THE BIIRWILL GIISE.
Judge Hall Amends His Findings in
the Case.
To Be Tried in the Supreme Court.
At the request of the attorneys for
the defendant, Judge J. M. Hall,of the
Superior court has made an additional _
finding in the case of Lizzie T. Barnes
vs. William H. Starr and others,recent-
ly decided by the court in favor of a the
plaintiff. _
The suit was for the setting aside of
an ante-nuptial marriage Contract an
involved some questions which had not
before arisen in courts, of this state.
The knotty nature of ‘the questions in
issue is indicated by the fact that Judge
Hall’s finding was net made until about
eight months after the hearing in court
was closed.
Lizzie T. Cartwright, of Norwalk, at
the age of 45 married Samuel H. Barnes,
a wealthy 75 year old widower, of W11-
ton. Miss Cartwright at the time of her
marriage was a maiden lady. The first
Mrs. Barnes died in September, 1884.
Barnes met Miss Cartwright about five
months after his first wife’s death and
thereafter for a year and a half wooed
her most industriously. He proposed
marriage less than a year after the death
of the first Mrs. Barnes, giving Miss
Cartwright to understand that if she
would consent to quit single blessedness
for his sake, he would remove from his
Wilton farm to Norwalk and establish
, her in a comfortable, in. fact somewhat
pretentious home. Miss Cartwright
vainly endeavored to resist her aged
lover's blandishments,and in the month
after his proposal consented to give up
her hand and heart to him.
About a month after the engagement
of marriage was entered into Barnes
one day told his fiancee that his rela-
tives, who consisted principally of some
half a dozen nephewshwere much put
out at the thought of his marrying her,
or in fact any other woman. They said
that she was only marrying him for his
money. To prove that they were
wrong, he suggested that Miss Cart-
wright for a consideration of $5,000 to
be paid at her husband’s decease, sign
a waiver of her dower rights in his es-
tate. Said Barnes:
“I don’t believe thatyou have any
idea of marrying me for my money,
but I would like this, so that I can show
it to them; they feel so badly about
my marrying you, and I want to con-
vince them that you are no such person
and you can have confidence in me that
I will destroy it as soon as we are mar-
ried.”
Barnes also showed Miss Cartwright
an anonymous letter which he thought
come from Nelson B. Goznam’s folks.
Gorham married a daughter of Barnes
by the first Mrs. Barnes.
Mr! Barnes testified in court that
under fraudulent representations made
by Barnes that he was not worth more
than $15,000, when as a matter of fact
he was worth nearly $100,000, and that
he 7 ould destroy the contract after
mar iage, she signed the ante-nuptial
agreement. After Barnes’ death Mrs.
Barnes brought suit to have the agree-
ment set aside in order that the way
might be open for her to contest Mr.
Barnes’ will, by which most othis
' rs.
Barnes testified that several times her
husband told her that he had destroyed
the contract and that it was not until a
short time before his death that she
discovered he had deceived'her. Barnes
and Miss Cartwright were married in
figgust, 1886, and Barnes died April 23,
The case was stubbornly contested,
States Attorney Fessenden and Good-
win Stoddard appearing for Mrs.
Barnes, and Samuel Tweedy and Judge
Brewster, both of Danbury, for the
defendants. The latter endeavored to
prove that the plaintifi‘ had not been
the victim of fraudulent representa-
tions; that she knew the amount of Mr.
Barnes’ wealth and knew also that the
marriae contract had not been de-
stroye . In other words, that with her
eyes wide open and fully conscious of
the effect of such an agreement she
signed the waiver of her dower rights.
After the attorneys for the plaintiff
had rested her case, the defendants’
counsel moved the court that all evi-
dence offered b the plaintifi‘ regard-
ing her husban ’s promise to destroy
the marriage contract he not consid-
ered by the court, on the ground that
as a matter of law it is not a fraud to
make a promise not to carry out ‘an
agreementpf any kind, and that, there-
fore, all ev1dence’concerning the prom-
ise'to destroy the contract should be
stricken out. This the court declined
to do, stating that there was no authori-
ty in this state for such a procedure.
To this ruling the defendants excepted.
