MORE ABOUT THE SWITS CASE.
Decision of Judge Scott II
Awaited With interest.
A unique case was tried recently in
the l'ourt of Common Pleas in this
county, before Judge Howard ll. Scott.
it was brought by'tho mother of the
late Willis A. Bwits to compel the
widow of her deceased son to restore
his body to the mother s burial plot,
from which it had been taken by the
widow and interred in the burial plot
of her father. William ll. Davenport.
it will be remembered that Willis A.
Swlts was killed by the. cars at l\‘o-
rotorr. lie. had been visiting his IIIotlr~
er, who lives near there, and was re-
turning to his home at South Norwnlk
when struck by the cars and fatally
injured. Ills wife, Elia. Maud Swim,
with whom he had lived most happily.
was so shocked by the. accident that
tithe has never recovered her former
health.
Tire mother claimed that her son
had expressed a desire to be buried
in her burial plot, and thII wife was so
overcome, by grief that she was not in
ii. condition to dispute the mother's
claim, and she yielded, and the moth-
e; had her way.
The body IIeIIIalucd for tug,yenrs
in the IIIollIcII's lot, and nothing what-
ever was done by the Swits family to
mark the grave or to make it attrnc~
tive. and the widow made inquii‘y as to
her legal right to improve the lot and
place a stone or monument at her hns~
band's grave, and learned that she
had not any right whatever in the burI
ial plot of her mot.he.r~ln-law, and that
she could not be buried by the side
of her husband, and inasmuch as the
mother and her family had not spoken
to or visited the widow since. the death
of her son. she made up her mind that
it Would be useless to try to qbtain
any rights in tin.- burinl plot when-
her husband was buried. from her
mothonlII-lnw. She, thoIIeiI‘IrII, obtain
ed it deed from her father, William
ii. Davenport, granting her the right
of burial of her husband and herself
in his family lot. She then went. to
the sIIperirIiendeIIt of the cemetery
and had him obtain necessary slain
tory permission to remove the body of
her husband to the fanrily burial plot
of her father, and caused her him
band‘s body to be removed and ruin»
terrcd accordingly. She then had his
grave properly marked and his iIquI-
suitably inscribed upon the family
monument.
it was found that Willis A. Swlls
had. made II will leaving all of his
property to his mother. and the wit.-
contested the probatiug of this will
upon the ground of undue. iniluencc
exercised over her husband by his
mother and his brother, David A.
Swits, a lawyer, of Mount Vernon, N.
Y. This brother drew the will, and
ire. attempted to have 'it probated
without first giving to his sisterin
iuw notice. of his intentions. Thr-
judge of probate, however, continued
the hearing IIII his application until
he was satisfied that the widow had
had personal notice. When she learn
ed what had been done, she employed
counsel and opposed the probate of
the will. Judge Gregory, of the Pro
bate Court, decided in her favor and
refused to admit the will to prubllic.
The mother took an appeal to tlIII Su-
perior Court and the case was tried
before a Jury, and a verdict was rcII-
dered in favor of the widow, sIIttlrnz
aside the‘wili. The. presiding judge
afterward granted a new trial, and the
case was settled out of court.
The widow is still young and at-
lrneiivc, and her devotion to the mem-
ory of her husband has attracted much
favorable comment.
The decision of Judge. Scott will he
awaited with much interest.
