PAGE WILL CASE ' HEARING RESUMED TUESDAY Bank Officials and ~ Others Testify That Mrs. Page Appeared of Sound. Mind and Capable of Transacting Business. > In the superior court in this city on Tuesday mmnmzfi?eue will case was resumed and Mary Day who was ‘on the stand at the close of last week's hearing, was again called to testify. Cross examination of Miss Day was at once begun. - Miss ‘Day stated that she.had never told anyone that she had been dis- charged bysMrs. Page or that the lat- ter was a crazy wpman, because the witness always thought that Mrs. Page was an intelligent woman. She had noticed Mrs. Page sign her name as she had taught the woman to write. She had noticed that her writing and the writing of Mrs. Page was similar. Mrs. Page wrote a letter to her hus- band dufing the summer of either 1911 or 1913 while she was at the beach. It ‘was not necessary to hold the hand of Mrs. Page at this time. Fell Out of Bed. Witness, told-of the times that her employer-told of her ‘first marriage and of the time she fell out of bed and hurt her hand. Mfs$ Day did not re- member calling in the doctor to help her in_getting Mrs. Page back in bed. The witness said that she had given the pills® which the doctor left, about once a month, to Mrs. Page every three or four hours and that she thought that these were fo the nerves. Mrs. Page was left alone on different occa- sions sometimes for a period of nearly three hours at a time. She was never left alone without her consent in the matter. A Religious Woman. The witness considered Mrs. Page a religious woman, who only stayed home" from church because she was physically unable to attend. Mrs. Page had forbid the witness to go to church, but only because she was needeg at the house. Never Read Will to Sisters. & Miss Day denied that she ever call- ed up T. J. Kelley to come to the house but she had written to him at the re- quest of Mrs. Page and she had seen him at the house on a number of oe- casions. The witness knew that a new will was to be made, as Mrs. Page had promised to remember her ip the new docnment. She could not refem- ber if the sisters came to the house before the death of Mr. Page, but that they did come to the house after that. Sister Tharsilla was alway present on these occasions and Mrs. Page's condition was always so that she could be seen by the sisters when they came to the house. She remembered read- ing the will to Mrs. Page but denied ever reading it to the sisters or rev- erend mother. * " Knew of Bequest. . The day that Mr. Kellby came to the house went to Willimantic and passed him on th t she could not remember w he was go- | ing when she passed him. She did not remember swrif or telephoning him hortly. before this time. The witness admitted that had noticed that sife Mrs. Jagds mind was failing three or four evecks before sbe died. At no time did she state that she had earn- cd all that she would 'get in the will, but she admitted that she knew tha he was to get $4,600 by the Day stated that she did not purchase | more than a quart of whiskey at the nn at any one time.

Tingley of Windham took the stand and told of going to the Page home in 1915. and. painting the barn, house and water tank. He told |of talking over the work with Mrs. Page and of the o m that she made while he was there. On present- ing the bill Mrs. Page 1d him that she did not have her gl#®ses with her but she told Mary Day to get the mon- ey and pay him. He considered her a woman of sound mind. As he was for- merly an usher in St. Joseph’'s church he told Of the times he had seen Mrt Page at the church. She never ap- peared to walk lame to the witness. On cross examination the witness admitted that he now had®a daughter in training in St. Joseph’s hospital and that Mrs. Page had never had a seat in the church. Treasurer Webster Testifies. Noah D. Webster, treasurer of a lo- cal bank with which® Mrs. Page did business, testified to giving $1,600 to a man that had been introduced to him by Mrs. Page as her brother. He could not remember whether Mrs. Page had told him the amount to give the man cr not but he did this on a verbal order and did not get a receipt in return for the money. He could not remember why the $1,600 had been aid to her brother. Evidence of Dr. Dowe. Dr. Bert K.

The wit- ness tola of his conversation With Mrs. Page in regard to the Kkilling of her horse; this she wanted done so that she would not know about it in any- way. For killing the horse the witness was paid by some woman whom I did not know. He saw, Mrs. Page after her infury and talked to her about it. She called him onto the veranda one day and asked bim what he thought of the in- jury and if he could prescribe any- thing for it. He never saw her under. the influence of liquor and he always thought that she was a woman of sound mind. On cross examination he admitted that he never talked to any lensth with the woman and that le was re quested to come to the house. At the time he talked to her on the varanda she seemed to be feeble and cried a great deal. Mrs. Page knew that he ‘was a hotse doctor but she insisted on showing him her injured knee to see what he thought of it. Before his death Mr. Page always did the busi- ness and after the death of Mr. Page, Tred Chamberlain attended to thesc matters. He got his orders from the latter. Mail Driver on Stand, Jared Fuller, driver of the mail wag- on between this city and Scotland, was the next to testify. He told of doing errands for Mrs. Page, who al- vays asked him if he had received his pay when he arrived at the house. He saw Mrs. Page a great deal but he did not talk to her very much. He was sure that she was a woman of sound mind. On - ero examination fhe witness stated that he never had much of a conversation with the woman and that he, got his orders from whoever was He seldom saw Mrs. Page in the win- ter but when he did see her she al- ways asked him about his pay. Mrs Page had paid him on some occasions but just when he could not remember. He had been asked to bring liquor to | the house once, but this he refused to do. He mever saw Mrs. Page under the, influence of liquor or drink any ligrior while he was them Cashier Lathrop’s Testimony. H. Clinton_ Lathrop, administrator 1o Charle$ Page estate and cash- | or of a-local bank, was thé next call- 21 to take the stand. He said that he thad known Mrs. Page for nearly t years and that he lived a quar- ter of a mile from the Page home. Te told of the time that Mr. Page had had the money left to him and of ad- vising him on transactions. After the witness was appointed administrator of the will he went to the Page home very frequently and saw Mrs. Page and the nurse. On these visits he would talk to her of current events and she would talk of her former marriage, manifesting interest in everything she discussed, Mr. Yath- rop told of the $2,400 allowance that belonged to Mrs. Page and of selling some of her land, as she needed the money at the time. All of the checks made out to her were endorsed by her at the bank, stated the witness. She was never under the influence of li- quor any of the times the witness had seen her. The kst time he saw her was the night the bill of sale was signed by Mrs. Page, at which time the woman was very sick. There were five people present at this time, two sisters, Dr. Guild, Mary Day and him- self. Mrs. Page sesmed to recognize the witness and she said_that she knew what she was doing. He did not influence her in any way to giving the things she did. Check Not Endorsed. On cross examination the witness stated that he, Dr. Guild and Mr. King were interested I the hospital at the present time. Mr. King is a_director of the bank in which the witness is employed. He had jeard that Mrs. Page was a heavy drinker, but he never saw her under the influence of liguor. Attorney Walsh then produced a check made out to Mrs. Page on the bank in which the witness is employed and this check was not endorsed. When asked about this check, witness said that it must have been an oversight. He admitted that it was a pretty grave oversight. He admitted trying to re strain Mrs. Page from getting mone: he being afraid that she would over- draw her allowance. He never took a receipt from the woman for all or any of the money which he had siven her. The witness had never seen the woman go to church at any time. He thought that shé was capable of hand- ling her own affairs and he did not remember why he had been appointed administrator of the estate when she resigne The witness aid hot seem to remem- ber much about the more important things and conversations connected with the estate while he fvas being cided at this meeting that there would be a meeting next Tuesday evening, at which time the local order will re- ceive a name and officers be chosen. ‘The installation of these officers will be held at _some future date not yet planned.

