Senr-aticcs! Charges Mu; fcy C. J.
Smyth, Attorney for Pro
Hnent!. That the will of the late'Joseph A.
Connor, over the probating a copy of
which litigation Is being waged, was
destroyed soon after the death of
Mr. Connor, was directly charged by
Constantine J. Smyth, leading coun
sel for the proponents. In his argu
ment before Judge Leslie in county
court Thursday morning.
"Perjury is written large over
much of the testimony," was another
charge made by Mr. Smyth.
Touching upon the fact that Mrs.
Sperry, one of the heirs, had testi
fied that she knew the contents of
the will before the agreement for the
distribution of the estate was made
by the parties at interest, upon the
theory that Mr. Connor had destroyed
the will, Mr. Smythe said:
"Who could have furnished her
with a copy of the will when there
was none In existence except that
which Judge Duffie had in his keep
ing? I challenge anyone to reach
any reasonable conclusion under the
evidence than that Mrs. Sperry was
given or shown a copy by the person
who abstracted it soon after Joseph
A. Connor had passed away."
Mr. Smyth then called attention to
the fact that when put on the stand
the second time Mrs. Sperry attempt
ed to explain this by saying that she
learned tho provisions of the will
from the petition filed In county
court by the proponents. He then
read that petition, which tells neith
er the beneficiaries of the will nor
the amounts they were to receive.
Continuing his argument in the af
ternoon, Mr. Smyth discussed at
length the impossiblitiy of Mr. Con
nor having revoked the will by any
methods permitted by law, such as
burning or tearing it up, canceling
or obliterating it;
Nor, he said, has any reason been
shown for Mr. Connor desiring to
destroy the will. The story of a quar
rel between him and DIshop Scannell
was completely discredited by the
bishop's testimony and is now out of
the case. The Idea that Mr. Con
nor believed that Bishop Scannell
sent his Illness upon him he branded
as preposterous and impossible to a
man like Mr. Connor.
Mr. Smyth then eloquently recount
ed who for 12 years or more Mr,
Connor had two fixed purposes con
cernlug the disposition of his prop
erty; that an institution which should
serve as an enduring memorial should
be founded and that Miss Grace
Connor should be well provided for
Knowing that neither of these things
would be dona If he died Interstate
It is, he argued, Impossible to con
ceive of Mr. Connor destroying hi
will during his Illness. World Her

lecisioii Kikm King Out Missouri Tow
Cent Law Pleuses K.tilroiul
Milliliters.
Some railroad men believe the suc
cess attending litigation in Missouri,
where the 2 cent fare law was put
out of service, will cause a loosening
of purse strings and the expenditure
of greater sums of money for lm- ,
provements and new buildings in the
west than had been looked for a few
weeks ago. The assertion Is made
that the railroads will go back to
the three cent fare law Just as soon
as the state laws now standing in the
way can be defeated in the courts,
and that freight rates, reduced by
law, will gradually climb up to some
thing near thier old level. It Is held
that If tho laws reducing passengers
fares can be defeated that the rail
roads will make no concessions; that
they will put the three cent rate into
effect and that many of the reduc
tions formerly In effect will be slow
In coming again.
A Chicago report of opinions ex
pressed by the passenger men says:
"Passenger men favor a speedy re
turn to the 3-cent fare. No advo
cates of a 24-oent rate could be
found. It is the belief of the passen
ger men that the very worst of the
railroads could get In any of the
western states by an appeal to the
courts would be 26 cents. They
therefore see no reason why they J
should give up any advantage which
the decision of the federal court have
given them."
It Is held that the adjournment of,
lcglrlcturos In western states will
have a wonderful effect In reWvliig
confidence of railroad managers In 5
the business situation and that new
buildings nnd bitterment campaigns "
will be started. i
Executive officers of Missouri rail- t.
roads were scheduled to hold a con-
ferenee yesterday at St. Joseph where
the situation following the rourt's 1
decision would be canvassed and an
agreement entered Into concerning
tho course to pursue. Following this j
meeting the passenger men are ex- .
pectcd to meet and rcvlso rate sheets. 1
