The case deen dragging along in ‘ourt of the district since when Dr. Hurd brought suit against Mrs, Cramer. Fenton J. Hurd, who died last January, had at that time been declared incompetent to handie his own affairs and Dr, Hurd had beem appointed by the Connecticut coutts conservator of his estate.
