The < (niVilaint, which wa? filed to day on John It. Abney, an attorney of New York city, as administrator of the estate of his brother, recites that It. L. Abney started to rwhle with the former Governor and Mr*. Blease at the Governor's mansion in April, 1U11. during the Bleaae admiuistration, and had lived with the family continuous ly i\ntil his death.

That a considerable part of said time the said decedent was sick, ner vous and irritable, demanded and re quired tactful and constant care, atten tion, service sand nursing, and plaintiff rendered to slid decedent (at much personal sacrifice to herself, use and expenditure of bodily health, strength or vigor) the attentions and care nec essary to meet his needs and demands, and to make his lioone life 'comfortable, to relieve as far as possible his ner vous. Irritable nature and condition. "That the decedent promised and agreed, constantly renewing and re peating said iproml*re? and agreement from time to time to pay and compen sate plaintiff for such services, and especially to make a provision at his death by will to compensate !her for such services, the legal and moral ob ligation of which he constantly recog nized and highly vnhied and appreci ated. - "That tfrtid decedent failed and neg lected to carry out his contract and to comiicnxate the plaintiff for such services. "That ?i\id service**, labors and at tentions so furnished by plaintiff to said Benjamin L. Abney were of the value of and reasonably worth the sum of $100,000." Although no inventory of the Ab ney estate has ever been made public, it is estimated in financial aiid legal circles here to l>e worth approximately $740,000. Other than a few small be quests the whole estate goes to the de ceased's brother, John R. Abney, and Ms sister. Mrs. Lulu Iliuiter of Atlann ta. ? f). W. Robinson, of the .
