NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1879.—TRIPLE SHKE. JERSEY CATV MURDER. TRIAL Unhappy Domestic Relations of the Dead Officer and His Wife, a MRS. SMITH'S PARTIALITY FOR BENNETT Damaging Evidence Against the Accused Widow and Her Alleged Accomplice. _—+———— Lhe interest jn the trial of Jennie RB. Smith and Covert D, Bennett, indictea for the murder of hor bushand, has increased daily since the beginning of the trial, and the crowd in the court room en tho first day dwindled into insignificance when compared with the atten lance yesterday. Every, available inch df space was occupied, the centre aisle being packed with femules, many of whom had apparently passed their three scoré yeurs. The crowd in the gallery was so great that men hung half way over the railing in such a position that a slight push would have sent them over entirely. At recess only a few left the court room, nearly all having provided themselves with lunch, so that they might save their seats. MRS. SMITH'S FOREBODING, i The first witness examined was Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, a pale, sad-eyed Jady, the mather of the mur- derea officer, As she took the stand the accused widow covered her eyes with her handkerchief and wept. She continued sobbing for ten minutes until her mother-in-law had left the stand. |The witness testified that three or four days before the murder Jennie had called upon her and told her that she thought Harry wouldn't live long because the night previous “Jennie,” the dog, had jumped upon Harry’s bed and moaned three times; the widow had regarded it as # foreboding of coming evil. WAS JEALOUSY AT THE BOTTOM OF IT? Mrs. Nettie Smith, wife of the officer’s brother, Alderman John E. Smith, was next sworn, and was watched intently by the widow while she testified :—- Lreside at No. 99 Pacific avenue, Jersey City; on the flay of Heury’s death I visited the house and saw Jennie; I said to her, “Jennie, how did this happen?” and she replied, “I don’t kno I said that jealousy was probably at the bottom of it, and some man who wanted her had killed Harry, and she said, “Well, if any man killed Harry for me he will never get me;"”” I never saw Bennett with Jonnie but oneo, and that time my husband and mother-in-law were in the room; she told me that Bennett hada number of theatrical bcoks, and she studied some of them so that she could “speak them off by heart;” I visited her one morning while she was living in Pine street; she told me that Harry wanted to move tnd she wanted to board—that is, “I want to board done,” said ehe, “and have Harry pay my board, and then he can go where he likes;"’ I told her, “Jennie, Garry will never consent to that,”’ she made no answer to the remark. UNHAPPILY MATED. The next witness was®Rebecca Nathan, ‘a pretty black eyed Jewess, who spoke in a very pleasant and sudible tone of voice, She testified that she was ac- quainted with Harry and Jennie Smith. I lived with them, she said, in Pine strect and in Halliday. street, Jersey City; I lived there about a year and a half; they quarrelled very often; it was through jealousy; he was jealous of ‘her and she wos jealous of him; if she looked out of the window and a man passed he would accuse her of flirting with him told me that she didn’t care for him, and said to me, “Ionly married him to .get a héme;" I remember one night Hurry made some, trouble on account of some nan Jennie knew; atter that while walking in the street and talking of Harry she said, “It I only dared to I would pat poison in ‘his coffee." Senator Wintield, beginuing the cro«s-examination, said:—Well, now, Miss Nathan, having given us the shades of married life, you will let me ask you about ights of it. Did you ever see Harry and Jennie x A. raoiny. Q. Don’t you think that they lived as happily as married poople generally do? A. Oh, no. Q. It was only once in a while that a cloud would come over their happiness, was it? Ob, it was every little while. ‘ JENNIE'S OPINION OF “COVE.” Zephania Concklin created considerable merri- ment in relating a quarrel between Jennie and her husban He testified:—I reside with Alderman Smith; I knew Officer Sinith for twenty-four years; I last visited his house about the 15th of lust July; I recognize the knife shown me as the one on the table in Smith's house wt my last visit; I met Bennett in the house but once; he