also contended that the federal statute

Of Imprisonment for two years and a

court holds otherwise.
THE VALIDITY OF A WILL.
An anomalous case In unlawful rela-
tons appeared recently in New York
between a testator and his paramour
His will giving her his property was
attacked. undue influence of the para
mour being one of the grounds, but
was sustained by the court. The wo-
man, deserted by her husband, leaving
with her several children. formed a
close friendship with testator. who
without ceremony proceeded to live
with her as his paramount. Unlike mos
cases of this kind. it appeared that he
was kind, loving protector, supporting
her her children, and three others born
to them, and taking the best care OF
the family that his means could afford.
To all appearances their life and hah-
itation were as regular and as decent
as their neishbors. His interest and
sollcitude for their welfare seems to
have remained constant, and 1t appears
that the woman sincerely mourned her
partners loss. When the will was exc
cuted the day before his death the evil
dcnce shows that she did nothing in re-
gard to its execution, which was pro-
posed by Il reputable lawyer. while She
remained mere bystander making no
suggestions in regard to the procedure.
The will was admitted to probate, the
surrogate court saying that the instru-
ment was in precise accordance with
the tenor of the testator's entire life
and that the law did not permit hin,
to set asied the Wills of the erring as
a punishment for their moral error In
