BY agreement of the parties in
the A. o. U. w. case which was
heard before Judge Leslie Cornish
will be reported to the law court. The
money already paid in to the clerk Of
courts by the Grand Lodge, by agree
ment, is to be used in paying the ex-
penses Of its being SO reported. This
was bill of inter -pleader, where An
drew J. WEIGH of Old Town, a member
of the Fraternal Society of the Grand
Lodge of Maine. A. o. U. W.. had died.
Upon the death of Mr.. WEIGH 1t was
found that he designated as his bene-
ficiary. Mrs. Irene Connor. whom he
named as his granddaughter. His heirs,
however. came forward and claimed
the amount due, upon the grounds
that Mrs. Conner was not the grand
daughter of the deceased and had
never been adopted by him, the same
being admitted by her. 1t is said. In
asmuch as the laws Of the State Of
Maine as we'll as those of the Fra
ternal Society provide that the bene-
ficiary must be a blood relative, the
heirs claim, it is understood, that the
amount should go to them; while MIS-.
Connor's attorneys insist the bene-
ficiary named by the deceased should
not be deprived of the amount he in
tended for her to receive. L. L. Walton
Of Skowhegan appeared for the A. O.
U. W., while Mrs. Conner was repre-
scented by B. F. Keith Of Old Town ana
George C. Weber of Auburn. The
council for the heirs included w. II.
