CoNTESTING A WILL.
Two Weeks Before Death, Thomas
Cushing Signed the Document.

Burlington. Oct. 22.-The Gushing will
case occupied Chittenden county court
all yesterday and is likely TO take at
least another day. This ease grows out

weeks before his death, which occurred
in June, 1912. BY this will practically
the whole estate goes to the family
of Thomas Shea, with whom Thomas
Cushing lived during the last years of
his life.
The most startling testimony brought
out during the day was the statement
of DR.. F. W. Bayliss that Thomas Shea
asked him to suggest to Gushing that
he make his will, and the testimony
of Mrs. johanna c. Shea, mother of
Thomas Shea, that previous will had
existed in which the property was more
generally distributed.
