Final answer:
The provided text excerpts do not contain information on Judge Ford's suspicions about Sam Westing's former wife. Accurate context involving these characters is required to provide a definitive answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The provided excerpts do not directly reference the heirs of Sam Westing or his former wife, thus making it challenging to ascertain Judge Ford's thoughts on Westing's former wife. Furthermore, the text snippets from what appear to be different literary sources do not contain any mention of Judge Ford. To accurately determine which of the heirs Judge Ford suspects may be Sam Westing's former wife, one would need to reference the specific text in which these characters are mentioned, likely a work of fiction where these characters represent significant roles in a storyline. As such, without access to the context where Judge Ford's considerations take place, an accurate answer cannot be provided. It remains important for the student seeking this information to refer to the literary source featuring the characters of Sam Westing and Judge Ford for the specific answer.
