Milwaukee, April 5.-LittlR progress
was made yesterday in the negotia-
lions to settle the Schandein will con
test out of court. While the attor-
neys representing the various inter
ests would not discuss the situation
at any great length it is believed
that the case will be called at tGs
o'clock this morning in Judge Hal
sey's courtroom in accordance with
the stipulation entered into seven
weeks ago.
That the case may not be started
is not improbable. Mrs. Clara s.
Heyl, residuary legatee of the estate
which is said to be worth $7,000,0O0
and her husband, Jacob Heyl, executor
under the will, did not arrive in Mil
waukee yesterday. If the trial were
/ to go on as expected it is probable
that Mr. Heyl would be in Milwau-
l1ee. Throughout the proceedings
in the county court, where Judge Car
penter admitted the will to probate.
and throughout all of the preliminary
| proceedings under the sOcaIled dis
covery statute Mr.. Heyl was a con
slant attendant. He watched all
! proceedings carefully and made notes
of important points for the use of the
the attorneys of the proponents OF
the will.
Nelson NJ. Redfeld of Buffalo. N
Y. law partner of Ernest L. F'rfshee-~
legal adviser of Mrs. Lisette Schan--
dein prior to her death and at the
time she executed her will, arrived
in Milwaukee yesterday.
Another conference was held yes
terday with James G. Flanders and
Charles F. Fawsett, attorneys for
Emil Schandein, and Mrs. Ella r,
Frank. who are given the income Ola
property worth about $625,000 by the
will of their mother, with George P
Miller, guardian ad Item for John
Erik Heyl, son of Jacob Heyl AND
Louise Schandein his first wife, and
with Albert w. Hard, guardian ad
Item for the children of DR.. and Mrs,
Frank.
Admit Negotiations.
The attorneys were extremely retI-
cent when questioned concerning the
progress that had been made. It was
admitted, however, that through mu-
! tual friends, a proposition had been
made to the contestants and that it
had not been accepted.
! Mr. and Mrs. Heyl are not desirous
of having the affairs of Mrs. Schan-
dein dragged through the courts any
more than necessary. They feel that
, the memory of Mrs. Schandein has:
been cleared by the decision of Judge
Carpenter in the county court and
that they can gain but little more in
that respect if the case is carried
through to the supreme court. But,
it is understood, they have made no.
effort to push settlement of the
case out of court and are inclined to
let matters take their course. The
initiative is said ito have come from
friends of the contestants of the will
Hitch on Brewery Stocks.
From the fact that Colonel Gustav
G.. Pabst, Fred Pabst and Oliver c.
ulIGf, president OF Cn6 Wisconsin,
Trust company, have taken an active
part in the negotiations, it is be
/ lieved that there has been some sort.
of hitch connected with the dispo
sition or the apportionment of the
large block of Pabst Brewing com
pany stock held by Mrs Schandein
at the time of her death. Title to
portion of the brewery stock is at is
sue in the suit brought in TIE circuit
court by the Milwaukee Trust com
pany as administrator of the Schan-
dein estate against Mr.. Heyl to re-
cover stock transferred to him By
Mrs. Schandein in her lifetime
First formal announcement of the
possible settlement may be made in
the opening of court today. If the
contest is settled or there is a posi-
bility of settlement, Judge Halsey
probably will be asked to continue
the case. In the event that the
case is settled the details of the ser
Element will be made public, it is un-
derstood.