was talking to Mrs. Smith: Thad been working at a chicken coop in the yard and Mrs, Smith called me to go to the grocery store; when I returned I met Mrs, Smith talking to Bennett at the gate; Mrs. Smith smiled at me and I waiked back to my work; Jenme followed me in a short while and said, “Did you know that young man at the gate?” I told her I did not, and she said, ‘That is Mr. Bonnott, who Harry ordered out of the house; he has been so kind to me that I feel sorry for him; don't you think he is nice looking?" I said, “He looks to me like a boy,” and she said, “I think he is # dar- ling.” “SPOUTING"’ SHAKESPEARE. Mrs. Smith smiled at the testimony. The witness continued: remember a quarrel at breakfast one morning: Mrs. Smith was reciting Shakespeare, and Harry said, For the Lord’s sake, Jennie, stop thi Q. How did you know it was Shakespeare? it sounded like Shakespeare to me. A, Well, it had some- (Laughter, . Ix that how you knew it? thing in it about ‘Begone, thee villian, in which Bennett and Mrs. Smith joined.) In cross-examination by Senator Winfield the wit- ness estified that he neyer paid much attention to their family affairs, but thought that they lived hap- pily. ‘The witness coutinued:—Mrs, Smith was unpleas- ant all day; she was always “spouting” Shakespeare, and she would “spout” to any one; Harry wou tell her, “Come off, there is no one laughing at yor and she would get mad, MARTIN CUMMINGS’ TESTIMONY, The prosecutor then called Martin J, Cummings, en excitable little old man, who instructed ex-Judge Hoffman to speak to him as a gentleman end would answer him. He testified that jhe resides at No. 127 Jackson avenue, Jersey City Hi night of July 31 he left his store at hal{-past ten o'clock and took a Pacific avenue car tor home; after the cur had renehed Grand strect three passengers fr on, aud one of them asked him for permission to ight his cigarette at his cigar; witness obliged him. Bennett was asked to staud up, aud Mr. Cummings said:—That young man resembles the one | obliged with alight; I remember him because rT noticed that he had a very intelligent and was much better looking than the ordinary or young men; I went inside the car at tn avenue canal bridge, and [noticed that ou wrning into Communipaw avenue (after passing Smith's house) the young man had got otf. he withess Was crowe-exaipined man, and he said that he had been called w prosecutor to yo tu the County dau, a!

After recess John Johnson, a conductor on the Central Railroad, testitied:—T reside at No, 190 Pacitio avenue; | was with Willian Me(ail about three o'clock on the morning of the murder and yoing howe [ noticed a young man stanting neat Latayerto reek: ‘k cont, had dark clothes and wore abandkerchiet around his nec! was about tivo feot oight inches in height; I only saw hit side fave.

He was on the stand when the Court adjourned, CORA SAMMIS’ FATE. INVESTIGATION BY THE CORONER—‘‘MADAM” BERGER HELD IN TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS BAIL—FRANK COSGROVE RELEASED ON BAIL, The tragic and dramatic elements were combined at the Coroners’ office yesterday during the inqhest on the body of the unfortunate young woman Cora Samumis, the alloged victim of malpractice. Seldom before in the history of that centre of sensations and surprises, the Coroners’ office, has a caso attracted such interest and attention, or has tHere®een witnessed so remarkable an audience. Occupying a prominent position on the front seat, facing the Coroner’s desk, were the principal actors in the proceedings under inyestigation. Conspicuous among these was the squat and corpulent figure of the “Madam,” Mrs, Bertha Berger. By her side was seated her daughter, Mrs. Rachel Davis, apparently an indifferent specta- tor to the nnusual surroundings. Noxt came Minnie Russell, alias Belenda Callum, a comely looking young girl, one of the inmates of the Berger house- hold. Frank Cosgrove, the reputed lover of Cora Semmis, occupied an adjoining seat. Throughout the pro-eedings he shrank away in acorner of the court room and looked the picture of misery. He is a slim young man, with sharp, narrow fea tures, prominent nose, dark brown mustache and a retreating forehead. At the extreme end of the line sat a small, wiry-looking woman, who watched the case with remarkable curiosity. This was Mrs. McLymond, the Westchester gardener’s wife, who was