Special Dispatch to EUcnin0 Public Ledger
Atlantic City, Oct. 4.-On the words
of gray. haired Methodist minister, the
Rev. Abner II. Lucas, now of Prince
ton, formerly of Atlantic City, may rest
final disposition of the fortune left by
Mrs. Alice Gerry Griswold, once social
belle and descendant of Bonapartc. This
fortune is at present virtually IN the
possession Of Mrs. Mary II. Drischman,
wife of former butcher, and is being
fought for by Countess Anna st. Clair
de Contubia. Of Milan. Italy. daughter
Of the dead woman. The aged minister,
called in TO witness what he believed
was the win of Mrs. Grlswold, signed
that instrument after Mrs. Griswold had
affixed her name.
CARRIED in deep mourning the Count
css appeared with her array of legal
talent Of this city and Baltimore be-
fore Judge Robert Ingersoll in the Or
phan's Court here this morning, pre-
pared to start the attack on the will of
her mother, which cut her off with $500
and left the remainder of the fortune.
appraised for court purposes at $50 900,
but reported to be close to 5000 900
to the woman who had been business
manager for Mrs. GriSwold for several
years before her death. Mrs. DriSch-
man did not appear at opening of court.
Minister First Witness
Mr.. Lucas was the first witness for
Mrs. Drischman in defense of the Will
which left her cottages and apartments
here and property in Baltimore. In
careful language he told Of visiting Mrs.
Griswold in order to act as witness to
her will. He said Mrs. Griswold signed
the paper, which afterward was pro-
duced as her will, with remark that
This was the way she intended her
money to CO. and that she "beleved
Mrs. DrisChman would continue the
charitable use of the fortune" which
had been used for that purpose by its
owner, according to her own statement.
Judging from the cross examination
adopted by Counsellor Clarence l.. Cole.
| of this city, former Judge, it is on
this statement that the main claim for
! breaking the will is to be based. Every
! question put by counsel for the Count :
eSS was directed to bringing out the
! exact words of the dead woman as to
! her charitable intentions and of the
means taken to acQuaint Mrs. Girls =

Estate in Hands OF Trustee
When preliminary proceedings on the
will fight took place several weeks ago

 WAS EATEN BY SHARK

MANILA, Jan. 19 (by Associated Press) Several discarded artillery collar ornaments, number of bent army coat buttons and a pair of army shoes, found in the abdomen of a man-eating sharp captured in a fish trap in Cavite province has led mili- tary authorities to the conclusion that an American soldier was devoured by the big fish. No clue to the identity of the soldier has been found.
 Presence of the buttons and shoes in the stomach of the shark indicated that the man was fully clothed when he met death. It is believed he fell or jumped from an army transport.

said Mrs. Della kunze, of $50 Lii

Before taking Tanlac l felt tired
and WORKOUT all the time, and was
so nervous, worried and upset that
l lost all my cheerfulness and felt
melancholy and depressed My
appetite was so poor l didn't feel
like eating q bit of food, and after
every meal 1 suffered dreadfullv
from indigestion, sour stomach and
bloating and many times had such
smothering sensations l could hard
ly get my breath. I had violent
headaches, too, that just made me
miserable, and was in such a run
down condition that it looked like
l was going to break down COM
pletely.
81 wasn't slow in trying Tan
lac after my attention was called
to it, and four bottles of the medi-
cine have made me feel just like
l wanted to feel. Why, the metn-
cine has rid me of all my troubles
and actually built me up twelve
pounds in weight besides. That
tired, wornout feeling has entirely
gone and 1 am cheerful, happy ami
energetic all the time now. There
are, no doubt, thousands of others

stoned Plea for Lenieney, But
Is Sentenced 10 jail.

Harry Frysinger, in police court
yesterday afternoon. argued that nc
could not be prosecuted in Rock Is

charge filed by Veta Ross, because,
he said. he had hit the woman in
Davenport.
Yes. / hit her." said Frysinger,
sbut when / struck her we were
In Davenport, and what | do in

This was stumbling block for
a while. The states attorney had
only few minutes before filed a
charge of assault and battery
against Frysinger. When Frysing-
er admitted that he had assaulted
the woman, but that the assault had
occurred in Dyenport, the states
attorney asked time for a confer
ence with the complaining wit
nesses.
After the conference the states
attorney said:A
tits all right, Judge, the charge
will hold good in this court The
defendant hit the woman in Dav-
export but he pinched her in ILL
nofs." The woman showed several
bruises on both arms, and claimed
that Frysfnger had inflicted the
Injuries while they were walking
along Third avenue in Rock Is

She also said that Frysinger had
torn her clothing.
