Has Decided In His Favor.

His Parishiouers Declare Mgr. Satoll1
Has Decided In His Favor
The parishioners of St. Mary's Star OF
the Sea Church of Bayonne were juoiiant
last evening over the victory won by
their rector. Rev. Thomas NJ killeen. IN
his controversy with Bishop Wigger.
He charged the Bishop with arbi-
trariiy closing St. Thomas Church, the
succursal chapel of ST. Mary's aud annex
ing that portion of ST. Mary's parish to
the parish of st. Henry's (German)
Church.
Although they refused to tell what
authority they had for their statements,
they asserted that Father klileen naa
favorable decision from Monslgnor
Satolli.
Father Killeen, when interviewed last
night, said that he would have nothing 60
say for publication until the decision was
given to the public by either the judge
Mgr. Satolli, or Bishop Wigger.
Father Killeen visited Seton Hall Col-
lege in South Orange yesterday and saw
Bishop Wigger. What passed between
them is not known. A reporter saw
Father Killeen on his way from the COLI
lege. He said smilingly that he had
called simply to pay his respects to the
Bishop.
"Will St. Thomas's Church be reopen
ed?' asked the reporter.
s'Oh, / guess that will be all right, was
Father Killeen's reply.
Bishop Wigger was met on the streeE
In front of Seton Hall College by re-
porter yesterday.
"Will you give the purport of Mgr.
Satolli's decision in the st. Thomas'S
Church case?" the reporter asked.

Bishop.
is it not fact that you have Just re-
ceived the decision from Mgr. Satolli J"
''1 have nothing to say" again ras
sponded the Bishop. Then he addedt II
would like to give the information you
desire, but you think the safest plan Tor
me is 10 say nothing about the matterW
SIS it true that you intend to open the
church at Bayonne within few weeksf"
"I cannot say" was the Bishops
answer.
Father Killeen's visit to DR.. Burtsell, it
is said, was to show the doctor a letter
he had received from Mgr. Sstold
sustaining the charges against
Bishop Wigger. The letter is
said to have stated that st. Thomas's
Church, in Bergen Point, positively will
be opened, and that if the Germans living
there cannot support ST. Henry's Church
it will be- attached either to st. Thomas's
or to st. Mary's in Bayonne, of which
Father Killeen is pastor.

The Wonderful Will Justice Himmeriscf
Concocted for MIR. Ockert.

Concocted for MIR. Ockert.
Surrogate O'Neil has under considera-
ton curious case which will bring Q
light the domestic life Of number I
persons.
Max Ockert some time ago died. He
had lived at Spring ard Lake streets,
West Hoboken, and owned store ana
boarding house. After his death 5he fol-
lowing will was offered for probate. IL
was dated October %, 1885,
Item-In case my wife will dying before me,
so has nobody from her parents. relations,
friends whatsoever, no claim on all my real es-
tate, personal or any other property what now
is, or will be- in my and my wife's possession.
ltem-lt is the understanding that when !
lives longer than my wife, then how to max an
other last will that the remains of all prop erty
what soever after my dead will properly divided
and equally given share and share alike to
m1 snS wife do wd snd will fa% do That as alter
decease the whole remain of proper rty or what
ever has equally described to her and my
family or relations
Signed, published and declared by the said
Max Ockert to be his last will in she presence of
us who were present at the time and subScrib ed
our names as witnesses in the presence Of the
testator.
The will was signed by Max Ockert
and Witnessed by Henry Himmerisch nd
Ernest M. Symes.
Ockert, when he had this valuable ac-
quisition to English literature prepared,
employed Justice H1mmeriSch OF West
HoDoken to do the job. The Justice is an
artist in English, and the above quoted
will was the result of his exclusive skill.
Since it has been made publics people
have ceased to wonder at the sudden
death of the testator. He did not, how
ever, die until after his wife departed for
her eternal home, and then it is alleged
ne left wife in Germany whom no one
In this country supposed to exist. Then
wife No. q or, as she claims, No. 1, wrote
| to Frank Gallery. who had been appointed
executor by the Surrogate few days
/ ago. and made inquiries about the for
tune of Mr.. OckerG and declared that she
was entitled to portion of it.
She will fight for what she claims to be
| her rights in the low courts. Some rela-
| tives of the dead wife who live in Brook
| lyn also want a portion of the $4,000, and
| they have served a notice on the admins
traitor to that effect.

THE SINNET CASE.
Opening of the Testimony in the VIII Con.

The introduction of the testimony
in the Sinnet Will case was COM
menced in the circuit court yester-
day afternoon. The first evidence
was that introduced by the defense in
the probate record of the county
court. showing the admission to pro-
bate of the contested will. The de-
Tense then rested for the present.
when the complainants began the sub
mission of testimony. The gen
eral drift of the evidence so far adj
duced was to show that from the time
Mr.. Sinnet was stricken with cerebral
paralysis on Nov. 10. 1885, until his
death, Dee. p. and including the
time the will was made-No1 25--he
was OF unsound mind. Numerous
witnesses were introduced to show
that during this interval he failed to
recognize his family and best friends
and was the most of the time in
continual stupor. Chief of the wit
nesseS brought forth was DR.. Calvin
Truesdale. who testified this morn
inc that Mr. Sinnet was from the
time of his attack. Nov. 10. until the
day of his death, in condition Of
stupor from which he could only be
aroused by repeated efforts and that
this was characteristic OF the dis
ease, which he pronounced senile de-
cay with marked impairment OF the
mental faculties.
