BENEDICT'S WIDOW GETS HIS ESTATE
She Is Requested to Distribute $1,200 Yearly Among Other Relatives
The holographic will of Courtland S Benedict, banker and business man, who died January 7, was filed yesterday in the probate department of the superior court by the Union Trust company, in whose custody it had been placed. The will was written on a sheet of scrap paper and contained but 80 words.
The entire estate is left to the widow, Mrs Emma Hayes Benedict, who is requested in the will to distribute yearly at her direction $1,200 among the other surviving relatives, consisting of two sisters, Mrs Lena Benedict Holley and Mrs Arabella Benedict Barringer, both of Flatbush, NY.
The bulk of the property, which is believed to approximate $250,000 in value, consists of cash and stock iin the Hastings Clothing company, received by Courtland S Benedict in the compromise settlement effected a few months ago in the contest begun by him over the will of his only son, Egbert J Benedict, who died at the Fairmont Hotel in the early part of 1911, leaving his entire estate to his widow, Mrs Emily Whistler Gillson Benedict. The suit, which was a cause celebre in the local courts, developed the fact that when the wife of the elder Benedict, Sophie Judson Benedict [sister of Egbert and James Judson, well known in the chemical and powder business], died in 1904, intestate, he voluntarily relinquished to his son the half of the estate to which he was entitled under the law.
It was alleged in the complaint that the son subsequently became addicted to drink and was under the influence of his wife, nearly 15 years his senior, whom he married in El Paso, Texas, August 18, 1905. Mrs Egbert Benedict was a divorcee, formerly the wife of a politician, John Gilson. Mr Courtland Benedict married his nurse, Miss Hayes, in 1906, and has been unfriendly with the wife of his son ever since. Great bitterness was engendered by the litigation, the younger Mrs Benedict refusing to visit the second wife of her father in law-her husband also refused to see his stepmother, who is named as the chief legatee in the will filed yesterday.
