Court Decides That James {. johnson h
the Legal Heir to the Estate Of Bridget
Iorpey. According to Her Last VIII.
True Friendship Richly Rewarded.
Next Of Kin and Nurse Routed.
By N. BARNETT DoDsoN.

By N. BARNETT DODSON
Afro-Americans throughout the coun.
try will no doubt be interested in the
recent decision of Surrogate Thomas
Of New York, In which he holds that
James Edward johnson. an Afro
American. is the legal heir under the
last will Of Bridget Torpey. the super
annuated Irish cook, who beQueathed
her fortune of $4,000 to him. The de-
cision comes after bitterly contested
fight, in which the next of kin. two
brothers and sister, resisted the pro-
bate Of the will, and Margaret NJ. Ben
nett, a trained nurse Of 46 West Twen-
ty-ffth street, New York. who intro
duced will purporting to have been
executed several months later than the
document which left the estate to
Johnson.
Surrogate Thomas now throws out
the will presented by Miss Bennett,
which left the bulk Of the estate to
her, and decides that Johnson, who,
according to the decision, was Bridg.
cts "best and last friend" is the prop
er person to have the estate.
Bridget Torpey came to the United
States when she was eleven years old
and for over twenty-five years she
worked in the kitchen of Mrs. n B.
Taft's boarding house, at 46 West
Twenty-fifth street. During this time
she accumulated $30,OOO of which
amount s16,5OO was in cash in banks.
In his decision the surrogate COM
ments on Bridgets cleverness in
amassing the considerable fortune
which she left. He repeats the testi
mony, showing that after she left Mrs.
Taft's Bridget went to live with Miss
Bennett In One Hundred and Second
street shortly before Jan. l, 1908. She
remained there until she removed to
an apartment hired by johnson in
Eighteenth street. because, it is stated
she was unhappy in her previous abode
There was unquestionably an un-
derstanding between her and johnson
that If he would care for her during
her lifetime he should inherit the es-
tate" says the surrogate. Il do not
think 1t surprising that the decedenl
chose to reside with Johnson. She
had worked with Johnson and other
Negroes for quarter of century
and was accustomed to them. She
only went to live with Johnson after
she had diligently sought place else.
where"
In the Bennett home, according tt
the decision. Bridget was constantly
importuned for money and her trunk
ransacked. This. says the surrogate
had a tendency to destroy her conf
dence In the household.
"Her characterization that 1t was 6
hell on earth is not to be wondered
at" says Surrogate Thomas.
The testimony showed that Bridget
next moved to Mrs. Kelley's, where
z son threatened her that II money

Atchison. Kan, Dec. SIS. L. Nell
son of the Mckinley syndicate is in
Atchison, and in company with ]. w.
Waggener. superintendent of the local
street railway system, inspected the
proposed route for an interurban line
between Atchison and Leavenworth,
and the Atchison coal mine, on which
he has had an option for some time.
Mr.. Nelson also consulted with Off
Gals of the company which operated
the bridge over the Missouri river,
causing the belief that the proposed
line between Atchison and st. Joseph
will be on the Missouri side of the riv-
er, if a satisfactory arrangement can
be made.
Mr.. Nelson will leave for Europe
within few weeks, and will be gone
about two months. When he returns
work on the proposed lines will begin,
he says. One of the necessities of the
proposed interurban lines is a power
house, and it is said if the coal mine
deal goes through the plant will be
located at AtchiSon.

TRYING TO AVERT STRIKE
Trainmen and General Managers in
Conference In Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Representatives
of approximately $1,000 conductors
and trainmen employed on the sixty
railroads west of Chicago, who have
demanded an increase in wages aver
aging about fifteen per cent, are hold
ing daily conferences here with the
general managers in presenting their
arguments for the advance in pay and
improvements in working conditions
1t is estimated that the new scales
asked by the men will exceed in
amount those asked by the engineers
recently, which aggregated nearly
$4,000 900.
The employees are represented by
SIS general chairmen of the organiza-
tions on different roads, two from
each road in the case of the larger
systems, and by A. B. Garretson,
president of the order of railway con-
ductors, and w. @. Lee, grand master
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men.
Returns of the strike vote being
taken on the western roads by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
since the breaking on of negotiations
with the managers several weeks ago
are being sent from thesYariou5 roads
to the headquarters of the organiza-
ton In Cleveland. and will be assem-
bled and counted in a meeting in Chi
cago on December 10.
It is reported that the engineers of
several of the big western railroads
have already completed their votes,
showing SO per cent in favor of a
strike unless their demands for a if
teen per cent advance are, granted.

There is one drawback to the cap
ture of Noble. which has deferred
some of the brave men of Breathitt
county, as well as his feudal enemies,
from pursuing Noble. This is the mes
sage sent by Noble to the officers on
the morning of November 8, the day
after he murdered Turner, whom he
shot down in the streets of Jackson in
the presence of 200 people. The mes
sage stated that Noble was in the Lost
Creek section, among his own people,
and that all were ready to night for
him. "And when you send after mo"
the message continued, send a coffin
for every man in the possee and one
for me, too"
There is no undertaken at Jackson.
Noble has long been one of the des-
peradoes of Breathitt county. a sec
ton noted for its "gun men" His
career began when he was almost a
child, when he attended a dance at
the home of Squire J. W. Noble, his
relative. After the smoke of the usu-
ally resultant battle had drifted out of
the room Squire Noble and George
Fugate were dead. Jake was accused
of killing both. He served five years
in the penitentiary and then returned
to Breathitt county. Four years ago
he killed Deputy Sheriff Grant Holli-
day in a battle and wounded others.
He was never tried for the murder.
He had engaged only in moonshin-
ing whisky since that crime until he
killed Turner. Noble is promised a
lynching if captured alive. Every man
killed by him was a relative of his,
either by blood or marriage.

BAD STOCK MARKET.
Prices Fell With hittIe Interruption
Throughout the Week.

New York, Dec. 3.-The week in the
stock market was one of reaction
throughout Beginning with Monday.
on which day the alleged Hill inter-
view was issued, prices fell with little
interruption and the movement re-
ceived no little momentum from the
aggressive bear party.
Conditions in the steel and iron
trade as outlined in Chairman Gary's
interview following the meeting here
of the leaders in that industry, also
served to import weakness to the mar
ket. Other adverse factors were the
uniformly unfavorab1e reports of
earnings submitted by practically all
the leading railroad systems for Oc-
tober, and the condition of the nation
al banks in the west and southwest
as shown in the latest statements of
the comptroller of the currency.
Coming events at the national capt.
tai are viewed with some misgfvings,
although it is generally believed that
nothing of Importance will develop at
the coming snort session of congress.
