WHITEHEAD WILL GASP.
There has been nothing in Manchester for
long time that has attracted SO much atten-
ton as the Whitehead will case now pending
in the hastings court The case was called
last thursday week and has engaged the at
teltiOn of the Judge and Jury ever
since The evidence was all given
in by Wednesday when the argument
|H-NN anu WIS tNnHAAAtl yesterday. WurU
Hon. George ID. Wise made brilliant effort
in behalf OF the defendant and Mr.. w. IL.
Oarnett closed the case with a splendid sum
ming up of the evidence and q most earnest
apnea for the plaintiff.
The case was given to the jury at 430 r.
~ and 40 II T. NJ. they We're called in and
rendered tie following verd ct
We the jury. find that the paper-writing
pr0pounled as the last Will and testament of
Richard $. Whitehead deceased dated on
the nth day of November. 1890, Is the true
last viii and testament # Richard s. White
head deceased, but that the papeT-writlng
p.pounded ~ ;ne codicn TO the SAID viii,
dated tie 18th dav Of January, 1891. - no
part o. tie trI.a last wai aiG testament of said
laeaais = Whitehead deceased"
The original riil of the deceased leaves his
property about equally divided between his
nephew aud the negro woman Hutchinson,
and no the lGtter's death the entire estate %
C1t0tle nephew. The other relations are not !
satisfied with the viii. and are therefore con-
teting 10. 10 would be difficult matter TO
predict the final result.
This is the second time the case has been in
The courts. aud the evidence III the present
TRIAL made manuscript of 400 pages. The !
line of argument pursued by the plaintiffs |
Was the iucapacity of deceased 20 make will |
aDt The undue influence eIeTted over the mnn |
lr the negro woman. Susan Hutchinson. !
The Defendants of course attempted to /
aud therefore competent 10 make Will. and !
that le had perfect right 10 vii his property !
as Dee chose. There have been some fine tech |
l.aa. points brought out and q magnificent |
display of legal ability shown in the case, |
tlsrt from which there has been nothing |
worthy of mention except its great length.
