Mrs, Johnstone has been frank in her statements of the be- lief that the wealthy Mrs, Webh was polsoned, A move was started among forper friends of Mrs, Webb last night to take the case to Governor Smith and ask him to designate the attorney general to contipue the investigation, This move was taken soon after Coroner Fitzgerald and Dist, Attorney Rowland had made statements that if 8.

The chemical ' analysis of Mrs. Webb's kidneys, has not yet been reported officially to the county authorities. Father Protests The fight over Mrs. Webb's will or wills which were sald to dispose of an estate of between $2,000,000 and §3,000,000 was expected to take more definite form today. Late yesterday 8, Jennings Gorman, the dead wom- an’s father, entered a protest to the filing of the ten line will which was submitted by attorneys for the hus- band. Other relatives will attempt to show a second document which Mrs. ‘Webb left unsigned because of her illness, in reality expressed her wishes, Mrs. Webb issued a statement that although the ten line will left all his wife's property to him he would carry out the bequests mentioned in the unsigned one despite its invalidity be- cause he believed it cxpressed her wishes at the time of her death. Lawyer 1s Retained Former Surrogate Cohalan has been retained by relatives to contest the short will which was filed for probate.” The clerk in 'the surro- gate’'s office had refused to accept the unsigned will even as a memoran- dum, A controversy was started between Pr. Meyer and Mr. Webb when the latter charged the doctor = with ex- cluding him from his wife's sickroom. The doctor admitted the charge frankly. He said Mr. Webb had con- tinued to transact business with his wife during her critical illness but added that this was not the reason for excluding him. "It was for a very different reason which I shall not reveal now, he said, but which the authorities may have if they desire it.” GLORIA'S FATHER DIES S8an Pedro, Oct. 3. — Joseph T, Swanson, 52, father of Gloria Swan- son, movie actress dled here yester- day from acute hcart troubie.
