New York, May 2S.-Abashed by the
strange surroundings. an elderly woman
recited part of the Roman Catholic pray
er for the dying In the supreme court,
Brooklyn. yesterday and there was spread
on the court records by the stenographer

that a jury might Judge whether or nos

queathng ner estate. which Is worth

the diocese OF Brooklyn.
Mrs. Coyle. who died March l3. 1902,
and her niece. Mrs. Ellen Kenney. is
suing 10 have the will declared void, on
the ground that II was not signed by Mrs
Coyle. that she had not at the time tes-
tamentary capacity, and that undue IN
nuence was exerted upon her.
1t was Mrs. Mary O'Donnell who re-
cited The prayer In court She was asked
IL Mrs. Coyle had spoken intelligently in
the hours preceding her death.
''She was very weak" said Mrs. o Don
nell, but her mind seemed clear and she
answered the prayers intelligently. The
prayers for the dying began about half
past three o'clock In the afternoon ana
she made the responses until nearly six
In the evening. She died between six
and seven"
When the lawyer asked her TO repeat
some OF the prayers she hesitated a while,
as If feeling that the prayers were out
OF place but when urged she said very
slolemnl.':
THE longest response was probably TO
the Hail Mary We would recite the first
part OF the prayer. and then she would
answer: Holy Mary. mother OF God, pray
for us sinners now and at the hour OF
our death. Amen
Joseph T.. owens. Mrs Coyle's lawyer
testified that she had sent word 10 him
on the day she was dying that she want
ed the will drawn. He said he went TO
her. and she said:
II want TO give everything TO my good
friend. Bishop Mcdonnell"
She said to him that she did not want
TO make n trust. that she desired 10 have
the bequest made outright and absolute,
although she would Ike II II he would
build a new cathedral, In which she and
her daughter. who had died some time
before. could be buried. She had signed
the will with her mark.
The suit is on trial before Judge Gay
