escape being the beneficiary under the

ton, who was about seventy years old,
had shown Miss Grannis the will, IN
which he left her all his property,
valued at about $4,000. He also APP
prised her of his intention to commit
suicide.
What happened on that occasion Is
related in an affidavit of Miss Grannis
filed in the Surrogates' Court yester-
day. She said: 81 begged him to use
his property for himself. and ] then
tore up the will and envelope it was in
and threw the pieces on nearby sofa.
He picked them up and put them in his
pocket"
That same paper, again pieced to-
gether by Morton. was offered for pro-
bate yesterday by Beverly Chew, vice
president of the Metropolitan Trust
Company, who is named as executor.
After Miss Grannis tore the will Nor
ton took the pieces, put them together
and delivered the instrument TO Mr..
Chew. Morton then committed suicide.

estate, it is hers. the teatator having
left no nearer relative than cousin.
