NIGRO LEAVES A SECOND WILL Two I)ocummlts .\ow on File, Each Purporting to Dis- pose of $500,000 Estate RS T Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 9. The copy of a second will made by the late Fabrizio Nigro, who died a few days ago, leaving an estate valued at about $500,000, was filed for probate late this afternoon by Attcrney Charles F. Hanlon of San Francisco on behalf of Francisco Alberti and Domencio A. Alberti, who are nominated as trustees of the estate for the purpose of man- aging the same until all the indebted- ness has been paid off. Special men- tion is made of a mortgage held by the Hibernia Bank on the Poodle Dog restaurant property at Mason and Eddy San Francisco, which, Nigro was anxious to have paid off before the estate should be distributed. This will was witnessed by Attorney Charles Hanlon and Dr. Mario A. Rossi. The original has been lost and the copy filed is one that some of the par- ties interested in the estate hall pre- served. It was made in 1901, while the one filed a few days ago was made in November, 1903. Within two months after he made the second will, how- ever, Nigro was declared incompetent to manage his own affairs and it will be contended that he was not of sound mind when he made the first one. | i | %2 | protect which he was making his trip If a successful contest can be made against the last will the prior one will then be presented as his real desire as to the disposition of his property. Nigro states in his first will that he married in 1875, and that since that time he had not accumulated more than $2000 by his own exertions, and for this reason assgerts that the property is his own individual property. He sat and watched his estate grow by adding the interest to the principal in the form of improvements, until it assumed mag- nificent proportions. In this will, with an eye to the economy he had main- tained throughout his life, he Jeaves his widow and adopted daughter, Made- leina Gordon, $25 a month each and $50 a year each for clothes. If they should decide to live apart, then they are to be allowed what the trustees shall con- sider proper. They are eventually, how- ever, to get the estate the same as it is given to them in the second will., In the last will there is no provision for trustees and mother and adepted daughter are appointed executrices and share the estate between them.
