DEPOSITIONS BEING TAKEN In Suit of Smith - Heir for Two Mil lions. The contest of the heirs of the late Mary Morehead Smith to recover prop. erty in the State of Illinois, valued at two million dollars, has begun. As was announced In The Post several weeks ago action was instituted in Quincey, Illinois. Yesterday Mr. Weldon T. Smith, the special commissioner appointed to take evidence and depositions, began the hearing in the law office of Mr. K. T. Gray. There was present Mr. A. W. O'Hara and Mr. M. P. Berry, two well-known attorneys of the State of Illinois, who represented the defendants. Mr. B. T. Gray and Mr. W. N. Jones, of this city, were present as counsel of the heirs of the late Mary Morehead Smith, who instituted the action. This case promises to be a celebrated one, on account of the very large sum Involved. It is of particular Interest to Raleigh people, because the heirB of the Smith estate reside largely in Wake county, and a number of them are well-known citizens of Raleigh. It has only been a few years since the Smith estate, which was a very valuable one. was sold and the money divided among the heirs. The suit, which has already been in stituted in Quincy, Illinois, is brought by Edwin It. Harrison and others. Mr. "arrlson is a native of Forestville. this county, but at present resides in Chicago. Mr. Turner, a well-known lawyer of Quincy, 111., made Beveral trips to Ral eigh for the purpose of getting the Smith heirs to bring action. There be ing many heirs it took some time to obtain the consent of all the parties Interested. He signed a contract with the heirs by which he is to get half of the property. If the action Is suc cessful and in return he bears all ex penses of the suit. The action Is brought to recover pos session of thousands of acres of farm lands In Adonis, Hancock, Warren, Knot, Henderson, Mercer, 1'eorla and other counties in Illinois. The defendants, who are In possession of the very valuable land referred to aboe, secured It through purchase from Penelope Smith and her daughter. Mary Morehead Smith. It Is claimed by the heirs at law of Richard Smith, who was the husband of Penelope Smith, that he only willed his daughter and grandchild a life In terest in the property and that the sale of the property was, therefore Illegal. Smith's wife died long ago and his daughter died some six years ago in a Philadelphia insane asylum. The will of Richard Smith, who was one of Wake's most wealthy citizens, bequeathing his property to his daugh ter and grandchild will no doubt be contested by the defendants. The doc ument is on file In the office of the Clerk of the Court of Wake county. It is said that the Supreme Court of North Carolina has decided in a former case that Smith only w illed his daughter and HiulchiUl a lifetime estate in the P Vrty. Ti.e heirs-at-law instituted action against the Illinois defendants before the seven ear's of limitation, as pre scribed by statute, expired. Lawyers here express the belief that the heirs-ai-lnw have an exceedingly clear and fclroiig c:ise. Tile suit, if gained, would dispossess over 1'iO occupants of large farms in Illinois. The property is said to be worth not less than $2,000,000. Mr. Smith, the special commissioner, yesterday examined four witnesses. They were Mrs. I.. Cosby of Raleigh. Mrs. J II. I'rcnshnw of Wake Forest. Mis. V. Harrison and Mrs. O. J. Car ver, of Forestville. Their eveidence consisted of establishing family Iden tity, (iiiier witnesses will be examined. HOARD OF KXAMINERS.

CONTRACT TO BE DRAWN AT ONCE Government Will Give State 25c Per Day and Labor of Each Convict. Mr. Claudius Dockery, the chairman of the Board of Directors of the Pen itentiary, Is here to see the Governor with reference to drawing the contract, subject to the approval of the Govern ment at Washington, for the locatii n of a Federal prison for Southern con victs at the State penitentiary. The announcement in The Post yes terday of Prison Inspector La Dow's favorable report and the almost cer tain location of the Federal prison here was read with much Interest. Chairman Dockery says he has Just received a letter from Col. James E. Boyd, of the Department of Justice, Informing him of the favorable report made by the prison inspector. Col. Boyd Informed Mr. Dockery that the contract should be diawn at once, so that the spring convicts may be sent here. Mr. Dockery states that, as yet, no terms have been agreed upon between the State and Federal authorities. It is very likely that the Government will give the State 25 cents a day for the care of each prisoner, In addition to their labor. Impure lllood in spring. This is the almost universal ex perience.
