NO CHANCE FOR LAWYERS Expected Legacy -of $500,000 Had Shrunk to $50,000, "but Threat of Contest Expands It Other Daughters Still Rich. SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-(Special.)- Lucky" Baldwin's spirit may now rest in peace, so far as tne likelihood of a contest of his cherished will is con cerned, for it was announced today that the claim of Mrs. Roselia Selby. wife of D.
