volunteered the information that John
v. Eacot, credited with having guided
Mrs. Easton's trembling hand while she
wrote the sswill' received through the
mail at the Surrogate's Office in Brook
lyn on Friday. had died a month ago
in Utica, N. Y.
Bacot Died In Utica
Pursuing this clue. The Tribune
learned last night that until few
months ago Mr.. Bacot was a resident
Of Morristown. N. j. 1t was said in
Morristown that he had died in Utica
either on the same day or the day after
the death of Mrs. Easron.
BE was practicing attorney in New
Jersey, associated with George T..
Record, before he went to Utica sew
eral years ago to become president of
the Consolidated Water Company.
Mr. Vieu is inclined to believe that
the person who penciled the will" a
palpable forgery, hit upon the name of
Bscot through having seen an account
Of his death in the newspapers. He
was reputed to have been wealthy and
at the time of his residence in Morris
town was active in the building and
maintenance of city waterworks.
The putative will, it was declared
yesterday, was written by person of
less than average intelligence. 1t was
on Pennsylvania blank, which ac-
counts for its partly correct legal
aspect, but the words which had been
filed in with pencil were misspelled in
many instances and miscapitalized in
others. Jewelry was s'gewellry," write
was rite" and in two places s'pencil''
was capitalized.
