Validity of the
Hanauer Will
Is Sustained

The jury impanneled in the county
court Tuesday morning to hear the
evidence connected with the petition
to probate the last will and testament
of the late Mrs. Elizabeth HaIlauer. to
which two Of the natural heirs of the
deceased. Gottleib Hallauer and JaAob
Hallauer, were contestants, on the
ground that the testatrix was unduly
influenced and was not in possession
of her full mental faculties at the time
the property was conveyed. returned
verdict sustaining the validity of
the will and recommending its admis-
sion to probate Wednesday evening.
The case was given to the jury at $50
O'Clock and an hour and a half later
its findings were placed in the hands
of the court.
Judge Kent L. Eldred, before whom
the case was tried, issued an order
that the will be accepted for probate
and that letters of administration be
granted. Attorneys for the contenst-
ants were given 80 days in which to
file an appeal bond in the event it
was desired to take the case to the dis
trict court for further determination.
In matters of this character it is Gus
tomary to allow only 10 days in which
to file an appeal bond. but in this in
stance further time was permitted for
the reason that Judge Schweigert, one
of the attorneys. lives in Denver and
might find it difficult to discharge his
duty TO his client il limited to the
shorter period An additional cause
for an extension of time was the fact
that the contestants of the will reside
in Custer county and might not be
able to comply with the provisions of
the order If restricted to the Today
limitation. An agreement on the ma.
ter was reached by courtesy of the at
torneys employed in the case.
Some exceptionally interesting facts
and discussions were brought out in
the hearing of this case and many Wis.
