Mrs. I,ufkjn. the widow. testi

Mrs. Lufkin, the widow, testified
that she was at Searsport, but not In
the bank, when the change in the de-
post account was made, that her hus-
band told her about the change when
they were returning home, and that
he said The had changed 1t SO that
either of us could draw it." Being
asked by her attorney whether her
husband said to her, Il have got it
fixed now so that If anything happens
to me there will be no trouble" she
replied, II do not remember whether
he stated it just that way. All 1 re-
member is that he said that he had
ii fixed now so that either Of US could
draw it," And being further asked If
her husband reserved the right to
draw the money himself she replied,
II suppose so, as long as he is alive"
She testified that her husband
turned over to her the deposit book
after they returned home from Sears
port and that she put 1t in the bureau
drawer and has had possession of it
since, but she could not remember
whether or not her husband made any
DEPOSITS TO the account after the
change was made.
This is a. bill IN equity asking the
court to construe the will. and partic-
ularly to determine whether or not
Elizabeth Lufkin Is entitled thereun-
der to the entire amount OF the depos-
it in the Searsport bank standing to
the credit of said deposit account at
the time of the testator's death, or
the sum of $1,000 only.
l. The intention of the testator as
plainly disclosed in the language Of
Il; RI n
the sum of one thousand dollars only,
and not to make specific beauest to
her of the deposit in the Searsport
bank.
.. Under the provisions of the will
the wife of the testator. Elizabeth Luf-
kin Is not entitled to the entire
amount standing to the credit of the
deposit account No. 2210 in the Sears
port Bank, at the date of the tesla
tors death, but is entitled to the sum
of one thousand dollars only from his
estate.
8. Under this bill for the construction
Of the will of Porter Lufkfn. the
question whether there was a gift in
ter vivos of the bank deposit from
said Lufkin to his wife Elizabeth is
not regularly before the court. But
since that question has been raised
in argument and its determination
NAV facilitate the administration of
the estate, the Court will here state
its opinion TO be that the proof is not
sufficient to establish a gift inter vivos
from Mr.. Luflzin to his wife of the
bank deposit.
To constitute such gift the giver
must part with all present and future
dominion over the property given. saw
;ngs Bank V. Merriam, SO Maine. lac.
Manifestly that was not done in TINS
instance. The proof is that Mr.. Luf-
kin changed the deposit FOR eonVen-
fence only, SO that either he or ms
wife might draw 1t as occasion should
require. and that ne did not part with
all his right and dominion over It,
A decree IS to be made in accord
ance with this rescript, and the plain
tiffs may be allowed taxable costs anc
q reasonable counsel fee to be paid
out of the estate.
So ordered.
