CONTESTING WILLS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When Mir. Wyrnan left his millions
to Princeton University we soon saw the
announcement that certain cousins would
contest the viii.
If q man is in sound mind when he
makes his bequests, what have cousins 10
do with his estate? Perhaps in life there
was no intercourse, no affection between
them and the testator. Many people would
not know some of their cousins If they
met them the street 1t makes ones
slood boil to see the frequent attempts
made by parties with the aid of hired at
torneys to get property to which they have
no right, or, at least, manCeuVTing so as to
be bought off for a goodly sum.
l am writing this general principles
and to touch real evil often recognized.
If the Wyman cousins have a just claim
they can present it, but do say, all honor
to Mrs. Mary Cutler, who withdraws from
a contest, as The Tribune states to-day on
the ground that she has no right to contest
Mr. Wyman's will.
1t should always bring social odIum upon
any one to strive to break a will with no
ground therefor but covetousness
