There has been much speculation as to the value of Archbishop Hennessy’s private estate and there, therefore, will be much interest in the authentic statement of that amount. Archbishop Hennessy’s private estate is valued at $1,400,000. This information comes from St. Paul and is obtained from a statement filed by the executors in court there. An Associated Press dispatch from St. Paul says:

St. Paul, Aug. 3.- The will of the late Archbishop John Hennessy of Dubuque, Iowa, has been filed for probate here by the executors, Roger Ryan and Clement Johannes, of Dubuque. The estate amounts to above $1,000,000, $400,000 of which is Minneapolis real estate and personal property, being situated in Iowa.

The Minnesota property is divided among nine relatives. The Iowa property is divided between relatives and sisterhoods of the church.
