No Contest Expected
1t is not believed by Mr.. Unruh. who
is named in the will as executor and
who was appointed special administra-
tor by Judge Rives yesterday, that
there will be any contest. In fact Mr..
Baldwin took precautionary measures
to prevent such possibility by caus-
ing to be inserted a clause providing
that any person named in the will or
any person who may possibly benefit
by his death who shall begin a contest
over the estate shall be cut off entirely.
The will was drawn by Bradner w.
Lee, who for many years has acted as
Mr. Baldwin's attorney. His statutory
fees in the estate will be one-half of
/ per cent, or $125,000, and Mr.. Unruhs
fees as executor will be a like amount.
The petition appraisement of property
