Legal Complications for the Surro-
gate to Pass Upon.

An application for the appointment of

before Surrogate Abbott, in Brooklyn, to-

value of more than 800, 600. She made a
will leaving all to her husband.
The day following Constance was born.
Her mother died shortly afterwards and
Winsor had the will probated. He men,
toned the existence of the child, but
neglected to say that she was born
after the will was executed.
He converted the real estate into
cash and remarked. BY his second
marriage he had one child.
A year ago Winsor committed suicide
at the Astor House by shooting himself
while in bed. He left will bequeathing
his property to his second wife, and ap-
pointing her guardian of the two chill
dren.
Some of the friends of the first wife
do not think that justice has been done
little Constance, and Mr.. and Mrs. John
r. Totten applied to be appointed as
her guardian. Mrs. Winsor No. 2 made
a similar application.
Surrogate Abbott listened to the evil
dence on both sides to-day, and reserved
his decision.
