u. Thomson aud Virginia a Thomson
vs.. tho Norfolk Bank for Savings and
Trusts aud about thirty other defendants
contain Il number of interesting features.
As already stated, the purpose Of this
cause entered last week In tho Circuit
Court OF tho city of Richmond, is to
break tho will Of Edward Wilson James,
of Norfolk. who left an estate Of about
5000, O00s The specific allegations In the
bill and tho, facts ndduccd In support OF
them show thc grounds upon which tho
plaintiffs rely to III" 'ldate certain be-
quests and to cause revocation Of the act
iof the Norfolk court in permitting tho
Bank for Savings and Trusts to qualify
us executor pf the estate. Hero arc
some fathe2 principal allegations:
II Tho plaintiffs allegc that n. Nv. james,
having failed to appoint an executor,
the next OF kinaof =. W..SJames were
entitled to, administer the estate Of Il.
W. James with the will annexed.
They further claim that the Norfolk
Bank for Savings and Trusts Is an exc
cutor in its own wrong; that its powers
should be revoked. and administration
OF the estate granted to the next of kin.
The swill, after various specific legacies'
tprovides:. Tho remainder of}my estate

tho estate to the Confederate Home near
Richmond, Va, and that It pay to Helen

Tho plaintiffs further allegc that tho

the lcgateo could only take under this
clause OF tho will by an acceptance OF
tho condition attached thereto ana a

ceptance Of tho condition would require
tho University Of Virginia to assume
obligations and to perform duties wholly
inconsistent. with the power vested inI

$40, 900; A. j. Aclsiss, $500; Virginia
Woodhouse, Edward James Woodhouse,

the bill Is as follows: "Thc University
