GRACE RAMSEY Testimony bearing on the sanity of the late Mrs. Grace Ramsey of Brook- Iyn, N. Y., was offered in the superior court at New London, Wednesday and Thursday in the continued trial of the case of Ramsey vs. Davidson. The plaintiff, Thomas H. Ramsey, seeks to have the court order a deed set aside which a few days prior to Mrs. Ramsey’s death was executed by her in favor of Richard C. Davidson New London, Ellen F. Davidson of ew York and Mrs. Emma Oeser of Lawrence, Mass., conveving to them property in New London formerly used as a shipyard by the late James Da- vidson. The plaintiffs claim undue influence and assert that Mrs. Ramsey was not of sound and disposing mind. The deed was ex ted June 17, 1917, and she died on June 2ist, the same year. November 20, 1918, the husband, Mr. Ramsey, was appointed adminis- trator of the estate by Judge A. B. Calkins of the New London probate court. It is alleged that Thomas B. Ram- Jr. and Eilen D. Ramsey. chil- of the testator. are now of age and are entitled to the estate under the will. which_involves property inj New York and New London. { On Wednesday the plainiiff's side| of the case was presented. Ellen D. Ram the daughter was called to testi to the treat ment accorded her by hoth her| mother and father. She said that | they both treated her well, and treat- | ed her hrothbr well. She was asked how her father treated her mother, | and she burst out crying. She was ex- ! cused from further testimony. Thomas H.

He that there was trouble between father and mother, but he didnt’| know just what it was about. He was aren tes- 1 10 years old at that time, and he testi- | fied that his aunt (Mrs. Emma Oeser) | demanded at that time, when it was| contemplated obtaining a separation | for his mother, that he was to swear in court that his father was drunk! and that he saw him strike his mother. or they would put him ir jail.

Licensed by the state to practice their _profession, they are allowed the broad discretion which is needed in all matters re- quiring the exercise of individual judgment and initiative. In return for the special privileges granted them, the state imposes on physicians certain routine duties, the most im- portant of which is the reporting of communicable discazes, says Dr. T. E.
