WILLING ALL TO "NELLIE BLY,"
A NEW LAST TESTAMENT OF AGED
ROBERT SEAMAN TURNS UP.
Previous WIN Gave Her $500 Only. but IT'S
OF No Consequence, Says Her Lawyer
-she Got Her Husbands Property In
Bulk Before He Died-Nay He Contest


A will purporting to have been made by
Robert Seaman, president Of the Iron Clad
Manufacturing Company and husband OF
Nellie Bly," once a famous newspaper
sleuth and globe trotter. was filed for pro-
bate yesterday. The will Is dated Nov. 20,
1897, and caused some comment because
of its remarkable difference from the will
dated Dec. "a, 1896, which was filed for pro-
bate on June 10 last In the latter will
wise Nellie Bly," received only q legacy
OF $500, while the bulk Of the large estate
went to other legatees, mainly descend
ants Of Robert Seaman.
The will filed yesterday by Robert ".
Hardie as counsel for Mrs. Seaman, be-
queathes all the testator's property. real
and personal, to his wife, Elizabeth, abso-
utely. This will was witnessed by Carl
Ebbighausen and Alfred Raab. 1t names
Mrs. Seaman as sole executrix.
The prediction was made in the Surro-
gates Court that severe contest will
follow, as the will Of 1895 made large be-
quests to nephews, nieces. grandnephews
and grandnieces. Lawyer Hardie said last
night that he didn't expect any contest at
all. because Mr.. Seaman left very little
property to be cared for by will. Before
his death, Lawyer Hardie said, Mr.. Seaman
had turned over his stock in the Iron Clad
Manufacturing Company and nearly all
his property to his wife, and she has it now.
"The will filed to-day" said Mr. Hardie,
-and the previous will, also, cover only
small tract Of land in the Catskills and some
personal effects. All told, the property
left by Mr.. Seaman at his death does not
amount in value TO more than $1,000.
"This is merely a formal proceeding.
Mrs. Seaman found this second will among
some old papers the other day and brought
It to me. She didn't care anything about
it, but asked my advice about what to do
with it. l told her that the will should
be filed because it was a misdemeanor to
keep will in possession without filing It.
This will was drawn up in Weisbaden,
Germany, while the Seamans were abroad u.
Mr.. Seaman had previously made will,
and he sent to this country for 1t. His
attorney wrote in reply that the other
will had been destroyed, 80 Mrs. Seaman
says. Thsreupon Mr.. Seaman drew up
this second will, which we filed to-day
