Now They Have Begun a Contest and Give Hints that a Medium Aided in the Preparation of the Will Favoring Mahan. A contest of the will of Mrs. Adaline Darrow Townsend, widow of Henry P. Townsend, was begun to-day before Sur- Togate Thomas. By this will she be- queathed the greater part of her estate of about $500,000 to Joseph H.- Mahan, her husband's protege, who became his law partner. ‘The contestants are Rufus Darrow, John C. Sharp, Hartman P. Sharp, Oriza A. Sharp, Mrs. Jane A. Allen and Mrs. Mania Sharp, cousins and second cous:ns of Mrs. Townsend, who was elghty-aix years old when she died last February. They make sensational charges throigh their attorney, Louis F. Dodds, a beard- less young lawyer. There are hints of spirits, spiritism, the Intervention of mediums and the help of invisible spirits in drawing the will. In antletpation of sensational develop- ments, Surrogate Thomas's court-room was filled with curious spectators when the contest began. Jacob H. Shaffer, the lawyer who drew the will which is chaslenged, and who was one of the three subscribing witnesses, was called to the stand by WAG HOTEL Mrs. Claudia Guesnsey Was Registered at Navarre as the Wife of John B.

Mr. Shaffer produced three wills, but when the young lawyer essayed a cross-examination of the older lawyer about them, and why they were superceded by the will offered for ‘probate, Surrogate Thomas stopped him, declaring that it was of no im- portance as those wills were not of- fered for probate. “But, we propose to show that these various wills were drawn by three people, but that they didn’t quite sult, | and that this last will was the final result of the operations of persons who were in absolute control of this ‘weak ‘old woman,’ said Mr. Dodd. ‘He said some signatures in one of the wills were in different ink to'the rest of erga. - . & "There were two or three pens there,”” said Lawyer Shifter. “I had a foun- tain pen, and I think Dr, Dominick Graeven bea a fountain pen, and alt may have been used,” Called Stome Ridiculous. that a week ago she met her husband and Mrs. Guernsey on the street and horsewhipped the woman, whom shi accused of having such an Influence on Walker, that he could not free himsel from her. “My husband called here on me last | night,’ said Mrs. Walker, “and we ar- | ranged it that he was to leave |this woman and return to me.

Brewer Emi! Schaeffer's fight for the porsession of his two children, who [his wife, from whom he ts separated, has been dragging around the country with her, was transferred to the Court of Chancery, in Jersey City, to-day. Detectives found Mrs, Schaeffer and the children at Morristown three weeks ago. She was arrested, but released when bonds were given for the pro- duction of the children. Schaeffer sought possession of his off- spring by habeas corpus and Vice- hancellor Pitney listened to testimony to-day, produced to show that the! woman was not @ proper guardian for the little ones. Mrs, Aurella E. Schaeffer was in the court-room and so were many friends of the family, among the rest G. A. Worth, the Wall street broker, who may be sald to be the co-respondent. Mary Peel, who keeps a hotel in Tar- rytown, testified that Mr, Worth and Mrs. Schaeffer registered at the hotel as Me. and Mrs, Worth on March 24, 1902, They lived there some time, oc- cupying one room. Aza Campbell, por- ter at the hotel, corroborated this tes- umony. A. Willis, a Pullman conductor on the Lackawanna Rallroad, swore that Mrs, Schaeffer and Worth went from Dover, N. J.. to Buffalo in March, 1902. ‘They occupied the drawing room to- gether, and Mrs, Schaeffer had the two children, one aged seven and the other nine, with her. A, G.

Mrs. Schaeffer's lawyers tried to pro- duce evidence to show that Mr. Schaef- fer was unwell, but most of it was excluded by the Vice-Chancellor, When Mr. Schaeffer was put upon the stand he admitted that he had no property and no connection now with the Schaef- fer brewery. He had no personal prop- erty elther, he said, with the exception of some odds and ‘ends Asked how he would support the children if they were given to him, he answered that his father and brother had verbally promised to supply the necessary money.
