Eno, his former valet, Edmond Bigaut, from the French army, told about a conversation he had with his employer on the night of June 16, 1915, the day before Mr. Eno exccuted his con- tested will. The valet found the testator kneeling beside his bed, with his hands clasped, as though prayer. to heaven?" asked the millionaire. “No, I do not think you are,” re- plied the valet. “You treat your ser- | vants like dogs. You abuse Mrs. ;D:\sperln and me. RBesides, you are | too stingy to go to heaven Mr. Eno looked at him strangely, said Bigaut, and disputed the point. | said. ““You shall see I shall send you |a postcara from there.” Bigaut makes no pretence at being a diplomat. His sole proud boast is that he is a soldier. When he told the testator at Saratoga last summer that he was going to join his coun- try’s army Mr. Eno said “You had better look out or the Germans will shoot you.” “I will shoot some Germans before they shoot me,” replied the valet, who could not be deterred even after Mr. Eno showed him his will, in which he had left his valet $5,000 In case the latter was still in his employ at the testator’s death.

NEAL Disappointed Cousins Ask Probate Gourt to Adjourn Hearing RETAIN LAWYER McDONOUGH Favored Relatives Ready To Go On ‘With Hearing This Morning—Broad Street Property Owners Object To New Highway Lines—Other Items. Intimating that they propose to contest the validity of the will of Judge Frank §. Neal, Albert Bradley and Henry Neal of New Britain, first cousins of the testator, appeared be- fore Judge George R. Byington this morning and asked for a postpone- ment of the hearing concerning the admission of the document which was set for 10 o’clock today. That asked to have consideration of the will put off until July 5 when their Attornev P. F. McDonough of New Britain could be present to represent them. Several of Judge Neal's heirs were in court this morning but Judge By- ington decided against having the hearing at that time in view of the opposition presented by the disap- pointed cousins. Objection was raised to adjourning 5 because of the fact that A, H. Condell, who represented Plainville Trust company in pr ing the application for the adm of the will, has arranged to leave town for his annual vacation about July 1. He wanted the hearing held before that date. Attorney McDonough was in New Haven for the annual Yale-Harvard baseball game and could not be locat- ed. Judge Byington adjourned the hearing indefinitely, advising the par- tles interested that he will set a date after conferring with the lawyer for the contestants. Judge Neal's nearest of kin were first cousins, most of whom he re- membered with substantial inher- itances. It is not known on what grounds Mr. Neal and Mr. Bradley propose to contest the admission of the will. TIn fact they did not give no- tice of their intention to protesf, al- though it js the belief that they will ask to have the document declared nul Mr. Condell was present when Judge signed the will and he is ex- pected to be one of the principal wit- nessess in case its validity is disputed, The Episcopal and Catholic ~hurc! of Plainville, the Plainville Cemeter association and the Masonic Charities foundation are among the beneficiaries under the will. Property Owners Object. Owing to the absence of Charles H. Calor and ‘the development of oppo- sitlon to the acceptance of the high- v layout on Broad street, the board of selectmen last evening adijourned until next Monday night the hearing on the new maps prepared En- gineer Joseph N. McKern for Broad, Bohemia and North ing- ton streets and Forestville avenue. Property owners were out in anmbers to learn what course the selectmen propose to follow, and sev: 1 of those owning places on Broad street, particularly on the eastern end voiced their disapproval of the boundary lines shown by the survey, arguing against their acceptance because they are lose land which fences and other marks Indicated belonged to them. While it has been sald the people on some of the other streets were not satisfled with the layouts they iere not present to offer any objection last evening and it is probable that the selectmen will accept them at thelr next session. Engineer McKernan explained that in making the survey he was simply the measurements made in 1879 and that the maps showed prac- tically a re-location of lost lines rather by to in | “Edmond, do you think I am going | | maps give the boundaries. 3till, I think I will go to heaven,” he | | | | than the establishment of new ones. Consequently the property owners in- stead of sacrificing any of their own land for highway purposes are simply surrendering that which never be- longed to them, although occasion for disputing title has never arisen. On the eastern end of Broad street, the old survey simply gave the cen- ter of the highway, which should be sixty-six feet wide, and the new As a re- sult from three to four feet are to be taken off the land which some of the property owners have used as lawns and shade trees which some believed were located on their own property are in reality on the nighway. Property owners objected mostly on the grounds that they might lose the benefits of the trees although the se- lectmen claim that they have no in- tention of cutting them down. Even in case permanent sidewalks were laid, they believed it possible to get around the trees without razing them. In any event the indications are that it will be a long ime before any changes will have to he made. Representatives of George D. Clark were not in favor of the layout on West Broad street and they suggested that a survey be made of Chestnut street to make the curve more satis- factory. This course may be followed by the selectmen. Selectmen Johnson and Hart list- ened to the arguments of the prop- erty owners concerned and attemptad to explain the merits of the survey. They gave an interpretation of the law governing highways and advised that the hoard has the power to de- termine the boundary lines, despite any objection that may be offered, al- though the taxpavers of course have the right to appeal to the superior court. Before taking any action, however, | friend ALEXANDER “More fields to con- quer,” sighed the Macedonian con- queror.“More miles conquered,” sighs the Soconv motorist happily, looking at his speedometer. STANDARD O1L Co2 they wished to have Selectman Calor get the views of the property owners, and they decided to adjourn to next Monday, at which time it is probable that the people affected will be asked to repeat their objection. Crashes Into Guard Rail. Swerving his car to the side to avoid running down a motorcycle, James Davitt of Forestville, last evening nar- rowly escaped being involved in a se- rlous accident on the New Britain road, the auto which he was driving crashing into the guard rail at a point near the stone crusher. | The machine was badly damaged, the forward wheels crumpling from the collision, while other parts of the car were bent and otherwise injured. The occupants had a remarkable | escape from being hurt, all getting off without a seratch. Newell-Beckwith Wedding.
