Papers were submitted to Justice Freedman tn the Supreme Court to-day in the application of Mrs. Margaret Pinnt for the removal trom the equity to the (ria) part of the court of her suit contesting the will of her late hus- band, Henry Bradley Plant, the mill- jonaire ratiroad and steamship owner. Mrs. Plant wishes the case to be tried before a jury. Henry Bradley Plant died in this city on June 23 at OM Fifth avenue, leaving an estate valued at more than $10,080,009 To Mrs. Plant was bequeathed the in- me of . Her dower right in the roperty would be at least $8,960,000. The bulk of the estaje goes to the son | ;of the son of Mortimer F.

John Fox, of the Bible So- clety, offered as a substitute that the y take no action until afier the General Aesembly bad passed upon the merits of the case. Charges of heresy were made against Dr. MeGiffert in connection with his book, “A History of Christianity in the Apostolic Age’ Dr. G. W. F. Birch, Stated Clerk of the Presbytery, was his accuser. The Presbytery dectined to consider the charges and Dr. Bireh ap- pealed against the Presbytery to the General Assembly. In his letter of resignation Dr. Me- GAffert said: “In making this request I desire to say that I do not withdraw because I regard the charges of heresy pre- ferred agninst me as well founded, nor because 1 recognize the Justice of the accusations that have been made | imany quarters, for I still believ 1 believe when I wrote to the Ge Assembly last Spring. that my are in harmony with the faith «!
