Several lawyers have already refused
to touch il on the ground that there is
no legal evidence by which they could
hope to break the will. Nlr. Ellis
alleges the promises made by Mr..
Samuel Dorsey before his death, that
an income should be provided for his
(Ellis) children, and the request he
made of his wife to take care ofthcm.
Another ground alleged is that there
is insanity in the family, and that Mr..
DorSCy'S mind was somewhat un.
steady. and when IL was subjected to
the strong personal influence of JcilGr-
son Davis, it was not a sound and dis.
posing mind capable Of making Il will.
The other point relied upon is that
Jefferson Davis exercised undue in

his sisters surroundings, cannot pre-

however, is Mortimer Dahlgrcn, now
resident Of ST. Louis, who spent Il
year or two a, Bcauvicr attending to

his half sister would do something for

Jefferson Davis had suppIantcd every
one else in Mrs. Dorscy's affections,
and that Mr.. Davis was virtually
director of the place. The contestants
feel very bitter toward tho cx-Prcsi-
dent ofthc Contcdcracy, and they throw
out dark hints of things which they
profess to know, and which they say
that they believe Jefferson Davis
would rather not have disclosed, even
though he had to compromise to pre-
