Actlon on the petition asking for the removal of James R. Boswell as fire commissioncr was postponed until the testimony of the two factions wwuld be heard, and letters were to the fire commissioners, inform- ing them of the selectmen's plany for hearings. It is thought likely that these will be held jointly or at least on the same night, but no definite date has been set as yet. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the sclectmen received the following petition: We, the undersigned members of Plainville Hose Co. No, 1, do hereby ipetition the board of selectmen of Plainville to remove James R. Bos- well from the board of fire commis- sions (sic) for the good of the de- partment.” The paper bore the signatures of 28 members of the firc company, including virtually all the firemen except the officers, The petition substantiated no charges and. in fact, made no spe- cific ones, so there waa nothing upon which the sclectmen could take any action. They thervrore decided allow both sides to present cases at hearings, the firemen to The fire commissioners will holi |2 regular meeting this evening and Will at least take the matts discussion.

Should the firemen carry out ther {threat to resign from the compuny the town would be left without ade- quate fire protection, as the disat: ected members constitute nearly the entire rank and file of company. The department numbers 40 men, of whom 28 signed the ouster petition. The remaining 12 men claim that several of these are in sympathy with their move but did not think it right for them to attach their names to the paper. The bdard of selectmen is in a peculiar situation in the matter, as two of the three members are ofs ficers of the department. Third Se- lectman Edward P. Prior is fire chief and Second Selectman Willlam Downham is a foreman, Only irst Selectman Jamcs Simpson is uncon- nected with the fire company. Ryder Slated For Judge Tt was learned today on good au- thority that the namec of Meritt O.

McCarthy. who would receive the residue of his wife's estate under a will made by bker, probation of which is under contest in the pro- bate court, resumed the stand as a witness today and rccalled that his wife had made five wills. His wife was Margaret Hunting- ton 8mith McCarthy, formerly of Cleveland. Ohio, and her first mar- rlage was to A. Y. Gowen, by whom she had a daughter, Margaret, who is one of the contestants. The value of the estate in said to be close to $40,000,000 but Judge Stephen L. { Radford wha is holding the hearing has said that the estate has yet to be appraised. Dr. McCarthy was questioned about his own career, and his mar- riage to Mrs. McCarthy. He was then asked various questions as to his knowledge of his wife's will k- ing. He was married at City hall in New York in April, 1 and Mrs. Bmith, his wife's mother, who lived in Cleveland contributed fargely o their support, that fall having sent them $75,000 with which to pay bills and meet expenses, At the time of the marriag: h: did not know his wife had money for she borrowed of him $500 to pav for the wedding. He said a will was drawn by his wife in Cleveland to protect her in this and afterwards anotier will was drawn by Mr. Nudeiman of that city for her. A will was drawn’ while they lived in New York and two wills were dravn here. In one will Margaret, jknown as Peggy Gowen, her daugh- ter was cut off with $500. Dr. McCarthy said that his wife was perfectly normal in health at the time of the settlement of her mother’s estate.
