Commissioners Appointed - Delay in
seIk Case-Fireman Sues for Wages
Three G. Grocery sold--Cases Be
fore the City Court.
There was another typical probate
court scrap yesterday morning over the
settlement Of the George A. Isbell will
matter. Another lawyer came into the
case, and one of the counsel said he
had $4,000 against the estate. If it is
a fact that the estate is worth but
$4,000, there will not be much wealth
left for the alleged heirs.
The meeting yesterday was to es-
tab1ish the relationship of the first
cousins of the testator. Isbell & Booth
for this class of blood heirs are trying
to prove that Attorney ]. p Thomp-
sons client, Mrs. Mary C. futile comes
from another branch of the Isbel1 fami-
" and is not a collateral heir. Thomp-
son withdrew the collateral heirship
claim but insisted that she was lin
cal descendant from Israel Isbell, the
grandfather of George, from whom he
claims the George A. Isbell fortune
started Hence he claims she has a
right.
Isbell & Booth claim the G. A. Isbell
fortune started from George IA IsbelPs
father, Josiah Of Milford and that Jo-
siah transferred this property to George
VA, before his death. BY this process
of reasoning Mrs. futile would be cut
out from heirship
Mr.. Thompson opened the ball yester-
day by asking for an administrator un-
der the will for the estate at once, say
ing that it was necessary. He said he
had already about $4,000 of claims
against the estate, but that he had not
had time to take up the genealogical
tree regarding Mrs. Tuttle's claim. The
court gave him until next Friday after
noon to shape his tree for his client,
and gave him no answer on the ap-
pointment of an administrator.
Mr.. Thompson complained that the
expenses of the estate, such as the
keeping of pet dogs, and the like, were
being run up recklessly.
Major Isbell renewed his challenge
to Mr.. Thompson's client to appear as
q blood heir. He insisted that there
was no ancestral estate.
Captain George E. Hall appeared in
the case for the first time, as counsel
for Custodian William O'Brien, and
asked for some sort of an allowance
since last April upon it and has. receiv-
ed no money. This claim met with a
frost from the opposing counsel. Moth
ing was done about it.
There are now five lawyers engaged
in this case, viz, Booth & Isbell, Clark
of Orange, Arvine, Thompson and Hall,
The matter will undoubtedly go to the
superior court If 1t is found that the
estate will hold out long enough to car

BISHOP M'CABE DEAD
NOTED PRELATE SUCCUMBS FOL.
LOWING RECENT STROKE
OF APOPLExY.

New York, Dec. 2O.-Bishop Charles
G. McCabe of the Methodist Episcopal
church died in the New York hospital

1860 and two years later became chap
lain of the One Hundred and Twenty

tured in the battle of Winchester and

His experiences as a prisoner of war
were later recounted on the lecture
platform. For more than thirty years
he was popularity known as chaplain
McCabe" and the title chung to him
even after the general conference of
the Methodist church in 1896 made
him a bishop.

later was associated as assistant sec
rotary with the board of church extern
sion.
His success as a money raiser was
remarkable and later as secretary of

SAVES PATRICK'S LIFE
GOVERNOR HIGGINS COMMITTEES
DEATH SENTENCE TO LIFE
IMPRISONMENT.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 21.-Albert T.
Patrick has been saved by Governor
Higgins from the death chair, in the
shadow of which he has stood for near
ly five years. He was convicted in
March, 1902, Of the murder of Will
lam Marsh Rice, an aged New York
city millionaire. In a brief memoran-
dunn laying stress upon the dissenting
opinions of the judges of the court of
appeals, which affirmed Patrick's con-
viction by a vote of four to three, the
governor announced that he had COM
muted the death sentence to impris-
onment for life. Later in the day the
governor strongly intimated a doubt
of Patrick's entire sanity. attributing
his mental state to the strain under
which the condemned lawyer has Ia
bored all these years in the death cell
at Sing Sing.
