munication between his wife and her mother
and sister. His only purpose was, he argued

her.
Mrs. Olmstead. he said, had signed Q will
drawn by her husbands confidential attorney,
Nr. W. Z. Mattingly, and Mr. Olmstead's
sworn statement that he did not know
the contents of his wifcs will until after it
was probated was Mr.. Webb said. the most as
founding proposition he had ever heard. 1t

had made a will giving everything
she. possessed to her husband,
would so to her grave without communicating
its contents to her husband. Preposterous.

part of Dir. Olmstead there was still
more preposterous one, and that was that he
had buried his second wife in the grave OF the
first wife at the second wife's own desire.
