Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Jan. 4.-The attend
ance at the Morrison will case to-day was

was that concerning the three wills made
by James l.. Morrison. each of which was
different, and in the first of which the
plaintiffs received equal share in the
property with the defendants, viz, one
third, there being at that time three heirs.
The other testimony introduced was con-
corning Mr.. Morrisons general mental con-
dition, the plaintiffs desiring to prove that
he was of unsound mind and incapable of
making will One witness testified that
his memory was bad. and another that, al
though having known Mr.. Morrison for fif-
teen years he had on one occasion passed
her by without recognition, paying no at
tention to her extended hand. Another tes-
titled that his eyes bore an unusual ex-
preston. There was trouble of any
kind arose in the proceedings to-day, but
every inch of the ground was fought over
with tenacity seldom Witnessed. Ex-
