL
den has been kind 10 me, has helped me
when my relatives neglected me; has
lent me assistance that l can never re-
pay so leave all my possessions TO him."
Juukt IllllUHndSI NElNto iHo OpIAIOii
OF the court and says the evidence TO
support the jury's finding that on Nov. 4,
1898, AT the time OF the execution OF the
will Mrs. Dawley was not OF sound mind
is not sufficient. Attention is called by
the court 10 the fact that Mrs. Dawley
was a shrewd and active woman and very
much disposed 10 have her own way.
That though there waE testimony she
was subject 10 spells the court hnds
these were the result of violent temper
and strong determination.
Judge Tlllinghast used this language
in regard 10 some OF the testimony that
was introduced against the objection of
Mr.. Alden's counsel: Whether the wit
ness. Alden, had acted In the capacity OF
doorkeeper for the testatrix on some sun
day and thereby aided her i'm violating
the liquor law. was not material 10 any
OF the issues raised. and hence the con-
testant should not have been allowed 10
offer testimony tending to impeach the
witness on that point" His honor de-
clares that the fact that a person Is
engaged in an illegitimate business does
not show he was incompetent to make a
will.
All OF Mrs. Dawley's property, save
some small gifts to others by this WILL
goes 10 Alden.
