William II. Hughes recently
died at Rock Hall, Kent county,
and made a will disposing of his
estate, valued at $4,000, to his
heirs In varying amounts, but to
his son, John and daughter Henri

estate. The latter held a confer
ence and decided that the Others
were as much entitled to the estate
as themselves, and the result was a
filing of a paper in which the
whole estate was divided into six
equal parts. The paper was signed
by all the parties concerned
John II. Hughes, Henrietta

number being Paul Reed, colored,
serving a life sentence for the mur.
der of "Billy the Joker", at Chesa
