From 3 staff Correspondentl


LINCOLN, June 16.-(Special.) "A brief In
support Of the motion recently made for a
rehearing of the celebrated Miles will case
was filed this morning by John L. Web
ster, attorney for the Williams children.
heirs of Stephen B. Miles.
Mr. Webster makes much Of the fact that
In its decision. which was against the Will
lisms children, the court substantially
found that Miles did make a will in st.
Louis posterior to the Rulo will under
which Joseph II. Miles inherits; that II
also found as a question of law that there
is no presumption that the st. Louis will
revoked the Rulo will. and to have the st.
Louis will operate as a revocation of the
other there must be proof that the st.
Louis instrument contained a revocatory
clause or was inconsistent with the Rulo
will. The court also found that the dec
larations OF the testator alone were not
SUFFICIENT to show that the st. Louis will
revoked the former one, but that there
must be more direct proof and clear. equiv
ocal and convincing evidence of the con-
tents OF the ST. Louis wilE
The point is made by the attorney that
the court erred in that II applied to this
case the rule of evidence which obtains
where the proceeding is to probate a lost
will. when as n matter of fact 1t is an ac-
tion to set aside the probate OF the Rulo
will upon the ground that It was not the
last will OF the testator. He insists that
when a lost will is to be proved the court
should know with certainty what the con-
tents are, but to set aside the probate on
the ground OF subsequent and inconsist-
ent instrument II is only necessary to know
by that reasonable degree of certainty or
preponderance of evidence that shall sat
isfy the court that there was a second will
which revoked the first, either by incon-
sistency or by an express revocatory clause.
He insists the preponderance of evidence
was sufficient TO show an inconsistency be-
tween the two.
Mr.. Webster also attacks with vigor the
presumption of law that a posterior will
is not inconsistent with and does not re-
woke a prior will is a fiction, false in fact
and contrary to human experience and in
cases of lost wills leads to disinheritance
and gross wrongs, and ought not TO re-
ceive the sanction of the courts. The very
purpose of making a second will Is to
change the manner of distribution pro-
vided for in the first. II this is not so,
asks the attorney, why make Il?

Anxious to Dodge.

W DOoBCS
Tho big call OF today's session of the
supreme court brought nearly 200 lawyers
TO the court room this morning. The most
OF the attorneys interested showed a mani
fest desire to avoid any argument or con-
sideration of their cases at the present
sitting OF the court. An unusual number of
cases Of Illness were reported, and the
health of most lawyers families seemed
TO be in a very precarious state.
The truth was, the attorneys were anx-
ious to get away on vacations and lodged
all they possibly could. More than half of
the cases called were postponed until Sep
tember Is. to which time the court will
adjourn after the present sitting is ended.
