riage had never been made public,
when Saint Cyr obtained aHdavits
from four of his family disowning him.
They declared they had come to New
York at Saint Cyr's request and, upon
seeing him, discovered that he was not
their missing son and brother, al
though he bore some resemblance to
Jack Thompson.
AT this -tine-last December-the
marriage record in which Saint Cyr
admitted his parentage had not yet
come to light, butSthe affidavits never
theless were not convincing because a
great number of friends and acquain-
tances had come forward who recog-
nized and positively identified Saint
Cyr as the impeeunious youth from
Waco.
Special Guardians Report.
Attorney Brennan was appointed
special guardian to audit the accounts
Of the executors of Mrs. RedfeId-
Saint Cyr's will. The executors are
Saint ,Cyr and Henry Sherman Red
field of Hartford. In his report Mr..
Brennan says the accounts on their
face are correct, but that he discov-l
ers in the record of the probate pro-
ceedings facts which he considered it
his duty to call to the attention of
fBy the fifth clause of the will the
executors are directed to pay to Hen<
ry Alexander Redheld, grandson of the
testator, the infant herein, the sum Of
500, 900, aud for the purpose of re-
ceiving and Investing thiS money Hen
ry Sherman Redfeld, father of the
infant and executor herein, is made
trustee. By codicil dated May 13,
1914, the amount of this legacy is
changed to $4,000.
L when the will and codici1s were
offered for probate no guardian was
appointed for the infant. 1t may be
that no proper objection can be made
to the codici1 and yet due regard for
the interests of the infant would seem
to require that some investigation
should be made by a Guardian ap-
pointed by the Court into the circum-
stances attending the execution of the
instrum ent which took away from the
infant the sum of $4,000.
81 respectfully suggest that the
Court take under adviseTnent the wis
dom of setting aside or suspending the
probate pending an examination of the
conditions under which the codicil was
executed by a guardian to be appoint
ed by the Court
Surrogate Sawyer is expected to act
upon the special guardians recon-
mendation when he reconvenes court
at White Plains tomorrow.
More than curiosity genuine in
terest in a woman of marked lowell
ness and social charm-pyompted the
many INQUIRIES that followed Mrs.
Smiths marriage to the unknown
Saint Cyr But the sum total of all
the scraps of information that friends
and gossips and newspapers could coll
fect amounted to ion1y enough to
heighten the mystery.
Beyond the fact that Saint Cyr had
| ct he Cd hon in
Hartford in 1908, and that some time
when and where unknown-he had
married the rich old lady, his history
was sealed
The Establishment in Yonkers.
At the time of the marriage they
lived at No SO Hudson Terrace, Yon-
] kers, having removed there from
Hartford in March, 1909. The house
hold consisted of the aged widow and
two young men, Saint Cyr and Robert
| B. Sven. The young men were gem
orally supposed to be companions or
| adopted sons. To the servants f'the
boys were known as Mister jack
/ and Mister Rob-
| Mrs RedfeId died from pneum onia
at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Jan. 1,
1915. Her first husband was Henry
Alexander Redfield, President of the
1 Phoenix National Bank of Hartford.
Mr.. Redfe1d had said that his wife's
/ state would be worth nearly a mil
lion dollars. but after her death it was
discovered that the amount she could
dispose of by will was only $500, 900.
EAbout 100000, from which she en-
joyed the income during her lifetime,
passed to the 1ted6eld family.
1t is not known how Saint Cyr be-
came independently wealthy, as his
! friends have declared him to be, en-
| tirely outside of what he inherited I'M
der his wife's will. AS residuary leg
aztec he has received securities apprais.
ed at $50, so, and in cash $5,142.36,
| but the total value of the securities
has appreciated in the year since their
appraisal by more than 100 per cent
The securities which Saint Cyr- receiv-
ed from the estate included 100 shares
of Colts Arms Manufacturing Com
pany, appraised last year at 1924 a
share, now WORTH nearly 5000 share
The Surrogate's Clerk at White Plains
now recalls that Saint Cyr and Sven
made unusual requests for haste in
carrying out the formalities Of pro
batting the will a year ago.
