month at the age of 81 and left an estate
valued a sl25.Oo0.
Some $4,000 was found when his will
was prOhated 20 have been left TO chari-
ties. The chief benehclanies are the
Rhode Island hospital The Old Ladies'
home. OF this city. and the Second Bap-
tist church and St Msry's church Of

peculiar ones. his relatives say, for the

should be used for the maintenance OF "A
burial lot at Smithfield that is not worth
over $40
The testator had lived for good while
In East Providence. His home was taken
care OF by a housekeGper
The reasons of appeal state that Mr.
Mowry when he made his will was not
OF sufficient mental capacity TO make a
will and that when he made the instrtI-
ment wrongfully admitted TO probate he
was subject TO undue influence and the
will was not his but that OF another per-
son. Besides the parties named as an
