Emo Vetoed Paving
ST FOR Berries, His
Former Valet Saws
Ex-Servant Gives Testimony
of Millionaire's Penuri-
business .in Trial of Con-
test Brought Over Will

Edmond Bigaut, who was valet to
amos r. Emo for several years before
the mlllonairc's death in 1915, was a
witness yesterday in the Surrogates
Court at the trial of the contest over
Mr. Eno's will. Bigaut, VINO since the
death of his former employer fought
through the World War as a soldier of
rance, testified at length concerning
what he believed were the mental pecu-
IIarltles and physical defects of Mr..
Emo. AS witness for the contestants
at the first trial of the contest Bigaut
gave 1T as his opinion that Mr.. Emo
was not mentally sound for some time
before he executed his will
blgaut said yesterday that his en-
ployer, whose estate TO-DAY is csti-
mated at about s13,Ooo,ooe, objected to
paying 81 box for Strawberries and
gave other instances of the testator's
alleged penuriousness, which, it is con-
tended, assumed the proportions of an
obsession that he would die poor
man. The former valet, in the course
OF his testimony, said he used to treat
Mr.. Emo Gust like he was a baby"
Bigaut told of a trip to Europe on
which he had accompanied Mr.. Emo
The latter was taken i'll in Rome and
was compelled to remain in his hotel
room. The decedent told him, Bigaut
testified, that in case he died he did not
want S.gaut to accompany his body
back to New York. because he, Emo.
could not afford the expense of the
trip. Later, upon the patients rccov-
cry, he and his valet Went to Naples,
where Mr.. Emo registered at cheap
hotel. Bigaut suggested q better hos
telry and Mr.. Emo objected that the re-
moval of luggage would he too expen-
sive. On the return voyage to this
country Mr.. Emo had bad fall down a
flight of stairs on shipboard, said the
witness.
Continuing his testimony, Bigaut
quoted his former employer as saying,
"What's the use, they are dead ?" in
protesting against attending the fu-
neral of his brother and sister.
Upon cross examination Bigaut read
lily admitted that he had gone over
his testimony with attorneys for the
contestants. He was not sure about
certain dates when counsel called at
tention to some differences in the
testimony given by the witness at the
two trials. The trial will continue on

MRS. Stillman an additional $500 for
