WILL OF MORAN
UNDER CONTEST
MRS. RICHARDS MUST BREAK IT
~ OR LOSE ALL.
$40, 900 Estate Involved in an Action
Alleging that the Testator Was
Under Duress and Unduly Influenced
Petitioner Must Break the Will
or Under Its Terms She Will Not
Inherit a Cent.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. ..
Eldora, Iowa, March 23.-Mrs. A. s..
Richards of Marshalltown. has filed Pc
tition in the district court here contest
ing the will Of her father, the late s. B.
Moran of this city. The case is attract
ing much attention in this section OF Iowa
because Of the large amount Of property
involved the prominence of the persons
concerned and the peculiar provisions Of
the will. y -. ST..
Moran was wealthy farmer and left
property valued at $4,000. BY the terms
of the will the widow, who was Moran's
second wife, is left the home farm of 100
acres valued at fully $500 an acre. There
are six children, all by Morans first wife.
To these is left the remainder Of the prop
erty which is to be sold and divided, each
child except the oldest son to receive
$500, the residue to go to the oldest son.
His share, it is estimated, under the will
would be not less than 81, 900.
There is a provision in the will than any
heir contesting is to forfeit his share
which the petitioner will do unless she
succeeds in breaking the document. This
feature lends especial interest to the con-
test. The time set for prObating Of the
will was set for this afternoon and OBJ
lection was made by the plaintiffs at:
torneys on the ground that the will was
made under duress and while the saic
Moran was under undue influence. 80
Some sensational developments are
looked for. Mrs. Moran was named in the
will as administrative without bond anc
this provision was not satisfactory. The
terms of the will too, We're regarded as
unfair by a majority Of their heirs. The
Oldest son who will get the bulk Of the
property not left to the wife left home
when he was only 16 and it is said never
returned, altho he has lived in the state
and has large amount of property. There
is much interest in the position he will
take. ~ 80
