 It is now believed by interested parties in Westerly that the late Mary U. Crandall, by mistake, destroyed her second will, the one drawn by Eugene
 B. Pendleton believing it to be her first will. There is the belief. that Mrs. Crandall never saw the alleged last will sent to the probate court by Ia New Jersey woman. This is the wii that Attorney Davis declared to
 be forgery. Ire first will ard the New Jersey will are now in the pos = session of the court, and action has
 been deferred until the first court ses-
 sion in May.
