in lawyers Office at Castanet, near
Toulouse, France. The lawyer was
reading the will of landowner who
recently died. in the presence of the
relatives of the deceased. The de-
ceased left practically his whole es-

furiated a cousin that he suddenly
jumped up, snatched the will from the

and, examining them into his mouth,
endeavored to swallow them. He was
seized by the throat and finally forced
to disgorge the bits of paper. which
were afterwards gummed together.
