COL. BETTs,s WILL.

Experts Consider It n Suspicious
Looking Papcr-nfrs. Belts Files n
Cnveat.
Tho paper filed with the register pur-
porting to be the last will of Col. VIM. II.
Belts was yesterday examined by several
persons, including experts. 1t was per-
foctly plain that it had been tampered
with, and some of the changes were in
such places as to create suspicion that the
alterations had not been made for an
honest purpose. Mrs. Belts also filed q
caveat objecting to the filing Of the paper
on the ground that it is not the last will
of the testator, rs she claimed she would
be able to show upon the hearing of the
case. When the case was called the petit
tion of Mr.. Shaffer that he be permitted
to turn over to the register of wills tho
property of the deceased held by him was
read and the court made an order to that
effect. Mr.. Pelham wished somo action
taken in regard to the will, but tho judge
said it was unnecessary at that time, us no
one had come forward TO prove it or ask
for its admission to probate and record.
1t would be considered hereafter.
Mrs. w. II. Belts entered suit yester-
day for the recovery of her husbands 8
estate, retained by DIR. b. b. Jolley, and
succeeded in recovering all of tho prop
erty in his possession. Tho court also
ordered Mr.. Shaher to turn in tho money
Of Col. Betts's which he has. Unless DIR.
Jolley should press tho alleged will of
Col. Belts, the tempest in n teapot over
this estate may be regarded as in state
of subsidence. If he does press it, tho
widows legal advisers promise him a
lively time.

Growth Of u Rumor.

While awaiting the conclusion of the
services over their deceased comrade,
John II. Fowler, Department Commander
Alexander and several other Grand Army
men discussed the news of the Presidents
indisposition. Mr., Alexander mentioned
the fact that newspaper man had told
him that Postmaster General Gresham
had called but was unable to see Gen.
Arthur. This was passed along the line
Of waiting comrades, growing as it trav-
eled, until it reached the last man in the
line in the form that "the President was
in dying condition, and the cabinet had
been summoned to New York, but Judge
Gresham had been refused admittance to
his room; that he had not more than an
hour to live ut last accounts"
