BRlDGEPOR'I‘, N. 3., March 24——
Mrs. Julia Atltington, eighty years
old and so poor she works daily in a._
tailor shop. said today she would try
to have reopened the probated of the
will left by her sister. Fannie Crosby.
the famous hymn writer.
This will‘ was admitted to probate
two weeks ago. After making a few
minor bequests. it left the. residue to
Mrs. Florence Booth, with whom Miss
Crosby had boarded for seven years.
To Miss Athington was left only a. few
trinkets.
"Mrs. Booth says she is a niece of
my sister and myself." said Mrs. Atha ,
lngton today. "We never had any-
such niece. I am, certain that my sis-
ter intended to do better by me. The
will that was probated is exactly like
the one‘ my sister made several years
ago, except that in giving the residue
to me this will gives it to Mrs. Booth.
I was seldom permitted to see my sis
tar. and. then only when Mrs. Booth
was present.
"For many years my sister's earn-
ings were deposited in our Joint names
but later in Mrs. Booth’s name.
I have decided to ask the probate
court to investigate the Whole mat-
tar."
