MRS. WILLIAMS WILL rRoBArED.
The Caveat OverruIed by Judge HI.
l.. FerriII,


Judge Hampton L. Ferrill, in the court
of ordinary. heard argument yesterday
on the caveat to the probating in SOL
emn form OF the will of Mrs. Mary E.
Williams, after which he decided to dis
miss the caveat and admit the will TO
probate in solemn form as requested by
the executor, Mr.. Horace A. Crane.
The executor was represented by
Messrs Saussy & Saussy, and the cav
Gators by Messrs. Isaac Beckett and A.
S. Way. The caveators were Sallie E.
Bennett, Ola Jackson, and Archie Jack
son, children of Ellen Jackson, half
sister of the deceased, and Sarah e. Rich
ardson daughter of a fun sister. The
grounds of the caveat We're that the de-
ceased was not of sound and disposing
mind and memory, and that she was in
capacitated to make will. 1t was also
alleged that the testatrix had been in
duced and influenced by her brother to
make the small provision of $500 for Mrs.
Emma Richardson, and also to largely
disinherit Sarah E. Richardson and to
disinherit in toto Ola and Archie jack
son.
The bearing lasted about fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes. There appeared to be no evil
dence produced to support the assertions
or the caveat, and Judge Ferrill over
ruled 1t, and admitted the will to pro-
bate. The letters testamentory hereto
fore granted to Mr.. H. A. Crane were con-
hrmed. 1t is understood the case will
probably be appealed by the caveators
10 the superior court, and fight made
on the will there.
