f1icting interpretations were placed to-
day on the fact that Mrs. Robert II.

of Wallace Mclean Probasco. who
was seriously wounded in her Park
Avenue apartment on December 10,
when she supposedly committed sui

Frederic c.. Leubuscher, attorney
for Robert II. Ingersoll. retired Watcf

dictate she cared nothing for Probasco
and ii there had been any affair be-
tween the two he had been the ag-
gresSor.
Il still maintain-and I have plenty
of proof-that she did mot care for
him." said Mr.. Leubuscher.
The legal finding of suicide was
based on the theory that Mrs. Inger-
soil was unwilling to break her rela-
tons with Mr.. Probasco and was made
desperate by his expressing an inten-
ton to quit her and return to his wife.
Jonah Goldstein, attorney for Pro
basco, however, declared omission of
his clients name from the will car
ried no significance.
