Behind the will of Mrs. Alicia Arm- strong, declare? by Surrogate Silkman, wt White Pinins, to have been forged, which was filed by Misses Eva and Jeorgina Bradley, of Cliffside, N. J., there eveloped a romance which datos back nearly half a century, It 4s declared to be a romance in which thelr father figured as the lover ot Alicia Armstrong when she was a girl dust budding Into womanhood; but it ts @ tragedy, too, in which their mother figured when she wap a young wife, when she was a mother, and now that she is a widow. y Then there Is the will of Joan G Bohn, of Omaha, Neb., who committed suicide in his hotel, The Klondlks, on April 18 last.

Attorney Walter Bherwood, of Union Hill, N. J., who rep- Tesents the Bradleys, mother and daugh- ters, in their civil actions, did his best to secure money. and property willed to by the father, and he represented Bya in the will which made her an heir- eas by the testament of the great uncle. As yet it is not known that any of this money has been secured. The Alleged Forged Will. “It 1s yet to come,” say the neighbors of the Bradleys. ‘But it will come Bure,” declare these same neighbor “There must be some mistake, because the Bradleys are fine people. The girls | @re so pretty and the mother is moth- erly and she is kindly and she goes to @hurch regularly, though she is com- pelled to run a bar-room to support herself and her daughters. It was the will of Mrs. Alicia Arm- strong, who died in Mount Vernon in May last after falling down the stairs, that has brought to light the will con- tests and the alleged forged will in which the Bradleys figure. Mrs, Armstrong was the witow of John 8, Armstrong, a wealthy banker, who was a descendant of Lord Armstrong, the inventor of the Armstrong gun. The Armstrongs had one daughter, Anna, whose death oc- eurred In 1880. After the death of her husband, Mrs. ‘Armstrong became eccentric, She had a umber of nieces and nephews and an adopted son. : . Never did the nfeces “and nephews of the Armstrongs hear of the existefce of the Brasleys until June 12 last, when a will was filed, purporting to be signed by Mrs. Armstrong; which left her tre estate to Eva and Georgina Bradley. The estate amounted to $20,000, The will read: “In the name of God—Amen. “I, Alice Armstrong, of the City of Plainfield, in the State of New York, being ef sound and disposing mind and memory, make and publish my last will and testament as follows: “First—I direct all my just debts and funeral expenses to be paid as soon as after my decease. bequeath and devise unto my beloved friends, Eva Bradley and Georgianna Bradley, ull of my es- tate, real, personal and mixed, that may belong to or be owned by me at the time of my decease, share and share alike. “Third—I give and bequeath the sum of $1 to any of my relatives that may putin a ciaim after my decease. . “Fourth—I pominate, «constitute and ‘appoint Eva Bradiey sole executor of this my last will and testament. “In witness thereof I hereunto set my hand and seal this twelfth day of Feb- ruary, in the year of Our Lord One Thousand and Nine Hundred and Three, “ALICE M.

YOM KIPPUR COMES WITH THE SUNSET The Holiest of Jewish Holy Days to Be Observed in Synagogues and Jewish Homes Through- out the Land. With the setting of the sun to-day will te ushered in to all Jews the holiest of their religious days—Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, the last of ten set aside for the most ceremonious worship known to the Jewish religion. On the east side, lower and upper; on the west side, in all places where Jews aro to be found, the Day of Atonement is observed. For twenty-four hours there is no thought of business or the cares of the world. Fasting and prayer and a laying bare of the soul in the sight of God will be ‘the sole ocoupation of those of the faith. It is the one day on which all Jews lay aside their world- ly affairs to implore their God to free them of their sins and have a watchful eye for them during the coming year. ‘The service varies according to the congregation, the orthodox synagogues following as closely the forms and rites of the days of the Temple as is com-}€ourt, In] demned the prevalence of rowdyism on patible with the new environment, Atonement has been a national day of mourning, ‘Phe chief feature of this evening's service is the Kol Nidre, which Is.@ formula uttered three times and chanted by the congregation. In sulstance the Kol Nidre read vows, renuncta- tlons, prohibitions, obligations of every kind. which we have made, sworn and bound upon us, from this day of atone- ment to the next, we now repent of, and pronounce them broken and of no effect. Our vows are no yowst our oaths are no oaths."” ‘This applies only to those vows. which the speaker binds upon himself, and not those which others bind upon him.’ It {sa meed to human frailty and begs forgiveness in advance for those, vows that will surely te broken. The music of the evening service is particularly solemn. and in all the syna- en the choir singing is a chief fea- ture of the ceremony. To-morrow the prayers and fasting in to-night will be continued, TIGHE SCORES YOUNG ROWDIES Magistrate Fines Three Men for Terrorizing Women in a Car of the Brooklyn Rapid-Tran- sit Company.

The crowd on the streets, amazed out of ac- tlon by the mad dash of both men, had all It could do to avold collision by skil- ful dodging. Roth men were taken to the Tender- loin Station, where Hashim was placed under arrest after Cohen had told his story. Later in the day Hashim was held in $5,000 tn the Jefferson Market Court to awalt examiaation, ‘Threatened with a Hatchet, Cohen said he was a friend of Hashim and at the Invitation of the latter he went to his rooms at 225 West Thirty- eighth street. As soon as the door was closed Hashim grabbed a hatchet which he had secreted in his closet, and brand- isting It over his head, demuaded from the visitor “all that he had about him." “1 am starving, I am,” he said, ‘aad I want everything you have. Give it to me or I will kill you.” Cohen was frightened out of his senses and he immediateiy handed over Mls watch and a diamond ring worth $300. Then not waiting for developments, Hashim, holding the hatchet, rushed out on the street and started down toward Broadway at a fast clip. At the Navarre Hotel he threw the hatchot and the ring into the basement. Mad Race Up Broadway.

Says He Was a Chorus Singer. Hashim was in a deplorable physical condition and the police say that he was plainly in dire want of food. He was a singer {n the chorus of a Broadway show until a few weeks ago when he lost his job, He hired the room on Thir- ty-eighth street last Friday from Mrs. Schultz. tne landlady. who did not even know his name.
