Y Hanshwout wins His mothers will is

Z erty. That is the result of Judge Kilby's
i Decision in the County Court to-day
3 where the case of Sorrett VS.. Haugh-
won't ct ais. VS.. James L. Haughwout,
an action TO render invalid Will on
Z whose construction depend bank ac-
count and other possessions. T.. r.. Hol-
land represented the contestant, and
i Lee Britt appeared for the contestee.
ss Mrs. Catherine Haughwout died at
Crittendon on oct. %, 1896. When her
I last testament was read 1t was found
that the property was willed to her son
James. The other heirs questioned the
validity of the will. and sought legal
process to have its provisions broken,
THE two points on which the contestants
igfelied we're that the deceased was not
competent to make her will because of
7 her mental condition at the time, and
that undue influence had b. eXerted
I by the conteStee and others. SO they
failed to establish to Judge I<ilby's sat
j detection. and the Court ruled to sus-
tain its validity, and ordered it recorded
i as the last will and testament of Mrs.
Catherine Haughwout. The deceased
was IS years old at the time of demise.
The will was drawn twelve days before
death by Justice Henry L. Boush.
The witnesses to-day for the contest
ants were Garrett w. Haughwout Mrs.
Emma Robey. Mrs. Ella Haughwout
and Mrs. Alice Haughwout. Those who
gave evidence to sustain the will were
Justice Boush, George ID. Wilkerson.
Mrs S. M. Boush. Mrs. NJ. NJ. Ayers DR..
George w. Butts and James f. Haugh-
ewout.
