What the piece of paper contains was not made public, and the less than dozen persons who have seen it have pledged themselves not to reveal its contents. The halt in the proceedings was made at the suggestion of counsel for Mrs. Jones Mister, who is acting as guardian for her daughter, Martha, the contestant, and the sudden turn in the case has made the beneficiaries of the will jubilant They freely predict that the case has been ended forever
 William Weightman in 1884 made a will leaving his vast estate equally be- tween Anne M. Weightman Walker, his daughter and two sons, William and John. Ten years later he made a new will leaving his entire estate to the daughter the two sons having died, leaving eight children. The widow of William Weightman the mother of five of the children. married Jones Mister, and when Mr. Weightman, her father in-law, died, she contested the will on behalf of her minor daughter, Martha, on the ground that he left codicil in which he provided for the grandchil- dren. The other seven grandchildren, who had reached their majority were satisfied with the sums the wealthy chemist had during his life left them in trust Mrs. Walker the sole heir to the fortune, denied that her father had made a codicil The contest was be- gun nearly two years ago, and was called to trial before Judge Ashman in the orphans court to-day with a great array of counsel on each side.
 The morning session was taken up with the examination of three witness es, one of whom was Mrs. Walker One of the other two witnesses was Edward T. Davis, for many years private sec retary to MT. Weightman, and who was a witness to the signing of the last will Counsel for Mrs. Wister asked him if the remembered MT.
