daughter and by the second wife six children,
all boys. After the second marriage the daugh-
ter complaining OF unknd treatment, left the
house and earned her own living. Finally she
married. and never again visited her fathers
house. Abbot disagreed with his second wife,
resulting in an open quarrel and suit for divorce
on her part, which was abandoned during his
sickness. and she took care of him until his
death. In his last sickness he made Il will, in
which he bequeaths about the entire bulk of his
property, valued at 100000, to his discarded
daughter, stating that it was to repair his neg
lect. 1t was sought by the suit to break the
will, alleging that Abbot was not. at the time
