WE 13, HEBJMLE ilboolutcfy 7UEUE IS m SUBSTITUTE One of Waterbury's Oldest Citizens Witness in Lawlor jScaMen Case. 1 One of the Tery old residents of the city, Michael Donahue, formerly of Spring street and now of East Main street, was testifying at press hour yes terday in the case of Lawlor vs Scad den, which has been before Judge George W. Wheeler and a jury in the superior court a week. Mr, Donahue said he came to this city in the spring of 1836 and after remaining here a short time went west He remained west a year or so and then returned. In 1843 he went we&t again and upon his return lived on Cole .street Back and forth to the west he went occa sionally until about forty years ago, when he settled in town and has re amined here since. Next June, if he lives, and his looks indicate that he will, he will be 87 years of age. Mr Donahue said he knew "old.man" McGivney very well. His knowledge of him, however, did not differ very much from that of the other witnesses in a general way. They used fre quently to visit each other and when Mrs McGivney was sick Mr McGivney called to see witness to advise him about his wife's money. McGivney wanted witness's assistance in Induc ing her to deed It over to him'. Mrs McGivney was in doubt as. to what was best to do and acted upon the sug gestion of her husband's friend, wit ness, that it would be the best thing she could do with it, to will it to her husband. She had about $7,000. ,v Whenever McGivney wished to see witness he ' invariably sent 'word through Thomas Scadden, one of- the defendants. For instance, when he iteslrAff tv .rnnke his will he sent word in that manner to have Mr Donahue bring along Attorney Gillette. 'lhis was the first will. Thomas Scadden was a witness to that instrument and witness was executor. McGivney said the Rev' Patrick McGivney wanted to be named executor, but he, McGivney, would not have it. . ; ' ' i Witness was " not sure, but to the best of his recollection the McGivney clergymen got about $250 each In that will and their sisters about $150 each. MeGlvnev often SToke' about some' difference he bad with the" plaintiff's fa ther over a well. He accused him of having removed the buckets from it, and ' he also spoke of some trouble srv-TTAi cfrvTYiA ieialM Art. a Ti nr 1y- .A ftfV- on wiU , was drawn In McGIvney'9 1 house and witness was present . that time. He could not say who else was there outside of the Scaddens and Atr torney Gillette. ' Witness recalled one day the plain tiff, visiting McGivney; The Scaddens entered and a good deal of talk" fol lowed. - Plaintiff was heard to say that the old man oueht to. give her family as much as he gave others, and he re plied that he knew what he was aoing better than anyone else and he wag able to manage his own affairs. .! 1 ',.r A few days before McGivney died witness visited him, and McGivney told him that he had disposed of every thlnsr na Ji thousht best and -hoped there would be no trouble over it after he .was gone. ' V . Under cross-examination Mr Dona hue nam that McGivney told him he had disposed, of his property as - he wished and in a way that would piace it beyond the reach of the lawyers. He was always very careful of his money and; witness considered Jiim of sound mind. 1 Witness was asked If he thought MeGIvney's mind was sound when he drew $9,000 from the bank in certm cates, leaving the money in bank, but dATrlvlner himself of the interest and witness said he could not say; he could not tell what he himself -would, : do under the circumstances, and he never heard hint complaiuiof . jthe Scaddens trying to get his property from- him.., He never heard,, , him. say that no one; wuM srfit hia Trorerty -while he. lived,' and -witness did not know that for some time before McGivney's death he did not own a foot of grouna or naa a renhv to his -' name; -Witness : was aware that Mrs Patrick Thompson got $1,000 at the same tame Airs caaaen got $5,000. and ' he asked, s McGivney whv flifl not cive Mrs Thompson more, because she deserved it, and Mc Givney, said he would probacy give her hoy something for his education; vf wirnAsia -was aware, or understood. that what was left at that time was reserved for incidentals such as fu neral expenses and - masses. He did not see, nor did he inquire, how Mc Givney could give away any more money. .-v.' ;. Philip McGivney went on the. stand u'l frtrp'noon. after Mr Donahue. HQ said he went no often er to see his uncle before he got the money than' alter, and that when the old man asked htm after he had given him the money why he did not eomeoftener, he said his rea son wnfwlthnt people would think he -was after hl money. After he had been given the money the old man told him that .he djd, not want to have any law suits or quarrels over his property when he was no more. The deed to the lot given by McGivney to witness's children wa produced and witness said he knew of no such prop erty as described in the deed, yet wit ness is' in possession of a lot purported to be the lot conveyed 'In the deed men tioned. He could not tell how McGiv ney, came to describe the lot in that manner. The value of this lot was in quired into by Attorney O'Neill and Attorney ' Williams objected. Mr O'Neill claimed it was to show that McGivney. gave the lot to witness be cause he needed more than ,the plain tiff; that t&ct, was the motive pre dominant in him when he distributed his property. Attorney E. F. Cole wag the next witness. His evidence related to cer tain deeds of ..property to certain of the defendants. arding's 72-74 South Main st, XelepHorie 220.
