OF $4,000 in the Supreme Court yesterday
when a jury held that the first will OF
Edward o. Kindberg. in which he left that
amount TO the hospital, valid and that
the second will of the testatOr was invalid.
The latter inding was based on the ground
that when Kindberg made his second will
he was Of unsound mind and the victim Of
fraud and undue influence.
Kindberg died about two years ago and
both Wills were offered for probate. The
case was first tried in the Surrogate q
Court and went 10 the Appellate Division,
where II was sent back 70 the Surrogate $
