A A G RED STRING.
Basis of Insanity Charge i'm a Will
Controversy.

The Circuit Court jury hat sat for two
weeks listening to the contest of the will of
Clark Wait yesterday returned a verdict
in favor of Harriet Westfall, a grand
daughter, thus setting the will aside. The
estate involves about $4,000 and has in
Cured as much litigation as any hat ever
came up in the Circuit Court. This was the
second trial. Harriet Westfall did not
receive a proportion of the estate in the
will which she claims rightfully belonged
to her. The other heirs of Wait were made
defendants in the suit. They commended
that Clark Wait had advanced money TO
Harriet WestfallS father equal to the
amount of her share in the estate.
The principal contention during the hear
ing was that Wait was of unsound mind
when the will was executed. To prove this
the plaintiff introduced evidence to show
that Wait was continuously hunting for
a hidden treasure on his farm with a red
string possessing magic power, which was
eventually stolen by an Indian or negro
giant. 1t was also said that the red string
possessed healing power.
