ence Of the will for several months
rrior to his mothers death, but since
all the property had been enjoyed By,
Mrs. Muller as her husband had de-
sired, 1t was not thought necessary
to probate the will at that time.
The son says the property will now
be divided between his two brothers
and himself, since his mother died In
testate. The exact value Of the estate
has not been determined, but 1t 10
