queaths Foster Mother
to Titled Child.

The million dollar estate Of the Prin-
cess of Vicovaro, who was Miss Flea
more Lorillard Spencer, Of New York,
who died in Rome on May 8 last, with
the exception Of few minor requests
to friends and servants, is Inherited BY
her daughter, the Princess Beatrice
Fiorenza Cenci, according TO a photo
eraphed copy of her will filed for pro-
bate yesterday IN the SurroSste's
Court.
The Princess Vicovaro was the widow
of Virginia Cenci, Prince Of VicOvoro,
an Italian nob!eman. Her daughter, q
girl in her teens. is living in Berne,
Switzerland. In spite Of her marriage
into a titled family and the possession
Of large estates in Switzerland, the
Princess Vicovaro was always an
American woman at heart. Her father
was the late Lorillard Spencer, Of Wall
Street.
"Any attempt after my decease," she
said in her will, "to represent me as
domiciled in Italy, Switzerland or
France or in any other country Of
Europe will be in bad faith" Her
home, she added, was in the City Of
New York.
To her daughter she left all her
Jewels. laces, furs, household furnish
ings, art works and bric-a-brac, as well
as her home at 80 Avenue Marceau,
Paris; the Chateau Vicoyaro, on the
Dre Linden, Lucerne, and the villa
Griswolden, also on the Drei Linden,
Lucerne. The property on which the
buildings stand, as well as all the fur
nishings and fittings also go to the
daughter who, she specified, was not TO
sell any Of the inherited property with
out the consent of the executors OF the
estate, Donald Harper, Albert Is.
Boardman and the United States Trust
Company.
To the Hon. Alfredo Baccelli, Of
Rome, the Princess Vicovaro left S2O,-
600. A like amount was willed 70 Mile.
Maria Capiol Miss Justine Clemes-
son. her daughters companion, is 70 re-
ceive $4,000 and a salary of $3.50 a
month so long as she remains in the
employ of her daughter. Other SER
wants, both personal and employees on
the Swiss estates, received legacles OF
from $4,000 down to $40.
An annual income of $4,000 a year
is set aside for the daughter of the
Princess Vicovaro, who gets the residu-
airy estate after the requests are paid.
Considering the welfare OF her child,
the princess added:
81 have thought that among our old
est friends there is no one upon whom
| can count more than Donna Marcella
Ganotti, wife of Emmanuel Philibert
Fresot, of Rome, and am sure that she
will take my place as far as possible
and be a second mother to her.
II desire particularly that she will
send away any persons living with or
visiting my daughter who, she believes.
may be imposing upon my daughter or
who. she believes, it may not be for
the best interests of my daughter to
have with her"
The will provides that so long as
Donna Marcella Gianotti acts as a "sec-
ond mother" she shall receive a yearly
income of $4,000. In the event Of her
death, the princess names the Donnas
sister the Countess Maria Balbis, to
act in that capacity on the same terms.
Upon her daughters death the estate
is to 90 to her children. Should the
daughter die childless, the principal Of
the estate will 20 to Lorillard Spencer,
of $50 Park Avenue, a nephew OF the
princess.
