VIII of w. y. Lurty Upheld.

A Jury in the Circuit Court of Rock
iugham yesterday returned a verdict up.
holding the will of Warren S. Lurty,
who left the bulk of his estate to his
housekeeper, Susie Smith, a young white
woman.
The hearing, of the suit, which occu-
pied ii days was concluded Monday
night, and was one of the most bitterly
contested cases that has ever been on the
docket of local courts. The contestants
we're Mrs. Frank L. Harris, sister oi
Captain Lurty, and several of his
brothers. Captain Lurty's widow who was
Miss Annie Shepperd, of Richmond, and
who left her husband some time before
his death, was not a party to the contest
She will receive her dover share under
the statute. Miss Smiths share of the
estate is estimated in the neighborhood
of $l5, 600.
On account of the promin ence OF the
teststor, who was several times a repub'
lican candidate for gubernatorial nomina-
ton in Virginia, former United States
District Attorney for the Western dis
tricf, United States Marshal OF Okla
homa territory during the Harrison ad
ministrstion, the suit attracted wide
spread attention in the State.
The contestants alleged that Captain
Lurty was mentally incapable of max
ing a will during the last two years o
his life; that Miss Smith exerted undue
influence while nursing him. The hear
ing was full of testimony of sensation
al character, but the contestants were
unable to break the instrument on ac
count of lack Of evidence. Captain Lurl.
claimed relationship to Stonewall JACK

Impending Plat Divorce suit.

According to reports in circulation In
New York yesterday, Senator Thomas G.
Platt has decided nearly all his large for
tune. 80 that his 6nsncial resources are
now no greater than those of a man OF
means. 1t is supposed that the reason
for this reported disposition OF the Sem
ator's estate is to preclude his wife from
obtaining . large settlement In the event
of divorce proceedings.
From other quarters the further state
mept comes that Mrs Pla.t has been ac-
ousinted with her husbands procedure
for sometime, and is & present striving
to ward of the possible loss OF financial
adjustment 10 her favor.
When the martial affairs OF the SEN
ator assumed such shape that they
threatened to have apublic airing, Mr..
Platt is said to have consulted With hls
LAWYERS regarding means to prevent Mrs.
Platt from obtaining possession OF his
wealth, or even fair portion of it. The
expedient OF giving his fortune away so
that it could not be attached was The
plan which is reported to have been the
result of these deliberations.
In accordance with this reported plan
the Senator began steps to turn bis
fortune over to his sons, and since the
earlier part Of August is said to have
transferred most of his holdings to them
The estate, which consists almost alto.
geiher Of stocks and bonds, and is es-
timated to have value of more than
81 900, 900, has been distributed among
the three SONS and several grandchildren.
Mr.. Platt has kept for himself only a
sufficient amount to defray his current
living expenses. He is said to be almost
wholly depe endent on the salary of $50,
900 a wear which he received as president
of the United States Express Company.
For the last month Mrs. Platt has been
aware of the allie ed plan to cut her off.
and it is thought that she is bending
every effort toward finding means to de-
feat it. That she WAS contemplated
suing the Senator for divorce and pro.
cure settlement before the property has
been irrevocably lost to her is q state
ment made by persons in touch with al
fairs.
In addition to the fear of having to
make large allowance in the event OF
a div ,rce suit, Mr.. Platt is said to have
had in mind in transferring his fortune
the disposition of his estate after death
The statement is made that his wish 10
have the property revert 10 his sons has
