The morning times., 1895-08-30

The will of the late Judge Holt, which
came to Register of Wills Wright by mali
on Monday, VIII not be Offered for pro-
bate to-day unless the plans of those most
interested are changed by some happening
this morning.
The genuineness of the will seems to be
well-estalaished and the contest by the
heirs-at-iaw, it is now expected, will be
based upon the lack of information as 10
where it has been since it was made, upon
the verbal statements by Judge Holt that
be intended TO provide for his own relatives
and the servants. especially Washington
Holt going to show that another will is in
existence and upon the supposition that the
viii was puTpOsely burned SO as TO destroy
an Endorsement by Judge Holt rendering IL
invalid. No substantial evidence has yet
been produced that slip of paper was found
signed by Judge Holt, or in his undoubted
hand writing, stating that he made another
will
MISS HYNES' ATTORNEY.
Hon c. c. McChord, OF Springfield, KY,
for several years State railroad commits
sioneF, aDd-one of the ablest Young lawyers
In that State, arrived here yesterday as
the representative OF his aunt, Miss Lizzie
Hynes, one of the two legatees. He took
a room al the Ebbitt House, where lac held
a long conference last night with Mr.. Luke
Deylin. executor under the viii
They have not yet determined what legal
assistance they viii secure. and have no
word vel from Miss Throckmorton or her
representatives which they could make
public They are interested 10 find from
whom The witt came, and may wait some
weeks before Offering ii for probate, in
order 10 unrayel the mystery.
II is probable, however, they VIII offer
it as soon as satisfactory arrangements
| for attorneys can be made in conjunction
with Miss Throckmorton, or her father.
Mr. McCbord has in his possession q
number OF letters from Judge Holt 10
| his aunt. Among them is one. In 1885,
| in which he speaks OF MS viii made in her
/ favor. This is taken as contTibutory eyi-
dnnce Of the authenticity OF the VIII, for
! il could not refer 10 the viii of iS4S, which
was probably made while Miss Hynes was
at Judge Holt's home in Louisville, ana the
win OF 1873 is the only other known TO
have been made.
WRITTEN BY THE SAME HAND.
Mr McChord compared the writing in
/ Jgdge Holt's letters with that in the viii
and faid both were written by the same
hand He said he had no question Of the
/ ganuinenaHs of Judge Hoit's signature, but
1 OF course knew nothing personally OF the
witnesses writing. He was sure any will
! yet TO he found would make his aunt a
| beneficiary, as Judge Holt regarded his
! first wifs's request to care for her cousin as
sacred. He had sent her an allowance
regularly 10 the time of isdeath.
Judge Holt always visited at Mr. Nc
/ Chord fathers home in Lebanon when he
went to Kentucky on one occasion, when
! there. one OF the girls OF the house played
4 upon the piano for him. He was much
pleased ana said the child showed talent
! After his return 10 Washington he sent her
a $500 piano.

the beneficiary lie said when Judge Holt
! was absent in Kentucky one time Mrs.

| jersey avenue residence. She had the
1 carriage out nearly every day and made
the servants work harder than their en-
ployer did.
FORBADE HER THE HOUSE.
When Judge Holt returned he went at
once to see Mrs Throckmorton. When he
| returned he told the servants never TO al
| low her 10 come into the house The
children. one Of whom was his godohild,
Josephine, frequently came over from their
| grandmother's on street, just around
the corner. as they had been accustomed
TO do, but be would never gee them. Mr..
Johnson said Miss Hyncs was always spoken

| will
friend of Judge Holt said yesterday be
had a talk with him about wills within
the last two years, and that Judge Holt
told him that Washington Holt was his
heir and executor This is the strongest
evidence yet adduced against the will now
produced, but is not regarded as very i'm
portant.
