AN OLD ROMANCE
IN WILL CONTEST
Nephew OF Miss Haskell Seeks to
Change Her Dying
Plans.

TAUNTON, MASS. April 23.-The
will of Miss E;ugenia L. Haskell was
offered for probate in the Probate Court
before Judge Chamberlain, and there
was disclosed romantic story. She
was ninety-fve years of age when her
body was for.~1 in the barn on her
estate at Rochester. She had gone
there to feed the stock. and died among
her cows.
Her father was wealthy, and lived
in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
irgton, where she was reigning belle
on account of her remarkable beauty.
Her grandfather was aide-de- carsp to
General George Washington in the
Revolutionary War. 1t Is related of
her that she refused as many as fifty
proposals of marriage.
Many years ago, when she came TO
the Haskell mansion at Rochester to
live. her father employed Don Jose
Dc Silviera. Portuguese OF good birth.
Mr.. Haskell died. but the Portuguese
and his wife remained in charge OF the
house for Miss Haskell. Later the
wife of the Portuguese left him and
returned TO the Azores. A divorce fol-
lowed. and he took second wife.
It was shown in the court that Miss
Haskell left two wills, both leaving the
bulk of her property to George II. Sill
yiera. Notice was filed that the will
is to be contested by j. ". C. Haskell,
OF Chicago. nephew of Miss Haskell

Or attempted robberies committed in
broad daylight. apparently by the same
person, described in one instance as a
negro wearing blue striped coat.
So far as could be learned. the thief
entered three places during the late
afternoon. securing $50 in one, being
frightened off from the second, and
securing a pair of trousers to dress
suit in the third. leaving consider
able assortment of other clothing after
hurried exit. The daring of the
thief was cause for general amaze

the man calmly climbed to gas lamp

turned off the light. Then, while there
was still enough daylight left to make
him plainly visible to persons in adj

sight, walked up a long yard and by
means of a shed climbed through a
rear window into room occupied by
one of the gentlemen who resided in
the house.
parlors, and during the entire time the
thief was in the place three young
ladies were in the back paror, within
few feet of the man.
The latter, apparently, went through
the intervening room, saw the young
ladies', retraced his steps, locked him.
self in the bedroom, and proceeded to
ransack it, A sister of the young man
who occupied the room tried to open the
door. but felt that the knob was being
held on the other side. Thinking some
member of the household was within,
she took little note of this, but when it
was later discovered that the door was
locked, her suspicious We're aroused. The
door was finally opened, and the place
was found in much disorder-bureau
drawers hanging open, and the contents
of the wardrobe being scattered about.
A single pair Of trousers was missing.
Why the man took these and left the
others is a mystery, unless he was fright
ened off when the door was tried the first
time.
Officers of the Second Police District
inspected the place and reported that the
robber had appeared short time before
at two other places nearby. They are
diligently at work on the case and hope
to land the man. who is believed to be
responsible for certain other robberies
