SHARES IN WIFE'S PROPERTY
Surrogate Holds That Legal Separation
Does Not AFFECT Property Rights.

NEwpuRGH. Feb. s.~-Surrogate Howell Of
| Orange county has decided an interesting
case. Asa John Williams and Sarah j.
Williams were separated legally thirty years
ago, but not divorced. 1t is alleged that the
separation was the result of the husbands
intemperance. Mrs. Williams had several
small children to rear, and besides doing
this accumulated a small fortune by keeping
a boarding house and speculating in real
estate. The husband during all this time,
never. il Is alleged, contributed a cent
toward the support and education OF the
children.
In May last Mrs. Williams died at Walden
and left about s23. 600 ia real and personal
property. Her will left this TO her three
children. and the appraisers refused TO set
off any of the property to the husband, on
the ground that he was not a member of
the family. He brought suit, and his
attorney contended that, Notwithstanding
the decree of separation, the bonds of
matrimony continued, and that the property
rights between the couple were in nowise
affected by such separation. The Surro-
gate so holds, and the husband gets a share
of the property.
