The GREELEY WILL CAsE-At White Plains
Ny, yesterday, at the opening of the Greeley
viii case, Judge Hart stated that he had re-
ceiyed a note from Miss Ida Greeley, and which
had been approved by her SISTER, in which they
begged 20 withdraw from the contest which
their opponents were determined to wage over
their fathers grave. The contestants then
proceeded to prove the will made by Mr. Greeley
In ISL without further opposition. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Greeley left property estimated TO be
worth 5000 which, with the estate OF Mrs.
Greeley, would amount to S225, 200. Ida Greeley
in her note saws:
"De0r Judge Hart I am so much distressed by
the report Of yesterdays proceedings at Whit
Plains that / must withdraw from a contest
which our opponents are determined shall be
waged over my fathers grave, for not even %
carry out his last wishes can permit a memory
which is infinitely dear to me to be so desc
Grated" Gabrielle Greeley writes: ~ Join IN
the sentiments of this letter.
Mr.. Choate remarked that he had received a
communication from the Children's Aid society
stating that il il should transpire that Greeley's
estate had been impaired in value since ~ 1,
and that the will should be admitted to probate
they would abate proportionately their claim 10
the legacy. The value OF. Mr. Greeley's prop
erty is vartously estimated at between s6oO,D
and 81, 900; Williams stated il at S2O6 500 but
others equally well acquainted with the affairs
Of the estate state that after a careful inyen-
tory IL does not exceed $4,000, allowing the
very highest prices fer the shares of newspaper
and other stock.
