ECKERT'S WIDOW"
IN WILL CONTEST
Says She Can Prove Marriage
to Telegraph Magnate.

New York, April a-A short, portly
woman. wearing a black fur coat and
black cloth dress, came into Surrogate
Cohalan's Office to-day and announced
that she was Mrs. Z. l. Davies. the
widow of Gen. Thomas T. Eckert, former
head of the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
Gen Eckert died last October. leaving
the bulk of his se,OOO. 900 estate to Thomas
T. Eckert. his younger SON. The elder
son. James Clendennin Eckert, started a
contest to break the will. claiming that
Thomas and the generals former private
secretary influenced the aged millionaire
to make his will in favor Of the younger
son. The suit has been tried before Sur
rogate Cohalan, but he has not yet an
nounced his decision.
The appearance of the Mrs. Davies, :"
who proclaimed herself entitled to at
least one-third of the real estate of
Gen. Eckert, as his widow, caused the
surrogate to summon all the lawyers
who are interested in the Eckert will
fight, and to have them present while
he examined Mrs. Davies. She was
questioned in private, but after the
examination her story of her alleged
WIFI bckert was mace
public. The woman said she was
sixty-eight years old and lived at AL
East 1SSth street. She declared Gen Eek
ert had given her a deed to his 1S6th
street house.
Under questioning the woman said
that her permanent home is in Massa-
chusetts avenue. Washington, D. C. and
she declared she had both the mar
rage certificate and the deed "in a safe
-lo IL
When she left the building she said
she would be on hand Thursday morn
ing with her marriage certificate and
deed.
Cen Eckert was ninety-two years OF
age when he died last October He was
almost ninety years old and in feeble
health in 1905 when Mrs. Davies claims
to have married him. He was married
twice prior to the time of the alleged
third marriage.
Mrs. Davies claims will hold up the
decision in the Eckert will case temper
arily. The surrogate must dispose of
her allegations before passing on the
validity of the will.
When the lawyers, who represent Eek
ert heirs. were asked their opinion of
Mrs. pavies's claim. they said: We'll, we
don't take il very seriously"
