Toms River will fight in the Court OF
Chancery, must disgorge an estate OF
s100, 900 and pay all the costs of the
litigation, by an opinion just filed In

The ice-chancellor finds that there
was ~nefarious interference In the ao-
ton Of Jackson in inducing his sister.
Mrs. Louise A. Aumack, to make q
will in his favor.
vice-ChanceIlor Walkers opinion dis
closes a remarkable story. The fortune
originally belonged to Selah Aumack'
OF Toms River. who was stricken WITH
apoplexy. He desired to make a vii
leaving his estate to his nieces ano
nephews. but his condition was so bad
that he found this task very distress
ing. Then he acted on his wife's sug.
gestion that he make a simpler will
leaving his entire estate to her, with
the verbal understanding that she
should bequeath to the heirs whom
he desired to have ..
Undue Influence Alleged.
In December, 1907. Mrs. AumaclS be-
came seriously Ill, her husband having
died some time before this date. AS
she was about to die her brother, Jack
son, this defendant, induced her to
make q will in his favor, thus breaking
the agreement with the dead husband,
II appeared from the testimony thai
Mrs. Aumack was unwilling to dlsre-
gard her husbands wishes. but finally
yielded to the persuasion Of jackson.
Jackson, 1t was shown, attended to
all the details of the will. such rs call
ing the lawyers and procuring the wit
neSses.
After this will had been drawn and
Mrs. Aumack was facing death Jack
son. according to the testimony, gave
orders that Mrs. Aumack was not to see
her pastor, nor any of the children oil
her husbands brother, Elijah Aumack
who would nave benefited had the will
been made IA desired by Selah AumacS
Vice-Chancellor Walker found in these
instructions an effort on the part OF
jackson to prevent any change being
made in the will which he had induced
Mrs. Aumack to make. The evidence
was to the effect that Mr.. Aumack dis
liked and distrusted his brother-in-law
Jackson.
