THEOPHILUs YoUNGs's IDENTITY STILL IN DoUBr-
The surrogate OF New York gave decision Thurs.
whose identity great mass of testimony has been
taken In the last two years before Edward E. IN
derhll, as referee. The wife of TheophluS Youngs,
formerly wellknown resident OF this city, APP
piled for letters OF administration upon his estate,
alleging and seeking to prove that her husband
was dead A man was produced In court, how
ever, who bears very close resemblance to her
husband, and the question to be determined was
whether or not he was the genuine Theopnus
Youngs- Some OF his relatives testify that he
was, ana he positively declared that he was. His
wife denied it. The genuine TheOphilus Youngs
disappeared several years before his death Is
alleged 10 have occurred, and the croSS-examina-
ton OF the claimant was directed largely to tn
qu!ries as to where he WAS during that period.
The testimony reported by the referee still leaves
the matter In an unsettled condition. The SurrO-
gate says that ne cannot determine the question
where the claimant was sat the time when
Mrs. Youngs asserts that her husband was
drowned The surrogate, Therefore, sends the case
back to the referee for more testimony upon that
point.
