Fellowship Minister
due 10 Resume Stand
Today in Will Fight

The Rev. Jack H. Buckner, Baptist
minister and teacher at the Hebrew
Christian Fellowship, was to con-
tinue testifying today in the District
Court hearing on contested will in
which a former follower named him
principal beneficiary.
The will is that of Miss Anna S.
Walton, 10, retired Government
worker, who lived at 1415 Chaplin
street NV. She died in August,
1916, leaving some 400 acres of land
near New Mortonsville, w. Va, con-
sidered potential source of oil and
about $1,000 worth of personal prop
erty.
Contesting the will are two cousins
Of Miss Walton, Edward Pollock Of
Philadelphia, and James l.. Pollock,
Oakland, Md. Through their attor-
neys, Robert Conroy and Byron S.
HUE, jr., they are questioning
whether Miss Walton was of sound
mind and whether undue influence
was used on her by Mr.. Buckner.
N4Ct 4A V0Su
Miss Walton met Mr.. Buckner, 1t
was said, through the Hebrew
Christian Fellowship, which meets
Friday nights at the italian Baptist
Church, 1900 Kirby street NV. Her
will named him executor of her es-
tate and residuary legatee and made
number of small bequests.
A previous will repeatedly left her
property to relatives, including the
contestants. The West Virginia
land is said to include an inactive
well now being leased at $500 a year
by an oil firm.
Mrs. Evelyn B. Paxton, 5357 Broad
Branch road NV, who was friend
of Miss Walton, testifying for the
plaintiffs yesterday, said Miss Wal
ton had been a believer in re-
incarnation.
Miss Walton believed that in pre-
yious lives she had been an Egyptian
princess, teacher in Rome; Jap
anese maiden who committed sui
eide rather than face an unwanted
marital match, and also st. John the
Divine, Mrs. Paxton related.
Had Told of Messages"
Mrs. Paxton. said Miss Walton
had told of messages" she received
from her late mother and other de-
ceased relatives. In one of them,
according to the witness, Miss Wal
ton said her mother appeared to
her in dream and told her to leave
the Presbyterian faith and become
an Episcopalian. Miss Walton pro-
fessed to receive messages during
waking hours as well, Mrs. Paxton
said.
Defense witnesses presented yes
terday by Attorneys James r. Kirk
land and Thomas M. Raysor said
they had been in contact with Miss
Walton in her religious activities
and that she appeared mentally
competent.
