When asked what action he proposed
taking in regard to William SharOn's will,
George W. Tyler of Sarah Althea counsel
made the following statement:
1--WE are going to contest the will on the
ground that under Section 1904 of the Civil

was revocation of the will. That is all
there is to it and at present have nothing
more to say
The section referred to by Tyler reads:

is made in the testator's interest in a thing
previously disposed of by his will expresses
his intent that it shall be revocation, or If
it contains provisions wholly inconsistent
with the terms and nature of the testament
tary disposition, it operates as a revocation
thereof, unless such Inconsistent provisions
depend on condition or contingency by
reason of which they do not take effect.

needed, is that do not include newspapers
