NEUMANN WILL
IS PROBATED.

Judge De Bolt yesterday afternoon
admitted to probate the last win and
testament, together with the codicil to
the will, of Elise s. v. Neumann, and
letters testamentary yere granted to
Herman Focke and Inez Sophia Stack
able, who were named in the will. The
Judge ordered that an inventory Of
the property belonging to the estate
be fled with the court within thirty
days.
In the statement Of Judge De Bolt,
admitting the will to probate, num-
Der of facts, which tho court has de-
termined to be true, are given. Mrs
Noumann died on or about September
I, 1908, being lost at sea somewhere
between Mazatlan and San Francisco
The alleged will was executed on Oe-
tober 20, 1909, in the presence OF
Frank Andrade and b. L. Marx, in
Honolulu.
The codicil to the win was drawn
up on June 90, 1908, in London, Eug-
land. In the summary of facts, Judge
De Bolt states that at the time OF
drawing the first win and at tho time
of executing the codicil, the "testa-
trix was of sound and disposing mind,
and competent to make will"
1t is generally believed that Mrs.
Neumann was not in her right mind
when she disappeared from tho ship
on which she was returning to San
Francisco.
