CROKER WILL NOW - ACCEPTED AS TRUE Widow Wins- Step n-Gourt and Will Qualify as Administrarix West Palm Beach, Fla, July 16.— Three children of Richard Croker, former Tammy chieftain, lost another step in thelr contest of his will when Country Judge R. P. Robbins admit- ted to probate here yesterday the will he made on October 12, 1919, at (Glencairn, his estate in Dublin, Ire- land, bequeathing to his widow, Mrs. Bula E. Croker, his entire estate valued at $10,000,000. Accepted as the last will and testa- ment of the late political boss, it re- vokes all other such documents. The three children, Richard, Jr., Howard and Ethel, who have prosecuted a long court fight to overturn the will on grounds that Mrs. Croker, his sec- ond wife, exerted undue influence over her husband in his later years, and other charges, announced through their attorney that they would ap- peal the decision. Attached to the will was a codicil written by Croker on November 15, of the same year, to his wife request- ing that she give his daughter, Flor- ence, 10,000 pounds sterling because “she ‘is the only one of my surviving children that has ever shown any gratitude to me.” Mrs, Croker cannot take possession of any part of the estate, save Cro- ker's personal property here, valued at $5,000, until settlement of the case involving $110,000 in municipal bonds which were seized from a local bank vdult last October as security for few- eral tax payments. . \Her attorneys sald, however, that the way now is clear for her to ap- ply for ancillary papers of adminis- tration to supersede the New York Trust company as administrators of the estate. 5 The court action yesterday followed the sustaining ten days ago of Mra. Croker's demurrer to objections filed by the three children to her original petition for probate of July 8, 1922, During the litigation, here, the will was sent to Dublin and admitted to probate there June 15, 1923, Mrs, Croker expects to qualify as sole executrix of the estate with the filing of temporary bonds of $10,000 today. She plans to leave for . New York city tonight and sail for Ireland July 19 with her mother, “WARSPITE” STOKERS WIN Rodman Cup Is Captured By Crew of Cutter—Great Enthusiasm Is Indi- cated.