arrested by Captain Murphy as she was about entering Mrs. Berger's house last Wodnesday, and who subsequently confessed that she was one of the “Madam's” patients. To the left of the “Madam” was the blithe and attractive Nellie Whalen, alias Tessig Williams, who rented furnished rooms and otherwise adorned the household of the German’mid- wife. This young woman, by her coquettigh behavior, relieved the proceedings of that solemn and sombre character which ‘the tragic nature of the case in- spired, She chattered incessantly, while her mobile features wore wreathed in smiles, with an affable ofiicer, who apparently was gratified with the favor- able impression he had produced on the susceptible ‘Tessie or Nelte, as the case may be. ‘k of these were seated side by side Mrs. Betts and hor sister,’ both aunts of deceased and residents ef Brooklyn. ‘fhey were tall, matronly women, dressed in mourn- ing, but who’ preserved a remarkable composure undeg the circumstances. They wene attended b; young Mr. Betts and another cousin of deceased. Grouped to the rear of these were the father and uncle of Frank Cosgrove, sad und silent spectators, casting anxious glances on their relative, Mrs. Maty Betts was the first witness. She said she resided in Brooklyn, and was the aunt of deceased; the latter arrived on @ visit at her house last Tues- day week, and her niece was accompenied by Frank Cosgrove; witness knew that deceased and Frank Cosgrove were keeping company and understood they were engaged to be murried; she had heard that her niece was sick in this city last Tuesday; about the cause of her sickness witness knew nothing until ehe arrived at the house in East Twenty-seventh street, when she learned that her niece was dead, WHAT THE BOARDERS KAY. Ellen Whalen, alias Tessie Wiliams, came trip- pingly to the stand. She was a willing witness, gave er testimony glibly and seemed on the whole to relish the situation. She said he# age was eighteen years; she had lived tor three weeks at No. 161 Kast [wenty-seventh street; she saw Cora Sammis for the jirst time on Tuesday of last week; witness occupied a room over the parlor; when Cora Samumis arrived+ she was accompanied by Frank Cosgrove; Cora was assigned to the top Soars witness had never seen Cosgrove ‘ore, but sew him once or twice since; he came down one night and asked Minuie Russell if she would please come up stairs; he went out, and upon his return Minnie came hack to her room; she visited decoased one morning; witness did not know what wus the matter with her; Rachel Davis told her she was sick; after Cora bad been there a little while Mrs. Berger in- formed the witness that Cora had come there for the urpose of having a miscurriage: she heard Mre. Herger tell Cosgrove that it he wanted to consult doctor he would have to call in one himself; she did not know when Cura Sammis died. Minnie Russell, alins Belenda Cullum, stated sho had lived at No. 161 Kast Twenty-seventh street for two weeks; she saw Cora Sammis at bre» kfast Thurs- day of last the night before she died Cosgrove asked the witness to go up stairs and stay with Cora, ax he was going out; Mrs. Berger informed her that was there for the purpose of having @ miscar- ; she never had a conversation with Cora; the latter was delirious when the witness was in the room. THE ANTE-MORTEM STATEMENT. At this stage of the proceedings Coroner Flanagan instructed Dr, Miller to read to the jury the unte- mortem statement of decoased, but Counsellor Howe objected until Dr. Miller Was first sworn. When that ceremony was performed counsel asked Dr, Miller if deceased did not say that sho was going to die be- cause the Doctor had so informed her, or “if you say so I suppose it is so.” Dr. Miller promptly an- swored, ‘No, sir; those were not her words.” Coun- sel demanded the exact words, and the Doctor re- plied:—“What she said was, ‘I think Iam going to die,’ or ‘Lam not going to get well,’ or words to that effect.” “Then I protest agaifet the reading of the ante- | mortem,"’ suid counsel, “because it is not competent evidence after the answer of the Doctor.” ‘The objection was overruled. and the follo’ mortem statement submitted to the jur: My name is Cora Sanmis, I reside in Northport, L. 1. I believe Lam yoing to die, Have no hope for my recovery. 1 came to this house, No. 161 East Twenty-seventh street, on Tuesday, February 4.

