C. MACPHERSON FURRIER ' INCIDENTS BY THE WAY —_— e Of a recent evening a social set were having an agreeable chat when one of the persons present said: “My physician tells me that pneu- monia is an old folks' disease, a nat- ural and merciful way of taking the aged to their reward, as they suffer little pain. ‘“Mattie,” said an aged man pres- ent, to his wife, “Let's catch it and go?” “Not I,” said his devout and devoted spouse, “Norwich is good enough for me!” “Then it seems to me,” said he, “I would cut out that every _Sunday morning seng, ‘1 Want to be With Je- sus’ for a le regularly sung is just as bad as a le stuck to. A progressive teacher of a school in a nearby village gave her pupils a little talk on Lincoln's day upon the upright character of the country’s saviour, and to promote the Interests of morality she remarked: “Lincoln, children, naver told a lie. He was in this like Washington.” A bright little pupil upon this raised her hand #nd began to wiggle her fin- gers to attract attention. She, notic- ing _her, s: “Well, Eliza, what is it?" Eliza rose to her feet and eyeing the teacher earnestly said: “Please, ma’am, the Bible savs: ‘All men are liars.’ I've heard my ma say this lots of times.” The teacher after slight confusion said: “The Bible says: ‘The Psalmist said in his haste ‘all men are liars’ If he had taken a moment to have thought he would not have said it.” FOR THE LADIES NIGHT ROBES $1.00, in flesh color and white, reg- ular value $1.25 and $1.50 ENVELOPE CHEMISE, value $1.50 value $1.50 and $2.00 $1.50 and $1.98 $1.00, value $1.28 Dollar Day at.

Butler Tendered Banquet and Presented Handsome Gift by Mailmen—Will of Charles Dennison Chapman, a Peculiar Document, Probated—John W. Hungerford, Hadlyme, Leaves Estate to Adopted Daughter—Public Bequests in Harriet E. Crandall’s Will. A regular session of the Westerly probate court, Judge Edward M. Burke, presiding, was held Tuesday afternoon, when the will of Charles Denison Chapman was admitted to probate. Mr. Chapman’s will is in a way, a peculiar document, inasmuch that the document is of no lega! ac- count with the exception of the nomin- atlon of the executor. With this ex- ception the estate would be distributed by law just as Mr. Chapman directs in his will. After the introductory clause stating that he was of sound mind, etc., the will reads as follows: First: I hereby order and direct that all my just debts, and funeral expens- es, be paid out of any portion of my property and estate which may be found most avallable for the purpose within a reasonable time after my de- cease. Second: Subject to the foregoing provision of my will, I give, devise and bequeath all my property and estate, both real and personal, and wherever situated, to my next of kin and heirs- at-law, to be divided and distributed among them in the same proportions and shares provided for the descent and disposition of interstate estates of deceased persons under the laws of Rhode Island. Lastl: I hereby nominate, consti- tute and appoint Nathan B. Lewis sole executor of this, my last will and testament, and revoking all other and former wills by me made, and.I do es- tablish this only as my last will and testament. The will was executed December 9, 1913, and was witnessed by Nathan B. Lewis and Bertha M. Brown. Mr. Chapman died January 26, 1916. Under the law one-half of the per- sonal estate goes to the widow, Ellen M. Chapman, who also has one-third# life interest in the real estate. The halance goes to the heirs-at-law of 'whom there is quite a number of cousins. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman have lived apart for several years, and, per- haps, for that reason her name is not given in the will, and the document was drawn to provide for an executor, her than for disposition of the prop- ¢ of the deceased. Judge Lewis was executor of the estates of Mr. Chap- man’s father and mother, and he is therefore familiar with the property conditions. He was confirmed as executor, bond being fixed at $25,000, by Judse Burke. Former Governor James H. Higgins, of the Jaw firm of Fitzzerald and Hig- zins, Pawtucket, was at the court ses- sion as counsel for Mrs. Chapman, In response to queries by the ex-governor, Judge Lewis said that he did not know the value of the personal estate but should say it would amount to perhaps 000, and perhaps more. He said that $1025 was found in the Chapman saloon and at his home and that there Wwas a $1000 bank note in the safety deposit box at the Washington Trust company. Later it was learned. that Mr. Chapman had $9000 on deposit in that institution. He understood that $20,000 was received from the sale of the Canal street property to the Crandall brothers and added that Mr. Chapman had been spending money freely since then until he diéd. Be- fore the execution of the will Mr. Chapman made no mention of any special relatives. and his heirs-at-law (besides his wife), are an uncle and an aunt on his mother’s side and quite a number of ccusins. Mr. Chapman never said who those relatives were and never expressed any like or dis- like for any of them. The present will was intended as a temporary will, and another was to have been substituted for it. Judge Lewis said that the present will is the only one he.ever prepared for Mr. Chapman. ~ When this will was exe- cuted Mr. Chapman owned considerable real estate, but had since sold the Canal street property to the Cran- dall brothers. Upon farther inquiry by ex-Gox- ernor Higgins, Judge Lewis said that Mr. Chapman owned real estate in Pawcatucl, valued at perhaps $5000: and at the time of his death owned the Chapman place in High street, in Westerly, valued at $16,000.. He also owned a farm, with dwelling, and granite quarry property, but the judge had no knowledge of the valuation. So far as he knew, but he had not as yet made personal investigation. The per- sonal rroperty consisted of the saloon and contents, about $2,025 in cash, the household furniture and two automo- biles, all perhaps valued at $15,000. l\:io stocks or bonds have been locat- ed. Judge Lewis asked for the appoint- ment of Eugene B. Pendleton, Everett A. Kinggley and John E. Tdmond as appraisers.” Ex-Governor _ Higgins suggested that the widow be repre- sented on the board of appraisers, and asked for the appointment of Joseph T. Murphy as one of the appraisers. After some little discussion, Mr. Mur- hy Wwas substituted for Mr. Edmond. Ex-Governor Higgins flled with the court an application for an allowance for the widow from the estate. The will of John W. Hungerford. of Hadlyme, who died in Westerly, Feb- ruary 6, 1916, was admitted to pro- bate, on_approval of a walver of no- tice by Nellie E. Hungerford Rhndall, adopted daughter of the deceased, and the only person in interest. After the payment of debts, the rest and res- idue of the estate is given to Mrs. Randall. As Mr. Hungerford had dis- posed of most of his estate during his lifetime, but little property remained, and the bond of Mrs. Randall, as exe- cutrix was fixed at $1000. Attorney Samuel H. Davis was appointed ap- praiser. The will was executed in Hadlyme, Conn., February 12, 1914, and witnessed by Mary Warner Brown, Emma Rolfe and Samuel H. Davis. Miss Harriet E. Crandall, who d in Westerly in January, left a will which was admitted to probate, and Wwhich contained several bequests: Ta Frank W. Coy, $300; Nellie Burdick Grant, $500; John R. Burdick, $500; William A." Burdick, $500; Adelaide Burdick, $500; to Wood River Cenfe- tery association, $500; to Wood River Cemetery association, for perpetual care of Emma Crandall lot, $500; to the town of Charlestown, $500 for perpetual care of the burial lot on the farm of Oliver Crandall; to Rich- mond Cemetery association, $500 for the care of the Crandall lot; to First Baptist church in Westerly, $1000, for relief of poor of the church; to First Baptist church, $1000, the interests for foreign missions; to First Baptist church, $1000, the interest for home missions; to First Baptist church, $1000, the interest to be applled to general church expenses.

