bell, deceased, asking for the appoint
ment OF H. NJ Won Holt as trustee of
the estate, the defendants, the children
and grandchildren of James Campbell
have fled a plea in abatement. They
allege that they fled bill asking for
the appointment of Robert W. Single
as trustee, and that the parties and the
subject matter of their bill are exact
" the same as those in the present bill.
As their bill is still pending on appeal,
they insist that the. present bill, the
one asking for the appointment of Won
Holt, cannot be presented until the
other case is determined.
