Paris, July 2.-The winding-up OF
the estate of the widow of former
French Consul-General at Jerusalem,
an old lady who died two years ago
leaving property valued at 100000
will be no easy matter. The deceased
is said to have been necessarily occu.
pied in making wills and adding codi-
ellis. The last codicil discovered,
which is dated August 16, 1907, con
firms the two last testaments, revok-
ing all others But the lady drew up
in all fifteen wills Nine of the mum.
Der are plainly revoked by the above
codicil, but six others all bear the
same date, May 8, 1904 Two of these
appear to be the last testaments" re-
ferred to in the codicil, as no later
wills have so far been found. But
which two of the six are the latest
The lady evidently. wrote them at diff
ferent hours of the same day, but
there is no indication in any of them
of the precise moment. The point is
an important one, as by three of the
six wills. but not by the others, fe-
male relative of the deceased inherits
large sums, which the universal lega.
tee may or may not have to pay.
The courts are now engaged in an
attempt to determine by internal
evidence" which of the wills most pro-
badly expressed the latest wishes OF
the deceased, French Jurisprudence
allowing in such matters more latitude
than that of England.

A new method of suicide is reported
from Munich. During the last few
days man named Karl kurz, clerk
at Mainbourg police court was arrest
ed on charge of having embezzled
5000. The authorities decided that
the case should be inquired into at
Landshut. and the accused was
brought to the prison of this town. At
his request he was employed in max
ing cigar-boxes.
On the following day 1t was found
that he was suffering from, meningitis.
and he was sent to the hospital where
he died few hours later. On making
postmortem examination the doc
tors found that Kurz had taken his
life by pressing 20 small nails into
his head. He had taken them from

the extra receipts from the corn du-

to be used to create a widows and
