Attorneys Clash In Contest Over Mackenzie Will Lawyer for Estate Exam-ineg Widow's Counsel Hearing Goes on Today At last on the eve of its long-awaited trial, the seemingly endless battle tot the Augustus Mackenzie millions has today evolved into a hotbed of torrid skirmishes between attorneys. Practically all day yesterday Surrogate Oeorge A.

Wlngate's court was the scene of lively wrangling between opposing counsel, both among themselves and before the Surrogate. The debating was principally over moves by William F. Purdy, attorney for the estate, to retaliate for a recent move of Mrs. Mackenzie by examining her attorney, Daniel O. Connolly.

Augustus Mackenzie, who died a year ago, left the bulk of his fortune to two sons of a first marriage, cutting off his wife, Ethel, 79 Halsey and leaving relatively small bequests to her children, Dorothy and Donald. Claim Sobtequent Will Mrs. Mackenzie, who is seeking to break the will, last Monday made a motion to examine Mrs. Jennie Rose, a friend of Mr. Mackenzie, who was left $20,000 in the will, on the grounds that Mrs.

Rose had knowledge of another will drawn up sub- interrupted by trips to the Surrogate when Connolly refused to answer questions. Letter and Affidavit In the end it developed that Connolly had a letter from Frank Robins, private Investigator of Pasadena, which said that Mackenzie's chauffeur, Thiboreau, had reported that Mackenzie and Mrs. Rose had drawn wills in 1932. The will now offered is dated Dec. 11, 1929.

He also had an affidavit by some one, whose name was not made public, who claimed to have h-ard the wealthy shipping man remark that he had created a trust fund for his daughter, Dorothy, and that she would be very wealthy upon his death. Purdy made much of the fact that there was only one letter and one affidavit and also declared that he couldn't see where either of the sequent to the document now being offered for probate. Connolly submitted an affidavit saying that he had "letters and affladlvs which state" that there was a subsequent will "to which Mrs. Rose had access." Purdy yesterday told the Surrogate that he consented to an examination of Mrs. Rose, but that he first Insisted on examining Connolly on the sources on which his belief was based.

Connolly vigorously objected, contending that Purdy had no authority to examine an attorney or his confidential communications with clients. The Surrogate pointed out that he himself had a right to know if a later will existed and gave permission for the examination.
