when Mcdonnell signed the instrument he
was asked If he knew what he was sign

testified that through the women folk
of the Hynes household the women folk

Hynes drew the will for the late
Charles 3. Slicer and also that Victory
had obtained knowledge of the contents
Of the will. and when pressed for his
source of information said that his wife
had been told by some of Hynes rela-
tives. The word soon got to Hynes and
then there was trouble, and as soon as
Victory left the witness stand he was
accosted by Hynes. who told him that
he had lied The Deputy District Attor-
ney proposed to make him make a re-
traction of what he had said, when the
words and demonstrations caused the
several bystanders to get between the
angry men and separate them.
