Judge voids Martha Bailey will over undue influence
A jury in the Supreme Court East Cambridge under Judge Rugg set aside the will of Martha E. Bailey of Newton after five days of trial. The court found undue influence by Dr Frederick W Webber of Newton, who received stock and a diamond, while the brother J Warren Bailey would gain only lifetime income.

Bill Repeal Passes Second Reading In Commons
In London on May 8 the bill repealing the Irish Coercion Act of 1887 passed to its second reading by 201 to 7. Chief Secretary Birrell defended the measure calling coercion unconstitutional and intolerable and urged that Ireland remains largely law-abiding despite pockets of lawlessness. The act was a Salisbury administration product and was followed by proclamation of the Irish National Land League once in effect.
