Burke in the Westerly probate court gave a hear- ing Tucsday afternoon, on the petition of the widow of Chayles D. Chapman for the allowance of furniture and certain household articles, to which she is entitled, she alleges, under the statutes. Former Governor James H. Higgins_appeared for the widow and Judge Nathan B, Lewis, executor of the estate, opposed the petition. Gov- ernor_ Higgins stated that $16,606.10 was the inventory value of the estate, Which was clearly solvent, and any allowance that the court might make would not be prejudicial to the' in- terest of creditors, who were farther secured by valuable real estate. Gov- s2ins said the furniture had been soid and the title of purchasers was not to be touched, but that the widow was entitled to the money. re- alized from the sale, as the furniture legally belonged to her after her hus- band’s death evén if they had lived apart. He said the widow had re- ceived no notice that the furniture ‘was to be sold and that he knew noth- ing of the sale until the fureiture had been disposed of-by public auction and private sale. He sald the widow was not required \to file petition for the possession of the furniture within any specified_time, but within a reasonable time. The fact that Mrs. Chapman had not been living with her husband id not impair her rights, and if Mr. Chapman had maintained a winter &3 | 20d a summer home, the widow would be entitled to the furniture in both homes. The furniture sale realized $1,¢ Mr. Chapman died in Jan- uary, the executor was appointed Feb. 16, 1916, and the furniture sale was held March 28, widow’ 1916. Judge Burke reserve dhis decision.
