EXECUTORS MAKE ANSWER.
Give Their Construction of Disputed
Clause in HandIcy Will.

Answer was yesterday made by the
executors of the Handley estate to the
complaint of Dr. D. b. Hand, guardian
of George f.. Walden, one of the boys
being educated at the expense of the
estate whose claim for an allowance
for board clothing, washing, etc, was
denied by the executors.
The executors say these items do not
fail within the order and direction of
the testator The clause of the will
bearing on the subject is quoted as fol-
lows: ITO continue paying the eX
penses Of each boy and girl that | may
have at school or college at the time
Of my death" At the time of the death
of the testator he was not paying for
the board, lodging, washing, clothing,
etc. of the Walden boy.
The viii of the testatur does not con-
template the payment of board, lodg-
ing, etc, to the parent of a boy or girl
nor for the clothing of boy or girl
living with his or her parents. Again
it is urged these items are not in
Cluded in the former order of January
3, 1895.
