THE WEBB CASE.
After Breezy Hearing To-day the
 COnseryatOr Was Removed.

SOHstftdtOT was 1tSHiOsSo' r The hearing on the motion for the removal of James NJ. Webb as conser- vator over his brother Edward w. Webb, took place in the probate court this forenoon before Judge Lowe. Judge Cowell. cotnsel for the conser- vator, did not spare the feelings of Mrs Edward Webb, who was present with her husband. He said that she was an adventures and a grass wid- ow when she got her claws on Webb. When Webb was intoxicated it was his brother. not the woman who is now his wife, took care of him. She was a detriment to him and it was necessary that the conservator should not be removed. If the court did or der the conservator removed, Mrs Webb will induce her husband to deed
 all the property over to her in | month and he will wind up ill the almshouse.
 "why, when Webb lived on Center street." said Judge Cowell. "she used to invite him to her house and their orgies were something awful. Once she went to his place on Center street and they had an orgy and when it was over Webb's pocketboOk and his watch were missing"
 "I had to send the sheriff after her to get the first marriage license away from her" he went on. "She would go to his house and rap on his win dows and they'd go off together on q drunk. Slie induced him to go to Naugatuck and marry her. At that time he was non cOmpos. There are two suits pending against the estate of her husband, one for her own sup port and another against his brother as his conservator because he won't pay her board and she has also brought one in the superior court for maintenance When she induced him to marry her she was well aware that he was weak in mind and body. The conservator was appointed against his wishes and he will not present any evidence here for this is designing woman and if the conservator is re- moved this property will melt like snow in the May sunshine and Webb will go to the almshouse.
 We won't kick if the conservator is removed. because when the proper ty is gone Edward can't blame us. If ever a woman ought 10 be in jail for conspiracy this woman. who claims to be Edwards wife. ought to be-"
 In reply. Attorney Hayes. who with Attorney Church. ap- peared for Webb. the war,i, stated that quite the contrary from Judge Cowell's statements were the facts. The appointment of con servator was made last July and with the full consent of James Webb. He signified his consent by remaining away from the hearing. Then Ed ward went to saniiarium, got treat- ed and Is daily improving in health. He Is now employed by the Clocp com pany and has good employment. for he Is competent mechanic. As for Mrs We!ih. he would leave it tO the courts own knowledge of her to re- fuf. Judge CowellS statement. She has proyel tp bp goli and faithful wife. Neither Mir We!tb nor his wife looked ns though they went through many orgies. What property Mr Webb has. was accumulated by his own shrift ana frugality and he has never inva.leSl the principal. even if he has leen intoxicated AS to the marriage. Judge COweiI did not mean what he said. The judge knew that she is not that kind of a woman If the con seryator Is removed the other cases will he withdrawn
 Samuel Sloan. a general foreman for the Waterbury Clock company. then testified that he knows Er Webb and he Is thoroughly competent tc take care of his affairs Judge Lowe then said that was all the testimony he cared to hear. If James had done his duty by his brother there nouh have been 10 bother. He should have sent him to Dr SfesrnS' sanitsrium in Harffori instead of ito that cabbage garden in south N0rwsIk--
