Estate Case
Jacob M. Union gave further leHli'
motty during his sen-n hours on the
witness stand yesterday, in connection
with his ttdminlstrutimi of the estate
of 'l‘heodore B. Lowlides, ttnd when ht
flniiillod was on the verge of an emo
tlonul breakdown While txplalnlng
what he had done to elear up the. tan .
gled transactions, his voice became
choked with mind which did not break.
his eyes filled with it are. and he show-
ed too plainly thttt his spirit was hu~
millated by the confession he had to
make.
He had explained that he Will" to
New Haven attd New. York, and there
before the counsel now appearing ill
the case. and others he had explained
every item and had endeavored to give
all the infortttatltin he could. He. said
he only ilt’iiil'dliid'llbout explaining the
l’omeroy checks until he could COD-
sttit .ittdge Light. and as the latter told
blln to give them all the information
he ltad. he explained those. checks al-
so, Then he seemed almost overcome
by the remembrance, and he continued
bt'okenly, "it has letLto some unforv
Innate anti disagreeable'uituatlons and
lttto some places which are hard for a
man to 20.. as yott all know, but i
have endeavored to do everything in
my power to clear the mailer up."
Previously Mr. Layton had explained
on cross-examination, that the keeping
of the checks of the United States
Foundry and Sales (‘ompany in the
teller's drawer until taken tip by him
was a tmuporary and irregular pro
emailing. So far as he knew as a mat-
ter 0f ftu‘t the. bank never received
any financial benefit. from those trans
actions. There was nothing so far as
he knew by which the officers of‘lhe
hank know those checks w: re out. of
the ordinary.
During the first. day's prta'eedings
Mr. Layton was asked in what capa-
city Judge Light attended the confer-
ence helm-en himself, Wtorney Webb.
Mr. Woodward and others, and he said
Judge Light. was his counsel. (in cross
examination, although the question
was objected to by Mr. Webb it was
brought. otii that Mr. Webb was pre-
sent as the attorney for the Alena ln~
demnlty Company. which was on his
bond and for which he was agent. Af-
ter a long argtnnent three letters were
introduced to show further than shown
by the plaintiff's letters, the relation
between the Aetnu indemnity (‘ompa-
ny and the witness and also with (lol-
