Relatives of Agnes Wahl Nieman, widow of the founder of the Milwaukee Journal and recent donor of three to five-million dollars to promote journalism here, yesterday contested the will of Mrs. Nieman in Milwaukee.
Dispatches from the West, claim that two uncles and an aunt have filed objections charging that Mrs. Nieman was subject to undue influence and was of unsound mind when she willed the bulk of her $8,000,000 estate to Harvard.
The contestants are Fred Wahl of Washington, D. C.; Robert Wahl of Chicago; and Paula Wahl Pierce of Chicago. Mrs. Pierce received a bequest of $5,000 under terms of the will, which was filed five days before Mrs. Nieman died, on February 5.
