Wife No. 1 Contends That the Divorce Was Void.

Washington, July 2. -- The will of the late Nothaniel McKay, who died suddenly last summer at Atlantic City shortly after his marriage, and whose wealth is variously estimated at from $200,000 to several millions, Wednesday was admitted to probate. Various points of law were raised against probating the will, in addition to which a protest was made by Mrs. Jennie Pope McKay of Brooklyn, N. Y., who claims to be the widow of the decrased. 

Colonel McKay secured a divorce from her in Oklahoma, but Mrs. Jennie Pope McKay contends that the decree is void on the ground that Colonel McKay was not a legal resident of the territory when he instituted the proceedings. Under the provisions of the will, all the property is to go to the wife by the last marriage, except some minor bequests.
