FINALLY ACCEPTED
Relatives Offer Proof of Kin
ship to Syracuse Man Who
Cut Them Off.

NASHSNA"eNN
SYRACUSE, n. y, January l.
A challenge contained in the will of
George Cashier, a Syracuse bill poster,
has been accepted by relatives in Tex
as and dispositions are expected today
with proofs from five persons claim
ing substantial portion of an estate
valued Originally at $4,000.
Cashiers will, filed in April, 1925,
invited any person or persons to pro-
duce proofs of relationship and their
reward would be 81 legacies.
Cashier is said to have destroyed
all family records and disclaimed rela-
tiVeS with whom he had not been in
touch during the last 25 years of his
eer of the bill posting business passed
by the will chiefly to Mrs. Elisa Will
kins of this city, Cashiers house
keeper for II years.
Gifts of $4,000 in cash. three houses
and securities were included in Mrs.
Wilkins portion.
Despite an intention to eliminate
relatives from any share but 81 lega-
cies. Cashier defeated the purpose of
the will by failing to prepare resid-
uary clause that would dispose of the
remainder of the property at Mrs.
Wilkins death.
w NAT CnlS amount may De Is prop
lematical but it was enough to make
it worth while for relatives to come
forward with their proofs.
The five heirs who are confident
their proofs will be satisfactory to

late Withheld Cashier; Wallace and
Orbie Cashier and Mrs. Thelma Cast

and Claude Cashier of Brashier, Tex

Now she has been taken away
from the pretty rooms and sent to
prison for four years and a half.
That In a rutshell is the amazing
story of the woman who called her
self Josephine O'Dare.
It's an old story in novels. It's
not quite so common in real life.
She burst upon London about
three years ago. She took nice
house in one OF the incest streets
in swell Mayfair. Aristocrats and
people of title soon were going to
i1er parties. She entertained lavishly
at the stylish hotels in the West
End. She dressed fautlessly. She
went TO the smartest shops in Bond
street for her gowns and hats.
The meals she ordered for her
guests We're in the most perfect
taste. She had a nice sense In wines.
and her champagnes were of the
finest
Not only was she very pretty, but
she talked we'll and wittily. She VS.
voted good fun" She rode a splen-
did horse in Rotten Row. She was
much written up in the newspapers
as the Irish hearess who was train
ing horse with which she expected
to win the Derby in 1928" The
newspapers OF London "fell' for her
as hard as the society people.
Then came the inevitable crash.
She was arrested in connection with
some check frauds and nttering the
forged will OF a reputable Birming
ham lawyer. Rapidly the police
rounded up a gang Of forgers and
crooks with whom she associated In
her business hours.
The other day, perfectly costumed
in a lovely blue dress. her cheeks
tinged q faint pink. her dark eyes
sparkling, she stood in the dock at
the Old Bailey and heard herself
described by cold-voiced sleuth of

Instead. she was named Skyrme.

American Net Star Shows Up Good
Advantage At Wimbledon
Contest

Wimbledon. England, June "a R
Big Bill Tilden. who admittedly is
not great success at foretelling the
result Of other tennis players

yesterday. He favored his fellow
countryman. Francis T. Hunter, in
the match with the English veteran
Arthur H. Lowe. and Hunter won.
CO. SIS. Ga, reaching the fourth
round Of the Wimbledon tourna-
ment.
Tilden was elated over this-over
the victory and the fact that he had
picked the winner. When he was
reminded that he had chosen Mrs.
Mola Mallory over Betty Nuthall,.
young English player. whose victory
one of the greatest upsets of the
tournament, he said. well. it is
y-fifty-not so bad"
Tilden has not lost single set in
the three matches he has played
thus far. and it is the general opin-
ion that If he had really extended
himself he might not have lost
single game.
Hunter is playing earnest and SUI
perior tennis His fellow teammates
said that if he succeeded in over
coming his next opponent, ]. Colin
Gregory, English ranking player. he
undoubtedly would give Henri Co.

While the defeat of Mrs. Mallory

the hands OF the youthful Miss Nut

American team. they took solace as
far as possible in the Hunter VIC
tory over Lowe, Of Tilden over G. T.
