LIVELY SQUABBLE
OVER WILL STARTS
Relatives Not Satisfied With
Their Share of Estate of
John Henry Laurie

In the opening session. Thursday
morning, or the night 70 break The
will OF the late John Henry Laurie,
Detroit contractor and builder. who
died In hospital In Ann Arbor, Dec.
4, 1912, IL transpired that the names
OF the witnesses of the testament
were subscribed TO a codicil, not u
the will proper. This fact was re
vealed by Attorney Harrison Geer
chief counsel for the contestants, Al
fred W. Laurie, OF Riverside, Mich.
and Miss Mary E. Laurie, OF Besse
mer. Mich, brother and sister, respec'
lively, OF the testator. Mr.. Geer re-
CARDS the revelation as serious de
feet In the legality of the instrument
and will use II in bis arguments fol-
the breaking OF the will, In addition
to representation that the testatoT
was not sound mentally at the time
he disposed o fhls property.
Mr.. Geer brought out the situation
In his cross-examination of John
Cook, attorney and grocer, No n
Montcalm-st. west, before Judge Dur
fee. Cook, friend OF the testator,
drew up the will He testified that
he suggested TO Mr. Laurie, last Au-
gust, that he make his will, and that
he afterwards drew up q rough draft,
which was later. Nov. 90, 1912, trans
cribed on a legal form. Cook said
that Mr.. Laurie directed that $4,000
was to 20 to his brother, Alfred w.
Laurie $4,000 to his sister, Mary r.
Laurier; $500 to a Mrs. Blocher
50. 900 70 Miss Edith Gunnell, OF Vas
sar, Mich, sweetheart, and the bal
ahce TO relatives named Dolph, OF
Blissfield, Mich. Cook ALSO said that
after disposins of the estate, Laurie
made bequest of $1,000 to him.
There wasn't room for Cook to In
corporate this provision in the Will, SO
he made a codicil TO care for II.
Laurie, Cock said, was of sound
mind when he signed the will, but ex-
planned that he was sick in bed and
had to be propped up with chair
and pillows TO write his signature.
In writing Mrs. Blocher's name In
the will. Cook said he called her
Mrs. William Blocher" He said he
understood that her husbands first
name was William, whereas IL Ia
Clarence. The latter Is also contest
ing the will, on the ground that the
beuuest for Mrs. Mrs. William Bloch
err was meant for his wife.
The estate OF Laurie was 'inven
torfed at sbS,00Q He was u resident
OF Detroit for 45 years. One OF the
clubs he belonged to was the "Thir
teen" an organization which threw
superstition to the winds.
Attorneys McHugh. Gallagher &
McGann are representing the propo
nents OF the VIII.
