WILL CASE IN COURT
INTERESTING SUIT COMES UP BE.
FORE JUDGE FAULKNER.
Contest Over the Estate of the Late
John w. CrsweI In the Circuit
Court in This City.

One of the most interesting suits
heard in the circuit court here for sew
eral months was that which involves
the legality of a paper purporting to be
the last will and testament of the late
John W. Criswell, and which came up
before Judge Faulkner in the circuit
court Thursday, with an array of le-
gal talent on both sides.
AS will be remembered by readers
of The World. John W. Criswell died
suddenly in his room at a local hotel
about two years ago. A search of his
papers in his safety deposit box at the
Peoples Trust Co. disclosed several
sheets of hotel note paper, written in
such manner as to suggest tpat the
document was the will of M Girls
we'll
The document was probated in the
Office of County Clerk Bender Under
the provisions of the will the estate,
valued at about $4,000, and consisting
of farming lands, stocks, bonds. cash,
etc, was bequeathed to several rela.
tives of the decedent, the latter stipu.
lating in nearly every instance that
the bequest was to go at the death of
the beneficiary to the Presbyterian
church at Spring Mills, this county.
The legality of the document. how.
ever. was questioned by Milton w. Sell
lers, the half-brother of Mr.. Criswell,
who did not share in the estate, and
the present suit in the court is to de
termine whether the document is real
ly the last will and testament of Mr.
Criswel. The plaintiff takes the
ground that the written paper that
was filed for probate was only mem
orandum of the intention of Mr. Girls
well, and did not constitute will.
The defendants, upon whom the bur-
den of proof was placed, take the po-
sition that the paper was a legal WILL
and it is this point that Judge Faux
ner will determine.
Other interesting features of the
case have also cropped out, affording
room for speculation among the attor-
neys One is, whether in any event.
the Presbyterian church at Spring
Mills could become a beneficiary, as
evidently intended by Mr. Criswell ow
ing to the fact that the West Virginia
law does not contemplate requests
from individuals to churches after
death. Another point is whether the
court will be asked to construe the
will in the case it is decided that the
document is legal.
Judge Faulkner will probably hand
down his decision at the next term of
court

Special Dispatch to The World.
New York, Jan. 24.-The second
days proceedings of the Thaw trial
were characterized by another fierce
scramble on the part of the public to
gain admission to the little court room
where the sensational trial is now in
its preliminary stages. AS on the pre-
vious day. however, the general pub
lie was rigidly excluded, the court
room being filled with the principal
figures in the trial, the talesmen and
about 100 newspaper men and tele'
graph operators.
Attorney Hartridge, of counsel for
the defense, announced that the open
ing address for his side would prob
ably be delivered on Tuesday next. The
prisoner and his attorney express
themselves as being well satisfied with
the jurors so far drawn, and young
Thaw maintained his cheerful demean-
or.
The work of selecting the jury of II
men proceeded slowly, and from the
rate of progress made today it is eyi.
dent that the present panel will
probably be exhausted before the jury
is finally completed.

that in the event of war the United

building plant of the Union Iron
Works is for sale. It ought to be
bought by the government. Already
offers have been received for the prop
erty from railroad, which would use
the site as a terminal.
Since private capital cannot build
war ships with any profit, here is an
excellent opportunity for the govern
ment to purchase the greatest ship
building plant on the Pacific Coast,
and the only one adequate for attend
ing to the repairs and refitting of a
great fleet. The government will need
such plant
Schwab said the government could
nave the property for a reasonable

HOW HAKALAU
LOTS WENT Up
Keen Competition for Cash
FreehOldS on Island
of Hawaii.

HILO, July 19.-The most successful
sale of territorial lands which has ever
taken place in this county was the sale
of HakaIau lands that occurred yester-
day morning at the office Of Subagent
/ Williams. A list of the lots offered
and the names of the applicants had
/ been published in the morning paper
This served to attract interest and fully
one hundred people crowded round the
door of the local territorial land office.
In all instances but three, the
original applicants secured their de-
sired lots, but some pretty high prices
were paid as there was spirited bidding.
The first three lots went at nominal
advances over the upset. But when
the fourth was offered, VIM. Ross APP
plicant, at $40 for 28.74 acres, the
fun began. 1t took but a couple of
minutes to reach $1,000, and the proper
ty then went by leaps and bounds to
Mr.. Ross for $1505, almost double the
value fixed for the government.
Then there was lull until G. de
Silveira wanted the ninth lot, which
jumped from $3.50 up to $10S5. The
following lot more than doubled but
was finally secured at $1610, for 1886
acres, the upset being fixed at $745.
Alfred Henderson was the purchaser.
Manuel N. Jordao was the next buyer
and he had to put up an advance of
1896 for his 1890 acres before he
sileneed the original applicant. This
was followed by an advance of $3.50 for
Denis Rapoza who outbid John de
Souza Jr., the applicant. Denis was
game, as his name might indicate.
The fourteenth offering was allowed
to go quietly to NJ. c. Porsee at $40 |
above the upset. Then it dawned upon |
the homesteaders that there were not |
many lots left, and the last seven went |
at advances of 5000, $500, $3.50, 1920, |
1920, $745 and $40. The original APP
plicant for the last lot got cold feet
when the 500 mark was touched, and |
Manuel Cadinha had the honor of
closing the sale for the far-famed Ha-
kalau lots. Not even the fact that |
one of the applicants was lady, Rose
lie Mello, spared her and she had to
pay $500 above the upset for the cash
freehold of Bis acres, that now stands
hers of record.
. The offerings were 625 acres of
total value of $17,825, or almost $29
an acre.
The amount realized was $23,803,
IN average of $3S an acre.
