Sage‘s nephews and nieces are people of modest financial standing, and the prospect of a $25,000 bird in the hand is much more enticing than the vis ion of a bird of bigger builion value in the bush. Consequently, attorneys who, when appealed to, have advised a. conâ€" test and expressed a willingness to proâ€" mote the litigation upon a contingency :‘e.l- basis feeling that no contests will reâ€" sult. The attorneys feel confident that a contest will result successfully and that any heir who has the courage to oppose probate of the will will be richly â€"reâ€" warded for his temerity. Mrs. Sage, the lawyers feel sure, would dislike exâ€" ceedingly to have her control of the millions left by her husband delayed by eontest and would agree to a comâ€" promise rather than have her plans for The idea of a syndicate to subscrIDNC® funds to break the will originated with «a number of attorneys who hoped that the collateral heirs would start a con: test.

The next week he spent a lot of time in the directors‘ room and in his own private office, lockâ€" ing the door so that he could not be inâ€" terrupted. He worked not only during the day time. but late at night. He evidently was casting up the amount he had stolen and prenaring the document which was found in hisesafety deposit box last Sunday. In the letter which his son received, and which brought on the crash, he stated that in the memorandum in the box would be found a record of his indebtedâ€" ness to the bank, footing up $500.000 and also a statement by Cashier Hering of a further indebtedness of $530,000, which, to quote the letter, "Hering says I owe the bank." Mr. Hering admitted last evening that he had made out this statement. and that it was the one submitted by him to his chief five weeks ago, when he made a demand on Stensland to fix matters up.
