FATHER VS.. CHILDREN
THE YoAKaM N a CURIOUS PEo-
BATE CAGE.
old MT. Yonkam's Rathor sensatioasy
charges Against ID. w. aud Mrs.
Minde Davis of Pasad ena.
Tho Case Yesterday.

A curious probate case In now on triai
before Judge Clark in department. two
Of the superior court, il being contest
over the probate OF the will of MrH.
Emily r. Yoakam, who died at Pasa-
dena, March 22d last, leaving an estate
valued at $4,000, consisting principally
OF real property in that city.
A petition for probate OF the will was
filed April Sd by Marion Yoakam, one
of the sons of the deceased, who was
named as executor, and George p. Yoa-
kan, husband OF the deceased, filed an
opposition to the probate April 18th.
Bv the provisions of the will the hus-
band was not left any OF the property,
the testatrix stating in the document
that he had an abundance OF means,
and she desired ell she had to be divided
among the children In accordance with
her wishes which were set forth In vari-
GUS paragraphs.
She was an old lady, and her husband
is an old man, they having been mar
ried over 40 years. The children are all
grown and married. During their earlier
married life they accumulated some
means and divided it into separate
estates.
The protest filed by the surviving hus- /
band made some grave charges. He
claims that Mrs. Yoakam was sick in
bed when the will wss executed, at the
house Of d. w. and Mrs. Minda Davis,
and that with DR.. Hodges they prevent
ed him by force and violence from visit
ing bis wife. He further charged that
they made false statements to her about
L L.. .nt. rl, Id Al halt tnr~f
that he had discarded her, for the pur-
pose of getting her to will her property
away from him.
They carried their enmity against
him so far, he alleged, that they caused
him to be arrested on a trumped up
charge, which was finally dismissed,
but it accomplished its purpose OF pre-
venting him from seeing his wife, SUBJ.
sequent to the execution OF the will.
A jury was demanded by Mr.. Yoak-
am in the matter and it was empanelled
during the forenoon. The taking OF tes-
timony upon the charges lasted all the
afternoon, and had not been finished
when court adjourned. The old man
told his story on the witness stand, and
reiterated the charges he made of Undue
influence exercised by those whom he
called his enemies. The old gentleman
was quite garrulous over hia wrongs, and
was allowed by counsel to give the re-
cital in about his own way.
The children deny all the allegations,
ana say that their father is only ianci-
full in holding 10 any such ideas. They
claim that Mrs. Yoakam knew perfectly
what she was doing and that she
thought her husband had enough to
keep him very comfortably, and that
her children needed what che had more
than he did.

much. Their creditors are wholesale
