The priests and bishops of the territory included in the archdiocese remained for the reading of the will, whica bequeath- ed all the property to the late arch- bishop of the church.

Father Murphy, of the archiépisco- pal household, addressed those in the middle of the wide aisles, and the Priests were requested to stand in single file agafnst the pews.