The additional finding now made by
Judge Hall is to include in the original
finding the testimony of Alexander
Barlow, one of the nephews. Barlow
testified that during Mr. Barnes’ fatal
illness the plaintifl‘ had said to him,
while driving him to the railroad sta-
tion, discussing at the same time the
possibility of her husband’s death:
. “Well, you boys shall have a nice
little sum, bnt I-shall have a mere noth-
cr ”
Judge Hall has also, at the request
of Attorneys Tweedy and Brewster,
made some other testimony considered
by these attorneys as favorable to their
side of the case, part of his finding, as
well as a number of claims of law
which were submitted in argument, but
notwithstanding which the court found
Judgment for the plaintiff. The object
in securing the additional finding is to
strengthen the appeal by the defend-
ants to the Supreme Court. The parties
to the action are well known through-
out Faiifield county, particularly in
and around Bridgeport, Danbury and
Norwalk, and the decision of the Su-
preme Court will be awaited with more
interest than ordinarily attaches to
cases in the civil courts. It is fair to
say that many of the leading members
of the bar of this county who have fol-
lowed the case with an interest which
though professional, is as great as that
of others whose interest is of a difl'er-
ent nature, are divided in their opin-
ions concerning some of the important
questions to be passed upon by the
highest legal tribunal in the state.
The Supreme Court will by its find-
ing establish a precedent for this state
which is of itself sufficient to arouse
the interest of the entire legal fraternity.

--ONE CURE FOR INSOMNIA.
A Man From New York state Took gum.
Active Exercise on Horseback.
“I oncewas asuflerer from insomnia,”
said a dentist who lives in one of the
small villages of the state, ashesat talk-
ing with other men in the sitting room
Of an uptown hotel. "but I got rid of the
trouble.” .
“What did you take for it?”
“Bucking pony.”
“Tell us about that, please.”
“Well, you see, there was nothing the
matter with me only I couldn't sleep.
The doctor looked me over and said I
wasn’t suffering from any disease that
he could detect, but all the same I could
get only a few catnaps every night, and
I felt that I would go crazy if such acou-
dition of afiairs continued much longer.
A wise friend of mine advised me to try
horseback exercise. Just at that time a
man had brought to the village a string
of ponies from the west. As the, ponies .
were wild they were offered for sale
cheap. I bought one. He was such a
sleepy looking animal that we called him
Rip Van Winkle. After we knew him
better we dropped part of the name and
called him plain Rip. The first ride ]
took on him furnished excitement for the
whole village. Two men helped me to
saddle and mount him in the stable.
When the door was Opened he shotout
into the street like a streak of lightning.
“He ran full against the fence opposite
the stable and broke several pickets.
Then‘he reared up on his hind legs and
came near throwing me over backward.
Next he tried to stand on his head, but
I yanked him back on his feet and drove
the spurs into him. He started to run
then, and I let him go as fast as he could
leg it until we got to the Methodist
church at the end of the street. A tem-
perance meeting was being held in the
church and the door was open. Before I
could stop the pony we were in the
church and half way up the aisle. Wom-
en screamed and fainted.
“Some of the men led Rip back into the
street. I didn’t dare to get off his back.
When the men let go of the bridle he be-
gan to buck, and for a. few minutes I
thought my neck would be broken. He
would go at a gallop when he went at
all, but he would stop now and then to
indulge in some bucking. Presently he
changed his tactics and went from one
street to another, across lots, jumping
fences, turning up flower beds, damaging
gardens and keeping me busy dodging
the branches of fruit trees. The next
street led to a turnpike, along which 1
spurred him for miles until he was cov-
ered with foam and nearly tired out.
“He seemed to be docile when I got
him back to the stable. Next day, how-
ever, he was nearly as bad as when I
first rode him, and every day for a fort-
night I was obliged to race him along the
turnpike several miles. My! my! How
he did buck! I was solame at the end of
two weeks that I could scarcely walk to
my office, but I could sleep. A few min-
utes after I got into bed at night I was
sleeping soundly, and I awoke every
morning thoroughly refreshed.”
-. “Do you still ride the pony?”
“No. By the time I was cured of sleep-
lessness I hadbrokenRiptoride, and I
sold him for double the sum I had paid
for him. My advice to anybody who is
sufiering from insomnia is to get a buck-
ingponyandride as fastashecan. If
nonecksarebrokembothman andpony
