be remembered that about one year
ago Mr.. Farwell died, leaving an es-

wife or children Among the provisions
of the will is the following: Il give

was said to have married a man by the
name of Wasgate, and now known as
Jennie F. Wood and now living at

resided at Rockland, and that. in the
absence of wife and children, was the
natural heir to the whole estate Mr.
Farwell had a housekeeper named
Mary a. Lord. to whom he willed SIS

claimant that this housekeeper used
undue influence over Mr.. Farwell,
which, if proved, may be cause for
breaking the will. There was also a
residuary clause which doubtless can
not be fulfilled, and which may go to
the claimant. if she is legal heir pro-
