Mrs. Lizzie Carter's health is improving,
and in few days she may be expected to
appear at Fruitvale prepared to wrest Pc
terhoff from the widow of the late Count
Peuison. Mrs. Carter was on her way here
from Chicago when she was overtaken by
sickness at Kansas City. AS soon as it
Oakland interested parties secured the
publication of will of the late Count,
which Mrs. Carter denounces as doctored
document.
Mrs. Carter wrote to THE CALL from
Kansas City under date of August 8. In
her letter she says:
Noticing an article in San francisco paper
of July 20 relating to the will OF the late DR..
?. w. Poulson. will say in relation to it that
it is incorrect in several particulars. The
paper preIends TO publish the Will anc yet
leaves out the most important part Of the docu-
ment, which 1t calls esprit WILL The date
of this will is December ID, 1898, but in the
copy sent to a friend in San Francisco mis-
take was made and it was given as '94. Here
is true copy of the will:

this Is my gift IN gratitude thereof.
The instrument then goes on to abuse
hn foc ~ ~ ri
man Pouison," to whom nothing is be-
queathed, "as," it is stated, 'she has been
the curse of my hfa." Imputations are
also cast upon the legality of her mar
riage and the paternity of the child

tinues:

Mrs. Poulson, who resides at Peterhoff
says she fears nothing from all that Mrs.
Carter can do. The widow will not discuss
the will of Count Poulson, but declares
that she is prepared to resist all attacks,
whether they be legal, spiritual or physical.
