Inquests Held Today.
Holt VIII Sustained.

After hard-fought trials through
two sessions of court. a jury returned
a verdict in the case of Edgar Egbert
Holt against Louis Bell Holt, decid-
ing that the will probated in county
court was the last will and testament
of william J. Holt, who died several
years ago. Last June the case was
tried. but a hung jury resulted. The
estate LEFT by Holt was valued at
about $4,000, but 1t has been bitterly
fought owing to the unfriendly rela-
tons existing between the children.
The plaintiff sought to show that
his father was OF unsound mind and
that undue influence was brought to
bear upon him by Louis Holt. The
defense counteracted this evidence by
a large number of witnesses, who
testified that Mr.. Holt was of sound
and disposng mind.
The Will was written between the
years 1S9G-19O) by DR.. C. II. Brothers
and was signed in the presence OF
witnesses The date was omitted and
the initialg OF one or his son-in-laWs
was omitted in the will. These omis-
sions were attacked by the plaintiff
who also sought TO substantiate his
attack By the division of the estate.
The decedent left $40 each to his
children, Edgar Egbert Holt. Mrs.
Lena Kelly and VIII Holt, while the
remainder of his estate was to be
divided equally between Louis Belt
Holt, Clarence Holt and Mrs. George
Kelly, bat Louis Holt was to hold in
trust the part bequeathed to Mrs,
Kelly.
The defense introduced a large
number of witnesses to show that Mr.
Holt was Of strong mind. and citizens
from all over the county were sum
moned. Mr.. Holt formerly was a
toll gate keeper and later kept d
grocery store in Rowlandtown. His
estate consisted Of several hundred
dollars In cash, two houses and lots
and two vacant lots in the city.
