MAY CAUSE RETRIAL
 OF CULLOM CASE
Through Death of Judge Ralph Wheel
 CT of Superior Court.

It is possible that the death of Judge Ralph Wheeler will make nec- essary the retrial of the Cullum case which has attracted considerable at tention in this state. This is the case in which Edward Culfum was cut off by his wife in her will and most of her property left to her sister Mrs. Margaret Colwell. The husband tried to break the will and failed. Then the Waterbury Savings bank tried to find whether s10.500 in it's custody should go to the husband or to the estate of his wife. This case was tried before Judge Wheeler and when the decision was given the husband had died The court decreed that Se,e00 should go to the husbands estate and the balance to the Wife's. A niece. Mrs. Mary keegan Wood ruff. was appointed administratrix of the husbands estate.
 Counsel for James F. Colwell ex- ecutor of the estate of Mrs. Cuifum, appealed to the supreme court. In do- ing so, they failed to cite the admin istratrix as a o-defendant and coun- seI for Edward Cullum estate claimed the case was not properly in court, and the supreme court decided. After this motion was made before Judge Greene to have the adminis- tratrix made a co-defendant and this motion was granted. which means that the case will again go to the supreme court. This calls for the preparing of a new finding of facts, but the death of Judge Wheeler. the trial judge, may mean that the entire case may have to be tried again.
