 Probate Court-Judge Cleaveland. The wills of Michael Conway, which < has been contested by nephew, was
 sustained and admitted to probate yes- 5terday by Judge Cleaveland. MT. Con- { way left about $1O,OO0 and made will ! a week before his death, in which he gave practically all of it to his widow, Ia second wife
 x He gave Rev. Father Mulholland $50 Afor masses, and one or two other be- 3quests, but the balance of the property eawas given to Mrs. Conway. Michael 'sConway, jr., nepshew, and the heir #at-law, contested the will upon two 9l grounds. He first contended that one sof the witnesses, Alice Murnane, being Aunder fourteen years of age, was not a Acompetent witness to the execution of a Twill and, secondly, that MT. Conway Twas not of sound mind when he execut- Ned the will.
 \ Judge Cleaveland found that the pri- sma facie presumption of the incompe Htency of the child under fourteen years e1of age was overcome by the appearance sAof the witness in court. He also found sthat Mr. Conway was of sound and gSdisposing mind and memory. The will Iswas therefore admitted to probate. HESITATE OF FLORENCE DALEY.
