MissOurian TestInes Deceased said Ho
Would Not Change Will.
FALLS CITY, Neb.. April A-(speciai.p-
The famous Miles case. which has been In
the courts OF this state for seven years. is
once more on trial in the district court.
with Judge Raper presiding. For several
days the plaintiffs have presented their
case, which was principally reading of the
testimony taken in the former trial. They
introduced no new testimony. Yesterday
the defendant, ]. H. Miles, began to pre-
sent his side Of the case, and the first thing
was a heavy blow to the opposition in the
person of new witness, who riddled the
case made by the plaintiffs.
The point in the case is whether or not
a will giving J. H. Miles the bulk Of his
fathers estate, made in Rulo, Neb.. in
1888, is the last will and testament Of the
deceased. The plaintiffs claim later will
was made in st. Louis. dividing the prop
erty differently.
The new witness. w. H. Moore. who is
a prominent resident Of Missouri, says
that in the year after the new will is
claimed to have been made he saw and
talked with Mr.. Miles and was shown the
will made at Rulo. and that Mr.. Miles
stated that was his will and he did not
intend to change it. This testimony, given
by a reputable witness, takes the support
away from the plaintiffs case.
This case has attracted a great deal OF
attention for several years on account OF
the value OF the estate. and also on account
OF the charges OF perjury and corruption

Paris, Feb. 3.-Minster of Pub
lie instruction BRAND, after a lengthy
consultation with Premier Clemen-
ceau and Minister Of Justice Gouot-
Des Sagne, has taken a more extended
stride toward the solution of the
church difficulties than had been ex-
pected In the most optimistic quar-
.ers
M BRAND construes the recent en-
actments in the most liberal spirit,
and in a circular marked urgent,
and forwarded tonight to the projects
of all departments for communication
to the mayors. expresses this by rec
ognizlng the entire freedom of the
mayors with the authorization of the
municipal councils to grant leases to
churches, rent free, to common law
restriction being that the duration of
contract may not exceed eighteen
years without the approval of the
prefect The lessee is merely held re-
sponsible for all repairs while the es-
sential condition Is that the edifice
shall remain attached to the sect by
which ii was used before the separa-
ton law became effective until it is
legally disaffacted.
b. BRAND deals with the question
of assuring pastoral succession which
he considers can best be attained by
the formation of common law as
socation which shall act as lessee,
but he points out also that IN the
event of n clergyman leavliig the
church himself. any lessee has the
right under the common law to cede
the lease to a third party with the
consent of the lesseer and provided
the contract does not stirulate to the
contrary.
Relative to the terms of the lease,
NJ. BRAND states that any legal clause
may be inserted by mutual consent OF
the parties to the lease, while the
ecclesiastical situation of signatory
clergymen may be set forth with a des-
cription of the powers he held from
his hierarchical superiars. Should
clergyman before signing, desire to
consult his bishop, II is only for him
to request delay for that purpose
but the bishop cannot be party to
the contract, and his signature is
superfluous, as the slgnatorv espec-
ially is RESPONSIBLE for the carrying
out of the terms of the instrument.
A clause may be included in the
lease by which it is annulled should
the signatory leave the sect to which
he belonged when he signed. but even
when not i'm writing such a clause
would be considered as existing
The circular, though addressed to
prefects and mayors, appears to be
equally intended to offer advice TO
the clergy
