SENT PECULIAR LETTER.
Executor for Todd Woman Admitted He
Wrote It.
New York, March 14. A contest over
the will ol Mrs. Margsretta Todd, the
aged and wealthy woman whose myster
ious death near Philadelphia last fall
has never been fully explained, was be
gun yesterday. Mrs. I odd's body was
found on the railroad tracks and there
was evidence that the body had been
carried there after death in order to
conceal foul play.
In the will contest, Mrs. Todd's daugh
ter, Mrs. Frank Tousey, and her grand
son. Milton Berclsherm, are attempting
to have a different executor appointed
in place of Ingersoll Lockwood, a law
yer who now fills that position.
Mr. Lockwood while on the witness
stand yesterday identified a letter which
he said he hail written. It was dated
July P, 1005, and was addressed to the
manager of the apartment house in
which Sir. Todd Jived. Lockwood ex
plained that he referred to a man named
Ileal, who frequently visited Mrs. Todd
when he wrote:
"That little son of a gnu is a dirty
little beggar. She promised me faith
fully not to leave him a cent. If he
makes love to her henven only knows
nhat she will do. He is a shallow
rogue; continue to play him. Have a
duplicate key made to her apartment."
Previous to the introduction of this
letter Lockwood had testified that he
did not have a key made for Mrs. Todd's
apartment, but said that he did tell the
manager of the apartment house that
it was unsafe for the lady to live all
alone in her eparment and suggested
that it might be well if he provided a
duplicate key.
A reporter for a morning paper tes
tified that in an interview with Mr.
Lockwood, Lockwood told him that there
were two wills, one made in 1902, the
will now being contested, and another
nirde in 1003.
On cross examination, witness could
not remember whether Lockwood to'd
him that he had the wills or that he
knew there were two wills.
DODGE ON PROTECTION.
Balfour and Chamberlain Are at Present
Non-Committal.
London, March 14. The opening of
the debate in the House of Commons
Monday on motion of Sir dames Kit
son, ministerialist, declaring it to be the
detcrminaton of Parliament to resist
any attempt to institute protective du
ties, proved to be uneventful. The mo
tion was aimed to emphasize the dissen
sion supposed to exist amongst the Un
ionits, but former Premier Balfour hu
morously treated it as a motion of cen
sure on the opposition, and both he and
Joseph Chamberlain avoided committing
themselves to any expression of opinion.
The main points of interest in the debate
were of a personal character. Mr. Cham
berlan once called the premier "uncivil,"
and on another occasion Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman, testily reproving the op
position for wasting time, exclaimed:
Enough of this tomfoolery, move your
amendments and let us get to business."
The debate .continued into the small
hours. At one point Fir Edward Clarke,
Mr. Balfour's eolleague in the represen
tation of the city of London, made a
notable repudiation of Mr. Chamberlain's
fival policy, though declaring himself in
favor of Mr. Balfour's policy of retalia
tion. The division will bn taken.
