 IN HANDS OF JURY

Judge Donald T. Warner, in the su- perior court here Tuesday afternoon indicated several different verdicfS which the jury might consider In the trial of the case of John A. Moran, administrator of the estate of the late John Tuckie of Norwich against George H. Bradford, administrator of the estate of the late George H. Pratt, aso of Norwich.

 The judge said he would hand to the jury several interrogatories which they were to answer yes or no, when they came to consider the case in the jury room.
 He indicated the several :verdicts 
 claim of duress, and undue influence and the time at which the claim had been presented to the administrator o1 the Pratt estate had a bearing. | they found that there was duress ant the claim had been presented withir the lefal time the verdict would bC for th plaintiff with money damage: to the value or the euu.ty in thu property.
