The Baley Strahan will contest case was adjourned Thursday morning after the contestant Cora Baley, suing her brother John Strahan, filed a third issue. More than 40 witnesses testified as the defense sought more time to consider the new matter concerning the will of Peter Strahan. The 80 acre La Prairie estate was left largely to John, who stayed to help on the farm. Mrs Baley, who married young, claimed she was not in possession of the premises when the will was made. The case raised questions of validity and entitlements in a lengthy legal battle.