EXECUTION YESTERDAY aT CLEVELAND OP MGILL, THE MURDERER OF MARY KELLY—- A QUIET AND REMARKABLE SCENE—THE STORY OF THE MURDER. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) CLEVELs¥D, Ohio, Feb. 13, 1879, Charles BR, McGill was executed this morning’ for the murder of Mary Kelly, The exceution was pri- vate, and was only wituegsed by the officials and a representation of the press of the city and vicinity, McGill's sleep on the night previons to the day of the execution was ali that the murderer could have asked for; from the minute his head tonched the pillow until four o'clock this morning he slumbered sounlly, as if he had no thought whatever of anything beyond. After # brief conversation with the guard at the time he retired, he turned over and aguin slept antW six o'clock. On rising ‘| the doome’ man dressed himself in a neat black brosdetoth suit, worn for the first time, with white necktie and slippers, Tho barber shaved him, and then he breakfaste’d. The tenderloin steak, eggs, potatoes and coffee were devoured with an apparent relish, and McGill appeared to be in the enjoyment of the best of. hea]th and spirits when the officers re- moved him to the new cell just adjoining tho scaffold, but with an open entrance facing the other way. The death warrant was shown McGill, and at his own request the Sheriff pormitted him to read it aloud, He displayed good elocutionary powers and his voice showed no signs of trembling. His counsel visited him and were given mementoes. The eon- demned man feferred to the dear memento he carried constantly next his heart, and desired that this be buried with him. Tho counsel inquired what this was and was startled to learn that he referred toa bag made of a piece of his shirt and stained with the blood of his victim, The next person admitted to the cell was the Rev. Lathrop Cooley. Both solemnly and unitedly prayed, an appropriate Scrip- tural selection was read, McGill sang a hymn and the sacrament was administered. “I feel,’ said the doomed man, ‘not like a bravado, but as if I would die in spirit and manner Godlike, and Ihave my mind continually filled with religions fervor.” Although his face whitened he did not tremble when hand- cuffed, He was led by the Sheriff on to the fatal trap. Before him were about seventy-five spectators, mainly newspaper men; behing him the prison officers; at the right the spiritual alviser, while the Sheriff after adjusting the noose stationed him- self at the lever. The black cap was then put on and the clergyman prayed. Suddenly the trap fell and in a moment McGill's neck was broken and death was instantaneous and painless. The body was placed in charge of the brothers of the dead man? HISTORY OF THE CRIME. Mary Kelly was murdered vy McGill in this city on the evening of the 23d of December, 1877. She was McGill's mistress, He had a wife living, whom he deserted, and Mary Kelly stated before her death that she had known him for four years. The tragedy occurred at the house of Laura Lane, No. 100 Cross street, where Mary Kelly had been living for about five weeks previously. The woman Lane tes- tifled at the inquest that Mary Kelly introduced her to McGill on the Saturdey night preyious to the mur- der. She observed that he was not drunk, but seemed to be in # pleasant and good natured mood. Concerning the relations of Mell sand the woman she said that Mary had told her they were to be mar- ried soon and that they were to go to Fort Wayne to live. He left the hame of witness early on Sunday morning: he came back during the day and was then sobor and ina good humor. Mary asked her for a cigar and she gave it to her, and Mary who gave it to McGill, who sat on the sofa and smoked, He gave her fifty cents, which she gave to Laura, and asked if they could go up stairs to sleep. She guve her per- mission, and they retired about one o'clock. In vd a noise was heard in the irl was sent up to see what was the eonee of it. Mrs. Lane then went on to describe what followed, and said:—"‘The girl came down and said he had a revolver in his hand, and T told her to g0 for the police quick. I then put on my clothes and went up stairs, When I got up thero McGill was sitting on the bed beside Mary, who was lyin, there all covered with blood. I said, ‘Oh, my God, Charlie, what did you do that for?’ and he said, ‘I done it.’ He appeared to be calm, .but I saw no revolyer anywhere about. I ‘don’t know whether she was dead or alive, but she didn't speak. I went down stairs then and went to the barn, next door, and told Sam Thorman to get a policeman. After I got buck to the house again McGill had come down gtatrs, and Thorman asked me to give McGill water to wash his hands, but Tcouldn’t do it. Ifound McGillin the kitchen, his tece, hands and shist smeared with blood. There ‘was water there in a bow! and he began to wash hin- self, and I went up stairs with Dr. Sackrider, who came in just then. When we got w airs Mary was Thad no furthof conversation with MeGill,” THE CONFESSION. In a confession which the prisoner made he gave the following explanation of his crime :— She said she loved ine more than any person in the w she had commenced to lead th ofa life und she wanld always follow it, T we could dhare hor wealth 0) not be so wicked and hard-hearted as to live off tution, and I did not know what to do. She ‘said she had boon living in this house over sinee ve had ran away frem Mr. Hoiah's, on ke street, and that had told me # falsehood abont living out on Broadwa: T asked her what 1 had done that hould throw herself away in that manner.

