left will bequeathing to q commits
sion the principal part of his fortune
with the provision that q home for
aged men Of his faith should be
founded. The will was contested,
and recent decision of the court Of
appeals sustained the will.
The Very Rev. Father Michael
Bouchet, vicar general Of the Roman
Catholic diocese Of Louisville, and a
member of the board Of directors Of
the home, said yesterday:
1--WE have received no official notice
Of favorable decision of the suit, and
no mention of transfer Of the Leary
home has been made in the board
meetings. I do not know the amount
of money involved, and cannot put
an estimate ON the amount the home
will receive. 1t is probable that an.
other location will be provided for the
home in case there is sufficient money,
but where or when cannot say. 1t
