Describing himself as a friend and orchard adviser to Holmes since the colonel came to Rappahannock 25 to 30 years ago, Lee said that Col. Holmes had told him in conversations of March and September, 1979, that he didn’t plan on leaving any part of his estate to his sister, in fact, said Lee, Holmes said he didn't want to leave “anything to anybody around here.” In addition, he testified, the colonel was “always bragging on his doctor he had at the navy hospital...He said he wouldn't fool with no doctors around here...He talked about his (navy) doctor evervtime 1 went there (to the farm in 1979) but he never did call his name. He said he was a good medical doctor and that he took good care of him.”
Edward Shokes, for years an orchard spray salesman to farmers in Rappahannock and throughout the area, told the court that the day he met Ruth Holmes and Betty Paleologos at the colonel’s farm. Holmes mused aloud after the pair had left, “1 wonder why Betty’s so nice to Ruth?" According to Shokes. Holmes noted on other occasions that his sister “had plenty” and would never want for anything.
