WILL CASE
ONE SET CHARGES HENRY d.
BOTS WITH SENSATIONAL PLOT,
s WHILE OTHER ATTACKS REPu-
( rArloN OF CHIEF AccusER-

Judge Brooke heard arguments Mon
day morning on the petition LOT new
trial OF the celebrated Mcintyre VIII
case. which has already been tried Ia
the circuit court four times, and IN
which the proponents OF the VIII won
n victory several weeks ago.
A new trial was asked for on the
ground that much important tesu
mony has recently come to light, tes-
timony unknown at the previous trial.
Afudayits were read from five OF the
Jurors who sat in the case several
weeks ago. In which they claimed that
they were coerced into changing tneis
opinions. These Ave men allege that
they were In favor OF the contestants,
but voted with the other seven only
when II wars reported In the
Jury room that they wouil
be locked up for three days IL
they did not reach an agreement soon
err. They claimed to have been con.
fined In a small room devoid OF all
comforts.
Important afidavits were also read
from Charles Willmarth and his wife,
Della, of Sand Hill. Willmarth claims
that several years age he was ap-
preached by Henry Cubois, Detroit
attorney. whose wife Will receive con-
siderable property should the propon-
ents eventually win. and asked to as
sist In making fake will TO the Nc
Intyre estate Mrs. W'illmarth claims
to have been tn the Bupofs home and
she says she heard Mr.. Dubois urge
her husband to go into the scheme.
In opposing the motion for a new
trial. the attorneys for the proponents
produced the affidavits of Mr.. and Mrs
Dubois, both OF whom allege that the
eHidavits of the Willmarths are false,
and say that the only time Mr. and
Mrs. Willmarth ever visited In the Du-
kois home, the evening was spent IN
card playing, and that the Mcintyre
will was not mentioned.
AfidRvits from rs persons we're also
reid attacking the reputation of Will
marth, claiming he docs not always
tell the truth.
In his affdayit Charles willmarth
claimed that part of Henry Dubois
scheme was to get Volney Smith to
write will, and then say that the
document was written by his father.
the late Squire Smith, as both father
and son wrote exactly alike. In an
sfidavit also read volney Smith says
he was never asked TO write will.
and that HIS writing Is not al all like
his fathers He expresses his belief
that the paper on which the propon,
ents pin their hopes was written BIZ
his father.
At the conclusion OF the arguments,
Judge Brooke reserved his decision.
