OF QUARTER
MILLION HANGS ON WORD,
Mistake in Will Prompts Legal
Fight for S250,O0O.

CINCINNATI, April 15.-Upon the
mistake of somebody, who made the
word ''her' read my in a will, rests
the decision of an estate of $250,000 in
Cincinnati.
The will is that of Robert Gordon,
one of the wealthiest colored men in
the Middle West, who died in 1888, and
devised that one-half the rents and
personal property should go to his wife,
Eliza Gordon, for life, and hat the
other half would go to his daughter.
Virginia Ann Jackson, wife of a col
ored attorney here.
AT the death of his wife and daughter
the whole property was to go to the
children of Virginia Ann Jackson, pro
viding, of course. that the children
should be those living at the time of
her DEATH In copying the will some
body made the phrase 'her death read
my DEATH"
The will was taken into court to pre-
vent the payment of charitable be-
quests which had been made within one
year of the testator's death.

Spouse to an encore he gave a move
ment from ~concertos by Goldmark.
