Bridget Sweeney
Will is OverruIed
by Judge Leslie
Last Testament of the Hermit Does
Not Pass Muster of the
Court.

The viii Of the late Bridget sweeney has
been Overruled by the decision Of County
Judge Leslie and will not be admitted to
probate. The property Of Mrs. Sweeney,
which was left to Mrs. Peter O'MaIley OF
escheat to the state.
Mrs. Sweeney and her husband were
found by the police two years ago in a
shanty in the south part Of town, starving
and half crazed, but with 5000 in the eel
lar. They were both put into a hospital
and Mr.. Sweeney died. Mrs. Sweeney was
under medical care at st. Joseph's and
Edward F. Leary was appointed by the
county court to act as her guardian. The
O'Mslleys offered to take her into their
home and the guardian allowed them $40 a
month for her care. After she had been
there three months a bill for $500 was re-
turned by Mrs. O'Malley, which the court
refused. and $3.50 was allowed instead.
More than $1,000 which was added to her
property was turned over by her attorney,
J. J. O'Connor, and Mrs. O'Malley was i'm
mediately given possession or this. May 8
Mrs. Sweeney died and a will was found
which had been made after she entered
the home of the O'Malleys. and it turned
over the bulk OF the 5000 to Mrs. O'Malley.
Judge Leslie held that Mrs. Sweeuey's
mind never was clear after the time she
was first taken into custody, as the dis
ease from which she was suffering had
gradually impaired her mental faculties
and for that reason she was incapable of
making a legitimate will. AS she had no
legal heirs the property reverts to the state.

Meisinger did not see him approach the
house, but she heard him inside and run
ming TO the kitchen door she saw him in

Madrid, Noy. t5.--The damage Of
Government In Spain resembles In ono
respect that which took place In
France when NJ. Ciemenceau was sue
ceeded by M. BRAND 1t was occa-
stoned by want Of tact on the part OF
one of the ministers who was supported
by his colleagues. An attack on the
opposition was thought to have been
conveyed In needlessly inconsidernbic
language, and the Government expiateu
by resignation the error OF Judgment
committed In It's name. The parallel
there ends. for In Spain the Govern
ment has passed into the hands Of
the opposition. Yet In regard to tbs
chief issues Of practical policy there
can hardly be very profound trans
formation. Both sides seem pretty
well satisfied that the rising at Barcs.-
Iona was dangerous and had to be sup
pressed. ~
There does not seem to be In Spain
any perceptible echo OF the outcr,.
raised elsewhere against the Barcelons
trial and its outcome. : The new min
istry represents law and order as much
~ the old one. though 1t may take n
modified view OF the most effectual
means of maintaining them. The main
problem that confronts the new Cow
ernment Is that with which the old one
had to deal. the campaign In Morocco.
The nature Of the situation which
there exists IL that spain. holds cer-
tain ports on the coast OF Morocco and
that her troops near one tof them. Me-
lila. have been attacked by the local
tribes.
The Spanish Government has tive dif-
ficulties in adopting the plan. OF taxi

cation. The first IL that. as the tribes.
men are constantly reinforced. an Cf-
fensive In order to produce the resuIt

and that would tax too heavily the
resources Of Spain. The second ia
that such an unlimited offensive must
under the provisions of the Act of
Algeciras prove useless to Spain, be-
cause any extensive occupation OF ter
ritory would be unacceptable to other
European Powers. There remains the
policy OF defence. which is also NOT
without its endorsements.
II Is douotful whether the actual po-
sition Of Mefiiia. the original Spanish
area, is in modern conditions defensi-
BILE. Accordingly, any defence must
begin with an offensive carried to the
point At which q defensibie area has

policy would then be to fortify q iina
