VINE, PLEADS Jtallan, Mortally Wounded, Begs ' that Nothing Be Done to His Friend as He Lapses Into Uneonsclousness. + HAD KNOWN EACH OTHER IN THEIR NATIVE LAND. ‘Quarrel Started in Banter Over a Round of Drinks and Soon Resolved Itself Into a Life and Death Struggle. After a life-long friendship Agon- on Bosa and Joe Brecc!, who were boys together in sunny Italy, who came to ‘America together to seek their for tunes and who lived as neighbors in Hast One Hundred and Fourth street, engaged in a duel in Tony Terressi's esloon, at East One Hundred and Fourth etreet, to-day, and Bosa is dying in the Garlem Hospital. His abdomen is cut from side to side and there is no hope for his recovery, the doctors say. Even as the priest administered the last sacraments Bosa defended his friend and sald that the wound was an accidental one. The last words he ut- tered before lapsing into unconsctous- ness from which he probably never will rally, were a plea ¢or Breccl. “You'll see that they don't do any- thing to Joe, won't you," he whispered to the priest, and then pressing the crucifix to his ips he became insen- sible. In the same village of Italy Bosa and Brecol played together when babies; in Doyhood they were fast friends and when early manhood came they were lured by the stories ‘that came back from friends in America, Double Wedding Here, The atruggle for fortune continued In New York and two years ago they were @bdle to end back for the sweethearts of thelf youth.

Got Merciless Scoring from Judge Stoddard, but Insisted that There Was More Politics than Law in Contest. NEW HAVBN, Conn., Oct. 27.—It was an hour after midnight to-day when William J, Bryan concluded his speech in his own defense after he had recelyed a meroiless scoring from Judge Stod- | dard, counsel for Mrs. Bennett In the | contost of the will of Philo 8. Bennett, who left $60,000 to Mr. Bryan, Judge Stod- dard called Bryan a lar and dented the inference in a letter Bryan had written to the widow in which he sald that Judge Stoddard, who tiad abandoned the free ellver cause to become a gold Dem- ocrat, had advised the widow to contest the will, and that Judge Stoddard was influenced to do so through political motives, The case was taken under ad- visement.’ In this letter Bryan told the widow that if the will wae not contested he would pay the income tax and that he would invest the money left to him In 3 per cent. Government bonds and would give her the income “if she needed it and if his family did not need it,”’ After reading the letter to Bryan Judge Stoddard became very angry in | questioning the distinguished witness, but Bryan remained cool and his as- sertions were deliberate. He reiterated that in the contest there was more politics than law. Protest to Court. In his protest to the Court to prevent from being probated Judge Stoddard said: “Wihat do you think of @ lawyer that draws a will for a friend and writes himself as heir and then states ‘that undue influence was not used? That lawyer is so lost to all sense of honor and delicacy that courts and juries are not content to accept his statement. ‘This sealed letter does not state Mr. Bennett's will. Mr. Bryan admits that Mrs. Bryan was permitted to draw i by Mr. Bennett, but why no man knows, It isnot trae ‘as expressed. It was not arranged at Lincoln, Neb., that the $0,000 should go to Mr. Bryan. ‘This suggestion in the sealed letter was a mere sham. The pretense that Mr, Bryan offers to the widow that he will not use this $25,000 left to his family ts sham. That ie left in trust, and the law would not permit him to give up this trugt, even If he wanted to. “What do you think of a solemn let- ter addressed to a wife in the shadow of death secreting the fact that $10,000 was going to another man's wife? It ‘s not strange that Mr. Bryan should think that possibly Mrs. Bennett might not dike the idea of Mrs. Bryan and her children being provided for when he did not make provision for his own. Calls Bryan a Liar. “What do you think of that letter in whioh he offered to pay the inheritance tax coming from this lar who drew this will? So this offer to this widow stand- ing in the shadow of her husband's death offers to pay the tnheritance tax. Well, what would he do and he getting the money. Take it out of his wife and children? In his desperation to gpt hold of this money for which he had not @ particle of equitable or legal right he wrote that letter. “Just think of a lawyer taking $50,000 out of a family and not anticipating a contest! Itisdncredible. When he found out at last that he was not going to got the money he made one more last de- spairing effort to influence the widow by writing to her. If I had not seen this letter myseét I never would have belleved that the would write such a thing. ‘In it he says: ‘From the conduct of your attorney I am satisfied that the lawyer 1s’ unfriendly to the political views of Mr. Bennett; that there is a Gold Democrat at work.’ What con- celvable right had this man inti- mate that any miserable pollticci con- troversy would prejudice me in advis- ing my client? What rule of decency did he follow to go behind my back and say such things to my client? ‘Where do you get any aathority,” shouted Judge Stoddard, turning to Mr, Bryan and shaking his hand in his face, “for any such allegation against my honesty? ‘That incident alone marks the morality of the man, and It shows the desperate ends he 1s driven to in his avarice to get this fortune.” ‘There was such a tumult in thojcourt room at this point that the Sheri to map for order. Bryan in Defense, In his defense Mr. Bryan said: "I am not surprised at the language this gentleman has used, nor the infer- ences he has sought to bring out from the facts. It was because I belleved him inspired by motives that do not in- spire reputable lawyers generally that I wrote as I did concerning this case to the widow of the best friend I ever has m not surprised that Judge Stod- dard Yails to comprehend such dialnter- ested devotion to a principle. The coun- sel seems to think it strange that this will was drawn in secre He seems to think that Mr. Bennett should have called a public meeting when he made his will, though that is not the way usually followed, “Mr, Stoddard knows, and knows that T know, that if the bequest had been made to me direct he would never have couns@ied a contest of this will. ‘tr uses language here to-night that the Court, I am eure, recognises as rankling dee; than the mere opposition of ‘law- yer.to lawyer. “If I had been @ fortune hunter, would had | |AGED SENATOR STEWART AND BRIDE HE MARRIED I have permitted these gifts of money to educate students in this country in the acience of free government? This is one provision that my friend here de- tests above all others. If I was inspired to get the money, would I have only intimated or even suggested to him the continuance of the plan I myself had started? Politics, Not Law, “From his conduct from the first I was convinced that there was more politics than law in it. The moment the will was questioned I knew I owed it to my good name to have all the evidence in connection with it brought before the public. “There 1s not one thought or word in the whole transaction that I .am ashemed to have named to the world. Iam not ashamed to have !t known thet I was Philo Bennett's friend and he mine. I was devoted to the principles as to which, when men of the Hast refuted them, he dared socia! and business os- o8- tracism to be my elector. “There 1s no power at command to prevent his disposing of his property as he willed. If he dared what he did for me may I not dare to endure the epl- thets which my friend here has cast upon me?” Bequests to Strangers. When the private bequests in the will of Mr, Bennett were published to- day ‘!t was found that he had remem- dered several persons who are com- parative strangers to his wife. ‘To Mra. Hattie E. Foster he willed $20,000. Mrs. Foster is the widow of the late Samuel Foster. She lived in the same board- ing-house with Mr. Bennett at No, 68 West One Hundred and Thirfleth street, New York.
