tested will case OF Milford Martin, deceased, was re-
sumed in the surrOgate's Court yesterday The de-

the life use OF residence OF estate valued at
several millions. Her three daughters also claim the
requests made to them by the paper offered as will

tween them and continued until his death and that her

an unusual prominence, and the complications af-
