Foster Will Leaves
 Many Points Doubtful

Interpretation of the will of Sarah Marilla Foster of Danbury, who died June IT, 1916, and of Joel G. Foster, her husband, who died Feb. 8, 1918, and the advice of the court upon about 20 disputed points arising un- der the wills is asked in an action filed in the Superior court by John H. Fanton of Danbury, executor of both wills, against Martin W. Foster and about 20 other defendants. The court Is asked to construe a number of provisions in both wills to carry out the intentions of the testators.
 Mrs. Foster died June IT, 1916, leaving a will of which FaEton was named executor. One clause provid- ed for the life use by her husband of all property, both real and personal, with a provision that certain property might be sold to pay his debts, if any. Last February the husband died, leaving an estate of $900, with debts amounting to $14,O00. Fanton and Foster were named executors of his will, but Foster declined to act.
 There are many heirs at law who have an interest in the property and all are cited in as party defendants. There are also many obscure clauses in both wills upon which the advice of the court is asked.

Had Seven Names,
 He Left S11,OOO

It was not until he died, or rather until application was made to the probate judge for letters of adninis- tration in the estate of Eustraitios G. Matraros (and we are not sure if that is the gentleman's correct name), that 1t was discovered he was known under seven different titles.
 All of the names, which were appar- ently given in utter 1gnoronce of the changes, appear to be variation of the original. and the only conclusion that could be reached by Probate Judge Parker is that the man was never sure of his own name or at least did not know how to spell it.
 Mataros left an estate valued at approximately $11,OOO, and a brother residing in Ansonia is the sole heir. The discovery of the seven names came when an inventory of the estate was made, and bank books credited to the following were discovered: Eustraitios G. Mitraros, Stratfos Mytareis, startos Mytarely, Ctratos G. Mytarelis Eustratios T1taros, Eus. tartios G. Mitaros and Straits Myta- 1 reLs.
 The deceased was a member of the U. s. army.
