Proceedings were resumed before Judge
Levy yesterday on the petition presented
by Frederick B. Chester to have the alleged
lost will of his late father. Edwin S. Ches-

1t is now generally admitted as an indis-
putable fact that Edwin Chester did at
some time of his life execute one will if
not more. 1t IS known that when Chester
was residing in st. Louis. and at that time
a very wealthy man. he executed will. In
which some large requests were made to
his wife. That will he destroyed when he
lost the bulk Of his property. Then, again,
from the evidence submitted at the present
hearing it is probable that Chester exc.

had caused. and of the almost motherly
way in which she had cared for him up to
