The will of George Brook who died in Westerly, Sept. 13, 1518, -was. admitted to probate. All rersonal and real estate is bequeathed to four daughters of the deceased, and a son-in-law, E.

An hour was occupied in the reading of the deposi- tion of Mary Craveling, a witness of cne of the wills, which was taken in New Jersey.

Another witness to this will, it is claimed, had returned to Ireland, joined the English army and had been killed. It was divulged in the depo- sition that Mrs. Craveling, the wit- ness, is sister of Bessie Netherwood, beneficiary under the second will. Judge Burke was of opinion that the deposition proved prima facie evi- dence of the genuineness of the sig- natures to the second will. Judge Her- bert W. Rathbun announced that the deposition was case. Attorne; Clarence E. Roche and Samuel H. Davis announced that they would contest the will on the ground of absolute forgery, and that Mrs Crandall did not write this will, claimed by Mrs. Netherwood. My Davis showed by letters written by Mrs. Crandall that the handwriting of | the will were not the same and said it ‘did not require an expert to prove forgery. Judge Burke said such a course would tend to make a hand- writing expert out of the court and that was objectionable.
