Mr. Law died intestate. far as the hers and his
attorneys. John NJ Scribner and John Hardy had
been able to ascertain
The question then came up. Who would naturally
be the one 10 apply FOR letters OF administration?
1t was SAID both sides of the family interests
that the widow would be the one and not the SIS

The case has gone over. and the question now
arises TO whether the Surrogate will decide the
