Sie es Mrs. Gaines’ Two Wills. ‘TESTIMONY IN THE NEW ORLEANS COURT YESTERDAY. The contest over the two wills alleged to have Deen left by the late Myra Clark Gaines, between Mrs. Marle FE. Evans, named as administratrix in the alleged olographic will, dated January 8, 1885, and Messrs Wilder and Christmas, named as ad- ministrators in the nuncupative wil, dated Janu- ary 5, 1885, has been going on since Wednesday be- fore Judgé Houston, in the district civil court, in New Orleans. ‘Two witnesses testified that the first-mentioned will was not in Mrs. Gaines’ hand- writing, and Dr. Holcomb testified that Mrs. Gaines was physically unable to write anything from the Sth to the 8th of January. Yesterday, letters alleged to have been written by Mrs. Gaines in the Yeas 1882, 1683, and 1884 were offered in evidence by counsel for Wilder and Christmas, showing that Mrs. Gaines atone time had great confidence in Mrs. Evans, but subsequently held her to be an un- principled woman, Wilder, who had been Mrs. Gaines? adviser and had received the above- mentioned letters, was put, on the stand to prove Mrs, Gaines’ signature to them. Counsel for Mrs. Evans asked Wilder if he had ever been convicted of forgery. Mr. Wilder said, “I will answer thus: If ever J wes convicted I have been pardoned by the President. ‘That happened many years ago; and let me say further, that I was unjustly con: vieted.” Several witnesses testified to their bellet that the alleged olograpiic will 13 in Mrs. Gaines? handwriting. hut others testify to the contrary. Deeds offered in evidence show that Mrs. Gaines, in 1881, disposed of property mentioned in this will.
