Widow and, Attorney Make In
effectnal Search for Bank
er's Last Testament

OAKLAND, May 27.-No will of the
lAte William G. Palmanteer, fromer
president of the Central bank, has
come to light in spite of the fact that
it is reported in Oakland that the dead
banker spoke to friends about having
made will. Since this report was
spread the search for his will has
seen renewed. but without success
v neither or not Palmanteer made
viii is matter of doubt.
After Palmanteers death most of
his securities and private papers were
found in his safe deposit box in the
Central bank No will was there.
FitzgeraId/& Abbott. his attorneys. had
drawn no will for him, and his family
knew of no will
When an inventory of the estate was
being made Mrs. Palmanteer, the
widow, declared she felt certain that
all the assets had not been discovered.
She said she knew he had a block of
stock in the Central bank that was
missing and life insurance policy for
a considerable amount 1t was not
long, however. before these papers were
found or accounted for. The Central
bank stock was found in Palmanteers
desk The life Insurance policy, 1t was
learned. had been surrendered on ma
turity for cash payment by Palman-'
teer.
Robert NJ. Fitzgerald attorney for
the Central bank as well as for the
Palmanteer estate, said tonight that he
knew of no will
4 was Mr.. PaImanteer's attorney for
several years. he said. "and 1 think
I would have known if he had made a
will. As far as 1 know he did not do
so, though I understand that some one
has said that Palmanteer said he had
made a will"
Application was recently made in the
probate court for letters of admins
tration upon Palmanteer's estate, which
is estimated at s75O.OOO. Fitzgerald &
Abbott represent the widow. who was
granted letters. In the event no will
should come to light the estate will be
