De COLA CHARGES
A CONsP TRACY.
Alleges Fraud and Hints
That Miss Dolbeer Was
Helped Out of Window
ARGUMENT is HEARD

Attorney Darwin c. de Cola, counsel
for Horatio Schander in the long legal
battle that has res suited from the sec
ond attempt to break the Will OF the
millionaire heiress, Bertha M. Dolbeer,
took occasion yesterday, In delivering
his closing argument in the case before
Judge Coffey to make sensational
charges of a conspiracy which he al
legged existed between Miss. Warren,
Miss Dolbeer's devisee, and William G.
Mugan, the executor of the will.
De Cola also limited broadly at the
possibility of foul play in connection
with Miss Dolbeer's fatal fall from a
ninth story window of the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel in New York City, declar-
ing that she either deliberately threw
herself from the window or was
helped OUT"
There is not the least doubt in the
world, De Cola declared, that Bertha
Dolbeer precipitated herself from that
window or else was helped out of it.
One or the other must have happened,
for 1t was impossible for her TO fall
out And why was she permitted to go
to that window? Why was it that Miss
Warren did not have attendants to care
for her? Miss Warren must have said
to herself: If you die I'm going to get
your money Go ahead and die
Throughout his address De Cola
made sensational charges right and
left. He asserted that the instrument
purporting to be Miss Dolbeers will
was the tangible result of plan
formed in Miss Warren's mind years
ago. when she first entered the Dolbeer
home as a servant, to gain possession
of the Dolbeer millions, that she needed
confederate and that she found a
willing one in the person of the
"money-loving. Mr. Mugan."
Attorney e. S. Pillsbury made short
argument in behalf of the proponent.
He called attention to the fact that all
questions of unsound mind in the case
of Miss Dolbeer had been disposed of
by the Supreme Court in the trial of
the former contest and declared that
in the present action the mass of tes-
timony introduced to show that undue
influence had been practiced was far
weaker than in the other trial. He
also asserted that there had been no
testimony to show that Miss Warren
had any knowledge of the will.
