WILLIMANTIC fGURLEY GIVEN NOTHING. Probate Judge Shea Finds No Evi denee to Support His Claim.

The decision of Judge James A. Shea of the probate court in the mat ter of the claim of Albert E. Gurley against his brother Andrew Gurley's estate for the sum of five thousand dollars as recompense for his work and trouble in recovering eighty-two theu- sand dollars belonging to his brother from the hands of other relatives, was announced Tuesday morning. Judge Shea stated that in his opinion no basis for such claim had been eStab- lished by MT. Gurley at the hearing held last Friday and therefore he could not allow him anything. Judge Shea, however, as at the hearing, gave MT. Gurley a chance to file an itemized statement showing exactly what he did, and what expenses he had in cured, in obtaining the money for his brothers estate.
