The affairs have been under considera-

Mr.. Lawton's brother at Newark re-

at Newark street. and was mentioned
In the The News at the time. was aware
OF the fact that fortune awaited him
I'm England. and had been for years. but
as he had some difficulty In his army life.

a short time ago. and then he was too
feeble to make the trip.
The entire fortune belonged TO the
senior Lawton but since his death mat
ters have been Strengthened out and the
fortune is now being divided between the
sons and one daughter.
William has for years been employed
at the Roger Screen company. and has
always alluded TO what he would be and
do some day. so much so that some or
his fellow workmen supposed that 1t was
only a flight OF Imagination.
Mr. Lawton is a very social fellow, well
liked, and no one will be sorry that he,
his wife and the pretty children are
about to fall into fortune.