WAITING FOR THE VERDICL, Long before the usual hour for opening the court yesterday morning the Oyer and Terminor court room and tho outer corridor were filled with a crowd avxious to know the fual determination of the jury.

As Mr. Sparks, the clerk, cailed out their names, there was intense silence throughout the room, “Have you agreed on your verdict?’ Mr, Sparks asked after finish roll call. “We have hot, the foreman, “D received & communication trom you," said Judge Barrett, “e few moments since dnnouncing our inability to agree on @ verd'ct, I therefore sent for you to inquire if there was anything as to the law upon which you might dosire information.

HOW THE JURY sz00D, Pollowing the announcement of their discharge the jury at once left their seats. One of them approached the Bench and had a brief whispered conference with Judge Barrett. Mr. Rollins addressed another of the number and others crowded around them with questions xs to how they stood, The prisoners’ | counsel, however, remained in their seats, } Ve stood eleven to one,” said one of the jurors; ven for conviction and one for acquittal.'” low did you stand when yon first went out?” was next asked. “Woe stood six to six, then eight to four, and finally eleven to one.”’ “A case of eleven obstinate jurymen, then.” “A genuine case.” * MOTION TO REDUCE HALL, Ex-Judge Curtis made a motion to reduce the bail of the prisoners, which had been tixed at $10,000 cach, Tho prisoners, as ho stated, were in poor etrenin- stances, aud while the amount of bail required would soem niodcrate to persons in opulent cizenmstances, it was utterly impossible for the prisoners to give | bail in any euch sum. He thought that the Court in n should reduce the bail to a sum neees- ure their tnture appearance, but conform- sary to si ing to their meaus and condition in life. Mr. Rollins urged that if a person was under ac- ensation of crime it would be absurd because he was worth only a dollar to make his baila dollar, objected particularly to a reduction of bail. udge Barrett said that he thought the bail was a very merciful one under the circumstances and he must deny the zuotion to reduce it, He thought, how- ever, the prisoners were entitled to a speedy trial and also the pubhie. If the case went off for the term it could not be tried until next November, Ife would thereforp set the case down for trial next Monday week. The Court on this announcement was adjourned, and the prisoners were handcuffed and removed from the court roo FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION. | i { | THE NINTH SECTION OF THE RFAGAN BILL ON | INTERSTATE COMMERCE OPPOSED—VIEWS OF VICK PRESIDENT BLANCHARD, OF THE ERIE RAILWAY COMPANY. A meeting of the Cominittee on Trade of the Produce | Exchange was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Board of Managers, No, 33 Pearl street. The object was to receive complaints of merchants in relation to discrimination in railway freight rates on through shipments from the West to Europe. Mr. Asa Stevens occupied the chair. The committee, he said, desired to hear facts only which cau be substantiated, so that the committee could embody them in an appeal to the Legislature for relief. Mr, Franklin Edson, president of the Ex- change, read several clanges from the Reagan bill on interstate commerce, which is now before the Com- mittee of Commerce of the Senate, having passed the House of Representatives by a large majority. He expressed opposition to section 9, which, he claimed, discriminated against our merchants on the seaboard and in favor of foreign traffic. He then read some of the views of George K. Blan- chard, vice president of the Eric Railroad and one of the committee who went to Washington with pool Commissioner Fink to oppose the Reagan bill, He seid that he had just received a, communication from Mr. Blanchard, which he thought explained the matterfully. Mr. Blanchard objects to the bill be- canse, die claims, it legulizes a foreign trattic and at the same e discriminates against the seaboard cities. The companies possessing the requisite faciliti