However, Mr. Stiil left all but a few dollars of his $200,000 estate to his widow and the young woman. To George E. Still, a son by his first wife, was bequeathed real estate so encumbered that if he ac- cepts it he will be out $2,000.

De Lacy, of the Woolworth Building A fow hours after the codiclt was| signed Mr. Still was taken to an in- Sane asylum and shortly afterward committed by Justice Page. SON NOW CHARGES FRAUD IN FIRST WILL. In February the son obtained a Sur- Fogate's citation ordering Mr. De Lacy to produce the secon. will, When the will was presented the signature was missing.
