A YALE SENIOR ENJOlNED
E. H. Hurd, 04, Must Not Talk to
His New Haven Landlady.
Relatives of Mrs. Foy, IN Aged Wido"
Worth Half a Million Dollars. Allese
he is Getting Her Money.

New Haven. Gonna temporary IN
junction has been granted by Judge
James Bishop. in the Common Pleas
Court, against Ernest H. Hurd, a
senior in the Academic Department or
Yale, to prevent him from longer hV'
Ing in the home of Mrs. Lavinia II.
Foy. q wealthy wido. She is ninety
years old.
Two years ago the relatives of Mrs.
Foy thought she ought to have some
man in the house for protection. and
Hurd, who is twenty-five years old
was recommended by the college au-
thorities and by the officers of the
Y. NJ. C. A. He was working his way
through Yale. and vas very quiet and
studious. His home is in Wilton,
Conn.
1t was reported that Mrs. Foy was
lavishing money on the young STU
dent, and her relatives made an lnves-
tigation, the result of which was an ap-
~plication for the injunction to keep
Hurd out of tine house and to stop
him from corresponding with the aged
widow. For a month past Hurd has
not been able to enter the house or to
see Mrs. Foy. nor do Gny, of his letters
reach her.
In addition to the injunction. Hurd
has been sued for $1,000, money which
it is alleged Mrs. Foy has let him
have.
The relatives Of the widow charge
that Hurd has so influenced her that
he practically controls her mind. They
charge also that he has obtained from
her large sums of money and that he
also managed to get enough out Of
her for the last two summers to take
trips to Europe.
Within a week Mrs. Foy has been in
duced to create a trust Of all her prop
erty. By the terms of the trust she is
relieved Of all care of her property.
She can do as she likes with the in
come. Upon her death her property
will be disposed of in accordance with
a will she made in 1900. The rela-
tives feared that if the trust was not
established some of her property might
get into the possession of Hurd.
Not long ago Mrs. Foy gave $4,000
to build the Foy Auditorium at the
local Y. NJ. C. A. Her son is former
Adjutant-Genera George NJ. Harmon,
of this city. After she had married
Foy she invented a corset which was
named after her, and in the manufac.
ture of which her husband made a
vast sum of money, which she inner.
tied.
Young Hurd denies that he used un-
due influence over Mrs. Foy. He will
tell his story to the court, when he
will ask to have the temporary injunc-
ton set aside.
