Had Dionnes Lived In Toronto They Would Have Won $600,000 TORONTO ONT. Aug. 20—An estate worth 4600,000 would have 5*:. •>’.» lot of the DIOnne family had the parents of the famous quln t ipleu 11’. ed In this city Instead of ir. Cordell, Two yen’* hence, decision will have to he made on one of the *triiiK*it wills ever made In Can sda ana the Dtcnne family will lose cur by a couple of hundred miles. In 1936, Charles Miller, who be sides being a lawyer noted for his eccentricities also was one of the test known spom followers and boys about town" In Toronto. He carried his eccentricity and tendency for joking to his will, which provides that most, of his es tate goes to the Toronto mother oho gives birth to the most children in the decade following his death. Had he made it the mother In the province of Ontario, of which Toronto is the capital, instead of the city itself. Mrs. Dionne would have been an easy winner. As it Is. there are two leading in tire race Mrs. Grace Bagnato. an Ttjallan police court interpreter, hu rBSadv brought seven children into the world since Miller’s death. One of the births the last one. may not count, as it was a stillborn. That will be an issue for the courts to decide. Another woman. Mrs G. Brown. has given birth to six children and gll are alive, so uo to now it seems a neck-and-neck race by Mothers Bagnato and Brown for the 6600. 000. Friends of Miller don’t kn<?w just rhether he ever intended the will to be taken seriously, despite *he fact that it, is drawn out to the let ter of the law It was written during a wild par ty as s joke, his pals say. and be came a most serious document by his death only a few days after ward. Tending to the belief it, w-as meant as a joke are the bequests oi brewing company and Ontario Jock ey club shares to leading church men and prohibitionists of the city The bequests were made and the recipients turned them over to chav But then there is Miller’s state ment that he meant what he said Here is » footnote to the document in his oun handwriting: “This will is necesaartly uncom mon and capricious because I have no near relative* and no duty rests upon me to leave property at my death and what 1 do leave is proof i of my folly in gathering and re taining more than 1 required in my lifetime.” Many distant relatives have made several futile attempts to obtain a portion of the estate. The Ontario ! government legal expert* have de cided that the estate shall be pre sented according to the purpose set out by Miller, for the Toronto moth ,er who in the ten years ending October 31. 1936. shall have brought I most babies into the world.
