Relating to the Bryans,
Alleging Undue In
flupncP.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. DIN
cross examination in the probate court
William j. Bryan testified that the
sealed letter mentioned in the will of
the late Philo s. Bennett of New York
and this city was Il request that Mr..
Bryan should accept 100000, of which
$4,000 was to be given to Mrs. Bryan
and $4,000 invested for their three
children, who were to receive $1,000
each when Mr.. Bryan thought it wise.
The letter was opened by the court. but
was not read publicly.
The mystery of the sealed envelope
mentioned in the will of the hate Phi.o
S. Bennett of this city WAS thus un-
raveled in the probate court. Mr.. Ben
nett, the testatOr, was Il New York
merchant and a meilber of the firm of
Bennett 4 Sloan. lie was killed in a
sta@ecoach accident in IDAHO.
The sealed envelope which has been
in til" custody of the Mercantile Trust
comp ny of New York was produced
in court. Mrs. Bennett. the widow, re-
fused TO open the envelope. The court
took official cognizance of the docu-
ment and tore it open, giving counsel
an opportunity to read its provisions.
In the document William J. Bryan is
given $4,000, with the request HAT he
give Mrs. Bryan $4,000 and $4,000
to the Bryan children.
Mrs. Bennett will contest that part
Of the will which %bequeaths part of her
husbands estate to the organs.
1t is reported she will allege undue
influence on the part of the organs
upon her husband.
Mr.. Bryan said that not one cent of
the money would he allow either his
wife or his children to receive unless
Mrs. Bennett were willing. He, how
ever. did intend to ask the court to de-
eide the validity of the Request, so that
in case it was declared legal he could
distribute the money among education
al and charitable institutions.
When Mr.. Bryan's statement had
been concluded Judge Staadard said
that the will would b2 kested by
Mrs. Bennett if Mr.. pught to
