FORTUNE SECURED.
Woman's Seven Children in
Seven Years.
STRANGE TORONTO WILL,
TORONTO, April 6,
Charles Miller, a brilliant lawyer and an incorrigible practical joker, who died seven years ago, left 500,000 dollars ( £100,000 a,t par) to the Toronto mother giving birth to the largest number of children in the ten years following his death.
Mrs. Grace Bagnato, the mother of 21, of whom six have been born since Miller died, with another baby expected in three months, is leading for the prize.
The second claimant, Mrs. Henry Brown, has had 27 children —six since Miller died—but cannot have any more. No other claimant has a possible chance to beat Mrs. Bagnato. Miller wrote his own will. His .bequests included parcels of distillery shares to leading clergymen.
