GEN. DURYEA LEAVES
MOST TO HIS SLAYER
Son Who Shot Him Gets Larger
Share Of Estate Than Other
Natural Heirs.
NO CONTEST Is PROBABLE
Chester Now in Bellevue Await
ing Report of Lunacy
Commission.

The will of Gen. Hiram Duryea, who
was killed by his son. Chester Il. Duryea.
on May last, was filed for probate yes
terday In Lake Pleasant the county seat
OF Hamilton county, and makes generous
provision for the son who slew his father
while apparently insane. Gen. Duryea's
country home was at Blue Mountain
Lake. Hamilton county. and he had main
tained his legal residence there for many
years.
The estate Is estimated at more than
S2OOO,OOO. While Gen. Duryea had yalu-
able realty holdings In addition to his
home at 100 Elghty-fifth street, Brook
lyn, II Is said that the estate consists
chiefly of stocks and bonds.
To his son Chester he gave the use OF
his town house during his lifetime and
also left him trust fund OF si25OOO
to insure him an income of $4,000 n
year. The will provides that II the in.
come falls below $4,000 In any year the
trustees may in their discretion make up
the difference from the residuary estate.
Gen. Duryea's summer camp at Blue
Mountain Lake Is given to his two sons
Chester and Harry H. Duryea.
Chester Duryea also shares equally In
the residuary estate with his brother
Harry and sister. Mrs. Ellery o. Ander-
son. which Is set apart as a trust fund,
with the provision that the trustees may
terminate the trust at any time. Ac.
cordingly the share left to Chester is
greater than the shares OF the two other
children.
The will was made on March II, 1918.
and named the two sons and Cornelius
Il. Van Brunt as trustees Chester Dur

his mental condition. Whatever the dis
position OF his case there is no proba-
bility that he will ever qualify as an
executor. Some surprise was expressed
yesterday by friends of Gen. Duryea
when they learned the terms OF his will
because no bequest had been left TO Ches-
ter's divorced wife and their young son.
Gen. Duryea had always been on friendly
terms with his daughter-in-law and his
grandson.
1t was said yesterday that no question
will be raised over the distribution of
the estate as was presented to the courts

f. Sterry. the wholesale druggist who
was killed by his son, George +. Sterry.
Jr. The brothers OF the slayer. who were
fused to pay over his share of the estate
| to his widow on the ground that by kill
ing his father young Sterry prevented him
| from changing his will to cut OF
his son George. After extended pro-
ceedings the executors made a settlement
with their brothers widow.
