R e Before Judge Edward M. Burke in the Westerly probate court Tuesday came the petition of Mary Stark Crafts, asking for an allowance from the estate for six months from the date of the death of her husband, At- torney Albert B. Crafts. Alexander <. Thompson, of the Mechanics bank, ted that he had received a commu- tion from the bank's attorneys, - Pirce and Thornley, in Prov- dence, requesting a postponement of action on the petition to Anugusi 6. stating that Mrs. Crafts was in and that her attorney, Mi- Lynch, of Providence (who taken the place of her former 1, Frank W.

He rec- ommended that her deposition be taken, James yLawton, who represented some of the heirs opposed, stating that from information that came to him, the witness is physically able, at times, to come to court in Westerly He said she could stand the journe better than the estate could stand the expense of a deposition. The matter was continued to Aug. 6. The inventories of these estates were received and ordered recorded: Rose T, Burdick, $1304.15; George C. Bur- dick, $1304.15; George F. Sheffield, $10,- §00.78. The petition of the widow of Chas. D. Chanman, for dower rights, was continued-to Aug. 6. The new system of the selection of jurors by a state jury commissioner, it a big salary, with a corps of well- paid assistants, in the opinion of at least one official of the town of West- erly, is not as good as the old method of selection by the tewn councils of the state, when each person was known to the council that passed up- on availability for jury duty before se- lection. This was done at no expense to the town or state. Under the pres- ent system the names are probably salected at random, if the jurors se- lected to serve from Westerly is a fair sample, as in the list are the names of several persons who have moved away, and others who are not eligi- ble, under the iaw. For instance: John W. Sweeney, a judge of the superior court: D. Frank- lin Stillman, who is 82 J. P. Clark, who is over over ¢, a non-resident ani incapacitated for v Benjamin H.
