The first case to come up for actual
trial was that of Mabel n. Bunker of
Arson, by guardian appellant from de-
cree Of Judge of Probate. The will
in controversy was that of the late
Ellen c. Taylor of Lexington, widow
Of BENZ. Taylor. BY the terms of the
will she left to her granddaughter
Mabel Bunker SIS, hequeathing the rest
of her estate to her son and daughter,
Elmer Taylor now deceased and her
daughter, Mrs. Bertha Churchill with
whom she lived. The will was made
| May %, 1914 and Mrs. Taylor died Oct.
| 20, 1914. After her death Mrs. Church
| i'll petitioned for the probation of her
mothers will and at the May term in
1915. the Judge Of Probate allowed the
will. An appeal was taken and the
case in question arose. 1t was con-
tended that Mrs. Taylor was not well
and was not of a sound mind and was
unduly influenced to make her Will in
their favor. Bernard Gibbs in ap-
pearing for the defense, Miss Bunker
being represented by Judge Simmons.
claimed that the woman was in her
right mind when the document was
made and the testimony of the wit
nesses the man who drew UP the will.
DR. Pratt of North New Portland. a
physician, the nurses, Mrs Leola
Webb and Mrs. Nellie Peterson would
indicate that this was a fact. Mrs.
Elmer Taylor daughter-in law and
Mrs. Churchill also appeared in their
own behalf. 1t was maintained further
that Miss Bunker, who was the daugh-
ter of the dead daughter of Mrs. Ellen
Taylor, had spent a number of years
with her grandparents, after the death
of her mother. that they had paid bills
for sickness and that she had inherited
her share Of her grandfather's estate
who died without leaving will.
