Left to Housekeeper.

An additional report on the estate OF
John Masterson Burke, philanthropist,
who died I'm December. 1909. at the age Of
ninety-seven. was filed with the Deputy
State Controller yesterday. The report
includes that part OF the estate not
touched by the original appraisal, filed
October l9 1911. The first appraisal was
OF an estate Of more than 100000 the
greater part Of which went TO the Wini-
fred Mastcrsou Burke Foundation for the
cstab ablishment Of a convalescent home.
The appraisal filed yesterday involved
the annuity of $1,000 given under Mr.
Burkes will 10 Nicenta NJ. Fensley. his
housckeeper and companion for thirty
years. This provision OF the will was
responsible for several contests brought
by relatives and alleged relatives on the
ground that Miss Fensey eXerted undue
influence over the testator. The income
was made payable from property which
Mr.. Burke placed I'm trust in 1902. and
was payable to HIM up TO the time OF his
death.
In 1905 Mr.. Burke gave his housekeeper
Union Pacific stock valued at $4,000. He
said she had given up much for his COM
fort. This stock was held non-taXable
under the inheritance tax law. Miss
Fensley died in 1910 in her seventy-third
year. Mr. Burke's relatives made an at
tempt TO have him pronounced legally in
sane In 1907. but IL was not successful.
