LAWYER HOFFECKER'S CASE

Decision OF Chancellor Alarmed, but Case
Held Open for Further Arguments.
Special Dispatch to Every Evening
Dover, Jan. l6-In the case of the
trustees under the last will and testa-
ment Of Joseph Teas estate, Anthony
Higgins, counsel for James II. Hof-
fecker, made a motion IN the Supreme
Court today for the fling OF new
evidence, with a view OF having 10
reheard before the Chancellor.
The court retired for consultation
and upon their return Chief Justice
Lore, speaking for the court, said
"In the matter OF the trustees under
the last will and testament of JOSEPH
Teas, deceased, &C., upon application
OF counsel for the appellant, HoffecKer,
the court is OF the opinion that no
additional evidence should be intro
duced from the decision of the court
below; therefore the court declines 10
accept evidence submitted by counsel,
feeling that il is not such a case to be
sent back to the Chancellor. The
decree Of the Chancellor, therefore, is
affirmed by this court, although 1 do
not concur in the decree. -
Attorney Higgins then asked for
motion for a reheHrinR. Upon this
point the court decided that inasmuch
as no written opinion would be handed
down in the case, Mr.. Higgins, coun-
sci for Hodeoker, was given until
March lst to lille additional briefs to
the court, whether a hearing should
not be had and W. S. Hilles, attorney
for the Chancellor, was given until
March 18th to answer said briefs.
The court decided to receive such
briefs without argument on the fret
day of the April term Of the Superior
Court Of Kent county.
