Gel Demi Girl's Share.
By a codicil, added after 'he
daughter's death, her share was giv
en to David S. Kidd, who had seen
the rich Mr. Byrne only once In (lis
life. A trust fund of $1,580,000 was
established in her memory for aiding
wayward girls. David S. Kidd was
named as an executor of the will.
along with the widow and son of Wil
liam G. Byrne.
"It was a peculiar will," the Rev.
David S. Kidd Byrne said, and in
deed it was. For one thing, each ex
ecutor or beneficiary had to prove his
or her Identity in the presence of the
probate judge; no notary or other
attesting officer would do. They were
forbidden to use copies of the will
or other document for the purpose
of raising money on prospective be
quests. It was stipulated that, in
view of the widely scattered condi
tion ot the estate, sworn statements
of the approximate status of each
item must be obtained. The will gave
the executors seven years to accorup-
li'i ;hi, with an extension to ten
years If it was necesary.
The three executors Mrs. Lucy
Sellna Byrne, George W. Byrne and
David S. Kidd set about their task
of rolloctlng proof from the score of
-countries In which Byrne's property
lay. In 1914 Mrs. Lucy Byrne and
her son were In Australia. They were
to go to Europe and in November
meet In Spain the third executor, who
had become the Rev. David S. K.
Byrne, to make an appraisal.
To the best of the Rev. Mr. Byrne's
belief, the widow and her ion came
from Australia to New York, by way
of the Panama Canal, went by train
to Montreal, embarked on the steam
ship. Empress of Ireland and were
drowned in the sinking of thst ves
sel, with the loss of more than a
thousand lives. In the St. Lawrence
River on May 29. 1914. This left the
Rev. David S. K. Byrne, according
to the terms of the will and codicil
as exhibited by him today, sole ex
ecutor and Inherlter of the entire
estate of Wllllanl G. Byrne, except
for the $300.(100 left to servants and
