BOGARDUS BEQUEST
TO CHARITY UPHELD
Appellate Division Declares
Will Leaving 100000
Is Valid.

The will Of Miss Emma Bogardus of
Poughkeepsie, who died in 1915, leaving
her estate OF 10000 to the American
Tract Society. the American Bible So
ciety and the American Seamans Friend
Society, was declared valid in a decision
handed down yesterday by the Appel
late Division in Brooklyn. This decision
reversed previous ruling by Surrogate
Gleason of Duchess county.
The contest was begun by Miss Bo-
gardus's sister, Mrs Mary Fisher OF
Washington. who made the unusual
charge that Miss Bogardus had been
unduly influenced by letter written
to her by her mother in 1888. seven
years before Mrs. Bogardus died. This
letter was marked to keep and real"
and was given to Miss Bogardus with
instructions not to read it until after
her mothers death. 1t said in part:
Give whatever there is left when God
calls you back TO the Lord. either to the
American Bible or to the American Tract
Society. which is always doing the
Lords work. After Mary, you have no
relatives to care for in that way. Try
to keep track of her. and should she be
needy it will be your duty to do so
thing for her. These last words. my
dear child, speak to you from the grave
and from the eternal world. 7 know
the utter loneliness you will feel when
you realize that your last earthly friend
is gone from you forever. Therefore
have written these lines both to direct
and comfort you
Mrs. Fisher said in court during the
trial that she married Henry Fisher in
1864 and was disowned by her father
when he learned that her husband had
taken no part in the civil war. She never
saw her parents again. she said. and did
not zee her sister until many years after
ward. Justice Jaycox. in writing the
opinion of the Appellate Division, said
that Mrs. Fisher had not succeeded in
establishing her contention that Miss Bo-
gardus had been unduly influenced. The
will will be admitted to probate.

free from, boil weevil ravage.
eff it is given out during the lat
ter part of April that the acreage has
been reduced east of the Mississippi it
will create better feeling in the
market and will result in business
and a general improvement.

ing only 101e or 20Tt and the fertili'
