s5OO,0OO WILL TO
STRANGERS IS 0. K

PHILADELPHIA Jan. 3.-The will
of the late John G. Watmough, which
left $1,000 to maid and 100000 to
a man and wife who were his friends.
ignoring all heirs at law. was ad-
mitted to probate today by the regis
ter of Wills of Philadelphia after a
determined fight had been made by
relatives aSainst such action. 1t Is
expecred the contest will now be car
ried into the courts.
Mr. Watmough was seventy-six
when he died and had been an invalid
for several years. His wife, who was
Caroline Drexel, an aunt of the pres
ent head of the Drexel family, died
several years ago.
The maid to whom Mr.. Watmough
left 100000 is Zalie FACET, who was
a nurse to both Mr.. and Mrs. Wat
mough. The 100000 was left to Fer
dinand Keller and his wife, a dealer
in antiques, who became a warm
friend of Mr.. Watmough through
business dealings. Mr.. Watmough
ignored half brother. the children
of a deceased half sister and the son
of a deceased sister
The ground against admitting the
will to probate was that Mr.. Wat
mough was of unsound mind when
the will was drawn. The register of
wills today decided that no testimony
was presented at the hearing to prove
the allegations of the contestants.
