WIDOWS WILL CONTESTED.

in the surrOGate's Court.

In the SurrOgate's Court.
A contest has been begun in the Sur
rogates Court over the will Of the late
Mrs. Mary +. McLarney. who died in
April last, leaving a considerable es-
tate.
Mrs. -McLarney. who was formerly q
Miss Phelan. married In 1877 Edward P.
Brophy. On July %. 1884. she made a
will leaving the bulk of her estate to
her brothers. James J. and Michael r.
to her husband $50 a month during his
life time. The brothers were given
discretion to reduce the amount at any
time.
MIR. Brophy died soon after the will
WAS made and while she was a widow
Mrs. Brophy executed codicil to her
estate to her brothers and several neph-
ews and giving 500 to St. Vincent's
Hospital and the Little Sisters OF the
Poor.
In the original will she had given
$500 To Rev. Martin J. Brophy. priest
OF the Church OF the Sacred Heart.
on Feb. S last. Mrs Brophy married
third street. She died In April last with
out having changed her will.
The will has been offered for probate
by the brothers. but Mr. McLarney con-
tests the will on the ground that the
will made when Mrs. Brophy was the
wife Of II. +. Brophy and the codicil
executed while she was widow. were
both made invalid by her marriage to
him. This gives rise to an interesting
legal point.
