Gently dled, quick
ly wrote his will on the letterhead of
the Millersburg Grand Army post sta
tonery. Then he stuffed the briefly
written sheet in his pocket, grabbed
up his grip and hurried for his train
While waiting in Millersburg sta
tion 1t occurred to Mr.. Cordes that the
VIII wasn't really a legal instrument
because 1t hadn't been witnessed. In
the distance he heard the whistling of
the approaching train. William A.
Smith and William I. Hahn, two sta
ton attaches and old friends of Mr..
Cordes, were standing nearby. MIR.
Cordes decided that they would serve
admirably as witnesses If they would.
The train was putting into the sta
ton as one of the prospective wit
nesses shook his fountain pen free and
signed his name. And the long line
or cars was slowly getting under way
again when the last witness signed.
The Will was probated yesterday
