ALFRED ADAMS ESTATE
 SMALLER THAN EXPECTED

The fate Alfred A. Adam who was found dead a week ago Sunday in Adams tavern at Norwich Town, ap- parently does not leave an. estate as large as she has, always been credited with among h!s friends.
 First ssSelecunan Casper K. Bailey who has been appointed temporary administrator by the probate court has been able to locate property worth only about s25 LOGO, consisting of real estate, stocks, and bonds and cash, whereas Mir. Adam had always been considered to be worth from $T5,000 to, Sl00,000 and some estimates by his friends went as high as s150,000 -sOu the amount of the estate hinges the application of a separation agree nent which Mir. Adam made last June V tn his wife to whom he was mar xled the preceding November. In it she waived her inheritance rights as his widow and received from him s5,o00,' but the agreement was made with the understanding that MT. Adam was not worth more than $25,- 900. and should it be found that he was worth more the agreement would not hold.
 i. It IS understood that there Is every prospect of a legal contest over the settlement of the estate.
 Medical Examiner c. tC. Glider sleeve has rendered his finding On the cause of the death of MT. Adam, giving as the primary cause "asphvxia carbonoa." with the secondary cause as burns of chest. face and hands," He also makes the note on the death certificate; accidentally burned and asnhyxiated by illuminating gas"
 The medical authorities in the case were at first reported to be holding the opinion that there had been a stroke of apoplexy in the case, but the medical examiner disnoses of this .lheory-hy making the. death due to The burns and the gas coming from the pipe to an upset gas heater that was found in the room.
 Mir. Adam was the son of Chr'stoph CT O. Adam and PaulIno J. Elben. both natives of Germany. He was born in Norwich Feb 1858 and was in his Sand year at the time of his death. As a young man he studied to be an arch itect. but for the last S5 years had been conducting the tavern at Nor Wich Town.
