steamship La Lorraine into the Ga
rome river on the night of January 10
last. while returning from the war zone
where they served us Red Cross work
ers, was again shown when their
estates were appraised yesterday.
Not only did they die together, but
their wills were made on the same day.

whom they left identical amounts, and
their number of stock holdings were
similar.
The report of John j. Lyons. ap-
praiser, filed in the Surrogate's Court,
showed that Dorothea left gross
