preme court issue of Priscilla f.
Bright, wife of e~x-sberiff w. H..
Bright, We. Robert Bright, administra-
tor of the estate of his father, Henry
Bright, occupied Wednesday and
Thursday. Mrs. Bright sued the
estate for 1885 for 500 weeks board of
the deceased at five dollars per week.
Included in the amount Is $3.50 paid
for DOCTORS aud drug store bills and
S210 paid for clothing. The estate is
worth about IS. 900. Lewis Starr rep
resented Mrs. Bright and Judge H. H.
Voorhees, and William Harris repre-
scented the other heirs. 1t appears that
twelve years ago, upon the death of
his wife, Henry Bright went TO live
with his eldest sons family at the sug-
gestIon Of the latter, with the agree
ment, 1t is claimed, that the old gen.
tleman would compensate them in his
will. The other brothers and sisters
claim that there was no such agree
ment. Upon the death Of Mr.. Bright
about a year ago no will vas found
among his papers aud the lawful heirs
insisted that the property be divided
among his eight children as provided
by law. Several witnesses were heard
from Holly Beach and wood
among whom were DR.. George M.
Adams, William T. Garrison, Mayor
Smith, Chief of Police Lester Smith
and Mrs. r. w. Ryan. These wit
nesses were In addition t the testi-
mony of the various members of the
family. The testimony showed that
the old gentleman received good care
at the Bright home, but other mem
bers of the family testified that they
also were willing to furnish a home for
the father, who died at the age of 81
years, in fairly good health until the
last one or two years Of his life. In
charging the jury Judge Carrow stated
1t was the duty OF children to care for
their aged parents without remunera-
ton unless there was an express agree
ment for compensation, which, how
ever, did not have to be In writing.
In summing up the case Judge Voor-
hees made an earnest and logical plea
for the defendants. The case went TO
the jury at one o'clock yesterday after
noon, and after being out part of the
night brought ia q verdict of 5000 for
the plaintiff.
