sow was the grandson meant oy
the testator. When the will was
probated and the property distrib
uted John Mesow, the grandson,
and a favorite of the dead man,
got the property at 300 Newark
avenue. It subsequently fell into
the possession of Joseph Holler-
eith, who, on his death, left it to
his widow. * ..
The three sons of John Mesow,
Benjamin, Louis, and Herman,
received a legacy of $100 each, but
as there was no personal property,
they got nothing. They died and
left their legacies to their sister,
Fredika Mesow, who became of
age four years ago. She consulted
counsel regarding the will and al
leges that the absence of the com
ma between the words stepson and
John Mesow makes It uncertain
which “beloved” grandson was
meant.
By the eighth clause of the will
the residue of the estate was given
by Louis 'Mohl “to my beloved
grandson, John Mesow, aforesaid. ”
If the fourth clause is declared in
valid the Newark avenue house
would be a part of the residue, it
is said, and the personal legacies,

years, amounts to $l,(j|p.
