NEW PHASE IN WILL CASE

With the introduction of more tes- timony by the contestants witnesses yesterday afternoon. the veLabie VIII friaI took on added interest. The tes- timony of a Pinkerton detective ana hand- writing expert, tended to prove the signature on the will forgery.
 The principal element in the eViaense .e tha contestants attorneys is the snna,ctine stories as to the time the will was signed.
 R e. Carter. of the Pinkerton's De- tective Agency, came to Montgomery hast sunday from New York to investi- cate tbe circumstances of the signing of inc will. He testified that J. 5. childs. whose name as an attestrhs

Childs and T. T Trentham. had gone to venable's store where the will was prepared and sign ed about midnight.
