WOODBURY., N. J., June 25.-The
will Of the late Aaron Knisell, of
Sewell, was offered for probate in
the Surrogates office. This instru-
ment has raised a contention among
the heirs. The will left the entire
estate to Mrs. Knisell, who died two
weeks before her husband, and it is
, claimed that its provisions lapsed
with her death.
The property was left to Mrs. Kni-
sell land her heirs" Had it read or

go to her heirs; but, as it says and
heirs, Knisells brothers claim the es-

EXPRESS THEFT
ARREST DUE by
NIGHTFALL
Detectives Work on Theory That
Guilty Man Will Squander
$4,000 Booty.

Detective Harry Scott, Atlanta
agent Of the Pinkertons, said Mon
day that the hunt for the daring
robber who looted the Southern or the
Adams Express Company OF s72, 900
in transit from New York TO Savan-
nah and South Georgia banks had
narrowed down TO two or three ex
press employees, who were being kept
under special surveillance. He an
ticipated an arrest during the day.
The centering of suspicion on par
ticular employees has not caused the
detectives to relax their vigilance.
On the contrary, the closest sort of
watch is being kept on every en-
ployee OF both companies who by the
most remote possibility might have
been connected with the bold theft.
The instant one of these men
energies into the white lights and
begins spending money freely he will
be arrested as the man who stole the
S72, 900, according to Special Agen.
Weaver, of the Southern Express,
who returned to Savannah Monday
from a trip to Florence.
I'VE expect to make an arrest any
time now" said Weaver. Every man
who could have possibly been con-
nected with the robbery is under sur
veillance. Every other man is elimi-
mated. II rests with two or three.
I'VE are just waiting for him TO
show up, and then we will get him.
He can't hold out much longer. There
is either a woman back of ii or the
lure of the white lights. It is always
that way He will remain under cover
for a little while. but he will soon
show his hand. 1t is human nature
for a man with that much money 10
put some of II into circulation, par
ticularly with the kind of man who
would come by it in that way"
At every point along the line to-day
special agents are either riding or
lounging around boarding houses and
little depot hotels where the messen-
gers hang out. Sleepy-ey agents as
they come In from their runs are
taken to the office Of General Man
ager Hockaday and closely interro-
gated. The search has not relin-
quished one bit, although the princi-
pal activity is at the New York end
of the line.
The remote possibility, as the off,
Gals term II, of any messenger having
secured the money, at first over
looked, is being thoroughly gone into.
Could anyone have duplicate seals 20
fasten the wire into the little lead pei
let's, the combination to the safe made
into the express car, a duplicate Of
the key kept by the agent at the des-
tination, and a duplicate OF the KEY
that unlocks the second lid to the
trunk, this key being kept under the
first lid in a sealed envelope, the rob-
berry might have been made in tran
sit. The officials regard this as high
ly improbable, but they are investi-
eating such a possibility fully.
