WEIGHTMAN CASE NOT ENDED.
Famous VIII Contest May BE Re
opened I'm the Fall.

Philadelphia. June 3g-That the con
test over the will of the late William
Weightman, millionaire chemist, will be
resumed in September has now become
virtually certain. Unless Mrs. Jones-Wis-
ter, who originally started the contest,
persists in the battle. it is probable that
outside parties will take up the relns.
Two lawyers for the past two weeks
have been investigating the life Of
Welghtman and the circumstances under
which he made his viii. They represent
persons living in Ohio. who believe that
they have a legitimate claim 10 a portion
Of the estate. II is now certain that Mrs.
Jones' Wister has decided to brave the
mysterious yellow document that was
sprung upon her just as the contest then
being heard in the Orphans Court, was
reaching its most interesting point.
Alexander Simpson, jr., shortly before
sailing for Europe for the summer, de-
clared TO persons interested in the con-
test that the proceedings had not been
dropped.
Hampton L. Carson, who represents the
Weightman estate. says that his client.
Mrs Anna NJ. Weightman-Walker. will
be prepared 10 meet the contest whenever
it is resumed 1t was learned to-day that
although half year has passed since
the contest came 10 an abrupt ending in
the Orphans Court, it has never been
marked as withdrawn.

be increased over what the combined
capital Of the old ones amounts to- The

The home Of the new bank undoubtedly

unusual experience Of John Weichers, OF
Grundy County. At times for the past
eight or ten years Weichers. who is
eighteen years of age has had excruciat-
