Mrs. Kittson further said that she had had a call about two weeks ago from a Mr. Watts, the attorney for the sister, who had interrogated her closely about Mr. Ranger's competency and as to whether there was possibly a later Will. Mrs. Kittson said that she expressed herself very definitely to Mr. Watts on the subject of Mr. Ranger's capacity, and told the lawyer that he would have a very difficult undertaking, as Mr. Ranger was judged by his friends and associates as a man of exceptionally clear mind and judgement.
