ton that the will is a forgery is absurd.
Its history is little peculiar, but no one
should think for moment that reputable
attorneys would introduce it into court
until they had become thoroughly con-
vlnced that 1t was genuine. The names OF
the attorneys fathering the will ought to
have considerable weight. CARRIER, Boalt.

Attorney Lloyd's office yesterday" said
Captain Lees last evening, land L also saw
Photographic copy of it. While / did
not examine it very closely, L must say
that 1t has many of the Fair earmarks
about it. There were quite a number of
attorneys in the office at the time. They
were Knight, Lloyd and others who are in
terested in the case. The original will was
shown, then Photographic copy of it was
produced and those present were asked to
sign the COPY"
The attorneys for the executors do not
hesitate to pronounce the new will a
forgery R. B. Mitchell said:

Everybody knew about it. Still on March q a
lead-pencil will is filed.
some things are funny to man up tree,
and must confess it is curious too. 1t is clearly
our position to defend the certified copy of the
stolen Will; We believe it to be the last will of
Fa1r, and that the other one is bogus. The will
looks odd: One of the pages is written on
ORDINARY letter paper and the other is on type
writer paper.
Tee other attorneys must account for the
whereabouts OF the new will from September
"A to March 1S. 1t is certain that it received
very careless treatment, and that is not very
much like Jimmy Fair. He was very careful
about the will left with us. He put it in an en-
yelope and Endorsed on the back of it that it
was his will.
Carrot McEnerney, the attorney for w.
S. Goodfellow, simply said: 1.-The will is
undoubtedly "a forgery, and we will fight to
have the certified copy of the real will adj
mitted to probate"
Angus and Bresse both admit the hand
writing in the new will is very similar to
that of the deceased Senator, but they will
both fight to have the new will declared
forgery.
Attorney Kowalsky, who always has
opinions in will cases, said: This re,
minds me of the Dana will case. sui
contend that the mysteriously found VIII
which was admitted to probate was
forgery. Attorneys Lloyd and wilson,
who are putting forth this new VIII, were
also the attorneys who backed up the
Dana will. which 1 believe was forged;
This new will has very fishy. aspect, anu