will enlarge aud’ stimuiate their foreign traftic more through rate and more bills of lading between this und foreign countries in both directions and by a wilder internal railway competition than betore. | Greater inducements than ever before will be offered to large forwarders of merchandise from and to foreign ports. Direct railway rebates and drawbacks may and will be offered and paid without limit, or railways may pool or divide tuefr earnings on that traffic, or the rates upon that ‘rafie may be changed every hour, and all these things, he claims, are au- thorized by this act. Mr. Blanchard says:—t*Aasumb a rate of freight trom Chigago to New York consigu- | eos to have been fixed under this act at) thirtydive cents per 100 pounds and that it is then held there by this law. The competition tor tovegm freights miay reduce the proportion accruing between Uhicago and New York of athrough rate fronuhicayo to Liverpool to twenty-five cents, making a difference | of ten cents per 100 pounds, or $25 per car load less | between the same points on the same date for the saine articles, via the same railways and inthe same trains, und that difference, and discrimination are legalize: by this bill.” NOTHING BUT INJURY. Mr. Blanchard says that this will not benefit any Atwerican interest, but iujure business ut every sca- voard of the Union. Merchants who have hereto- foro received iarge consignments by railway froin the West, which have been soid to agents of English honsos, there resident, cannot hereatter competo in those respects tor the following reasons:—First, there will be an average difference in both ratiway and steamship rates aguinst them; second, the lower foreign through rates may then be changed | He | any foreign port, on the cable adyices,.which dyily | determine large transactions, while jhe do pmestic eight days; third, this will injure amerchents, bankers and other Lesson J interests at the, seaboard, and the fore:gn house will do its business with the cities which can give the cheapest and promylext total cost. THE PETROLEUM MONOPOLY, Mr. Bush, who represented outside petroleum re- fincries, said that the Reagan bill may be defective, it passes the Senate every railroad will be bankrupt in twenty years, He was informed that railroad officials in Peausylvauia were in tavor of it. | Referring to the carriage of petrolqum he said that it was preyed upon more than any other inter in railroads, for instauce, would charge f45 ad of grain to @ certain port and a car for oii tor one half the distance. W:th ref: to discriminations, it wae not only dou jagers, but merchants were told th jayers’ intention to do so. M | Pennsylvania Railroad, the speaker said, had acon- | ference with several refiners in thix city some time | ago and informed them that, after the expiration of the contracts with the implre line, the refiuers would not have as low a rate as the Standard Oil | Company. Mr. Cassatt gave as w retson tor this that the refiners could not satisty the railroads, To the question whether, if the refiners should ship ay much as the Standard Oi Company, they would be allowed the samo rates, Mr. Cassatt answered, No; that there wust be discriminasion in favor of the Standard Vil Company. Mr. Bush said to prove | that discrimination exists one had only to examine the evidence given at Titustow the care of the Commonwealth of Pennsyivania against the Veunsyvenia Railroad and others, Mr. Mush said | Mr. that after the Cassatte tho tluers secured ai interview with auttonee with Thomas H, Seott, and that yontleman infor them flatly that they colt not li jane rates evun it thay shipped as uch ax the Standard Oil Company to Now York Mr. Bush cited, as another proot of diseriminatio the that the vet time toe My, told th tract with ane quivuy all their cars. nseqnence ot this discrimination, out of fitt vs at Pittsburg rly all bad been absurbe: crushed outor bought out by the Standard monopoly in New York there remained only five refiners. is considered that the committee will advocste the paseage of the Reagan bill with the ninth section stricken ont.

