The will of Andrew M. Moore of Moore & Sinnott and owner of the Girard house was entered in Philadelphia today but not admitted to probate due to caveats filed by two sons. The estate is valued between 6 and 10 million dollars.

An executor expects caveats to be withdrawn, and execution delayed by law on charitable bequest timing.
