Court . of Appeals Upholds 8 Bequest to Issue Unborn When Will Was Drawn, ~ Louls Gordon Hamersiey, nineteen Years old, was to-day assured of 1's ight to his inheritance of $7,600,000 or more from his cousin, Louis C, Ham- ersley, who died three years before the doy was born, By a decision of the Court of Appealr announced at Albany last evening the will of Louls C. ersley, leaving his residuary estate finally to the first male ‘ssue of his only blood relative, has been upheld. William de la Poer Beresford, the son of Lily, Duche: was L. C. Hamersl of the making of the will, does not get ‘& cent out of the estate except what his mother saved out of the income whie she was enjoying a life interest in the proceeds until she died. The Duchess, who after the death of fe of Lord Wiillam Boresford, died The right of Louis Gordon yy to the whole of the resid wary estate have been in the courts ever ince. CONTESTED RIGHT TO MAKE UN- BORN CHILD AN HEIR. Tt has been the contention of the law- ers for young Beresford and for the descendants of John Mason, founder of the Chemical Bank, on the fortunes of which the Hamersley estate was found- ed, that Louis C. Hamersiey had no right to leave his money to a child to be bor of a relative of a cousin who ‘was thi a unmarried, fe of Louls Gordon Hamersley and@ of his alter, Katherine Livingston Hamersley, who is two years older than the heir to the fortune, has been the aubject of eentimental gossip al Fifth avenue and in Newport for many years. Left orphans at a tender age, their guardians, the New York Lif« others, put the whole upbringing in the hands of Mrs. Sarah E. Lowe, with “whom they lived at No, 1090 Fifth ave- nue, at Elghty-fourth street, for many. Becta Until they were fourteen years old they Wére ignorant of the great fortune which was likely to come to the brother and the comfortable competence (about $550,000), which was to.be inherited by the girl. They were trained by tutors nd athletic instructors, and their play- mates were selected for good sense and simplicity rether than for aristocratic ancestry. GIRL ONCE REPUTED FIANCEE OF VINCENT ASTOR. When they were separated and the young man Was sent away to school, @ie school wes estebiished in the wth avenue mansion in which his sister was one of the pupils. Except for a report that Miss Ham- ersiey was engaged to Vincent Astor— swhich was denied by everybody ocon- gornet—they have kept out of print and rave kept out of strong Nght which uaually follows the youthful heirs of the exceedingly rich. Each came into the undisputed inheritance of $250,000 on the death of Mra. Mar. Anne Chisholm, their grandmother, a few weeks ago. Mie vrother and sister have a country place at Barrytown, N. Y., where they fave mniertained large parties in a simple way. The two were taken by Robert W. Champers as the eubjects of his fanciful novel of luxuriously rich New York life called ‘The Danger Mark." An effort ‘was made to draw the young people and their guardians into Httgation against the novelist, but they declined to exploit the work at thelr own expense. ——$—<—$————— NOT AMA, GOLDDN, (From the Deseret News.)
