Beattie had been in the employ of Moore for some years when, as a re- sult of his Diamond Match operations, the multi-millionaire had been -siripped of his wealth overnight. “I was in an awful fix,” Mr. Moare used to say. “I was worth less than rothing, when Betattie came to me. He had been to the bank and drawn out every cent he had saved—$2,000. ‘Take it,’ he said: ‘I got it from you, and you're welcome to keep it as long you want it.’ Mr. Moore accepted the sum to tide him over some minor transac- tions which brought him large pro- fits and reestablished his credit. Then came the organization of the com- panies which brought great wealth to the Moores. Moore never forgot the service of Reattie. He paid back the $2,000 many times over, and placed Beattie in the way of investments that netted him more than $100,000. ‘“Anyone wha worked for Mr. Moore wculd have done what I did,” said FBeattie after the funeral of his late employer yesterday at Lake Geneva.

Eno, executed June 18, 1915, was set ide by a Jjury before Surrogate Cohalan. The trial of the will contest begun by nephews and nieces and other relatives of Mr. Ena lasted more than eight weeks. The jury, after de- liberating four hours, reported that Mr. Eno was not mentally competent to execute a will at the time he signed the document. Xhe will contest involved at least $12,000,000 and is said to have been one of the largest brought in this country. The contestants produced more than 200 witnesses to testify that Mr. Eno was mot in his right mind during the last year of his life, Alienists said he suffered from senile dementia and friends and employes who had often seen the wealthy real estate owner said he had acted in a strange manner. Ta offset this evi- dence the proponents brought forward rearly 200 persons who said Mr. Eno was a nermal man up to the day of his death. Noted alienists replied to the other noted alienists that Mr. Eno vas entirely sane. Gifford Pinchot and Amos R. E. Pinchot, nephews of Mr. Eno, each of whom wins more than $1,000,000 by the verdict, were in hand, together with other contestants, when the jurars returned. The court room be- came a scene of jubilation as soon as Surrogate Cohalan had dismissed the perfunctory request of Wallace Mac- Farlane, for Columbia University, to set aside the verdict on the ground that it was against the weight of evi- dence. Will Now Offer 1914 Will, The contestants now will offer for probate a will executed by Mr. Eno in January, 1914, in which Columbia TUniversity is not mentioneed. By the will which now is set aside Columbia received the entire residuary Relatives were estate. immediately in arms on hearing of the will, asserting that Mr. Eno must have been influenced while mentally unsaund by Lucius H. Beers and William Mitchell, the executors. The nephews and nieces erted that throughout his life ‘Mr. Eno had been particularly averse to colleges, except those which taught specific trades. He dubbed all college men “loafers and drunkards,” accord- ing to a dozen witnesses. Both by the terms of an agreement made with the cantestants of the will and by the terms of the January, 1914, document, which th ek to | probate, Columbia University is the only heavy loser. The General Society | of Mechanics and Tradesmen, which loses $1,800,000 by the contest, re- ceives a legacy of $2,000,000 in the January, 1914, will. John B. Stanchfield, chief of coun- sel for the contestants, announced that all institutions but Columbia would lose nothing by the contest. Thus the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural His- tory and the Society for Improving the Condition of the Poor each will treceive $250,000. The New York Public Library will receive $50,000, | together with any books, paintings and prints which it desires to take fram the large Eno collection.

The executors of the contested will were represented by Henry De Forest Bald- win, Calumbia by Wallace MacFar- ane, Stephen C. Nash and Kenneth M. Spence, and there were more than a dozen other widely known attorneys for legatees. By the will of January, 1914, now to be offered for probate, the entire residue goes to Henry C. Ena and Mary E. Pinchot, brother and sister to Mr. Eno, both of whom are dead. They also received in addition $600,- 000 each. This large fortune, of no less than $6,000,000, naw goes to their heirs. Gifford Pinchot, Amos R. Pin- chot and Lady Johnstone receive the share of their mother, Mrs. Pinchot, each having at least $1,000,000 in- stead of the $250,000 left to each by the contested will. Professor Henry Lane Ena, who received $50,000 under the latter will, gets his father’s share by the earlier one, about $3,000,000. The share of his son, Amos R., Is cut by the contest from $1,500,000 to $1,000,000. The Graves children re- celve $125,000 each instead of $25 000 all told.

Kitching, 11 Seaman avenue, has fin- ally decided to accept the “tainted” money accumulated by her uncle, Francis F. Ripley, who gave up a job as bank clerk more than twenty years ago to lend money on his own count, and loaned S0 success! that when he died, Kovember 11 las in a furnished room in Schermerhorn street, Brooklyn, he had amassed a fortune of $201,498. At that time it was thought Mi Kitching would get $50,000, amount Ripley had jotted opposite her name in a tattered memorandum hook containing other items, but she having detected a fancied taint in the man- ner of its accumulation, announced that she would accept no part of the estate. Later after the transfer tax appraiser had disallowed all other claims, holding Miss Kitching the sole heir, she manifested signs of a chang- ing mind. That she has changed her mind, definitely and finally, has become known through an application to Sur- rogate Ketcham of Brooklyn for per- mission to compromise claims agsre- gating $75,000. 1f this application is granted, Miss Kitching will receive $126,498 instead of $50,000 she at first refused. The purpose of the compromise is to avoid expensive litigation. The claimants, to withdraw suits waive interest amounting to $15,570 on condition that their claims are paid in full, are: Brooklyn Children's Ald Society, $10,000; TLong Island College hospital, $20,000; Hospital of St. Giles the Cripple, $10,000; W Home, $13,000; Brooklyn $12,000, and Annie A. Ingalls, The names of these cl Th the amounts mentioned jotted alons- slde, were found in the same memo- randum book in which the money lender bad written his niece’s same and were taken to indicate the writ- s testamentary intentions. Whet .r from carelessness or a character tic impulse to save lawyer's fees, Mr Ripley never put hls testamentary wishes into legal form, and for that reason the apprais held that he had died intestate and gave the en- tire estate to Miss Kitching as the only living relative. who have consented already begun and 10,000, i We can.
