Probate Court-Judge Robertson. In this court yesterday the hearing upon the will of the late E. E. Mitchell, which is contested by fourteen cousins, was re- l stunned. Mir. Mitchell left about s6, 900, the greater portion of which he willed to Patrick Higgins, the Grand avenue saloon keeper, who was Mitchell's conservator. The cousins contest on the ground that | Mitchell was not mentally capable of | drawing a will when he did so.
 MT. Mitchell died early in December of pneumonia. He was taken i'll one Sunday 1 night and died about 2 o'clock the follow | ing Thursday morning. He made his will about thirty six hours before his death. | n FI I D as sn expert upon pneumonia, and was ex- l amined St length upon a peraon's ability l to draw will in case like MT. Mitchell's s 1 thirty six hours before death. He said in 1 part: "A man under those circumstances would be entirely incompetent to transact l any business whatever thirty-six hours be- l fore death. There are few diseases which l give as severe a shock to the nervous sys- | fem as pneumonia. The fact that the dis eaee proved fatal in four and half days indicates that the attack was unusu- ally acute, and that the fever must
 have been severe. A continuance of 8
 high fever is @ severe tax upon the brain
 and ths nervous system. The briefness of
 the attack indicates large amount of lung
 tissue involved, and consequently dimin-
 ishes the capacity of the lungs to aerste
 the blood. The demands for proper aera-
 tion of the blood are especially severe in
 fever. The patient is compelled to in
 crease the respiratory rate greatly to meet
 this demand. That the patient breathes
 thirty, forty or sixty times minute is an
 other exhausting factor. Continued pain,
 res.le ssness produced by high fever and
 the lack of sleep, and the amount of reme dies used to produce sleep, bromides and chlorals in considerable doses, would alse
 tend to reduce the ability to trsx5act any business" The hearing was at this poin ) continued until next Monday morning.
