eepted the news in good faith. An
executor was appointed, and in due
time he disposed of the dead mans
estate and divided the cash among
several heirs who straightway spent
it. The other day Low had the un-
mitigated meanness to appear in New
ark to the great discomfort OF his heirs
and the disgust of the executor. The
unwelcome visitor is raising a row
aboat his estate, and threatens the
executor with law suit. 1t is not
