INSANITY IS ALLEGED.
Attempt to Break the Will of the Late
Mrs. Bevan.

The property of the late Rev. DR..
Bevan who founded the now flourish
ing Penn Avenue Baptist church. back
in the sixties, was the bone of conten-
ton in contested will case before
Register w. 8. Hopkins yesterday
afternoon.
When DR.. Bevan died he decreed that
his property should go to his Wife. Mrs.
Mary l.. Bevan. and at her death to
his daughter Miss Mary f. Bevan. The
mother died recently and in her will,
written by her own hand, she cuts off
her daughter with only the real es-
tate, which, of course, she could not
deprive her of. and leaves all the per-
sOnal property, with the exception of
81. 900. bequeathed to a nephew, X. l..
Lewis: to charities. such as the Home
for the Friendless, 80 East Twenty
ninth street, New York: the Society
for the Education of Colored Persons:
the Baptist Publication society, in
Philadelphia, and to various home and
foreign missionary societies.
The daughter brings a contest al
leging that the mother was insane and
that the best evidence of her insanity
is found in the fact that she gave to
strange persons what was rightfully
the property of her daughter. who had
always cared for her and to whom she
was devotedly attached.
Attorney A. ID. Dean represents the
contestant and Attorney Milo Wilson
defends the will.
