IN A SMALL WILL CONTEST.
FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF A JURY
The Boy Who Wept as He Thought
of His Mother While Fighting
for Her Estate.

A jury was impaneled IN Judge Hunts
court yesterday for the purpose of passing
upon the validity of the will of the late
Catarina Rodriguez Whetton. And Peter
T. Dunno found an opportunity to deliver
a Serueant Buzfuz oraiion.
The deceased was an elderly Mexican
woman, who died in San Francisco on May
Q. 1891. She left an estate consisting of
$50 worth of iewelry and lot on the cor
ner of Lombard and Cough streets valued
at $4,000. She also left will bearing date
of January so. 1885. in which the whole of
her estate was bequeathed to an adopted
son. Luis Navarro, to the exclusion of her
lawful husband, James Whetton, who was
cut off with the lrfiing sum of SIS cash.
The adopted son was left sole executor as
well ss heir.
1t is this will that is now being contested
by the husband, James Whetton. He al
Ieges the unsoundness of mind of the tes-
tatriX. undue influence exerted by Luis
Navarro. whom ne describes as being of a
prasping avaTicipus and selfish disposition,
and the D0n-alteStatlon OF che document
sought to be admitted to probate. Henry
/ KoWalsky is acting as counsel for Whet-
ton, while Peter T. Dunno is to wax elo-
ouent on behalf of the adopted son.
The peculiar part of the whole affair Is
that the will bears the signature of Joseph
j. Dunno, brother of Peter +. Dunno, as
one Of the witnesses. This fact was strong
" brought out by Dunno yesterday in the
course of an opening statement to the jury,
which, contrary to custom, he delivered
right upon the heels of kowalsky's open
ing address. Kowalsky had made the most
of the allegations contained In the petit
ton, which he sought to make GOOD, and
had cast strong doubts upon the actual
execution of the document at all, except SO
far as the signature of the testatrix was
concerned This was Obtained. claimed
