Brothers and Sisters 10 Indiana

CHARGE UNDUE INFLUENCE.
Say That Such Was Brought 10 Hear
by Richard N. johnson, the
Devisee. ~

The heirs to the estate OF Ben john
son, deceased, who died In this city
on oct. 20, 1901, today filed a contest
to the purported win Of decendent In the
probate division Of the district court
The contest was filed by Booth, Lee n
Richie, attorneys for William NJ john
son and five other brothers and sisters
Of dscedent, who reside In Evansville,
Ind. The estate Is valued at $4,000,
and, under the terms Of the VIII. which
was executed shortly before the death
Of decedent, the larger part of 1t was
bequeathed to Richard M. Johnson, who
Is named in the will as executor. and
against whom charges Of undue iniu-
ence are made.
The petitioners allege that the will,
which was admitted to probate on Nov.
10, 1901, Is not the last VIII OF decedent,
FOR the reason that IL was executed
short time before his death when he
was not OF sound and dlsposing mind,
While weakened by disease, It Is alleg.
ed, he was induced by undue influence
on the part OF Richard M. Johnson, to
execute said pretended will and that
he did not understand the nature and
effect OF such document, nor Of his own
acts In purporting to execute the
same.
Petitioners claim that Richard M.
Johnson, who is also brother of de-
cedent exercised such undue influence
over decedent for the purpose Of being
appointed executor and for the further
purpose Of securing the largest part of
said estate for himself and to prevent
petitioners from receiving their just
proportion Of said estate. The heirs
who signed the petition ask that the
order heretofore made admitting the
viii 10 probate and appointing Rich
ard NJ. johnson as executor without
bonds, be revoked, and that V. p.
Hiskey be appointed adm )tstrator of
the estate. They also ask that said
executor and other heirs. living In this
city, be cited to appear and show
cause why the probate of the will
should not be revoked.
