Loves sweet dream was sorely
shattered and the pieces flew every

Confidential Secretary Refuses to
Violate Confidence by Reveal
ing Nature Of Document,

Philadelphia, Oct. l6.-Much in
terest has been aroused as to the ma
ture of the mysterious paper which
halted the Weightman $6O,OOO,OOO
will contest in the Orphans court
yesterday. Edwin T. Davis, conhden-
tial secretary to the late William
Weightman, said today:
Before going into court yester-
day, remarked to my wife that the
will contest will not last as long as
some people think; in fact it will end
with my own testimony, if a certain
paper written by Mr.. Weightman, to
which | was the only witness, is still
in existence and in possession of Mrs.
Walker This paper, if called for
and produced, will explain why Mr..
Weightman made his daughter, Mrs.
Walker, his sole legatee in his will
of 1895, and so conclusively satisfy
the attorneys of Mrs. Wister that no
codicil exists that they would most
likely abandon the ease. This proves
to be the result"
When asked what was written on
the paper, Mr.. Davis said;
"Having served Mr.. Weightman
for more than twenty-five years,
see no reason why | should violate
his confidence now that he is dead. y
The attorneys in the case wouldn't
discuss the paper today.

This statement by the district at
torney was made in the course of an
argument before Recorder Golf
against a writ Of prohibition restrain
ing the district attorneys Office from
further preliminary action in grand
jury proceedings in the murder case.
Following the hearing, Clifford w.
Hartridge, Thaw's counsel, called on
the prisoner at the Tombs. After
his visit the lawyer explained that
Thaw had read the evening papers
and feared from what he read of
the proceedings before Recorder Goff
that an attempt might be made to
indict his wife or other members of
the family.
Hartridge said that he had merely
called to set Thaw's mind at ease,
as there was no danger that other
members of his family or any one
else connected with the family would
be indicted.
The recorder, at the request of
Jerome, adjourned the proceedings,
that the district attorney might OBJ
taoin formal order having the ar
gument transferred to Justice Me-
Leans court, where it was first
heard.
