acting the parts Of the play but rather feeling
and understanding and expressing the people of
the play. This was especially true OF Charles

C. F. Mason ct al Trustees
 This pamphlet contains the state ment of Moriarty's case as presented to the court.
 The other trustees were Earl Phil ip Mason and Arthur Livingstone Mason, all sons of Earl Potter Mason of Providence K. l., who created a trust deed on September IS. 1875 which was to endure for the term of ten years from it's date and by which his sons were authorized to take over all of his estate. both real and person. al. and were given all the rights and duties which he possessed as regards his estate on the above mentioned date.
 Earl Potter Mason died September 2i, 1876. aged seventy-two years that is. three days after he had executed this deed of trust.
 At the time the deed was ready for his signature he was unconscious. but from this condition he was aroused by draughts of brandy so that he affixed his name to the instrument, but whether he was conscious of what he was doing or not still remains an open question.
 This case was entered for the term of court which was to be held at Brooklyn in May 1878. but it did not come to trial until August 6, 1879. that Is. just fifty years ago. as l am dietating this letter on August 1. 1929. Accordingly it seems to me that the time is fitting to review the case before all memory of 1t has passed from the minds of the older residents of Putnam and while it still remains clear in my own mind.
 Earl P. Mason was wealthy resi- dent of Providence. a member of the firm of Butts and Mason. later. Mas on. Chapin < Go. wholesale dealers in drugs. chemieas and dye stuffs. In addition to his interest in this busi- ness he owned wooden mills in Black stone. Mass, and also one thousand shares of stock in the Wauregan mills Of Wauregan. Conn.

Become Bankrupt


 About ten years after .he close of this trial the firm of Whittemore, Peet Post & Co. became bankrupt and MT. Peet was compelled to ook for a position in order to support his amily. Accordingly, Marvile w. Cooper gave him a clerkship in the ap- praises division in the New York GUS om house. Mr. Cooper having been appointed appraiser of the port by President Harrison. Mir Peet had not been in the Custom House very long when my father, happening to be in New York. went in to the Gus tom House and called upon him. He had no difficulty in recognizing his old friend Moriarty then, although .en years before he had testified un- der oath that he scarcely knew him.
 The trustees brought from New York another man, a Mir. Barrow, who was either a salesman or an ac- countant for the commission house. He was familiar with the Moriarty ac- count and of course the trustees ex- pected him to support Mir. Peet's test imony but after he had heard Mir. Peet perjure himself, he left the court room and returned to New York without testifying. He would have delighted the soul of old Diogenes, be- cause he was an honest man.
 Other witnesses were heard, but l will not give their testimony in detail as it was comparatively unimportant.
 The arguments were heard and the case was completed August IA. 1879, the judges repairing immediately to Saratoga, N. Y. to deliberate on the case and prepare their findings. They were followed to that city by one of

NEW STREET NAME

Brady Ave. Residents My Nol
 Insist m Action

While it is not likely that the pe- tition for a change in the name oi Brady avenue, to Tyler street. will be withdrawn. it was indicated today that the petitioners will not make hard fight to have their recom- mendation adopted.
 The hearing before the city plan commission, scheduled for s o'clock tonight, has been postponed for one week, former Mayor George A. Quigley. chairman of the board, said today.
 Francis c. Kelly, cashier of the City National bank and member of the board of finance and taxation. who is one of the signers of the pe- tition for change in name. said to- day proponents of the measure care little whether it is approved or not. but that they believe 1t would be q matter of convenience both for the residents of the street and for strangers, who could easily be di- rected. The reason for selecting the Eame Tyler is the fact that other streets in the district are named after former presidents of the Unit ed States, and if Brady avenue is changed, 8 Presidential District" will be created.
 Strong opposition to the proposed change had been built up. The street was named in honor of the late Thomas H. Brady. one of those responsible for the municipal water works. former alderman, police commissioner and representative in the general assembly.
