DECREE RENDERED
KERR-SL0AN CASE
Judge Moore DEGREES in Favor of
John and Frank Kerr, Declaring
the Will of Mrs. Sloan Void and a
Fraud on Their Rights.

Judge Ernest More has rendered
a decree in the case of John and
Frank Kerr against A Selden Kenne.
dy, in the Kerr-Sloan will contest, in
which the Kerrs win a sweeping
victory.
The contest is fresh in the minds
of the public. Mrs. Sloan died at
her home at Cedar Springs in the
spring of last year. She left her
last will and testament of force by
which she devised and bequeathed
her property largely to the A. R. P.
Church, and to benevolent purposes,
mostly to the missions in India and
Mexico. Soon after her death the
Kerr boys, who are her nephews, and
who had been raised by her from
tender years, their parents having
died in Ark;. filed a suit to de.
clare the will void, and a fraud as
against them, alleging that Mrs.
Sloan many years ago entered into
an agreement with them by which
she agreed to will them all her pro.
perty in consideration of their living
with, and caring for, and support.
ing her during the remaining years
of her life.
The Kerrs claimed that a will re-.
citing this agreement was made, and
that it had been destroyed, and that
the new will violated the agreement.
They relied for proof upon the testi-
mony of Judge j. Fuller Lyon, of
Columbia, who testified at length
and in great detail as to the agree
ment, the same having been read
over to him by Mrs. Sloan in order
that. he might determine it's legality
as will. The decree of Judge
Moore. is based almost solely on the
testimony of Judge Lyon. He dis
regards all the other testimony, say
ing that it does not in any way show
that the alleged agreement was not
made, nor show an abandonment of
the rights of the parties under the
alleged agreement.
The case involves an estate worth
in the neighborhood of fifty thous-
and dollars. The Kerrs took about
fifteen thousand dollars under the
will, so that the decree if it stands,
will mean an additional thirty-fve
thousand dollars to them.
The case will no doubt be appeal
ed to the Supreme Court where a
final decision will be rendered.
The Kerrs are represented in the
litigation by Messrs. Graydon &
Graydon, of Abbeville, and Cothran,
Dean & Cothran, of Greenville; the
defendants, by Messrs Grier, 1al!s
G. Nicholson, of Greenwood, ;.nG
VIM. P. Greene, of Abbeville.

articles that relatives attempt to
send to the prisoners is gradually
lessening. How little some persons
fear the censorship is indicated by
the fact that occasionally revolvers
and similar articles are discovered
and confscated.

off, communicated with the depart
