N. Knowl- ton, defendant, to determine who are | the heirs of the late Join Nelson | Knowlton, who died in Leeds town- | { ried and this was the reason for her { ship, and who left an estate valued | at approximately $46,000. The case Wednesday afternoon, and was not concluded until late Thursday after- { noon, and revolved itself into quite {a legal battle, with A. B. Cunaing- { 'ham, K.C., for the plaintiff, and J. A. Hutcheson, K.C., Brockville, for the defendant. A large muimber of wit- nesses were called on both sides. | ' Following the taking of evidence, | 6th Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Hut- | cheson addressed bis lordship. Mr. Cunningham referred to the fact that the law required al! minis- ters to have every marriage they per- formed properly registered. In this case it had been found that no record had been made of the marriage vita the registrar-gencral at Toronto or in a church registrar in Kingston. Mrs. Knowlton claimed the marriage took place at the General Hospital, and that the ceremony was performed hy | an old Baptist minister. It may | have been performed by Rev. Mr Grafty, who was a Baptist ninister here for a short time. "We have evidence that tHe couple lived together in a community tor upwards of forty vears,' added Mr Cunningham, "and they lived to- gether as man and wife. That was the general reputation throughout the country. The plaintiff was known as Mrs. Knowlton and her childrey were also known by the same name. I contend that thé onus is placed on my learned friend on the other side, to prove that there was no mar- riage." * Justice" Orde remarked that the case was a very strange one, in that there was no marriage certificate that could be produced, no record of the marrage could be secured from any source, and the people who it was alleged had witnessed the mar- riage, were dead. It had not been established whether a certain minis- ter, Rev. Mr. Grafty, had performed the ceremony, and sent the records on to Toronto. It was apparent that Knowlton never told any person out- gide of his own family, that he was married, and that the plaintiff was his wife. The fast that the couple lived together did not say they were married. His lordship also stated that in reading over the will of the deceas- ed, it appears to show that it was the will of a man who did not think he was married, as he had used the | word "heirs" instead of the names.of parties. : "He gave one the idea that he was not married," added his lordship, 'but this may be an indication of his peculiar mind." Mr. Cunningham pointed out that the man who had drawn up the wil: was not a lawyer. Mr. Hutcheson, in his argument stated that the outstanding feature of the case wes that the decease | never upheld the report of his mar. riage. If it had taken place, suraly he would have upheld ft, ---- No Oruréh Record. When the case was resumed on Thursdaly morning, Rev. J. 8. La- Flair, pastor of the First Baptist church, was called by Mrs. Hutche- son, counsel for the defence. Wit- ness had a book, containing a record of marriages performed by_ Baptist ministers here in 1883. No entry was found of the marriage of John Nelson Knowlton and Rosey La. pointe. % Mrs. Eliza Paul, sister of the late John Nelson Knowlton, and one of the defendants, stated that she was seventy years of age, and that she lived at Newboro. Mr. Hutcheson asked the witness about the report that Rosey Lapointe had married John Nelson Knowlton. "I heard the report but paid no attention to it," said the witness. "It doeq not matter if you paid any attention to the report or not," said his lordship, 'what did you hear?" "I heard it once," said the wit- ness. . "And what did you hear?" asked the judge a second time. "I ®0 not know as I can tell you." Mr. Hutcheson: "When did you hear of the alleged marriage taking place in Kingston in 1883°" "I could not tell you that." "Was it before or after the death of John Nelson Knowiton." "It was before he died." Witness said she knew one of the men, who it was stated, had been a witness of the marriage. "This man was a neighbor of mine," added the witness, "and I be- wals commenced early | lieve he would have told me had he witnessed the marriage." "The alleged witness of the mar- riage was also a bosom friend of my husband," sald the witness. "Did you ever have any conversa tion witk your brother about the al- leged marriage?" Asked Her Brother. Witness provoked much amuse- ment over her answer to this ques- tion when she said: ""We never had any cdaversation at this time. I asked him about it and he faid 'no'." Wiiness remarked that she heard a' rumor that her brother wa; mar- asking him about it. "I guess he thought I was a little bit off when ! asked him the ques- tion." added the witness. "They lived together as man and wite for forty years?' "I don't believe it," witness. "And why do you not believe 1t°" asked Mr. Cunningham. "Because they used to Aght."", said the witness, wherawith there was a ripple of laughter throughout the courtroom. Mf. Cunningham remarkel that the plaintiff had given birth to four children, and that John Nelson Knowltor was the fatter, but the witness was not ready to balieve the truth of this statement. "Are you really gerious in this'mat- ter." asked his lordship of the wit ness. "Are" you suggesting that the four children are not the children of your brother" "I don't belleve .t," said the wit- nesy. 'Then 'you are makirg vour bro- ther out a iar," replied his lord- ehip. Mr. Cunningham produced a pho- tograpk of the late John Nelson Knowiten and after looking at it, witness said sharply, "lt esn't look like bim." / replied the Called Her Stupid Woman? His lordship remarked that the witness gave her evidence in such a Inanner as to make one believe that she was weak-minded. "I have all my senses all right," said the witness. "Well then, you are a very stupid woman," came from the bench." His iordship added that the de- ceased had acknowledged that he was the father of the children, but a8 to whether the couple had been legally married was another ques- tion. Why a sister should go on the stand and talk as the last witness had talked, he could not understand. Mr. 'Hutcheson called Mrs. Bella Stout, Crosby, sister of the late John Nelson Knowlton, and one of the de- fendants in the case. "What, was the general under standing as to whether or not your brother was married?" "We did not understand that he was married." i {Continued on page 7.)
