those here who lsy claim to s portion OF
the Besn estate Samuel II. BAconi one
OF the heirs residing in this city, does not
o. Meve in the validity OF the new will
alleged to have been found any more than
in the viii which was formerly produced
and pronounced invalid, He said to The
CAST L correspondent Tonight:
You see there gre lot Of p 'ople in
Texas who seem very ANXIOUS that
the estate should not go to heirs resid
ing out Of the STATE, ard they seem Will
irg to 60 to any length 10 csrry their
point. The only thing that surprises us
is that there have rot been more wills
found Of the same character as this one
don't believe in the leSst in It's validity,
and it is more than likely inst some peo-
pie will get themselves into trouble
, about it"
Mr.. Bacon states that the Washington
J heirs have obtained evidence in the last
week or two that strengthens their cass
materially, and they are confident theiI
, case will be successful unless valiC
