MISS TORRES DEFEATED.
Henri Windell's Will Construed
Against Her bv J,1dg, Coffev

When Henri Windell ran his pen
through the clause in his will, bequeath-
ing his household furniture located at his
late home, Burrell street, and $4,000 to
Marion Torres, daughter of the late Gen
eral Torres, and substituted the name of
Constance Hohle, he defeated one of his
own plans.
The hearing to determine the construc-
ton of the will terminated yesterday be-
fore Judge. Coffey, and the court held
that the effort of the testator to disin-
herit Miss Torres was successful, it be-
Ing apparent that he did not wish her
to receive the legacies first Incorporated
in the will. The attempt of the testator
to substitute Miss Hohle. however. the
court found was Intellectual, the legal eX-
ecution being deficient. Consequently un-
der Judge Coffey's ruling the bequests
revert to the estate. The court also held
that the attempt of the deceased to re-
duce a bequest of $4,000 to his sister Maria
Dorothea Geerdts, to $4,000 could not hold.
as the testator simply ran his pen
through the figures $4,000 and substituted
the figures $4,000 in pencil, instead of re-
volling the words which govern the fig
ures-four thousand dollars-and rewrit-
ing the request.
The loss of the bequest is a great hard
ship to Miss Torres. She cared for the
dead man many months prior to his
death, and it was owing to her kindness
to him that the deceased made the origi-
