London, July Questionable Lon
don is deeply Interested in the will
case in the probate court here in
which Lady Sackville is making a
plucky fight for the fortune of $5,OOO.-
900 left her by Sir John Murray Scott.
The probate of the will is opposed
by Malcolm Scott, brother of the
decedent on tie ground of undue in
fluence. He charges that his brother
was easily susceptible to influence
during his last days and that Lady
Sackville and her husband, Baron
Sackville, used a mesmeric influence
over the old man.
Much interesting evidence has been
introduced, and the case is proving
one of the biggest attractions of the
season. Several members of the Scott
family have given their testimony and
a number of letters written by Lady
Sackville 10 Sir John have been intro
duced.
In one of the letters written by
Lady Sackville in 1911 she shows ap,
prehension that the old man will cut
her out of his will.
1T is not fair" the letter reads, Ito
promise friend as you did, keep the
promise for twelve years and then
break it. As for my part am playing
the game. You need not be afraid
that l shall start a great friendship
with any one else. You are absolutely
the only person have trusted in that
way in my whole life. am well re
paid for it now, alas"

You are an old silly and you shall

In another letter she said she liked

BROWNS A FRIEND

Chicago, July 4.-Harold Fragel, z
years old, 939 Concord place, sat on
the knee of Lieutenant Max Heidel-
meier of the Hudson avenue station
last night and admitted that he had
pushed a 6-year-old playmate, George
Hammer of s74 West North avenue,
into the river Tuesday. the boy had
previously told three other stories, and
only made his confession when per.
suaded by the lieutenant.
Now, Harold" said the lieutenant,
tell me what happened to George"
81 pushed him in the river" answer
ed the lad.
What did you do that for?"
He slapped me-"
What for?"
The boy shrugged his shoulders,
then said:
He threw my wagon in the river
and l pushed him in after it."
George was drowned near the North
avenue bridge. A watchman at third
floor window of a building some dis
tance away heard a splash and saw a
boy swimming, but thought dog had
been thrown in the water He gave
the information which led to Harold's S
confession.
Harold Fragel passed the Hammer
house last Tuesday and invited George
to walk with him. At O'Clock that
afternoon George had not returned.
Then this sister went to the Fragel
home and asked Harold where George
was. Harold said he hadn't seen
George ali day. Then Adam, the faith
er, went to the house and questioned
the boy. Harold said he and George
walked in North avenue to the Lake
Shore drive where George took off his
clothes and dived into the lake.
Policemen went to the place, but
were convinced the story was untrue.
A second story told by the Fragel boy
was that George had jumped into the
river at Wabansia avenue. Later
he said George had told him he was
going to ride a freight train out OF
the city and go far away.

Norwich bulletin., 1913-03-17

Judge Curtis of the superior court for this county handed down two de- c1sions on Friday motions which have recently been argued before him. In the demurrer entered by the de- fendant in the case of Emma Edwards vS. Town of Waterford, the judge over = ruled the demurrer. The case will proba ply be taken to the supreme court of errors.
 The Edwards case is one of the most
 peculiar in recent years and it's pro- gress is being witched by lawyers and law publications both in and out of Connecticut. It was originally brought to recover for personal injuries. Then a question of defective notice was raised. The legislature passed a vaH dating act and on this act the case came before Judge Curtis two weeks ago for argument on a question of conStitutionaiity. The decision of the court clears the way for the trial of the case,
 Mrs. Edwards, the plaintiff. with her husband. Percy L. Edwards, was walk ing on the highway in the town of Wa terford Christmas eve 1908. She claims to have fallen off an unguard- the Lyme turnpike. Side of the road, through the hollow, is a bank, from eight to ten feet high. At the time Mrs Edwards fell this was not pro- tected by fence. It was showing and dark. Mrs. Edwards sustained a broken hip was disabled for three months and has permanent injury as the result of the fall.
 The suit was commenced in April, 1909. By a singular mistake in reck- oning the calendar, fhe notice was not served on the selectmen of Water ford until one day after the expira tion of the 60 days limit.
 In 1911 the legislature passed an act which provided that in cases of personal injuries previously caused by defective highway the notice should be deemed sufficient if it was given to selectmen of the town within two months after the accident, if, in other respects the notice is according to law. The term two months instead of 60 days gave the notice 9. valid effect.
 The complaint in the Edwards case was amended to conform to the pro- visions of this act. Counsel for the defendant town filed a demurrer on the ground that the act itself was un- constitutional
 The question was fully argued be- fore Judge Curtis and an elaborate brief was filed on each side.
 Counsel for the town claimed gen. erafly at time validating act was passed by the plaintiff had no cause of action and that the attempt to ere ate cause of action where none ex- isted would be to take property from
