It took Justice Newburger many hours of study to reach a solution of @ will case which reads like a Chinese puzzle. Tersely this is the matter settled to- day: In 1871 John Henry Semken, a prop- ertv owner of this city, died, leaving a will which provided that his widow should receive the income of his estate as long as she did not marry again In the event of another marringe the property was to go to their child, un- born at the time of the making of the will. John Henry Semken, jr., was born a month after his father's death. Cupid got busy five years late, and much to the surprise of the family a brother of the dead man, Semken, married the widow. He died in 1883. From the union there ure two daughters, now Mrs. Charles Beck- with and Mrs. Anna Clarke, of ti city, and the late Frederick W. Sem- ken, who left two chlidren, Meantime John Henry Semken, jr. received the income of his father's property. He died a bachelor in 14%. This, according to the reading of tne will, left no heir, and the family was in @ quandary. The case was taken tnto the Supreme Court for construction, and Justice Sewburger decided as follows: Geor Semken, a brother of John Hen. \Semken. Sr.. gets Claus D sD.
