made will, bequeathing his property.
consisting of a home at 391 Fair
mount avenue, and few thousand
dollars, to his two-year-old son, Jo-
seph G. Sherry. In the event of his
child's death he desired that Mrs.
Classy Sherry, wife of the dead mans
cousin, who nursed him through a
year of illness when his relatives. so
it is alleged, had deserted him,
should be the beneficiary. Dur
ing all that year the stricken man
was confined to his bed. Through in
competence on the part Of the lawyer
this desire was not incorporated In the
will. The Court of Errors and APP
peals handed down an adverse deci-
sion unfolding the claims of Patrick,
Michael and Felix Sherry, brothers of
the deceased.
After hearing the tearfully render
ed accounting of the woman Vice.
Chancellor Lewis said:
''It is evident that the defendant
intended no wrong. She believed that
the property belonged to her."
