His will named Mr. SMITH, John Bi2e-
low, and Andrew II. Green as trustees.
The two latter are dead. and their
places are filled by Mr.. Randolph and
ex-Justice MacLean. The plaintiff
complains that the trustees have re-
fused to cooperate. and that Messrs.
Smith and MacLean have often dis, /
played an incompaubility that has
worked to her disadvantage.
She also complains that the trustees
are too old to properly attend to the
trust. She says Mr.. Smith 10 about
seventy-five years old. Mr.. Randolph
seventy-seven,e and Mr.. MacLean
seventy mine. In the fair of 1919 Mrs
Sabin Joined with others in q legal
effort to have Mr.. Smith removed. but
failed. He was then the only SUR
uving trustee. and the reasons given
for the action were that his manage
ment OF the trust was wastefui ana
that he had refused to consent to the
erection OF Tilden monument that was
authorized under the will
In his reply to the suit Mr.. Smith
said that under an agreement entered
into in 1892 the plaintiffs got s454.oo0
EACH as result OF their contest to
break the win. and said that he
thought they wanted to profit still
further by the additional litigation.

OVERRULES MOTION FOR ANOTHER TRIAL Judge Heflin Denies Motion of Counsel for John
 Wilson

Motion for new trial was overruled yesterday by Judge H. P. Heflin in the case of John Wilson. who was recently convicted and given a sentence of 65 years in the penitentiary by jury in the crim- inal court for the murder of Hugh Guth- rie. B. M. Allen of counsel for the de- fendant made lengthy argument to the court and contended that the verdict was not in accordance with the law and the evidence. He argued that in the absence of malice or motive the sentence was entirely out of reason and should be set aside. White Gibson and Assistant Solc- itor Walter Brewer resisted the motion and insisted that the defendant had had a fair and impartial trial and that no sound reason had been advanced why the verdict of the jury should be set aside.
 At the conclusion of the arguments, which lasted until nearly o'clock, Judge Hefiin denied the motion for new trial. It is understood an appeal to the su- preme court will be taken.
