One of His Companions Tells to Affect Ilim. Hott It Used EFFORT TO BREAK! RICH 3IAYS WILL Tf-rECIU TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.l 2f EW YokK, Dec. !). The belief of John Anderson, the millionaire tobacconist, in spiritual minifestations was a subject of Inquiry to-dav m the action of his daughter, 2ilr. Iinra V. Appleton, to recover a fifth interest in the ;itcof the Plaza Hotcl.which part of his estate. It recalled the action of Mrs. Mary Maud "Wat-on, a grandchild of the deceased, which was tried in 1RS7, and in which simi lar evidence Mas adduced. Mrs. "Watson aHo sued to recover a fifth interest in the f-anie propertv, and recovered judgment, by which the will of Mr. Anderson was de clared invalid. She settled for 5200,000, paid by John Charles Anderson, who by the will obtained the bulk ot the estate. "When the defense offered the will of John Anderson in evidence to-day. to show thav the site was w illed to John Charles Ander son, the plaint ilTs counsel objected, arcuing that the New Yorfc Life Insurance Com pany, the present owner of the property, had bought subject to her claim, and had used this cloud upon the tiile to prevent other bids at the sale in foreclosure at which the company had bousht the prop ertv for SrCI.000. "wherea it was worth .$1,700,000. Justice l'atti-feon, however, admitted the will. Objections Paid Tor "H"ith Hird Cash. "William G. Choate, who had been cuardian of the grandchild, Amanda Jiryant. testified in rehut'al that he and Charles H. Glover, guardian for Ajines ISnant, had filed hjictious to the probate of the will of Anderson which was presented for probate at White Plains, but the objec tions had been w ithdrawn on payment of 51S0.0O0 bv John Charles Anderson. He , esid Mrs. Kate Connor, w no had lived with j Anderson, relinquished any claim to Jus estate. Mrs. Appleton had received the income of f 00,000 under the will from 1SS1 to J8s7. Telix McCloskey, ot Brooklvn, who had also been a witness in the suit of Mrs. "Wat son, testified that he had been Anderson's companion and real, estate acnt, at a sal ary of 52,500 a ear. He had known An derson from '47. but was not employed by liim until ISGu. Anderson was then living st his residence on Fifth avenue. They were om? down to Tottenville, S. L. one clay in 1S09, when Anderson recounted the story of his life. He said he was born in 1?12, and had worked at several occupa tions, including that of mason and brick layer for a Mr. Pritchard, who, atter the preat fire of 1833, pave him monev to start a cipar stand on "Wall street, near Broadwav. lien asKed about the conversation lie had with Mr. Anderson at the Astor House, in 1RG0, the witness said he could not describe it while women were in the court room. Mrs. Appleton went out into the corridor. He Often Saw ITis Dead Son. Mr. McCloskev then said that Anderson told him he had picked his wife up in the street in 1835. The bov "Little Willie" Irad died, Anderson told witness through liis mother's nerfect, when she was drunk, Sii permitting him to lea e a sick bed. The witne-s was not permitted to testify concerning the effect of the murder of May Sogers on Mrs. Anderson's mind. Ander son frequently told the witness that he saw "Little Willie." He pointed to an empty lench in Battery Park on one occasion ana j-aid Wil'ie was there. "When leaving the Star Theater one night in 1870 they passed a little girl, and Anderson said: ""There, do iou Fee him?" Mr. Anderson went up to inspect some lots in Fortj-fifth street, with the idea of purchasing them, in 1W9, but turned back, Jelling the witness: "I have thieves, mur derers and vagabonds who will get all I have, and I'll jump into the riv er." He said that if he lost the divorce suit he had hiought against his wife he would blow out his brains. Mr. Anderson had made a will in 1R70, by whicli about 51.0OK.WW was to go to Mrs. Appleton.
