Case Goes Over Again-Three Luna
tics to be Tried-Janitor Donovan
Explains to Judge MacDoneu and
Everything is all Right.
The will of Lemuel L. Hover was pro-
bated in the ordinary's court yesterday
and no notice of contest was filed.
Messrs. Julian Schely and w. D. bearing
! qualified as executors.
1t will be remembered, as stated in the
| MORNING News, that only one-third of
the estate, which amounts to something
like $4,000, was left to Mrs. Hover, and
that the balance was to go to MIR John
Sullivan Schley. It was believed that
! Mrs. Hover through her attorneys,
Messrs. Garrard, Meldrim & Newman,
would file a notice of protest when the
will was probated, on the ground that
| Hover's mind was unbalanced, but the
notice did not materialize
Under the Georgia laws Mrs. Hover
| could have applied for a dover which is
one-third of an estate, if Hover by a codi-
! Gil to his will had not stated that the one
! third left her was In lien of a dover. I'm
less now she can prove that he was men
| tally unbalanced, about the only thing she
/ can do will be to apply for a
! years support, which is an
! amount that varies according to
! circumstances. 1t is still believed that
| the will is going to be contested, and it is
! thought that notice will be served within
a few days.

IN THE OTHER COURTS.
Very little was done in either the supe-
riOr court or the city court yesterday.
There were several cases on the supe-
rior court docket, but most of them went
over to the next term. The largest
part of the day in the court was spent in
trying to get to an argument for new trial
in the famous case of r. d. Freeman and
| others VS., M. c. Prendergast and others,
in which several parties are suing for
their alleged interest in lot of property
sold by Mr.. Prendergast. The motion for
new trial was fled sometime ago
and the argument was to have
| been heard last Saturday, but for some
reason or other it went over until Mon
! day Now that no agreement on the
motion has been reached, the case will
probably go over to the next term
