News of the World By Associated Press ESTART 1SH RN 1870 WILL IS ADMITTED BY PROBATE COLRT No Objection From Heirs to Testament Redraited From Lawyer’s Notes ORIGINAL IS MISSING SINGE DAY OF BURIAL F. A. Wooster Protests Against In- sinuation He Had Heard Advt. Dept., artford, Comn. That Document Was Stolen—Judge Gaftney Not Impressed by Sugges- tion Undue Influence Had Been Brought to Bear On Testator. No opposition was offered to the admission of a reconstructed will at & hearing in the court of probate to- day, by the heirs of Charles C. Big- by, Civil War veteran and well Lnown resident for many years. Frederick A. Wooster of Wooster street, whose wife, Louise Andrews Wooster is one of the beneficiari asserted that there was reason to be- lieve that Mr. Higby should have had a conservator appointed over him 10 years ago and also that un- due influence had_been brought to bear upon him in the making of the will which was lost after passing through the hands of the several heirs who read it after Mr. funeral. Mr. Wooster also told Judge B. F. Gaffney, who presided that the heirs “did not like" the in- sinuations which have been made to the effect that the original will was stolen and Judge Gaffney replied that there was no testimony before the court that it was stolen. The reconstructed will bequeaths $3,000 to Hattie C. Andrews of 65 Purritt street, this city, a niece of the testator, and directs that the rest and residue of the estate be dividsd equally between Miss Andrews, the following nieces, Ella Andrews Secord of Agawam, Mass., Julia An- drews Bidwell of New London, Louise Andrews Wooster of Woosler street, and a nephew, Charles An- drews of New London.

About 0 this morning he was awakened by a sound and seeing the peeper’s profile outlined on the window curtain, he leaped out of bed and swung his fist at the sha- dow.

Running out onto a veranda, Gath tried to catch him and then called the police. Acting Sergeant George Collins and Supernumerary Officer Stanley J.
