further pension. Since that time he
has been living on the bounty OF tho

peror William, derived from property

the brown overcoat found in the Will

not more than seven years old and
was probably less than five.
This was to prove the coat was
never owned by Mrs. Wilkins's son,
Leon Krauss, who died eighteen years
ago-and therefore was probably left
by the burglars.
The other Witnesses except one
testified to the devoted relations of
DR.. Wilkins and his wife and TO the
