CLEMMONs WILL CASE.
District Attorney Holton Visits Ashe-
Vile to See the Will.

District Attorney Holton was in
Asheville last week Investigating
matters pertaining to the will of the
late K L. Clemmons, who died In Sa-
lem; also to acquaint himself with
the defunct First National Bank sit
uatlon at Asheville. The Citizen says
that in the Clemmous will case, Mr..
Holton Is counsel for the heirs at law.
He looked carefully over the records.
The contestants take the position
that the benefciaries named In the
will are not sufficiently pointed out to
enable the trust to be enforced by the
courts. A large amount is beQueathed
to the Moravian church at Salem,
which, it is alleged, has no corporate
capacity; that a school and church
shall be established and house pro-
vided for the preacher and teachers;
that 100 acres of land shall be purch-
ased near the church and divided into
lots CT one acre each; that the lots
shall be sold to members OF the church
for 81 apiece. To fulfill the provisions
OF the will, it is claimed, church
must be established a congregation
gotten together, the members located
on the land, and they will be compell-
ed to bring up children and locate
them on the land.
1t Is likely that the question Of san
ity will De advanced when the case is
heard and it Is believed that different
parties will testify that Mr.. Glenn
mons was at least childish and eccen.
