Makes Charges
Against Beneficiaries.

According to his story Amasa
Flagler was denied a part in the flu
neral He went on his way North,
where he has made his sensational
charges that Mrs. F1agler Dr. Kee-
nan and j. b. Parrot kept the dying
tinancier secluded, denying all admis-
sion that they might maintain an in
tiuence over him.
The three are the principal benefi-
Charles under the win, and it is
Amasa's inference that because they
were with him continually. to the Sc
clusion OF others, their claims were
made secure. He hints, IN his inter
views, that Codicils TO the original
Flagler will were made under their
domination, cutting out other lega-
tees, particularly Harry Hardness
Flagler, the son Of the financier.
However an examination Of the
will and codicils proves this accusa-
ton to be without foundation There
are seven codicils, but none material
ly effective.
The documents are in the court
house in st. Augustine, where they
have reposed since being made. The
original will was drafted February /.
1902, and names w. II. Beardsley, of
New York; DIR. William r. Keenan,.

Mrs Mary Lille Flagler, he names
as the residuary legatee, and his son
Harry Hardness Flagler, he cut off
with the relatively small legacy of
5000 shares of Standard Oil stock.
This, at the time of Flagler's death,
was worth $642 a share.
