The District Court of Appeals to-
day, in an opinion by Justice Van
Orsdel, directed retrial Of the con-
test over the validity of the will OF

thropist, who died in April. 1912. The
former trial occupied the attention OF
a court and jury for five months, q
verdict breaking the will being re-
turned by the jury in April, 1915. The
estate is valued at $4,000000.
In a former opinion the appellate
court had criticised Lee Hutchins
younger son, who filed the caveat, and
had held him barred from attacking
the competency of his father when
the record showed that he had at the
same time received money and taken
title to property from his parent.
ExOnerates Lee Hutchins.
The opinion today exonerates Lee
.Hutchins, and states that the record

iSs, the older son, concurred.
The lower court, taking the former
view Of tn Court of Appeals, proceed
ed to dismiss the cayeat of Lee
Hutchins and admitted the will to
probate.
One Issue Involved
In reversing this action Justice Van
Orsdel points out that the appellate
tribunal never intended to foreclose
the caveator entirely, but only on the
one issue Of his fathers mental in
competency.

now set forth in the record entities

on that point as well as on the issues
of undue influence and misrepresenta-
ton, which were decided in favor of
the proponents OF the will at the
former trial. $50
