PETER PLUNKET, 108,
LIVES IN FAYETTE Co

Waucoma, May 22.-With clear
mind, a steady eye and possessed OF
the ability to relate many OF the thrlll-
ing experiences of his early life, DIS
we'll as intelligently to discuss pres
ent.day questions of moment, Peter
Plunkett who is over 10S years OF age,

FRANCES BlckSLER POWERS
PROFITS BY CONTRASTING
4. 1IckSLER WILL.

Mt. Pleasant, May 22.-The contest
of the will of the late John Blcksler
of Salem, came to summary con-
clusion late Thursday afternoon, when
w. E. Blake, one of the attorneys for
the proponents, addressed the court to
the effect that they and the attorneys
for Frances Bicksler Powers had ar
rived at a full agreement and asked
that the case be dismissed
According to the terms of settlement
the estate Is divided into three equal
parts, the widow, Belle Bicksler recelv-
ing one-third and the remainder to be
equally divided among the two natural
children, W. Scott and Florence Bick-
sler. Frances 'Bicksler Powers re-
ceives for relinquishing all claims 3d.
900 in cash Immediately, and $4,000 to
be placed in trust for her, or a total
of $1,000 less her attorneys fees. IN
return for this she acknowledges that
she is not the child of John and Belle
Bicksler either prior to or after their
marriage, that her adoption papers are
null and void, and that she has no
right of Inheritance and that John
Bicksler was of sound mind at the
time he executed his will, and was not
unduly Influenced by his widow ]. Belle
Bicksler or any other person. The
costs of the case save for the attorneys
fees will be charged up to, the estate.
AS the result of the trial, Frances
Bicksler Powers receives 900 and a
name free from the stigma OF illegiti-
macy.
It will be remembered that when the
will of the late John Bicksler was offer
ed for probation, it was found that
Frances Bicksler Powers who was I'M
derstood to be an adopted daughter,
received only $1,000 and son w.
Scott Bicksler, life interest in a GER
tain portion Of the estate Of s125,O00.
Immediately the two Joined forces and
instituted the contest of the will. The
best legal talent in the state was ar
rayed on the two sides. In the course
as the trial evidence was introduced to

prove that Frances Powers was the I'LL
gitimate child of John and Belle Bick
sler, born before their marriage. AS
a reputation of this Mrs. Mary Miles
of Chicago, was placed upon the stand
who testified that she was the mother
of Frances Bicksler Powers, and
brought with her documentary evil
dence to that effect and also to prove
that Frances had been adopted by John
and Belle Bicksler. This evidence was
the real turning point in the case. Be-
fore Mrs Miles testified all indications
had been favorable for the plaintiff.
According to the law the adoption
papers of a child must be signed by
both parents save in the case of the
decease of one, the separation by d.
vorce or desertion, of one parent for at
least year.
Frances Belle Powers adoption pap
ers bore only the signature of the
mother, and evidence was introduced
to prove that she had not been desert
ed by her husband one year prior to
the signing of the papers. This meant
that there was strong probability Of
the case being closed by ruling as to
the INSULT ciency of the adoption pap
ers. The second strong point scored
by the defense was in relation to the
will itself The attorneys for the
plaintiffs introduced strong evidence
to prove that John Bicksler at the time
the will of 1907 the one in question,
was written, was of unsound mind. The
plaintiffs laid stress upon the fact that
about the year 1899 the deceased was
the strongest mentally.
