another miserable member of the Rich
ardson family.
Matthew Richardson, half-brother OF
the dead millionaire. lives in Brooklyn. He
is mechanic, and has miseries OF his own.
He is an inventor ON small scale and
wants to run the elevated roads with hy-
draulic power from the Hudson river.

about the world who. doubtless. carry the
family trademark of misery, but they do
not figure in the will.
The VIII Contest Misery.
In will, made in 1894. Joseph Rich
ardson divided his fortune equally between
George and Delariffa Richardson, his two
children. His wife was ignored.
At his death will, made last April, was
found. 1t divided the property, with the
exception Of a small side bequest. equally
between his two children and his wife.
The two children at once began a contest
for the wifes third. Mrs. Della Maxwell
the California cook, having heard of the
death Of her uncle. and knowing that her
father had loaned him money many years
ago, has come on to New York for the
purpose Of contrasting the will and recover

Brooklyn, having discovered what he con-
sders to be a third will, executed In 1885,
In which he is mentioned as a beneficiary

So the misery laden Richardson's are
flocking from all directions to take part
in the grand struggle for old Joseph Rich
ardson's millions. 1t viii be one of The
most notable contests In the histor, Of New
