Both sines admitted that the man was dead and that his will said so and so about who was to get the dough. So they found out they could get up a fight pvor whether this Scotchman died suddenly or not. One side claimed that the poor fellow died right su iden, so that ho didn't have time to (HEX?; c-vV make a change in his will that he intended to make. They were trying to prove it. They put a fellow on the witness stand that had been the Scotchman's financial adviser. "You say he died sudden?" "Awful sudden." "What makes you think so?" "Well, I know it Nobody saw him die, and it was a week before the body was found, but there was evidence that Sandy went out mighty quick." "What evidence?" "Well, for one thing, there was a Utter he had got that day that he's supposed to have died, and the stamp on it happened to be uncancelled. The uncancelled stamp was still on the envelope,'on Sandy's desk. We all know that if Sandy had had even ten minutes of warning he would of wrote a letter to somebody to make use of that stamp."
