Unknown Bank Account
Brings on a Will Contest

MORRISTOWN, May Judge
Joshua r. Salmon heard testimony
yesterday afternoon on the eXcep-
tions by the heirs of Richard Sher-
man to the inventory filed by Henry
Sherman, executor and sub-adminis-
traitor of the estates of Mrs. George
Sherman and William Sherman, of
Stirling William Sherman died three
weeks preceding the death of his
mother, Mrs. George Sherman, and
named his brother Henry as his exec
utor. William had been named as
the executor of his father, George n.
Sherman, and at the formers death
Henry was named as sub-adminis-
traitor. The heirs of Richard Sher-
man, represented by c. Franklin Will
son, of this town, held that about $500
discovered in a Bernardsville bank
was the arlount which the estate of
Williad Sherman was short, owing to
the taking of that auount from the
latter estate to make up a deficiency
in the George n. Sherman estate.
This amount they held should be con-
sidered as principle Carl V. Vogt
represented Henry Sherman. The ac-
count was discovered in the Der
nardsville bank after the inventor
of the william Sherman estate hat
been filed. Decision was reserved.
