HEIR OF HUTCH|NS
ASKS A NEW TRIAL
Death Of Justice Anderson May
Reopen the Famous Will
Case.

o. Because the late Justice Thomas II.
Anderson was unable to sign the bill OF
exceptions In the 81, OOO, 900 Silson Hutch
ms will case. carrying the litigation TO
the District Court of Appeals. attorneys
for Walter Hutchins. tte eldest son.
has petitioned the probate court for a
new trial of the contested will.
Lee Hutchins, youngest son of the late
millionaire newspaper publisher and rail-
road builder, who was given 20 per cent
the will. and jury sitting before JUS
tice Anderson upheld the sons conten-
ions and declared the will invalid. The
case was the longest ever tried in the
District probate court, consuming five
months.
Attorneys for Walter Hutchins, Mrs.
Hutchins, the widow, and Miss Mildred
Roders, a granddaughter of the de-
ceased, to whom the bulk of the estate
was left under the will OF 1910. gave
notice Of appealing from the lower
court. A bili OF exceptions on which
the case was to be presented to the
Appellate Court, has been a matter of
controversy between opposing counsel
for some time.
Filed Amended Bill.
Two months ago an amended bill of
exceptions was filed by Attorneys Hen
ry e. Davis and Charles II. Merillat,
counsel for Walter Hutchins. Justice
Anderson was absent during the sum
mer recess and no opportunity prevailed
TO present the document to him for APP
proval. The trial justice died Septem-
Der 80 In Denver without having pass
ed on the merits OF the bill OF keep
tions.
The petition for a new trial contends
that the inability of Justice Anderson
to settle and sign the bill OF exceptions
raises the question OF the permanency
OF the verdict of the lower court. At
torneys Davis and Merillat declare that
section of the law rule 4S provides that
II the court Is unable to settle the bill
OF exceptions in any case, a new trial
shall be granted.
Motion To Be Argued.
Notice Is given Attorneys William
G., Johnson, Myer Cohen, and Frank
j. Hogan, counsel for Lee ,Hutchins,
who contested the will that the mo-
ton for a new trial will be argued
before Justice Mccoy next Friday.
Under the will held invalid. Lee
