SENTENCE Of DEATH
Parrot Which Threatened a
Will Contest May Die by
ChI0r0f0rm Route.

Polly Stock may have sentence OF
death imposed on her Easter Monday by
Justice Gould, presiding in the Probate
Court.
To lawyers and others acquainted with
the limitations Of the various branches
Of the District Supreme Court. the above
statement seems nonsensical. They know
that the Criminal Court alone has Juris-
diction over life. and may impose the
death penalty after conviction Of first
degree murder. or of one other crime

Stock gave directions that the bird be
chloroformed.
Up to Justice Gould,

Morris Hahn and Mrs. Max Kamerow,
the executors OF the estate, which was
established yesterday when Miss Eliza
beth Stock. daughter of the testatrix,
withdrew a caveat to the will, are de-
termined, 1t is said. to leave to the de-
cision Of Justice Gould the fate of the
parrot
Attorney Levi II. David, their counsel,
is undecided as to whether the order in
the will to put the bird to death should
be carried out by the executors or
whether the parrot should be sold and
the proceeds used for a monument for
the dead mistress. Mrs. Stock requested
that the residue of her estate be spent in
the purchase of a stone to mark her
resting place.
Should Justice Gould decide that the
last wishes Of the deceased. by her viii
expressed, shall govern the actions Of the
executors. he will for the first time i'm the
history of the Probate Court pronounce a
death sentence.
