Appeal From the Decision Of
Municipal Court Probating
the instrument.

Judge Rogers in the jury trial waived
division OF the appellate court today
partly heard the probate appeal OF
Anna +. and Robert J. Draper, appel
lants VS.. Frederick A. Greene. admin
istrator with the will annexed, OF Lucy
A. Draper. The appellants are children
OF the testatrix and the will was ad-
mitted 10 probate by the municipal
court of this city. There was a codlcil
TO the will.
Mrs. Draper attempted TO create a
trust by the Will that is contested. but
her effort was very much complicated
and no satisfactory conclusion can be
arrived at by counsel as to just what
she meant to have done with her
property. All the parties interested in
the estate have signed releases TO the
appellants who wish the will set aside
Robina p Burrill today testified she
was one OF the witnesses to the will
and that she did not sign Il in the
presence OF the other witnesses, nor
did she see Mrs. Draper sign her name
TO the win. Mrs. Draper sent for her
and asked her TO sign that paper.
The hearing was continued In order
that other witnesses TO the will ami
codicil may be examined. Mrs. Draper
made her will in 1875 and she left an
estate worth about $4,000.