TSE MILLIONNAIRE DIES INTESTATE AND j LE¥AVES NOT A CENT'S WORTH oY PROPERTY--- HIS HEIKS COMPLACENT-—A SHREWD DEVICE, Many readers of the Hrnatn will no doubt be sur- prised to learn that the millionnaire merchant, Mr. ‘Tuomas Lord, who died a tew days ago, left no will, and their nurprise will be redoubled at learning that he had no property to leave to his numerous chil- dren or io his wife. Tho fact of the matter is that long before bis death Mr. Lord deeded all his property to two gentlemen, to hold in trust. It having been rumored that there would be a meeting of the heirs yesterday to make a definite ar- rangement regarding the ultimate settlement of the estate, 9 HenaLp reporter called upon the trustees, | Messrs, Henry Day and Clarence A. Seward. ‘The former was found at the office of Lord, Day & Lord, | who condueted the legal proceedings on the part of Mr. Lord’s heirs at the time of his marrige. Mr. Day stated that no will had been made by the deceased, He lad been in almost constant consulta- tion with the heirs since Mr. Lord’s death, and the property would be distributed in accordance with | the provisions of the trust deed, These provisions he could not at present make public, but he could state that Mrs. Lord had been provided for, The dved, he said, had been recorded. | A visit to the office of Mr, Seward was next made. That gentleman had sailed for Europo on the pre vious ay, but had left * power of attorney with Mr. C. M. Dacosta so that the latter might act tor him in the matter. AN ANTE-MORTEM DISTRIBUTION, Mr. Da Costa shook his head ana smiled very affably when the reporter asked about the meeting of the heirs. “If there has been such a meeting,” said he, “it must have been ‘y informal, to say the least, for it is not likely that one would be held with- out both sides being represented. ‘Che property was all distributed about a year ago, ut the time of the Yunacy proceedings. The tryst deed merely made a distribution before the owner died.” “How was tis property distr.bated ?”” “Some of the rents of the property wero paid to Mr. Lord and the remainder to the children, m vari- That document also provided to whom the rent which Mr. Lord received during his life should be paid after his decease. “Did that event ous of the deed 1 * “Only as to the distribution of the rental Mr, Lord was receiving during lis hifetime.’” w, Mr. Da Costa, can you inform the public +what were the terms of the settlement ?”” Mr. Da Costa (xmiling)—Those terms cannot’ yet be made public. Lhe whole matter is very simple. No willcould be made, ‘The deed is so plaiu that he who ins may read. “If Tran may I read?”* queried the reporter. “Well, hardly,” answered Mr. Da Costa, smiling again as the interviewer toox his leave. In the Register’s office, under the date of February 8, were found the names of ‘Thomas aud Annetts Lord, with the number of the volume and Rage recording the interesting document. . The eed contained a complete description of the property ‘in question. As to the terms of the distribution, it was agreed, on the part of Mrs. Loi that all rights of dower should be relinquisu ‘ali remainders and reversions of rights presen prapectnn legal or equitable, to Mr. and Mrs. ord.” The deed next cogvesed, “to have and to shold the hereinbefore granted and described prem- ises to the suid parties of the second part— Messrs. Day and Seward—their heirs and assigns ake any difference in the pro- and their successors in the trust upon the following terms, limitations and conditions—to wit, to lease ‘the said property for h terms not exceeding five years, at such rents and | with euch covenants as the two parties of the second part #huil think advisable.” ‘They were empowered to sell tho whole or any part of the property or to mortgage it. All this, however, was not to conflict with the limitations in an instrmment bearing the came date as the deed executed between Thomas Lord | and his wife, parties of the first part, and Henry Day, Clarence A. seward and Thomas Lord, Jr.; Henry Lord, Charles Lord, Frank H. Lord aud Surah Lord. . Here tho investigation was blocked, All search | after the “instrument” spoken of proved in vain, It | had not been placed on record. Tho shrewdness of | Mr. Lord at once ‘became apparent. The separate | document containing the metuod of the distribution ited by law to be recorded. It is usnal in such | to state all the conditions, but the old gentle- 80 arranged this as to conceal the terms of | the disposition of his property after his death nntil | Tis heirs choose to reveal it. Until that time, there- | fore, the question will remain a fruitful subject of speculation. : ———--+ 2 MARRI AGES AND DEATHS, fold La SEEN ENGAGED. ae Mexsr—Gorri“n.—ADOLY MEYER to CArOLINE | Gorriren, both of this city, No cards.
