HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WILL FOUND IN DRESS' I HEM IS CONTESTED Relatives Who Were Left Out Don't Believe Mrs. Durkees Pot It There The question of whether or not Mar garet J. Durkeea really wrote the will and codicil found In the hem of her black Bilk dress and behind the final photograph in the family album, was put up to President Judge Kunkel and a Dauphin county Common Pleas Jur> to-day. This problem is the cause of the suit brought by Mtnnle S. Moore against Sarah Kirschner, Eliza Collief and Har riet Bigger Hamilton, relatives of Mrs. Durkees. who died a few years ago. Minnie ie named us the beneficiary of Mrs. Durkees' estate by the will and ; codioll and the defendants don't believe the dead woman wrote the so-called "wilts" at all. Incidentally they ob ject to the distribution of the estate in the plaintiff's favor. A real metropolitan touch was given to-day's hearing by the presence of Professor Carvallo, a New York hand writing expert. He has been subpenaed to compare the signature on the "will" and Mrs. Durkees' signature on other papers. After Mrs. Durkees' death a scrap of yellow paper signed by Mrs. Durkees was found in an old picture frame. In this she said she left her will in the hem of her black silk dress. Sure enough it was found tucked way back in the hem. And a little later, while looking through the album, Mrs. Moore found a scrap of paper under the last photograph in tho book. The old black silk dress, the will and codicil, and a couple of anonymous let ters. written by some one to the Dau phin County Register of Wills, figured in the trial to-day. The purpose of the letter is a mystery. In these missives the writer asked "how the #case was going." w While President Judge Kunkel con ducted the Durkees will case In No 1 room.
