BERLIN, August 20. With reference to the report of Enver Pasha's death the newspapers publish a statement from Moscow that he was killed in the fighting near Novopetrovsk in the West Caspian, but it is rumoured in Moscow that he was assassinated by bolshevist emissarias. Meanwhile his death is still unconfirmed. Enver's wife, who is living at Tierlin with their three children, has no news of his death apart from what has appeared in the press.

The Earl died in May 1921, and the plain- tiff, Mr. L. W. MeLeod ki olicitor, propounded the disputed will dated September 24th, 1920. The defen dant, John George Charles Alexan- der Chetwynd (7) Earl of Shrewsbury and grandson of the late Earl (who appeared by his guardian, the Mar- quess of Anglesey) alleged that the will was not duly arecated, that testator did not know and approve its contents, that at the time he was not of sound mind, and that the execu- tion of the will was obtained by the
