OYSTERS WIDOW LAUNCHES
FIGHT ON PROBATE COURT
Petition Demands Change of Authority Over
Estate and Attacks Appraisers.

pointees of the court over whom no
executor or administrator has any
control. Even at that, the executor
stated. these appraisers called in
experts to aid them.
The widow attacks the inventory
Of Mr.. Oysters estate, accuses the
appraisers of incompetency, and de-
mands an injunction against the
sale OF certain personal effects to
satisfy creditors.
Charges differentiation.
The court is informed that the in
ventory returned by the appraisers
of the Probate Court valued her
husbands personal property at only
S35,252.55, whereas, the widow de-
clares, her own appraisers valued
II at $102,S5s.90. 1t Is alleged that
painting by Breton appears in
the court appraisers inventory as
being worth $50, when her apprais-
ers valued 1t at $4,000. An original
Daubigny is appraised at $500, but,
she charged, this picture is worth
$4,000. A carved rose-quartz lamp
is appraised at but $50. the widow
claims, when her appraisers valued
it at between $4,000 and $4,000.
The petition also alleges that
Executor Brandenburg has failed to
include as an asset the value of
the dairy business, which she claims
has been netting 100000 annually
and is worth 100000. Mr.. Draw
ner, the partner in this business, is
accused in the petition of having
Influenced Mr.. Oyster. while he was
i'll, to execute the partnership
agreement. and is charged with
not paying value for the As per
cent secured under the contract.
The court is thereupon asked to set
aside the sale of the remaining SIS
per, cent of the business to Mr..
Brawner
