TO BREAK A QUEER WILL.
Decedent Swore He Would Make S2OC,-
600, but Died Too Soon.

Decedent Swore He Would Make $780,
600, but Died Too Soon.
"The richest workingman in New Jer->
sey" was what all his acquaintances
called George Beesley, who died a few
days ago at his home in Paterson, N. J.,
but hardly any one imagined that he
was worth $4,000. Such was the
case, however, and now there is every
prospect that lawyers, his pet abom.
nation, will get a share of the estate.
Should such an untoward result ensue
it will be all due to Beesley's eXtraor-
binary will, which the heirs have de-
cided on trying to break. A number Of
years ago, when Beesley was black
smith in the Rogers Locomotive Works,
he swore that before he died he should
be worth 100000. About year ago
his health began to fail and as yet his
fortune was not more than $4,000.
Ere long he realized that he was not
destined to carry out the provisions of
his oath, but he did what he regarded
as the next best thing. He tied his
money up by will, restricting his chill
dren to the merest pttance until the
estate should be worth 100000, as he
had originally planned. Much Of his
investment had been in gilt-edged but
low-interest stocks, and the heirs have
come to the conclusion that the law
will give them speedy access to COM
fort which without its help would be
long postponed. Hence the attempt to
break the remarkable will. An un.
usual feature of the contest is that the
two girl heirs object to their fathers
discrimination against their brother
and insist that he shall have a share
of the estate equal to theirs.
Beesley, who was at once a miser and
a money lender in his late years, SEEM
ed to think Of nothing but adding dol
lar to dollar and determined that. "a
he had lived without luxuries. his chill
dren should follow in his steps. In
Beesley's home the food was of the
simplest. Oil for the lamps was meas

weighed according to a schedule. II

and sudden rise in railroad stocks, n
large block of which he had acquired
as collateral forfeited, made him indie
pendent. Then he invested most of his
wealth in safe securities and waited
for the realization which his death pre-
vented.

Mr.. Clayton's in its magnitude.

wife was very young and very lovely;
