“4 DR. S. P. TRUEX DIES SUDDENLY 4 Physician Is Stricken with Heart Disease When Attending’ a Case in the Bushwick Central Hospital. SUFFERED MUCH PAIN BEFORE THE END CAME. Victim Directed the Work of the Doctors, Who Tried to Save Him—His Active and Useful Career. Dr. Stephen P. Truex, a well known Fynecologist and lecturer on obstetrics, died suddenly to-day while attending a case in the Bushwick Central Hospital, Brooklyn. He was stricken with heart disease, and after a few minutes of suffering died. At 1 o'clock this morning Dr, Truex received a telephone message at his home, No. 257A Madison street, calling him to the hospital at once. He re- sponded, ind as soon as he arrived began his professional duties. In passing from one room to another he grew faint and would have *fallen had not one of the nurses in attendance caught him. The physician was then dragged to a bed, where he lay suffering intensely, For several minutes Drs, Brown and Harrison worked over him, sometimes at his own direction. All their minis- trations were unavailing and the strick- en man died, conscious to the last. Dr. Truex was the visiting gynecol- ogist of the Bushwick Central Hospital. He was also the lecturer on gynecology and obstetrics at the Post Graduate, Manhattan, In his profession he was well known as a practitioner of great success. He made a specialty of wom- fan's diseases and was often called in consultation in difficult cases where im- BRYAN DEFEATED IN WILL CONTEST Court Refuses to Admit Sealed Letter as Part of Berinett Testament by Which Nebras- kan Was to Inherit $50,000. THREE WITNESSES SHOULD HAVE SIGNED THE PAPER. Plaintiff Again Placed on the Stand in Effort to Get Record for Further Appeal but was Overruled. NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 31.— William J, Bryan has been defeated in the Bennett will case. mediate operations or gpecialistic knowl- edge was required. Dr. Truex was forty-eight years old and was born in Owego. He was a graduate of the Long Island College Hospital. Besides being the consulting physician for several insurance companies he was @ member of the Brooklyn Medical go- elety, the Brooklyn Pathological Society and the New York Academy of Med- folne. For several years Dr. Truex was a much overworked man. He devoted himself assiduously to the practice of his profeassion and his professorial work in the colleges. Called up at all hours of the night his health gave way and his strength, never, too posi- tive, failed him, His heart’ weakness was thus intensified and during the last few weeks the man suffered greatly, ‘Thies days ago he was attacked’ by grip. Hig friends advised him to quit work and take a rest from his arduous duties, But he stuck to his post, saying that as soon as he could he would take A vacation and bulld up his Waning strength. Dr, Truex leaves a widow and two children. ea ES $5,000 FOR LOSS OF FOOT. Verdict Against Street Ratlway for Accident Four Yéars Ago. A jury in the Supreme Court has awarded Thomas J. Cunningham, sta- tion agent at Milton, Conn, a verdict for $5,000 damages against the Metro- litan Street Ruilway Company for the loss of his right foot. The accident occurred nearly years ago. four special sale at $2, in grays, brown: and blue serge! man from age of thing your boy needs for Easter is hei Smartly cut in the new single breasted models as shown in cut, with all the life and dash the young Hats, Shoes, Neckwear, Shirts—every- Judge Gager to-day ruled against him and excluded the sealed letter in which he was bequeathed $50,000 by the testator. The Judge decides that, under Con- necticut law, the sealed letter ts in- valid. ‘This deprives Mr. Bryan of any standing in court in the present case and will prevent his securing any part of the $50,000 bequest, The decision rejecting as evidence the “sealed letter’ was given to-day by Judge Gager in the Superior Court when the hearing on Mr. Bryan's appeal from the decision of the Probate Court de- clining to admit the “seajed letter” to probate was resumed. The ruling followed arguinents which have occupied nearly all the two pre- vious days of the trial in regard to the admissibility of the famous letter as evidence. Counsel for Mr. Bryan sought to have this letter, which was entered on: the record as “exhibit B, for identifica- tion,” admitted as evidence, and coun- sel for Mrs. Bennett and other heirs fought strenuously against it. In giving his dectalon Judge Gager said that the letter was despositive in character and therefore came within the statue governing wills, which demands that every paper that is codicil or tes- tamentary must be attested by three witnesses. Although there is no decison, no lawyer has been bold enough to risk a decision on presenting a paper that was not so attested. In the present case, the court holds that the admission of the sealed letter would override that statute. In this case, the court sald there was nothing descriptive in the will except this phrase, “The sealed letter which will be found with my will.” Therefore there 1s nothing whatever to {dentify exhibit B, the sealed letter, as that referred to in section 12 of the will, no ear-mark to show that this was the letter the testator had in mind when he prepared the will. Asks an Exception, Immediately after the decision was announced Attorney Newton, for Mr. Bryark asked for an exception to the ruling, Judge Stoddard, counsel for Mra, Benwett, suggested that the court give a ruling on all questions at once, as he thought it would be for the best inter- ests of the ‘litigants to get rulings on all points that cmild be ruled upon be- fare the case should 0 up to the Su- preme Court. Judge Gager sald when attorney Newton asked for «a specific ruling: “The ruling having been made and the sealed. letter having been excluded, am at a loss, on the reasons of the ap-| court to put a similar statement in wrt ing he said he would do so, but he has is open,’ not done it.
