PROVIDENCE, r. Nov. 2S.-
The recent death of Mrs. Feitro Vic
ciene and the settlement of her es-
tate have revealed queer state of
affairs. Two men petitioned for ap-
poinement as administrators. One
was her husband; the other was
Frank Barren, her lover. The hus-
band admitted that after discovering
the relations which existed between
his wife and Barren, he sold her to
the lover for $3.50. Afterward, it is
claimed, Barren paid another Italian
Sl5 to personate Vicciene, and di-
vorce was granted to Mrs. Vicciene.
The courts thought Barren had the
best claim to the woman's estate
and he received the appointment.
