H-YEAR OLD GIRL GETS FORTUNE OF $26,836 New York. Edna Dorothy Killlan 14 years old, has received a verdict from a Jury in the circuit court of Hudson county by which she receives the estate of Dr. George C. Grund, amounting to $26,836.35. The doctor was 52 years old, and had been a boarder in the home of the Kllllans for 23 years. There was no will, and no written contract as to the inheri tance; merely the testimony of wit nesses to confirm a verbal contract he had made with the mother of the young girl. The fortunate girl Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Killlan. Kil llan was formerly Water Reglstarer of Hoboken. About three years ago Grund, who had no relatives in the country, said to Mrs. Killlan: "If you care for me till I die or un til you die as you have taken care of me for years I will give what mon ey I have to your daughter." At the time It was thought Mrs. i tne DOy B forced to perform the Killlan would be the one to die first. I full term of three years' -military ser It was known that Grund had a little vlce Rather than face their parents money. The general belief was that afteP failure many boys go out into he perhaps had a $10000. In addition . the C0Untry and shoot themselves, to telling the mother of what he! An tnnuiry opened by the minister would do If she took care of him, haa resulted in orders being issued for vii uuu uou inners 01 me arrange- ment he had made. He died a year and a half ago. and much to the surprise of Hoboken friends, when the public administra tor took charge of the estate he found it more than $26,000. He had found relatives in Ger many, to whom he was about to di vide in accordance with the laws of the state when the suit was brought in behalf of Miss Killlan. The jury heard the case and sus tained the claim that Mrs. Killlan and Grund had entered into a con tract. His remaining in the house until he died was taken as proof that she had fulfilled her part of It, and treated him kindly and cared for him until death. ONE WOMAN'S WAR RECORD.
