show the domestic relations between
Mrs. Bull and her only child, Mrs. Olea
Bull Vaughn, who is contesting a CO.
dicil of the will on the ground that
her mother was not mentally respon-
sible when she signed it.
Mr. Thorp testified he never had any
communication with Mrs. Bull about
gifts. At one time he handled her
financial affairs but never communi-
Gated with her about gifts which she
made in 1908 and 1909 to those assoc
