Gets Pittance of 50 a W6ek.

Paterson. N. j., July so (SpeciaD.-The chance
visit of local lawyer to the county jail some
years ago involved him in litigation over an
estate worth 100000, which has just been set
tied. Shortly before the big fire here John F.
Carroll was called to the Passaic County Jail
to client. As he was leaving the Jail one
of the prisoners called to him: You are just
the man L want to see
The lawyer turned and saw woman who for
a long time had been spending ten of each
twelve months in Jail through thirty day SEN
tences for being drunk and disorderly. She was
known Mag Finlay.
My husband, Bill Fnlay, is dead, l by
the papers" she said, when the lawyer ap
preached. He had money. and if you get $50
l have a good time, you take the
rest
Mr.. Carroll thought little of the incident but
later when he was in Brooklyn other bust
ness, looked up the William Finlay estate. To
his surprise he learned that the estate was
worth about 100000 The lawyer finally con-
sented to take the case UP at his own expense.
Soon after Mr.. Finlay's death Brooklyn law
yers learned that he had a wife living in Pater-
son. They found her in the county Jail They
knew she was entitled to dover right, amount
ing to about 100000, in the estate of her hus-
band. Failing to make her break the contract
with Carroll at the end of her term in ja:l they
took her to New-York. There they induced her
to sign off her claim. She was to have s5
week during her lifetime: She remained in
New York partially through her own wishes. but
largely because she received sentences to Black
wells Island for drunkenness resulting from
her regular income of So week.
Carroll presented his claim to the New-York
courts apd it contested. His claim was
that according to the agreement with Mrs. Fin
lay. he was to receive 25 per cent of the amount
to which she was legally entitled. and he had
expended considerable time and money on the
case. compromise has just been made with
Carroll and the litigation brought to an end
