Adolph.
1t is declared by the plaintiffs that at
the time of executing this deed Mrs
Bauerle was of unsound mind. weak. de-
bilitated and incompetent to execute a
deed. 1t is further alleged that Bauerle
compelled his mother TO sign the instru-
men by menace and threats of "declar-
ing TO the world that she had not been a
woman of good character"
More than this, II is alleged that be-
cause he was with her every day the
