F |ND|NG Of WILL
TWO YEARS AF TER
DEATH. MYSTERY
Testament, Said to Be Giusep-
pc BadaraCCo'S, Filed in the
Probate Court AdminiStra-
ton of Estate Finished,

The filing of a will, alleged to be
that of Giuseppe BadaracCo, who let'
an estate reported to be worth from
$4,000 to $4,000, in the probate
court Monday, gave rise to Il mys'
terry.
1t was believed generally that Bad
aracco, who died more than two
years ago, left no will until Francis
T.. Wood of Marion 4 Wood, filed the
instrument said to be Badaracco's, al
the office of County Clerk Montoya
who eX-officio is clerk of the probate
court.
The administration of the estate
had been finished, Orlando Ulibarri
husband of BadaraccO's younges
daughter, who was appointed admin
strator a short time after the deatf
of the Italian, having filed his ftna
report. The court approved the re-
port, but had not discharged Ulibarr
as administrator.
Mr.. Wood was unable to throw any
light on the finding of the will except
hat it had been found about two
weeks ago. He did not know where
it had been concealed and was MOI
iware of the circumstances under
which it was discovered more thar
two years after the death of the ltal'
ian.
Mr. Wood stated that it was his in
tontion to seek to have the requests
of the alleged will carried out, if the
court holds it to be legal, stating thai
the disposition of the property already
made was in conflict largely with the
provisions contained in the ALLEGED
will, which, it appears, was writer
about a year before Badaracco died
1t was stated in a petition by Mrs
Gregoria Ulibarri, the youngest daugh'
ter, filed in The probate court a shor'
time after the death of her father
that as far as she knew no Will hac
been left She asked that she be APP
pointed administrative but the cour'
refused because she was not q years
old at the time. Her husband ther
was named administrator by the
court.
In the division Of property, made in
the belief that there was no will Miss
Catherine Badaracco, the older daugh'
ter and the only child of the Italian
besides Mrs. Uliharri was said to have
received several lots at Third stree
and Tiieras\avenue. another lot in the
highlands and approximately half OF
the personal property, which
amounted to $4,000 in money ant
notes. Mrs. Ulibarri got the rest OF
the property. Under the alleged vii
this, as well as the greater part of tbs
property received by her sister woulc
have been held in trust.
The alleged will gives only one lot
thatin the highlands-to the Older
daughter and directs that the re-
mainder of the property he held in
trust by Charles Melini, Italian con.
sui, until the youngest daughter be-
comes 35 years old. He is to manage
the property and pay her the net in
come annually, it provides.
If Mrs. Tlibarri should die before
reaching that age. the alleged viii
specifies that the property, excepting
the lot given to the older daughter
descend to her children. 1t adds that
if the children should die before they
reach 81 years the property should &c
to the older daughter, but that if she
did not live to the age of 35 years his
nephews and nieces should be his
heirs.
Mr.. Melini is named as executor in
the alleged will.
