Will Admitted by
Court.

Paterson. y. J.. Dec. 22.-The fight for
the 100000 estate OF Peter. Reid. Of
Passaic, who died about a year ago end
ed this afternoon. at least temporarily.
when Judge Abram Klcnert. In the
Orphans Court. ordered that his will be
admitted TO probate. The judge said that
the contestants failed to show that Reid
was OF unsound mind or that undue in
fluence had been used when he made his
will.
The fight for the estate has been a hit
ter one. Relatives in Scotland who were
ignored in the vii set UP the claim that
Reid was influenced 10 leave 10000 to
charity. Counsel for the litigants asked
for $500 counsel fees. but the court de-
ciGed that $50 each would be enough. 1t
Is probable that an appeal will be taken.
