MR.. YEATMAN'S ESTATE
PETITION OF NELLIE FARLEY
FOR A SHARE IN IT.
She Explains Her Relations With De-
ceased and His Promise to
Provide for Her.

The death of Colonel William S. Yeatman,
formerly disbursing officer of the War De-
partment, and the claims against the es-
tate presented by Nellie Farley, have been
recalled by petition filed late yesterday
afternoon in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, asking the court to direct
the specific performance of contract. Will
liam B. Yeatman, Florence May Benton,
Edith M. LIE Conte and Arthur H. Yeat-
man, as next of kin of the deceased, and
Martin R. Thorp, as administrator, are
named defendants. The petitioner is repre-
sented by Attorney James B. Green.
1t is set forth that about January 10,
1893, Nellie Farley met Col Yeatman, and
from that time until his sudden death at
York, Pa, April 20, 1901, close friendship
existed between them. 1t is stated that
under an agreement between the two she
saw him. at his request, daily. She went
driving with him nearly every pleasant
afternoon. They dined together, and she
did all of the mending of his small apparel.
She sent his lunch to him, which was al
ways prepared at his direction, and con-
sisted of food selected by him. She attend
ed to his laundry and bore the expense of
the same, as she did of the meals furnished
him.
Agreed to Leave Her Everything.
1t is added that the deceased required and
had her company every evening from D
o'clock until about II o'clock. All of this,
explains the petitioner, was done at the re-
quest of Col. Yeatman, and upon the agree
ment between them, made April q, 1898,
that he would execute a will leaving her
everything he possessed upon his death.
Col. Yeatman, SO it is declared, stated to
the petitioner and to others in her presence
that he had made a will leaving to her
everything he possessed
According to the petitioner, Col. Yeatman
told her that all he cared for in this life
was her companonship, and agreed that if
she would be a companion to him and de-
vote such time to his company he should
require for driving theaters, conversation
and the like he would leave her everything
he possessed when he should die. The
court is further informed that the petitioner
was engaged to marry Col. Yeatman.
The estate of the deceased consists of
personal property amounting to about
10000, so says the petitioner, which is now
in the hands of Thorp as administrator,
and is about to be distributed in a manner
prejudicial to her rights under the alleged
agreement.
The petitioner prays that the court will
compel specific performance of the con-
tract to make a will"

Washington, Dec" 22.-The question of
the effect of murder upon a life insurance
policy when issued upon the life Of the
murdered was to-day passed upon by the
United States supreme court in an opin-
ion delivered by Justice Brewer. The case
in which the opinion was delivered was
that Of S. M. Burt VS.. The Union Central
Life Insurance company. William E. Burt
{ Of Travis county, Tex, was the name OF
the man insured.
His policy was made payable to his
wife, Anna M. Burt, and in case of her
death. to his executors. During the fol-
lowing year Burt's wife died and he after
wards was charged with her murder and
was found guilty and executed. After
wards the heirs Of the estate made an eff
fort to collect upon the policy but the in.
surance company resisted payment The
lower courts, including the court of ap-
peals for the fifth circuit, sustained the
protest of the company and to-day's opin.
ion affirmed the decision of the court Of
appeals, holding the policy invalid on the
ground that to sanction payment under
the circumstances would be contrary tt