The rest and residue of the te goes to the corporation of the t ptist church, Westerly, the interest to be applied for the care of the poor of the church, and for home and forgégn missionary work. If the estate should not warrant the payment of thtse be- Qquests, they are to be given priority in _the order named. The will was executed in 1910. The Washington Trust company was con- firmed as and bond was fixed at $25,000. The appraisers are Thomas P. Nichols, Everett Barnes and Ed B, Coy. Everett Cottrell was appointed administrator of the estate of Alber- tus C. Cottrell. Bond $1500, Oliver C._Crandsll, appraiser. The first and final account of Charles D. Wilcox, administrator of the estate of Albert R. Wilcox, was approved for record. Barbara Francls, widow of John T. Francis, who died recently in Wa- terbury, petitioned for appointment o guardian of the estate of her minor daughter, Jemina Francis. Continued with order of notice. The inventory of the estate of Abby L. Champlin was rfeceived and ordered recorded. The twenty-six employes of the Westerly post office gave a farewell quet to Charles J. Butler, the re- tiring postmaster, at Segar’s Spa, on Tuesday night, when the new post- master, John A. Farrell, was the spe- cial guest. John Allen, the oldest em- ploye of the local office, and one of the first appointed letter carriers, stated before chairs were taken that the object of the gathering of malil- men was to bid farewell to Postmaster Butler and to welcome his successor. At the conclusion of the feast, Mr. Al- len, who served as toastmaster, pre- sented Mr, Butler, in behalf of his associates, a superb Westminster chimes clock in solid mahogany case, as a token of their esteem for their retiring chief. Mr. Butler made a response in cor- dial appreciation of the gift and re- ferred to the good work accomplished by all connected with the office, and he knew their loyvalty and support would be given to his successor. Short talks were made by Postmaster Far- rell, Assistant Postmaster Thomas F. Lenihan and several others. Local Laconics. James W.

Watch Hill Gay Deceiver Trie: Shake Off Judgment for $10,119., Mandeville de Martigny Hall, known for his escapades at Watch Hill who says he is a descendant of the Marquise de Martigny and the Duc de Vallambrosa, and who has been in prison various times for offenses com- mitted under different aliases, asked Justice Cohalan, in New York Mon- day, through his counsel, to vacate an order of arrest issued against him at the instance of Miss Florence G. Finch. The plaintiff is the daughter of the late President of the Finch Manufacturing company of Scranton, Penn., and a prominent member of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution. Jn her complaint against Hall Miss Finch said that she was the owner of 190 shares of the Finch Manufacturing company, that were worth $100 at par and which paid dividends ranging from 6 per cent. to 1 per cent. This stock was given to Wesley M. Gard- ner as collateral for a loan of $9,500, which was made by the Traders' Na- tional Bank of Scranton. Later, she staid, she gave Hall the money to pay the loan and take up the stock, but that he sold the stock for $12,350 and gave her only $500. Miss Finch sued Hall, and got a judgment against him last December to for $10,112. The judgment was re- turfied = unsatisfied. Lemuel Ely Quigs, who appeared in court for Hall Monday, said that Hall was in Cali- fornia when the suit was tried He appeared later, and was sent to Lud- low Street jaid in default of $9,000 bail. Justice Weeks reduced the bail to $3,000, which was furnished, and Hall was let go. Charles S. Blandy, counsel for Miss Finch, said that he had applied to Hall's mother, Mrs. Susette T. Hall, the widow of Wil- llam C. Hall, but she refused to pay the judgment. = R. AGNEW, M. D. ician and Surgeon Room 214 Thayer Building Norwich, Conn.