Necessary to Restrain British Trade. “In the face of enemy activities of this pature it was essential for His Majesty’s government to take steps that, should at least deprive interests 50 strongly hostile of the facilities and advantages of unrestricted trading with British subjects. The public opinion of this country would not have toler- ated the prolongation of the war by the continued liberty or British sub- Jects to trade with and so enrich the firms in forelgn countries Whose wealth and influence were alike at the service of the ememy.” No Interference With Neutral Trade. The note is based largely on the argument that there is no assumption by Great Britain of power to inter- and one which in justice to the prin- ciples for which they are fighting m- poses upon them the duty of employ- ing every opp/rtunity and every meas- ure which they can legitimately use to Povercome their opponenrs.

Amer- ican trade in particular but a part of “general belligerent operations design- ed to weaken the enemy’s resourcs.” Anewering the American contention that there is serious danger to neutral commerce generally in the British ability to extend the list * where it seems expedient, the note says that this is true, but that the .American government may rest assiared that “this system of prohibition will not be carried further than is absolutely necessary.” v Action Forced Upon Great Britain “It has been forced upon us,” con- ‘inued the note, “by the circumstances of the present war. To extend it be- yond what is required in order to se- cure its immediate purpose—the wex ening of the resources of our ojpon- ents—or to allow it to interfere with what is really the genuine neutral trade of a country with which we de- sire to have the closest commorcial intercourse, would be contrary to British interests. The advantage de- rived from a commercial transaction between a British subject and a for- eigner is mutual” Not to Foster British Trad Viscount Grey says apparently there are persons in the United States al- | most impossible to convince that Great Britain is taking measures against its shemies and not merely to foster its own trade at the expense of neutrals. He denies his government “have such unworthy objects, in view” asserting that in all cases his government has done everything possible to cause as little dislocation of neutral commrerce as possible. Admits Change of Position. The note apparently admits that, Britain has altered the position previ- ously held with the United States that domicilied far from home may render great aid and comfort, admitting that these are sought to be reached by the blacklist measure. Why Use of Coal is Prohibited. Referring to exciusion from ships using British eoal in earrying gcods belonging to blacklisted firms, the note argues that there can be no legal ob- jection to such a refusal which is merely denying the use of British coal to age of goods to persons active- Great Britain's enemies.. to the destruction of tonnage nes and says that factor entered into the coal supply should certain th would In its own self interests, the note asserts: Cites Civil War Case. “His Majesty's government, there- fore, take this opportunity to declare that they are not unmindful of the obligaions of those who possess sea power nor of that_traditional _policy pursued by the Briitsh empire by which such power has been regarded as a trust and has been exereised in the interests of freedom. They require no representations to recall such consid- erations to mind, but they cannot ad- mit that in the circumstances or the times their present use of thelr ccal resources, a_use which only differs in extent from that exercised by the United States in the Civil War in the case of vessels proceeding to such ports as Nassau, is obnoxious to their duties or. their voluntary professions.” Attention is called to instructfons to British merchants issued by Lord Rus- ' sell in 1862, regarding trade with tho Bahamas, advising that the ‘“true remedy” was to refrain from this trade. | Disavows Designs on Neutral Rights! “His Majesty’s government do not ask the ' government of the United States to take any such action as this,” the note concludes. “But they cannot believe that the United States gov- ernment will question their right to lay upon British merchants in the interests of the safety of the British empire, for which they are responsible, the same prohibitions as Lord Russell issued the interests and feeling of a foreign fifty years ago out of considefation for nation. Suspicions and insinuations which would construe so simply an action as an opening for gecret and un- svowed designs on neutral ts should have no place in the s between two friendly countries. “I trust that the explanations eon- tained in this note will destroy such suspiciens and correct the erroneous views which prevail in the United~ States on_the subject.” i Hartford—James _J..
