Got 100000.

Mr.. Hopes thereupon said:
"Well. il | am compelled TO answer,
received from Mrs. Walker 100000
This answer caused sensation. and
much loud conversation ensued. After
quiet had been restored the witness
said he received the 100000 about De
cember 81, 1904.
Having established the fact that he
had received gifts from Mrs. Walker,
the lawyers examined the witness re-
garding the circumstances Of the sign
ing of the last will of Mr.. Weightman
on Aug. 1, 1895. He had witnessed the
signing Of two other papers prior to the
signing Of the last will. These he be-
lieyed were a will and a codicil, but he
was not sure.
Mrs. Walker took the stand, and after
she had answered a few unimportant
questions q recess was taken.
When court recoDvened the case, on
motion of attorneys for Mrs. Wister,
was postponed. This action caused
surprise, and there was a rumor that
there had been a compromise. At
torney General Carson for Mrs. Walker
denied this emphatlcally.

Weightman was sole member. At first
