The trustees of the trust fund crea-
ted by the late George Atwater Of
Hamden are directed by a court de-
cision this week that the income Of
the Atwater trust fund is to be used
for the support of the INDECENT insane

the inmates of the Midd1etown hospi-
tai of the Norwich state hospital The
fund came into the possession of the
Middletown hospital in 1886, and it
Will SO remain, but the Middletown
hospital must apply money from the
fusd for the support of any of the
INDECENT of Hamden who may be con-
fined in the Norwich hospital.
The decision was by the supreme
court of errors in the suit of Frank B..
Weeks and others, trustees, against
Burton Mansfield, administrator, and
others. 1t was a partial victory for
the town of Handen. 1t was suit to
determine the construction of the will
of George Atwater of that place, who
gave trust fund to the Connecticut
hospital for the insane at Middletown.
George Atwater made his will soon
after the hospital was founded. The
fund, amounting to $23,975.S1, came
into the possession of the hospital in
1886. The will says that the fund
is for the benefit Of the insane poor
of Connecticlt and that "the trustees
shall have the right to expend the
income for the support Of INDECENT in
sane persons, giving preference to in
digent insane persons, if any such
there may be, belonging to and hav-
ing legal residence in Hamden.
The town of Hamden made the
claim that if the income exceeded
what was needed for the support of
Hamden's INDECENT insane at Middle
town, the rest should be applied to
the support of insane INDECENT resi-
dents of Hamden. confined in the Nor
witch hospital or any other institution,
