Recently Judge Zoller dismissed a-suit brought by four

~relatives df the woman, asking
$350, 900.of the estate, enjoining

of ~the -pradbate of ~the will, and

appointing a receiver for the estate.

The woman was Mrs, ~Mary

4948, is ~being contested in sur

Nerother, ~Dr. William ~H. ~Shelden

enced against this course by the

of Rome, Italy.

The suit before Judge Zoller
was brought by four cousins the
Misses Lucy Latham, ~Margaret
Price and Catherene Humphry of
Syracuse, and Arthur Latham of
Auburn, each of whom was given $100 under the will.

In dismissing the action, Judgs
Zoller held that the facts alleged
in the complaint did not constitute a ~sufficient cause of acton
and that he~had no power to:resstran proceedings in surrogate~s
court for probate of the will.

The plaintiffs had elleged that

A newsman informed Willie

that his last hope of life faded

The youth expressed his resigfiation to death by saying: ~I am

~Last week's decision of the~

three-man pardon board marked
the third time the group had voted unanimously to
Francis a second time. His lawyer, Bertrand DeBlanc, employed
every legal means in a year-long
fight to save the youth~s life for
a crime that metted him $4.
