! TO my Wife, Abigail M. Hitler, give all my property and estate of every nature and description, both per sonal and otherwise, and including all which I now have, and all which may hereafter acquire, to be hers forever, and I direct that no inventory or ap- praisal be made of my household fur niture and all other moyables in the house where l may be living at my de- cease, but that an estimate of their value in the gross shall be sufficient for all purposes of an inventory and appraisal; and I further direct that, in case have any moro children born to me after this date, this will shall not thereby be rendered void and inopera- tive. And do hereby nominate Abi- gail M. Hitler to be executrix of my last will"
 The inventory and appraisal of Jon- athan Hiller's estate, thus passed by the will to the mother of Maxcy and Charles Hitler and Sarah Hitler, now Mrs. Edwards and widow of the mur- dered man, was filed on March 2, 1862. Luzon B. Morris, afterward governor of Connecticut, was then judge of pro- { bate There were no other children. The living children were all born be- ! tween 1844 and the testators death. The items of the inventory and ap- praisal are on the real estate: House and lot on College street, house and lot corner of Chapel and High streets, lot on east side of High street, houses on Union street and Martin street, corner of Garden, and lot on the Hamden road. The last three places are not now listed in the tax collectors office. The per- sonal estate was: Six New York, New Haven and Hartford bonds at 92, S5,52Q; five New Haven and Northampton
 bonds at 97, $4,750; forty-fiye shares of City bank, $4,5OO; thirty-five shares of Quinnipiac bank (now the Yale bank), $3,500; 175 shares County bank, $1,400:
 forty-two shares Merchants bank $1,- S90; seventeen shares Mechanics bank, SLAB; twenty-five shares City Gas,
 $750; thirty-six shares New York, New
 Haven and Hartford railroad, $2,16O;
 ten United States three-year treasury,
 $1,000; loans out on mortgage, $2,500;
 household furniture, $500. All these in- vestments have increased in value.
 If Mrs. Abigail Hitler who died sew eral months ago. left will, and any of her family had knowledge of it, they are violating the law in not informing { the court of probate. The law states 1 that the will must be returned to the court within thirty days after the death of the person making the will The penalty for neglecting the law in this manner may be a fine of $1,000 and a jail sentence of one year. If an exeeu- tor of a will withholds the probating he also violates law.
 Attorney George D, Watrous, who l has represented the Edwards family since the death of Mrs. Hitler, said on Saturday that he did not care to discuss the matter, and that he had given no statement out for publication. He ad- mitted that he had been consulted with 1 reference to the legal aspects of the matter after the death of Mrs. Hitler, but knew nothing about the recent de- velopments in the case.
 MT. Watrous stated that the coroner propably could open the unopened safe at the Hitler homestead of his own vni- his knowledge
 The safe is supposed to contain pa- pers of importance in connection with the estate of the late Mrs. Hitler. It is also stated that the authorities believe that documentary evidence showing I.o,, !, odY tr ri- ous heirs will be found when the safe is opened.
 Ever since the murder Charles A. Hitler never has been out of sight of the police This has been managed so well that even the men who saw him daily never connected him with the presence of a policeman in plain clothes always within sight.
 Judge Hitler is a hard man to inter view in New Haven. When, for in- stance, he left the secret inquest being conducted by Coroner Mix he said that he was under an inhibition from Mix which made it impossible for him to say word. Some reporters tried to get at him later at his home, the house where the murder was done. Judge Hitler came to the door and said:
 Reporters, I can say nothing"
 Gan you refer us to counsel?" asked one of those who questioned him.
 "No, have no counsel" said Judge Hitler. Why should r"
 As he closed the door the reporters saw at his elbow and recognized a de- tective of the New Haven force. It was only then that it was realized that I Charles A. Hitler is as much under of l f1cial observance as his brother Maxcy, who is still dogged from bedroom to 1 breakfast table and in all his walks abroad by the police, who say that whatever they are doing in this case is done by the positive order of Coroner Mix
 This makes two members of the Hitler family who are not accused, but treated as persons who may be accused. Maxcy Hitler, Judge Charles A. Hiller's bYoth CT, is not able to retire for moment to any room where policeman's eye is not upon him. He cannot have a con- versation with his wife on a topic the most remote from this mystery unless the law, in the person of a detective, is at hand to hear it,
 Throughout the inquiry nothing has been said by Maxcy Hitler to cause an inference that he believes his brother Charles to be the guilty one. Charles | has said nothing publicly against his
