ON A WOMAN'S WILL
Distant Relatives Attempt to
Upset the Document by Which

begun a night for the estate. About
twenty Of them filed a notice of

OF contestants, who bring the suit on
conventional grounds, Edith Mabel
Gwen makes the additional charge that
Mrs. Ferris was the victim OF fraud
and deceit by Henry Ferris. her adopted
son. or by Horace E. Mead. Jr.
Most OF the estate was bequeathed to
this adopted son, who was also Mrs.
Ferris's nephew, and his wife, Sarah
F. Ferris. with whom she lived in the
village of Westchester.
Mrs. Ferris was the widow of Clai-
borne Ferris, the richest man in West
chester. She had been eccentrio for
years. and Cranston Hamilton insti-
tuted proceedings which resulted in a
sherff's jury declaring Mrs. Ferris In
competent. Justice Keogh. Of the SUI
preme Court, set this aside. The APP
pellate Division upset Justice Keogh's
decision. and a committee OF her person
ano estate was appointed.
The Will was executed May l6, 1898.
The petition says Mrs. Ferris left no
heirs or next Of kin. her nearest reIa-
dant5 OF other cousins. These are scat
tered over six States.
