Ernest li. herd. of Wil-
ton. Senior at New Ilaven.
May Have Obtained Money
from Mrs. toy. Over Whose
Household lie was Guardian

At the instance of Attorney Seymour
(3. Loomis. Judge Bishop, of New Hav-
en, has appointed Monday next as the
date for hearing arguments for the
dissolution of a temporary injunction
obtained by Charles Hellyer. Burton
N. Mansfield and George M. Harmon.
by which Ernest H. Hurd. a strident
in the senior class at Yale is restrain-
ed from holding any communication
with Mrs. Lavinia H. Foy. of 62 Dwight
street, New Haven, widow of James H.
Foy. Mr. Hurd comes from Wilton.
Conn. and has for the past two years
resided at Mrs. Foy's home at the ad-
dress given.

According to the allegations on
which the injunction was secured.
Hurd. during his residence with Mrs.
Fay, who is about ninety years of age.
had secured an influence over her of
which he had made use to his own
pecuniary advantage. and a cessation
of communication between them was
deemed advisable by her relatives and
friends. Among the former is General
George M. Harmon. her son-in-law.
while Mr. Heilyer and Mr. Mansfield
are trustees for her estate.

From the little that can be gathered
from those interested in the case, Hurd
had been selected by the trustees to live
in the house and lend the presence of a
man as a protecting Influence over the

_ household. He had been engaged be-
tween two and three years ago, and
since that time has resided continu-
ously at 02 Dwight street. New Haven.
until barred by the injunction.

All went well for a long title. and
no exception was taken to young
Hurd's conduct, in any way. until with-
in a few months relatives of the old
lady claim to have discovered that he
was obtaining money from her through
the motherly interest she hurl conceiv-
cd for the student. .Stcps were at once
taken to protect her property and all
communication between her and her
protector was debarrorl by court pro~
ceedlngs.

Few of the older residents of New
Haven are better known that Mrs. Poy.
who first achieved prominence. by...ip-
venting the “For corset." through
which she obtained the soubriquet. of
”Madame Fey.“ The enterprise was at
once. taken up by her husband. and
the manufacture of the article was for
a long time conducted by the firm of
For N; Harmon. General George M.
Harmon. Mrs. Foy's sonvin—law and ti
plaintiff in the present proceedings, lic-
ing Mr. Foy's partner In the business.
The, factory was at that time located in
the old English building, at Church
and George streets. until the business
was continued about fifteen years ago.

Mrs. Pay is credited with being ex-
tremely wealthy. and has perpetuated
her name. through the presentation
of the For auditorium in the New Haw
on Y. M. C. A. building. She has‘sov-
oral handsome turnouts and Is well
known throughout that city.

Attorney William H. Ely. of Now Ha-
ven. appears as counsel for the true-
tees and Mr. Harmon. while Attorney
Seymour C. Loomis is representing Mr.

LEGACY FOR COUNTY CHILDREN.
George Nash. of Norwalk, Left 3200
for Use of inmates.

The county commissioners yesterday
received information of a legacy left
them in Norwalk. It was not a very
large one. nor was it exactly for the
pleasure of the commissioners. but. it
showed one man‘s goodness of heart
and his interest in the children in the
county home. The Commissioners. as
trustees. will see that. the wishes of
the tesiator are carried out.

Judge Gregory of the Norwalk pro-
bate court informed the commissioners
that by the terms of the will of George
Nash. probated in his court, the sum
of $200-is left to the commissioners in
trust fat the brmetit of the inmates of
the county home at Norwalk at. the
time it becomes payable. The. tests.
for evidently wanted to show his in-
terest in the children rather than in
the home as an institution. and so left
the money for the benefit of the in
mates. The commissioners have not
yet. decided just what use they will
make of the money.

ASSAULT COST POPP $32.

Little Paul Popp, of Connecticut no
one. is free at last from the. charge of

A Settlement

Man Who Brought Suit
Against Administrators and
Executors. Willing to Accept
$l50 Rather than llave
Gases lried

It is quite ci’ident that “D. Preston
Atwood," of Bridgeport. and other
places. who has brought suit in many
towns in the state against administra-
tors and executors of estates. is willing
land even anxious) to settle without
having them come to trial. He has of-
fered, through his attorneys, to com-
promise for fifty per cent. of the
amount he has brought suit for, and
has had sent out a type written letter
to all his prospective victims. notify-
ing them of his plan and tendering
considerable advice gratituously. It is
considered very doubtful. however, if
the proposition is accepted, as the par-
ties interested are willing to fight the
cases out in the courts. A copy of the
letter follows:

Pholan. Toomey & Phelan.
Attorneys and Counselors at Law.

Bridgeport. Conn.,

2s Sanford Building.

May 17th, 1904.
Mr. Albert E. Winchester.
Dear Sir:—

in the suit which he recently in-
stituted against you. for your failure
to file. an inventory by law. it is Mr.
Atwood's present intention to return
the writ to court on May 28th. 1904.
After the retnm of said writ to court
the costs against you will be increas-
cd from eighteen to thirty dollars ov-
er the amount already incurred. thus
making the total sum for which you
will be held liable about three bun
dred dollars in addition to your attor-
ney‘s fees in case of a contest. Mr.
Atwood has not the slightest fear of
the final outcome in the event of your
contesting the stilt as every conceiva-
blo defense. including all of the so
called “novel defenses" recently pub-
lished in the newspapers. have been
passed on by the highest courts of this
and other states, and in every intsancc
have been decided in support of Mr.
Atwood's position, and in cases exact—

 

ly similar to yours the courts
have uniformly decided in his
favor. Realizing. however. that a

contest on your part means some ex-
pense to him for attorneys in prose
cute. MU...” well as to yourself in
defending the same, and believing it
to be good business judgment to allow
you. as a discount in settlement. a
sum equal to what he would pay his at-
torneys for prosecuting the suit to the
court of last resort. he has authorized
us to make the following proposition
to you. vl7..: If you will file an in-
K'cntory of the estate with which you
have been entrusted. and send us as
Mr. Atwood's attorneys. one hundred
and fifty dollars before May 28th. 1904.
\ir, Atwood will withdraw his suit
against you. Remember this must be
done before May 281b, and we would
impress firmly on your mind that this
will be. the only proposition of settleL
rnI-nl you will receive except to pay
the full penalty and costs. Awaiting
your pleasure. we are.
Respectfully yours.

VICTORIA PREMIER'S POLICY.

 

Will Rolntroducs Arbitration II", and
Make New Appointments.

MELBOURNE. Victoria May 18—-
In the commonwealth House of Repre-
sentatives today Mr. Watson, premier
of the new (Lalwrl Cabinet, outlined
its general policy. He explained that
owing to the shortness of time since
the minister's accession to the office
It had been impossible to prepare a.
large policy and therefore they had
confined themselves to the. practicable
program of modest dimensions. The
government proposed to reintroduce
the arbitration bill retaining its general
principles but making state employes
amenable thereby. this being a point.
on which the late government was
wrecked. The arbitration court will
consist of a judge only. with special.
techinical assessors when desired by
either side. The appearance of coun-
sel before the court is prohibited with-
out the consent of both sides. there-
by limiting expenses.

It. was proposed. the premier con-
tinued. to appoint a single high com-
missioner in London. representing all
Australia. which would gradually re-
move the necessity for representa-
tives of the different. states of the
Commonwealth.

The other proposed legislation in-
cluded old age pension. state control
of the tobaceo trade and a banking
bill providing for all Australia. the
Canadian provision to compel banks
to hold 40 per cent. of their reserve in
government notes.
