mitted the will Of the testatrix 10 probate,

tate. and the other three-quarters of the
residuary estate TO three other nieces. To
her sister Mrs. Catherine Jackson, the
testatrix gave S20O0. The contest was
brought by Henry j. Roberts, a nephew,
who was not mentioned in the will There
were other relatives who also were not In
the WILL but they did not file any objec-
lions TO the probating of the Will.
After Surrogate Fowler gave his decision
a was announced that the benehciaries
named by Miss Roberts would give GER
tain share Of the estate TO each of the rela-
tiyes who we're cut off, that Roberts, the
contestant will come In for share, al
though he lost his action.
