ALICE COERCION; ASK
NEW TRIAL IN WILL CASE

Directing to the action OF Judge
Brooke in sending the jury back after
II had announced II was unable to
agree, the heirs of the late Archibald
Mcintyre have filed motion for new
trial OF the celebrated will contest.
The action of the court is pro-
nounced coercion, and affldavits are
filed by jurors who declare that they
changed their votes rather than be
confined longer In the jury room. in
which they spent &c hours.
The attorneys for the Mcintyre heirs
also claim to have discovered new evi.
dence, and present statement sworn
to by Mrs. Della Willmarth, of Sand
Hill. Mrs. Willmarth says that Mrs.
Yerkes. the aged housekeeper Of the
late Archibald Mcintyre, who claimed
to have found draft OF the alleged
will on which the contestants based
their claim. told her that Mr.. Mcintyre
left no will, ard that she swore falsely
at the solicitation OF Attorney Henry
Dubois and Mrs. Augusta Ewing. She
afterwards told Mrs. Willmarth, the af-
f1davit says, that she had sworn false
ly, and would kill herself. She did
commit suicide on the eve OF a pre-
vious trial.
