4 CONFLICT OF WILLS.

A Pair of Wills of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines
offered for Probate-More Litigation In
Prospect. Ea
NEW ORLEANS, La, January2L
The succession of Myra Clark Gainesbids
fair to be as fruitful Of litigation as that
of her father. The day after her death
two wills were offered for probate, each
purporting to be her last will and testa-
ment. The first one fled bore date jan
uary Sth, and was as follows:
7. Myra Clark Gaines, being of so;fnd mind.
bcuuelth to my excellent friend, Mss. Juliet
Ia Perkins, "a token OF my esteem and
love, that part Of my estate known as tne
Fuentes property, and to my friend Mrs
Marie L, Evars, one third OF the remainder
OF my entire estate, the balance to be equal
ly divided between my grantcnildren- lap
point Mrs. Marie L. Evans my teStamentary
executrix and detauer OF my entire estate
without bond.
This document appears to be in the
handwriting of Mrs. Gaines, and is ac-
companied by n letter dated Washington,
last August, in which the deceased writes
Mrs. Evans, offering her one-third OF her
estate and appointing her executrix and
ietainer without bond.
The other will is filed by William H.
Wilder, an old friend OF the deceased.
and James I. Christmas, who are therein
aamcd testamentary executors without
bond. The will is dated January 9Th,
and after directing the payment OF just
debts, bequeaths to Mrs. Virginia Davis,
at whose house she died, tract of 500
acres of land on Plaquemine Brusle, st.
Landry Parish; to her daughter, Mrs.
Whitney, and son-in-iaw, Christmas, and
their heirs, she gives 100000 each, to-
gether with all real and personal proper
ty not otherwise devised.
The other beQuests are as follows:
Edmund Pendleton Gaines, son of her late
husband, $4,000; George Benson, Mari
eta, Ga; Rev. John Harmon, of Missis--
sippi, and her god-chiid Myra Mazerat,
$40, 900 each. This will reyokes all pre-
vious ones, and bears the names OF five
witnesses to the testator's mark, she be-
ing too Ill to sign ner name. The attor--
neys for the parties to the last mentioned
will have filed an objection to the pro-
batting of the first one, alleging IL Is not
genuine, Mrs. Gaines being too i'll the
day before her death TO have written the.
document, US evidenced by her inability
to merely sign her name three days pre-
vious. They therefore ask that it be
thrown out So the case stands at,
present. The matter will soon come up
for decision before Judge Houston.
