hearing sfby the firm Of Ryder and
Simpson
Late Wednesday afternoon, and
early Thursday morning, Mrs.
Smiths attorneys sprang big sur
prise-a sort Of legal coupe. They
summoned as their own witnesses a
number Of those who benefited by
the will, including Mr.. Adams him
self.
In the list are Frank Leonard,
steward of Mr.. Blake's yacht, The
Aria; Mrs. Annabel Nelson, his
housekeeper; Mrs. Grace Leavitt,
proprietor Of Grace hospital on
Montgomery street, Bangor. where
Miss Ethel Bishop, one of the nurses
there.
Indications are that the hearing
will continue through Thursday and
possibly we'll into Friday-fer the
contestants attorney, it is UNDER
stood, want a thorough airing of the
case.
Although Mr.. Blake's fortune was
supposed to be very large, some es-
Inmates placing it as high as six or
seven millions, it is understood that
the final inventory will show a much
smaller amount-possibly greatly in
excess of two millions. He left
100000 to Bowdoin college; $4,000
to the Home for Aged Men, the Home
for Aged Women and the Children's
Home, Bangor: a number Of much
smaller requests to relatives, friends
and servants-aH of the remainder
going to Mr.. Adams, who was named
as executor, without bond.
On Wednesday afternoon, a petition
asking that Judge Blanchard be ap-
pointed special administrator was
>filed by Mrs. Smiths attorneys with
Probate Judge Warren. This phase
e the case, also. will be considered
at the preliminary hearing today.

Spring Surprise
in Blake Will
Contest at Bangor

Bangor, Sept 22.-The preliminary
step in an effort to break the will
of Hon. Edward H. Blake of Bangor
attorney, banker, sportsman and
multi millionaire, was taken on
observation-disclosures for Mrs. Louise
Curtis Smith of New York, Mr.
Blakes first cousin and nearest heir
at-law, appearing before Judge VIII
liam Warren of the PenobScot county
probate court in an effort to prevent
the will being admitted to probate.
Whatever Judge Warren decision.
an appeal will be entered. This will
mean, first, a jury trial in the SUI
preme court; secondly. a review of
the evidence by the law court
which is Names court of appeals
for final decision. The procedure
will of necessity be spread over sew
eral months.
But, although preliminary. this in
itial hearing before Judge Warren
possesses all the interest-even all
the excitement-of a jury trial. The
beautiful and spacious probate court
room is crowded with a notable
gathering, for the contest-affecting,
as it does, a vast fortune and to
greater or less extent the welfare of
various public institutions-is one of
the most important ever held in
Maine.
AS has been said, Mrs. Smith. who
is the only contestant, is Mr.. Blake's
cousin. Specifically, she is a daugh-
ter of half brother of Mr.. Blake's
mother. She is the wife of A. r.
Smith, proprietor of the Touraine
Hotel, Oil East Thirtieth street,
New York city-a widely known hotel
man who long was associated with
the st. Regis. Both are repute to
be wealthy, or at least of comfort
