With the assortion that the wife will have the same consideration for their' son as if the testator were allve. the wul of the late Thomas J. Walker, filed In probate court yesterday, leaves the entire estate to the widow. Mrs. Lucy E. Walker. The son is Edward E. Walker.
A provision In the will requeste the appointment of the widow as executrix. to serve without bond. and the appointment was made by John H. Falrmen. probate Judge.
FOLLOWING refusal of the pro- bate court to accept the teribs of the alleged lost will of the late John O. Quinn, Carthage million- atre, attorneys for Perry Riley and others who contend they were bene- ficiaries under the "lost" document carried their flight to circuit court.
The original probate court action, which alleged the son, Dr. C. B. Quinn of Carthage, was cut off in the "lost" will, was amended. set- ting forth that the son was left $56,000 in capital stock of the Guinn Investment company
Riley, who was J.No. Quinn's con- fidential secretary, charges he was bequeathed $50.000 and 50 shares of bank stock in the "lost" will. Nieces and nephews are the other plain- tffs In the action.
The estate, valued at approxi- mately 1% million dollars, went to the son. Dr. Quinn, and his sister. Mrs. Lottle Guinn Young of La Grange. Ga., when no will was found.
