' The very interesting case of Crofut vs.
Layton is still awaiting decision.
The plaintitY is Captain James K.
Crofut, secretary of the Blodgett &.
Clapp Compa11y,of Hartford, who forl—
merly lived in South Norwalk, and now
lives in Simsbury, with office in the
Capital City.
His father, Andrew J. Crofnt, was a
member of thehat manufacturing firm
of The Crofut do Knapp company. of
South Norwalk. ‘ In March, 1893, the
company was made a joint stock corpor-
ation, and James K. Crofut was given a
portion of the stock. This was done
in order to have seven of the starkhold-
crs hold together and control affairs,
thus keeping it a close .corporation. It
was agreed then that neither would sell
during the lifetime of the other, and
each would sell his stock to the other.
The senior Crofut died in December,
1893, and bequeathed to his son consider-
able property. including his stock in the
batting concern, which amounted to
$50,000. But in order that the widow
might receive her share, he ordered the
sontopay her 8500 per annum for ten
years. This the plaintifl‘ refuses to do.
He claims that the condition imposed is
illegal and that the stock should be
given to him free of encumbrance. Cap«
tain Crofut was executor of the will.
Heis adjutant of the Fourth regiment.
The present executor, Jacob M. Lay-
ton, and the widow both claim that the
:mement had not been violated, be-
,‘cause it showed that the only purpose
of bequeathing James the. title to the
' . stock was to carry-on the voting power
‘ after the death of A. J. Crofut, and that
1.110 had done so by his will, that there
was nothing in the agreement prevent-
ing A. J, Crofnt from attaching any
condition which was fair for the other
members of his family, and that prc. -
tically Jana-.41 was making the claim
that in signing the agreement his father
. had made a will in his favor of all of
4
, value about $12,000.
his property, which is not true and his
construction of the will is illegal under
the law vol 1877, giving the wife an
4 absolute share in the estate. ‘
A member of the Crofut do Knapp
company told a Sentinel reporter this
morning that the decision of the case,
whatever it might he, would in no way
atl‘oct the company.

Oyster Beds Damaged.
The examination of the oyster beds off
New Haven by a number of the planters

The Stamford Admit-ate tells the fol-
lowing: "Lido Tuesday afternoon an
elderly 1111111, accompanied 11y a young
man. entered theselwtmen's oltlcc and
said they wanlcd to 114444 the chief
of the town fathers. Mr. Holly had not

era], but. Mr. Roberts was there and
tendered his services. 4 The elderly man,
with sundry pmmptinga front his more
youthful companion, informed Mr. Rob-
erts that he had a bill of $200 inguinal;
the town for bounty, and had been sent
here by Justice Keeler, of Norwalk, to
oollectit. Justice Keelor is one of the
legal lights of Norwalk who are trying
to collect claims for bounties for which
Ike Selleck and the other Norwalk se-
lectmen say they have receipts. The
seloetmcn are tantalizing, at. least so
think the legal lights, because they will
not show them the recrupts. The law-
ycrs have been invited to sue the town,
and they seem unwilling to do that, be-
cause it would cost something, and their
contract with the veterans is that they
shall recievc, in lieu of fees, 10 per cent.
of what they can collect. Their. latest
scheme is recall a special town meeting,
for the purpose of letting :1 committee
pass upon bounty claims, undmaybe
Norwalk people will favor them. Maybe
they will not.
"But this is adiversiou. The elderly
man pro inced a long envelope in which
wast). copy of his discharge and of a
power of attorney given to Justice
Keeler of Norwalk. His name is Alfred
Z. Bmadhurst, and he served in Coin-
puny H, Seventeenth regiment, C. V.,
Captain Kcll g. Company H was re-
cruited mostl in New Canaan, but con-
tained several men from other towns;
including Private Broadhurst. He was
seventeen in 11102, and lived with his
1114.111114'1' in NonlrStamford. He explain-
ed that he was ‘quotad' to Stamford,
and that this town paul each 1111111
from Stamford enlisting in the Seven-
tceuth $200. He never had received
anybounty, and wanted it. He looked
as if he needed it. Broadhnrst lives in
Norwalk now, and has consulted patri-
otic gentlmucn of thcluvv who never
fought for their country but are willing
to light for the nation's dcl'cndcrs and a
commission. 7
“The pair left the sclcctuu-n's ollicc
after Mr. lolx-rtshud informed them
that Mr. Holly had full chargc 411' the
pension department of Stamford. Half
an hour later they saw that gentleman,
told him the story and produced the
papers. "The first sclcctnnui glanced
41‘1'441' them and made a speech.
“ ‘There is 1141thing,’ declared the town
rather, 'l'hnt I Would not do for the old
soldiers. They are the men who prc-
served the Union—the men to whom We
owe the glorious government under

the records to show that the town voted
,bountics to the Seventeenth, and as the
money in my charge belongs to the tax—

You will have to call again.’
1 "The veteran, disappointed but not
discouraged, went onto 14-11 how certain
he was that Stamford had voted $200, to
each man, and how some of them got it,
but he had put 4111' the presentation of
his claim from time to time. Norwalk
was paying $100 each to its recruits then,
and New Canaan 1230, but these villages
could not be expected to otfcr‘ such in-
ducements as ‘ patiotic and generous
Stamford. He said he should hunt up a
man' in North Stamford who had receiv-
ed the bounty in his presence, and some
others, and bring them along for cvi—
deuce. 4
“Selectman Holly's opinion of the
Norwalk bounty speculators is not in-
creased by the incident just related. He
thinks that if they are not kept so busy
at home that they can find time to present
claims against Stamford, they might do
it do a regular way. The town is willing
to pay‘ all it owes, but that it owes any
bounties to veterans of the Seventeenth
has not been suggested heretofore."

and contrary to what was cxpccted the
oyster growers of the Western part of

of the objections made to the valuations
were by the New Haven oyster growers.
