Both Sides of Family Contending
 For Custody of Marquam Wells,
 Orphaned by Mothers Suicide

, LOS ANGELES, R-Both sides of the family of little Marquam Wells, orphaned by suicide of his mother, Mrs. Diane Wells, after the staying of his wealthy father, contended Friday for the child's custody.
 On one side was the 312-year- old boys maternal grandmother, Mrs Yvonne Ward, San Francis co, who petitioned superior court for guardianship over his person and property.
 On the other was Marks pater- nal aunt, Mrs. Edna Westbrook, Fairbanks, who has asked only for custody of the boy. Superior Judge Roy N. Herndon has set a hearing for March 22. The boy is staying with MT. and Mrs. Allan Mans1 field, Los Angeles, friends of Mrs Wells.
 Mrs. Ward in her petition Fri day said that if Mrs. Westbrook were given custody the boy would be taken to Fairbanks, whereas Mrs. Ward feels he should remain in California.
 In one suicide note Mrs. Wells asked that Mrs. Clara Tarte, Seat tie, raise Mark as her own son. Mrs. Tarte is the wife of Reuben Tarte, trustee of the estate of the boys father, Cecil M. Wells, 51, automobile dealer and president of the All-Alaska Chamber of Commerce. The estate lawyer, Wallace Aiken, also came here from Seattle in the case.
 Wells was fatally shot in his home last Oct. IT.
 Mrs. Wells, 31, and Johnny War ren, 33, Negro jazz drummer, were charged with murdering Wells.
 Aiken issued statement to deny reports in California papers that there might be a fight be- tween the Tartes and Mrs. Vest brook over custody of the child. Aiken said:
 "The Tartes, Mrs. Westbrook and myself all want to make clear that we are in complete agree ment that the provisions of the wills be carried out. Mrs. Vest brook has filed a petition for appointment as guardian of Mark.
 In another development, Mrs. Wards attorney, Oscar z. Wise man, sought to file Friday for probate a will of Mrs. Wells, signed in Seattle Nov Is, 1851, but found he needed the original, which is believed to be in Mrs. Westbrook's possession.
 Wiseman said the copy showed provision for bequests of $2.500 each to Mrs. Wells daughters by a previous marriage, Sandra, 14, and Bonnie Walker, II, living in Ogden, Utah, with their father, and placed all the rest in trust for Marquam. He would get the principal when he is P.
 Private funeral services were conducted Friday for Mrs. Wells in a Los Angeles mortuary chapel, with Mrs. Ward and a few close friends present. %
