ALL CLAIrIS WITHDRAWN
James p. kerr's Will Set Aside In
Favor of His Mother.

Judge Coffey denied probate of the will
of James p. Kerr. deceased. yesterday.
and in consequence his mother will receive
the whole of the estate.
Kerr was a well-known horseman and
editor of the Breeder and Sportsman, a
weekly paper. He died in Denver, Colo,
on June 2s. 1892. and left rather a curious
will. His estate consists mainly of the
ownership of the Breeder and Sportsman,
and this he divided In three equal shares.
One-tnrd was to go to his mother. one
third to his manager, f. W. Kelly, and
one-third to CorteZ ID. Thompson, the we'll
known sprinter and sport. Interest in the
trotting stallion Memo was divided in like
manner.
Kerr's mother opposed the will on the
ground that it was unjust. She claimed
that undue influence had been brought 20
bear on her son while he was weak and of
unsound mind; and among other things
she instanced the fact OF her son havln e
presented Thompson with the valuable
diamond ring which he used to wear on
his finger. In support Of her conten ito n

former trainer. was read, in which Storm
stated that he was present when the will
was executed. Kerr was i'll in bed. and
was decidedly not Of sound and disposing
mind at the time.
However. there was no contest over the
will after all, for Thompson, recognizing
that the will could hardly stand, took the
Initiative and assigned his interest under
the will over to Kerr's mother. Kelly also
expressed himself content to remain mana
ger of the Breeder and Sportsman without
claiming his one third interest, and upon
this understanding Judge Coffey ordered
the will to be set aside and the whole es-
tate to so to Kerr's mother.
