“No; I agree with you. Stephen Ray, was his estate disposed of according to his wishes?”
Mr. Ray started, and his face became flushed.
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“I mean that he bequeathed the estate to his son, and you took possession of it.”
Bolton spoke slowly, and eyed Stephen Ray keenly.
“Are you mad?” gasped Stephen. “How could I do that? His will, devising the estate to me, was duly probated, and I entered upon my inheritance by due process of law.”
“I know such a will was probated.”
“Then what have you to say?” demanded Stephen Ray defiantly. “Do you mean to deny that the will was genuine?”
“No.”
