JUDGE SPOKE SHARPLY

NEW HAVEN. Conn, March n.-The
hearing of the appeal of William j. Bryan
from the decision of the probate court ex-
GLIDING the fifty thousand dollar sealed
letter as part of the will of p. S. Ben
nett was continued today in the superior
court Ex-Judge Stoddard counsel for Mrs.
Bennett and other heirs. regarding the ad-
instability of the sealed letter. today sup
plemented his argument of yesterday by
brief address in which ne reviewed the main
points. the jury being meanwhile excused.
Mr. Stoddard laid special emphasis on the
assertion that the courts of this country.
and England have never admitted a docu-
men' like the sealed letter" and he re-
ferred to many authorities and decisions.
The fact that the letter was signed by the
testator makes no difference in a case of
this character" he said: lit is not a part f
the will. was not properly executed. and if
allowed to be entered in this court will be
contrary to all law in Connecticut framed
to prohibit fraud, undue influence and i'm
position
Continuing. Mr.. Stoddard contended that
the letter was not properly attested by
three witnesses. and was not described in
the viii as being part of the will.
Never Intended Part Of Will
1T is apparent he sad. that this paper
Benefits will Counsel for the other side
Will say that this paper was contemporaries
Gus with the will. Where a paper is exc
Cuted at the same time at which tbs will
is executed why does not the party make
il part of the VIII" 1t is clearly apparent
that there has been no intention to do So"
Judge Stoddard quoted from the letter
that part which says that the letter was
to be read by the widow alone, and ask
cd: DO you mean to say that this iocu-
ment was ever intended to be spread on the
public records? Read by you alone There
is nothing in that which can possibly be
construed as being a technical part of the
testament of Mr.. Bennett. 1t was a letter
Of instructions. the very terms of which
SHOW it conclusively.'
y sensational incident occurred when Mr.
Stoddard. in the course of his argument,
declared that the sealed letter did not eX-
press the truth and did not represent the
sentiments of Mr.. Bennett.
Mr.. Bryan. who had entered the court
room a short time before, jumped to his
feet Immediately and started to speak. but
was interrupted by Mr.. Stoddard. who said
with great emphasis that Mr.. Bryan was
hiding behind a subterfuge in this import
ant matter" and that it about time
Mr. Bryan said something.
Mr. Stoddard referred to certain letters
which are said TO have passed between Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Bennett. but while Mr..
RTyan was still trying to get an oppor-
tunty to speak. the court ruled that all
reference to the letters mentioned was in
admissible at this time.

Endowed by nature with all the rare qualities which adorn and beautify, she has passed we trust, to brighter and better land above. The deceased was a daughter of Jessup Randall of Bridgewater, born in that town 75 years ago. She had five brothers and one sister, all of whom are dead. The sister, Mrs J. L. Davidson, died in February of the present year. Mrs Minor moved from New Milford to RoXbury with her husband 37 years ago, where she resided till her death.
