rendered a decision exonerating Mrs.
Laura r. Cramer, a clerk in the State
Department, of fraudulently securing
$40, 900 from eighty-nine- year-old Fenton
J. Hurd. OF Greenwich. Conn. The court
dismissed the suit brought against Mrs.
Cramer two years ago by Lee NJ. Hurd,
of New York City, for the restitution OF
money alleged to have been received by
Mrs. Cramer from his grandfather.
Justice Gould held that the elder Hurd
had a full and complete remedy at law
II he wished to recover the money CIV
en- by him to Mrs Cramer, The court
held that on the merits of the case the
plaintiff is not entitled to the relief
sought by him. In his opinion Justice
Gould takes up each Of the three charges
made by Lee NJ Hurd, the grandson

erted by Mrs Cramer. and alleged fraud
on the part of the defendants. The court
finds there is no evidence to support the
charges Of insanity or mental incapac-

The principal charge made by the
grandson against Mrs. cramer was that
she had written fake spiritualistic mes

shade Of the deceased wife OF her ben
efactor In these letters 1t was charged
the deceased Wife advised her husband
to place various sums of money in the
hands of Laurie CMrs. Cramer).
1t was alleged by the complainant that
this method was adopted by Mrs. Cra-
mer TO influence the elder Hurd. who
was an ardent believer in spiritualism.
and to get possession of his cash Hurd
had met Mrs. Cramer in 1903. when he
had retired from business owning 500

OF Mrs Cramer, and boarded with her
when visiting this city.
Mrs. Cramer denied in her answer that
she was the author of the alleged fake
spirit messages. disclaimed belief in the
doctrine of spiritualism. and stated that
she is of the Roman Catholic faith. She
admitted receiving s2.400 in various
amounts, but declared she was engaged
to Hurd, and that his gifts were the Of

care. like a daughter, which she had
given him for years when he was at
odds with his family. and had no one
