g., CONTESTING w. B. OGDEN'S WILL
NEPHEws AND NIECES DISSATISFIED WITH
LARGE CHARITABLE REQUEST.

LARGE CHARITABLE REQUEST
suit has been begun in the supreme court lor
f,dicial construction of clause of the VIII OF william
H. Ogden who died in 1877. The will was executed III
March 1876 and it contains clause which Is similar
TO the famous "trust clause" in the Will OF samuel Dc
Tiiden According to the provisions of the WILL the
testators property, which IS said to be worm hoe
than S4OOOOO0, is to be divided into twenty equA
shares. One and one-haf Of these shares are 10 10
held in trust and the income is TO be devoted to snch
charitable uses . majority OF my eA-
ecntors and trustees elect and appoint during me
lives of the testator's widow aud Edward l.. Sheldon
At the death of both Mrs. Ogden and MIS- Sheidoh
II is provided that the principal OF the one ana one
half shares Is to be disposed Of In the same manner
This principal would amount to about $3OO,OOO Inc
executors named in the will are the widow, Edward l..
Sheldon ". o. Wheeler. Of Chicago ". f. strong ana
AnSrcw II. Green. The suit is brought by huhiDer
of the nephcws and nieces of William b. ogden against
the executors and trustees named.
The case came on for trial before Judge Patterson
in the Supreme Court Special Tern Part l. Yesterday
hut nothing more than the documentary evidence was
introduced the case being adjourned for two weeks.
The plaintiffs declare that the clause in which the
charitable bequest made is too vague ana substitutes
the will CT the executors for that OF the testator
For that reason they declare that IL , cannos
declare that the bulk of the property Is In Illinois ana
Neversey ana that in those states the clause wouo
he valid and as there Is enough property In this state
TO cover the charitable bequests the Will ought to be
peared for the Contestants and exsurrosate Kohs 1or
fhe executors.
