Its Provisions Are Sustained by the Verdict of the Jury, JUSTICE BRADLEY’S CHARGE. No Evidence to Show That the Deceased ‘was Mentally Incapacitated—The Counsel for the Will Submit Their Case Wit! Argument—An Appeal Likely. As stated in yesterday's Stan, the testimony in the Ruppert will case closed yester- day afternoon, Each side then sub-| mitted the usual number of prayers, | some of which failed to receive tho ap- proval of Judge Bradley, and at afew minutes | to8o'clock Mr. Leon Tobriner, for the caven- | tors, began the final arguments in the caso, Judge Bradley explaining that each side would be restricted to two hours. Mr. Tobriner, referring to Christian Ruppert asa miser, whose whole hfe was given to the accumulation of money, asked the jury to con- sider whether it was probable that such a man would, uninfluenced, devote the great bulk of his estate to the formation of agreat charity. It was not claimed, said Mr. Tobriner, by tho caveatorathat Mr. Ruppert wasa lunatic, but they id contend that after the fire in December, 1890, he was « much changed man —weak, sick and brooding. It was a significant fact, said Mr. ‘Tobriner, that those who had testified that thoy saw no change in Mr. | Ruppert were those interested in the charitable | dequests of the deceased and those who had observed him only on those occasions when there was no necessity for the exercise of great mental faculties, ‘MES. WIEGMAN'S INFLUENCE. Referring to Mrs. Wiegman’s connection with the will, Mr. Tobriner claimed that she did influence Mr. Ruppert and that her expecta- tions were the possession of the 6th street house. She went to that house as a housekeeper, but in a short time thereafter and ever afterward, remarked Mr. Tobriner, ‘what she said went!” Contrasting the treatment of the wifo and housekeeper, Mr. Tobriner said Mrs, Ruppert bad remarked that sho “was nothing” in that house—so, it was idle nonsense, claimed Mr. To- briner, to say that Mr. Ruppert was not under the complete control of Mrs. Wiegman. But more than that, said Mr. Tobriner, Mra. Wiegman was continually poisoning the mind of Mr. Ruppert against his relatives, forever telling him that they cared not for | him, but alone for his money, which | they hoped and expected to get at his death. | Much as had Mra. Wiegman said against his rel- atives the woman, ssid Mr. Tobriner, had said much more against his wife of forty years. a poor, infirm old woman, who had day and night worked years to help build up the fortune Mr. Buppert lett. ‘MR. SIMON WOLF'S POWER. It would not do, continued Mr. Tobriner, to say that Mra, Wiegman, because sho was left but $2,000, did not influence Mr. Ruppert, for although she might not have obtained sabe sought, it, nevertheless, re- mained ' that she did’ wrongfully influence him, Where Mrs. Wiegman stopped some one else stepped in, and that person was Mr, Simon | Wolf, Woif bad explained that he took little or no part in connection with the fire m mber, 1890, yet he had put in ao bill of $250 for services in connection with it. And Mr. Wolf, stated Mr. Tobriner, had said on the tand that in connection with the will he bad acted more as a personal friend, but for his friendly services he charged the estate $150. Mr. Tobriner said that the executorship under such a will was one no lawyer would re- fuse, for it meant about €15,000. The fact that the will had been made was kept from the most intimate friends. Then, making a sum- mary of the circumstances incident to the exe- eution of the will, he said all pointed to Mr. Ruppert having been controlled by Mr. Wolf. MR. MATTINGLY WILLING To SUBMIT. | Mr. Mattingly, for the propounders of the | will, said that they did not desire to argue the caso and would submit it to the charge of tho court, The court said he understood that the cave- ators abandoned issue us to the mental capacity of Mr. Ruppert. ‘Mr. Worthington answered that they did not claim that he was continuously unsound, but that there were times when he was of unsound mind, and one of the questions was whether he was of unsound mind at the time of ite exe- cution. JUDGE BRADLEY'S REMARKS. The judge remarked that there was little left him outside of reading the prayers, which he read to the jury, and said that the burden of Proof as to sanity.was on the caveators (plain- tiffs). ‘The law concedes the right of disposing of his own property to every man, and the only | person who could not be set aside absolutely was the wife, and from the fact that she was not a party to| this suit it would be protumed that the will was | satisfactory to her. ‘The question of the execu- tion of the will having been procured by fraud was ruled out by the court, who held that there was no evidence to sua Such evidence as would justify the jury sustaining the issue on undue influence should show that by such influence or coercion the act was not that of | the testator. ‘As to the want of mental capacity, the evi- dence must go beyond a mere suspicion. It was not enough for them to believe that oppor- tunities existed for the practice of unduo in- fluence, but they must believe that such in- fluence was exercised and that the circum- stances