THE GILMAN WILL,
An important Hearing Before
Judge Peabody.

An important hearing has been in progress
before Judge Peabody of the Probate Court
Tor the past two days in regard to the validi-
~ OF the will Of George Gilman, lately de-
ceased. Mr.. Gilman died in April last and
left an estate a part of which he had disposed
oil to his children previously, and part by
the provisions of the will in litigation.
The contestants, the children of the de-
ceased, make claim that undue influence was
used in the disposition of the property by
will in so far as it relates to that portion Civ
en- to Vaughan street church, and to Miss
Miller. who was employed to take care of
Mr.. Gilman in his last illness as he had no
wife living. The gist of the evidence offered
by the contestants was that offered by DR..
A. V. Thompson, who said that Mr.. Gilman
was suffering from Bright's disease and
heart trouble, and that he had conditions OF
extreme debility, both mental and physical
in which condition it might be possible to
induce him to act in accordance with the
wishes of any vigorous mind acting upon
him.
The counsel for the legatees under the dis
puted will commended that while Mr.. Gilman
grew feeble from age and disease his mind
remained clear to within few days of his
decease, and in the evidence Rev. Mr.. Leila
cheur, as witness, testified he never in any
way influenced the deceased in the pos
session of his property.
The arguments were made in the. after
| noou and the case is held under advisement
Ssasey and JudgeSymonds appeared for the
contestants, and Fl. and w. j. Knowlton fol
the will.

Several More Stores Entered by
Thieves.

Thursday night burglars broke into the
shop of Michael Spruin. No. 166 Danforth
street. They first broke window down
stairs but could no: get in ON account of OBJ
jects piled against the window ON the inside.
Then they procured a ladder. entered Sec
ond story window and descended to the
shop below, where they stole a quantity of
leather worth over $25. There was con-
siderable sum of money in the shop but the
burglars failed to find it, Mr.. Spruin lost
$500 in the Middle street fire few night ago
and this additional loss is hard fortune IN
deed.
Browns shoe store in Market Square was
entered, the burglars getting admission by
forcing the fastening off rear window.
They broke the money drawer to pieces in
their efforts to open it, but got less than 80
cents for their pains.
An attempt was made to enter the adjoin-
ing store of ii. S. Kaler & Co. A window
shows plainly the marks of the tools which
were used, but the fastening proved too
strong.
