liar piece of litigation was announced this

# Trinkler was probated June 81, 1888 and
letters were granted to Gwynu Garnett,
lawyer. Trinkler's other brothers and his
uelces and nephews brought suit to have
he will declared void. 1t was charged by
the contestants that Trinkler bequeathed
the property as he did through the undue
influence of Daniel S. Trinkler, legatee,
and George S. Trinkler, father of the other
legatees, who caused the domestic tragedy
and resped the benefit of the will oy repre-
senting to Thinker that bis wife was untrue
10 him. A great deal Of evidence was
heard but no contest was made by the lega-
tees, and the jury found from the facts
that undue influence had been employed on
the testator, and that the will was not the last
will and testament of Trinkler. AS prayed
in the bill, the will was laid aside, and a
distribution OF Thinkers property will be
made among the heirs-atl law

Experts have been busy for week past
