— WESTERLY There was no opposition to the allow- ance of the will of William Clarke, as was expected at the Tuesday afternoon session of the Westerly probate' court, Judge Edward M. Burke presiding, but notice of appeal was filed. This matter was begun at a session of the court two weeks ago, when, after the testimony of Mist Genevieve Burdick, now of New York, one of the witnesses to the will, there was a continuanee to Tuesday. Mr. Clarke was a former president of the Westerly town council, and his will provides that his estate be divided into three equal parts one-third is giv- en the Seventh D Baptist Missionary society, of which he was president many years and president emeritus to the time of his death, one-third to Alfred Uni- versity of which he is a graduate, and the other third to his granddaughter, and only heir-at-law, Mrs. Alexander Fergu- son, of Westerly. The admittance of the will to probate was opposed, through John W. Ferguson, Jr., counsel for Mrs. Ferguson, on the ground of testa- mentary incapacity and undue influence. Mr. Clarke for quite a while made his home with Mys. Ferguson, but after- wards his residence was at the home of Dr. Samuel C. Webster, where Mrs. Web- ster acted as nurse for him during his inal illness. Mr. Clarke was in an enfeebled con- jon for a long time prior to his final iliness, and was not considered compe- tent to attend to his business affairs. Mrs. ned probate the ointed guardian of the person of Mr. Clarke, that the Washing- court ton Trust comy ny be appointed guardi- e. This petition was < counsel, Sam- rke made no op- nship. .

Davis, and en- , the prop- e equal parts, e will specifies. Mrs. Ferguson the natural object of his bounty, does not consider the division Is as Mr. Clarke really intended, and that two great a proportion is given for eharity.
