that a certified copy of the will might
be substituted. Upon the alleged will

attorney for Virginia Fair and Mrs.
Herman Oelrichs, of New Yark, daugh-
ters OF the deceased. The attorneys
for Charley Fair, their brother, came
into court with Mr.. Lloyd and appar-
emily approved the proceedings. There
is no longer any doubt that the three
children have combined TO fight for
the probate OF this latest alleged will.
Under its provisions the vast estate
would be divided almost equally be
tween the two daughters and Charley,
and the distribution would be made at

fered for probate these children would
get only the income from the estate
during their term of life and upon the
death of all of them the estate would
be divided into three equal parts, one
part going TO the children of Mrs. Oel-
richs, one part to the children of Nlr-
ginia Fair, unless she died without is
sue, when this share would revert to
the children Of Mrs. Oelrichs, and the
remaining one-third to the families Of

of the deceased. Charley Fairs re-
cent marriage caused an estrangement
between himself and his father, and he
was cut off with a life interest in. the
income of the estate. His widow
would receive nothing. In other re-
spects the will first produced and the
will produced to-day are very similar.
In the second will, however, Charles
Fair receives a special bequest OF
100000 to be paid Immediately before
the distribution of the estate. Messrs.
Angus and Crothers and Mr. Mark Liv-
ingstOn are named as executors unJer

to be a forgery. Further probate pro-
ceedngs were finally continued until
