The Hearing Continued.
Pnovlnsacs. Ilse. l.-ln conclusion
of unnoticed developments in the sale-
bratsd King case the appellate division of
the supreme soon was crowded with lep-
rsssntativss cf the legal profession. The
case has been frau ht with intsrastnlncs
first it bananas that Ira. I. A.
Webster Ross had died an aiildavit. which
would undoubtedly be read. and that she
laid claim to King’s millions on the
ground of being next of kin.
lira. Ross was represented by Jars M.
Wilson, and the proceedings consisted
mainly in the reading of her affidavit and
the address to the court by her counsel.
Chief J ustlcs Charles Matteson sat upon
the hsnch as presiding justice, with two
associate justloss in attendance.
The anidavit is a long one and is an
elaborate history of the case. in it Mrs.-
Ross makes the announcement that the
original commitment papers have never
been discovered since first they were
placed on record. Among other papers
she discovered copies of a so called lunacy
commission filed at divers times and in
didarent places by so called guardians of
William H. King. each purporting to be
a true copy ct an order of commitment
by the late Charles '1‘. Bradley, chief juso
tics of the supreme court of Rhoda Is«
land. committing W. H. King to the Mc-
Lean insane asylum in Massachusetts on
July 3i, 1866. These three copies differ
from one another In certain Important
respects.
‘filluldrnly Vanished.
She states that she is in no way related
to the families of the late Edward or Dr.
David King of Newport. and that George
Gordon King is seeking to be made
guardian of William ll. King. claiming
to be next oi kin.
She states that William ll. King lsa
man of very large fortune. amounting to
more than “000,000. which he acquired
in his own right; that about July l, 1868,
the said William 'H. King was about to
be married in the city of Troy. N. Y.,
and that about the same time the mar.
riage was to have taken place Edward
King, Dr. David King and his wife want
to Troy and procured control and
slon of the person of William H. King,
and without authority of law removed him
to thsstate of Khodo Island and petition.
ed to secure his commitment to the Mc
Lean insane asylum in Massachusetts.
Continuing. she represents that W. ll.
King. from his first incarceration, has
been held under the guardianship of
George Gordon King. of Edward King
and of David King; that at the time of
the appointment of the first pretended
guardians W. ll. King. in addition to
other large property interests. was the
owner of a summer residence in Newport
valued at $75.00 or rind-000; that‘hls
legal residence was in the city and state
of New York; that George and David 00-
cnpisd the summer residence while W.
H. King was incarcerated; that they in‘
curred large expenditures. which were
paid for out of W. ll. King‘s estate, and
that valuable property was sold or dispos-
edof at less than its actual cost. She
also states that shcls informed and he
lieves that George Gordon King is not of
kin to W. ll. King, nor is any one of the
persons who petitioned for his appoint-
ment as guardian. that neither of the
guardians who have heretofore held that
relation of trust was related to him in
any manner whatsoever. and she says
that she is. as she believes, the only next
of kin to said W. ll. King.
Was Not Insane.
5110 states that when first incarcerated
W. ll. King was not insane; that thereto
fora he had managed his affairs with snc~
cells and annulled a large fortune: that he
was not dissipating or misusing his or
tats nor likely to bring himself to want;
that his present loss of memory. if any,
is due to the natural infirmity of age;
that his vision for 2:4 years had been con-
Ined to the small compass of the four
walls of his room. and if his mind is
somewhat narrowed it is but a natural
consequence and cannot be termed insan-
ity. and whatever other mental infirmi-
tlcs he may he now laboring under. it
any, are due to the fact of his long incar-
ceration in lunatic osylcms without som-
ponlonship or Olllfl‘ull of interest.
In conclusion sh" states that“ it of the
utmost importnnol that W. H. King he
represented by such guardian ad litem
or next friend as ishu herself shall 'nomi-
natq’ and that guardianship should be
conferred upon herself as next of kill or
some person who may he nominated by
herself. She therefm prays that the
letters of guardianship to George Gordon
King he rsvok and that a guardian of
her nomination appointed; that liacrgs
Gordon King and William 1'. Sheffield

for examination as witnesses.

Wll u said he hoped to be able to prove
that sorgs Gordon King was not next of
kin. but that Mrs. Ross was.
When asked if he would disclose Mrs.
Rcss’ identity, has counsel replied that
on his local honor the casswcnld
be prejudiced if her identity wars discloe
ed at the present time.
The court then stated that it would not
allow Mrs. lines to become a party to the
lugs. An appointment of a guard
lan ad lltsm was agreed to. but the court
made no such appointment The court
then took a news. at the conclusion of
which an most was handed down so
