On Sunday evening, March 26, at the New
National Theater a lecture will be deliv-
cred by the Rev. D. ]. Stafford, DID, on
"Richard III" DR.. Stafford's analysis of
this celebrated figure in the history of Eng
land is considered one of the best in his
repertoire of Shakespearean lectures. His
closing description of the night before Bos-
worth field, when retribution is about to
come upon Richard for his many bloody
deeds, is in itself one of the most powerful
pieces of word painting heard on any stage.
The lecture is for the benefit of the Univer-
sity of America, under the auspices of the
general committee of the Knights of Co
lumbus. Tickets for the lecture will be on
sale on and after Tuesday, March 81, at

ing to be the will of the late John Cleary,
dated March l, 1904, has been filed by

sound and disposing mind; that it was OBJ
tanned by undue influence, and that it was
executed under compulsion of threats
menaces and duress, while the deceased
was held in confinement and restrained
of his liberty, for the purpose of compelling
him TO execute the document.
