When the original and apparently

filed objections. She received only it
nominal sum in the. will. Subsequent-
ly her contest was defaulted. and sev-
eral wreka ago she appeared before
Suirogate Fowler with counsel, exhib-
iting what purported to be a later
will than «the one probated. This pro-
vided that she receive a life income,
from the estate. which would then re-
vert to the academy. No e1ort was
made.’ however. to alter the will for
probate.

In his affidavit Mr. Wesler relates,
how the fraudulent will was drawn in:
his onlce at night and states that a
picture of the artist was exhibited to
him. so he could be in a position to!
describe the testator it called upon,
to do so. His witneasoa‘were a one.|
time slenographer and once associate.|
although at that time they were far'
distant from the omce. Their namea‘
were written In the Instrument by llr.‘
Wesler. he admits.

clean breast and says he, was persuad-
ed to pursue his course because of an‘
obligation he was under to It. H. i‘..

through college. I ;
At, Cunningham's behest. the in or
sava. be agreed to meet is Charles W.

attorney. and that this meeting took
place on January 13. 1913. In the Dev-
onport Hotel. There he receivod 160
pages of testimony by witnesses.

of the artist and other relatives. lie

Mr. Cunningham said he wanted me
to make an silidavli stating I had at-
tested the execution of s will brougbtl
to in? by Ranger," declared Wuhan]
“but. pl refused' the proposition; He
told me that while it was technicallv
wrong it was morally right. as Mr.
Phelps was trying to defeat Edith}
Ranger from getting her ilghtful prop-t
erty. She was a patient of Mr. Cun-‘
ningham's brother. who is a dentist
in New York.”
Later that evening. Wesler says. he
dinrd with Cunningham and Meyer in
the hotel and .was introduced to Miss
Ranger. who said she was destitute
and that Mr. Phelps bad destroys-i
n'will which would giro her control
of the estate. In the tap room Wex-
Ier save he was asked by tho men to
also the affidavit and this time assent-
ed. Meyer then suggested. he asserts.
that additional weight would be lent
if a copy of Ranger's will were annex‘
ed to the affidavit. but the lawyerde-
murred against taking thls step,
"He told me." Wexlcr add; ”that
the allldavlt and copy Would always
remain in his custody and that the
litigation had reached such a point
where the other side would throw up
their hands and plead for mercy if
they knew of the existence of such
documents.
"I then sald:-—'Where in li———— do
you think i am going to get such a
will? and he said that‘could be fixed
all right and that “i would be hand
somely rewarded. Mr. Cunningham
said I would be righting a great
wrong. _
"The foiir of us then went to my
office. in the Stamford National Bank
Building, at half-past sight o'clock at
night. and i typed a draft of the will
Errors caused me ’to' ask Mayor for
assistance and be dictated the con-
tents."
Then it was suggested that the or
iglnal of the fraud be destroyed. as
this would support their contention
that Ir. Phelps had done‘ away with
touch a will. Later the names of the
witnesses were added» '