show that such influence substituted the mind or will of Mr. Wolf, Mrs. Wiegman or other person for the mind of the testator. ‘They should consider all the circumstances which took place before, after and at tho time | of the execution of the ‘will, and they should be satistied that the mind of testator was under the influence of Mr. Wolf, Mrs. Wiegman and others and his will was controlled by one or more of them. It was claimed that Mr. Wolf had control of the testator, forhe (Ruppert) believed that W knew that the fire at the store was incendiary, but to justify the conclusion that Ruppert was guilty ‘they must find from direct evidence and circumstances leading to such conclusion. If Ruppert was guilty they must find that Wolf had knowledge of the fact from evidence that be not only might be guilty, but that he did set fire to the place, There was no evidence except that of Upman, who had proclaimed his rascality in the court room, md would do any act He felt it his duty to characterize him, and bad he been in the Criminal’ Court he would have directed the marshal to have taken him in custogy and hold him for the action of the grand jury. ‘This man said that Mr. Ruppert told him’ that he had set fire to the store, but he did not _ believe Wolf knew of it. Jf Wolf was not aware of that insinuated rascality and of the fact that because of it he had such influence then ono of the props was wanting. There was no evidence to justify the casting of this aspersion on the deceased. whose mouth was scaled. They could believe Upman or not, for what he (Upman) thought ‘was not to the point. ‘The caveators took a number of exceptions. The jury found a verdict sustaining the will after thirty-five minutes’ deliberation. ‘The case will be appealed. An Evening on the Potomac.

AINsworTH GUILTY? “Manly Dealing” beads his letter with the question given above and says: Some of your readers would like an answer to this question, It may enable them to understand why this furore, why these anathemas, and, above all, why the shameful and cowardly cries of “Ha: him! Lynch him!’—cries which have done mi to injure the good name of the clerks in the various departments, though Perhaps mone of them were so unmanly and foolish as to join in such cries. What has Col. Ainsworth donc? He had nothing to do with selecting that dark and noisome “Black Hole.” He tound it there and the clerks crowded into it when he came here im 1886, and be had no power to change their quurtera, On his superiors and Congress, nob on bim, must rest the responsibility of the selection of that gloomy and unhealthful build- ing. He removed the lateral book cases and #0 added quite a little to the needed light. He moved tons of files and documents and so lessened what danger attached to the building, He enggested or approved the introduction of an electric plant into the building, the excavas tion for which would add to the’ ventilation thereof. All the clerks rejoiced over the pros of more light and purer air. The War Bevariment, init usual way, advertised for proposals to do the needed excavation and gave ‘the contract to a Mr. Dent, an experienced and skillful man.

Let us have manliness enough to do justice to all and give to evers man an open, #quare chance to meet all accusations against him, THINGS THE PUBLIC WANT TO KNOW. “One of the Sufferers” writes: Some of the things the public want to know are: If, as Mr, Covert saya, the by order of Col. Ainsworth who feared for the building? ‘Why was there no competent engineer im charge of the work? Why was the building which had been de~ clared unsafe in the eighties, with a recom- mendation that half of the force then there should be removed, not only kept, but an addi- tioual force sent there from the War ment apd that building left with only three oF four clerks in many of the rooms? Why was it that if, as Mr. Covert says, 0 much care was taken to make the work sxfe, that none of the clerks saw any evidence of this care? Why. if Ainsworth was a person te be over men, so many tried to get away ‘rom the office after be was placed in charge that Mr. Frech told them that Col. Ainsworth did + not wish any one to ask for transfer; that if they wanted to go to any other office they might resign, which some of them did subse quently rather than «tay under him? Why. if Col. Ainsworth had done what he knew to be right, should he place himself on the defensive before being accused? Was it conscience, that doth make cowards of us all? How was it that Col. Ainsworth never beard that the building was unsafe, when it was com= mon talk among the clerks and bad been free quently mentioned in the daily newspapers? It isa well-known fact that many of the clerks fear to testify to whet they know, simply for the reason that they have families to sup- port and no other way todo it. They reasom that, though there may be no doabt of Secre- tary’Lamont’s good intention to protect them while bere, that is less than four years at the longest, and also that it is easy to trump @ charge against any one, such as incompetent, ineubordinate. offensive partisanship or any other excuse they might make; and how is the Secretary to know?
