He WIS Competent, but the Jury F1od
Undue Influence to Have Been Used.
In the Circuit Court. Judge Cox, this morn
ing the jury in the case Of Strong ct al. agt.
Cook ct al.-issues as to the validity Of the will
of the late Samuel Strong-found verdict
multiplying the will. The case had
been on trial for over q month and
came up on issues from the Probate Court as
to the validity of the will. Col Strong had
been before the courts with case against the
District for work done under the board of pub
lie works amounting to about $50, 900, and
has had various counsel, among them
Gen. B. F. Butler and Mr.. Cook. The case was
several times referred to arbitrators and awards
in various amounts made which were subse-
quently set aside and the last award was in the
neighborhood OF 100000. Against this Gen.
Butler filed bill to enjoin the payment until
fees for his services had been paid, and this
case had not been disposed Of at the time Of
his death. Col. Strong made will about year
ago in which he named Col. Cook, Mr.. Penni-
field and his brother Robert as executors
and also appointed guardians to his children.
directing that the litigation be carried on.
Against the probate Of this will caveat was
filed in which the brother, Robert Strong,
joined, and the questions were as to the tesla
mentary condition of Col. Strong. whether
undue influence was used, was anything added
after it had been read over to him, and was it
the last will.
The case, as stated, was commenced last
month, Gen. Butler and o. d. Barrett for the
caveators and Mr.. II. Z. Davis for the caveatee.
Capt. Cole was associated with MIR. Davis, but
on his appointment as district attorney found
it necessary to retire from the case.
The case was given to the jury yesterday
afternoon with instructions when they agreed
to make a sealed verdict. A conclusion was
reached Mt 2.30 O'clock this morning and on
the opening of the court it was opened, and,
after the jury had been polled, it was recorded.
The verdict finds that Strong was at the time
capable of making valid deed or contract;
that it was made under undue influence; that
the words ''to serve withou. bond were added
after the will had been read over to him, and
that the paper was not the last will OF Col.
Strong.
Mr.. Davis gave notice Of motion to set aside
the verdict on the ground of inconsistency.
