sion In the Hughes Wachter suit in

resented by the widow as executrix.

clusion that the evidence did not

POST WILL CONTEST
DENIED BY LAWYER
Counsel for Mother of Late Actress
Says Mistake Caused
Protest.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10.-There will
be no contest over the estate of Mrs.
Guy Bates Post, the former Adele
Richie, noted actress, according to H,
S. j. Sickel, Philadelphia attorney, who
is counsel for Mrs. Posts mother, Mrs.
E. N. Pultz. The estate is appraised at
$4,000.
Mrs. Post was found shot to death
with her friend, Mrs. Doris Murray
Palmer, at Laguna Beach, Calf, April
"a In the home of Mrs. Palmer. It was
reported that both women had made
wills the day before in which they de-
vised their estates to each other. Sickel
said that it was this will which he had
protested in a telegram to j. M. Backs,
county clerk of Santa Ana, Calf.
my protest was against the will re-
ported made on April 3d." Mr.. Sickel
said. Later I learned that Mrs. Posts
will in possession Of Moresby White,
her California attorney, was executed
March II, this year.
This will appoints Mr.. White ex-
ecutor and its terms are satisfactory to
me as attorney for Mrs. Pultz. The
document gives almost everything to
Mrs. PultZ."
