MCGOWAN
WILL IS
SUSTAINED

"The evidence I'm the record was, in our
opinion, amply sufficient to support the
verdict. Indeed. it was so strongly i'm ia
vor Of the will that a contrary verdict
would have been unreasonable THIS
language IS used by the supreme court
concerning the jury's decision on the con-
test over the will OF the late Ann Nc
Gowan OF Newport. Certain relatives Of
testatrix charged that she was unduly in
huenced i'm the preparation of the VIII by
Attorney Charles II. Koehne, Jr., whose
wife, an heir at law Of Miss MCGOWAN
got by the will slightly more than she
would have otherwise received.
The supreme court was called upon IN
deciding appellants petition for a new
trial TO pass upon the question of wheth-
err Judge johnson erred at the trial OF the
case in Newport I'm refusing to charge as
follows: Where "A person writes or pre-
pares a will for another under which the
wife OF the writer takes a benefit, 1t Is a
suspicious circumstance requiring the
court TO be v~igilant and jealous I'm eX-
aiming the evidence I'm support of the in
strument. and is sufficient TO exclude tho
will from probate unless the suspicious IS
removed
Judge Johnson charged the jury as fol-
lows: That whore a person writes or pre-
pares a Will for another under which the
wife OF the writer takes "A beenft. It is
a circumstance 70 be considered by you
requiring the court and the jury to be
vigilant and Jealous i'm examining the
evidence I'm support OF the instrument,
and that unless IL appears clearly that
no advantage was taken by the person
so writing n will. II would be sufficient to
exclude thee will from probate
Says the supreme court on this point:
THE charge given by the court Is "A sub
stantial compliance with the request. II
is not the privilege OF counsel 10 dictate
the words that shall be giyon i'm n charge

RkRB0R BLOCKED BY
BkRGES AND VESSELS

Today almost all the shipping interests
which make use OF the upper harbor
were complaining of the seeming reck-
lessness with which one OF the towing
grms OF the city is allowed TO strew it's
barge tows directly I'm the channel. The
attention OF Harbor Master Bucklin was
called TO the matter this morning when
he appeared IN the vicinity Of Point street
bridge but up 10 anc after noon there
had been no attempt made on the part Of
the towing firm TO remove the barges from
tho passage. though Mr.. Bucklin has his
Office in the same building with tho firm,
and, It is presumed, Informed them Of
the positions in which they left the barges.
The New Shoreham, In coming up to
her dock, had to NAVE a wide detour and
had but O narrow chance Of running by
the barges that had swung into the chan
mel. the vessel running much danger
az collision with INC dock or the CuTTUn
& Burton Coal company IN going around
tho lows.
When talking Of the matter Captain
Eicketson OF the New Shoreham was very
emphatic in ~censuring the practice now
81 vogue by the towing company and.
20 ali appearances, sanctioned by the
hsrbor master. The barges as they
stretched across the channel presented the
likeness OF a set OF hreastworks. there
being three OF them moored TO the dock
near the Providence line and the Others
being anchored alongside them almost
clear across the stream.
Among the vessels in tho stream were
the barge Grace. the a. +. McWiliams
and -four other barges whose names could
not be discerned. The schooner Caroline
was also IN the stream. The bottom
% the river is the only passage left
for the vessels which run into shoal
water above the dock Of Burrows & Ken
yon, so hat there was much danger Of
the shipping being entirely blocked should
any OF the vessels coming In run aground
In rounding the others. An added dan
ger was In the herceness OF the storm
nging at present on the bay.
An accident was but narrowly avertcd
when the Sutton and the Hodge came
above the bridge with their tow. there
being danger from collision with either
the vessels anchored IN the stream or
the docks on the west side Of the river.
