ELMERS OFF ON
VISIT, SAYS ATTORNEY.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. O.
Mrs. F. Eugene Elmer of Jackson
vile widow of Fred d. Shepard,
wealthy Georgia peach grower, whose
body was exhumed at Fort Valley,
Saturday, November 6, to determine
the cause of his death, said to have
occurred on June 2, 1920, has al
ready taken steps to contest an anon
ymous will purported to have been
made by the deceased, making his
sister, Mrs. George N. Crandall, her
children and Mrs. Elmer's stepson
the principal benefciaries, and leav-
ing Mrs. Elmer a bequest of $4,000
in cash and an annuity of $100 per
month for life. This statement was
made here Monday by Charles M.
Durrance, attorney for Mrs. Elmer,
in the absence of Mrs. Elmer, who,
with her husband, he said, is visiting
her brother down the Florida East
coast.
Steps to contest the will, Attorney
Durrance said, were taken before
Mrs. Crandall decided to have Mr..
Shepard's body exhumed. Under an
armed guard the body was exhumed
Saturday and reburied after the vital
organs had been removed. The order
for the bodv's removal was signed by
Judge Matthews, of the Superior

stated. but attended the mother of
Mrs. Elmer for time before her
death.
"The will in question practically
cuts Mrs. Elmer off and makes her
husbands sister, Mrs. Crandall, and
her children and Mrs. Elmer's son,
who was the stepson of Frederick D.
Shepard the principal benefciaries
under the will.
Mrs. Elmer is thoroughly convinced
that the will is a forgery and has al

Mr.. Shepard for further examina-

Shepard had been away from his
wife for several davs before he was
