my OsIsV'
johnson City, Tenn, is excited over
an inquest of lunacy holding in the case
OF wealthy widow, Mrs. Frances Gill
lam. Her husband created Mr.. Frank
Stratton his executor, and directed that
life insurance to the amount of $40, 900
be held in trust for her by Stratton, to
be used in his discretion. Every thing
else possessed by Mr.. Killiam was willed
direct TO Stratton. Mrs. Killiam now
seeks to get possession Of the insurance
money. The effort of the defense is to
show that She is insane, and hence not a
proper person TO be entrusted with so
large a sum. The parties are all promi-
inent, and the outcome of the case is
eagerly waited for.
