Pittock Will Held
AVaIid Document
bySupremeCo Courf

The will of the late Henry L
Pittock, founder and until hi
death on January 28, 1919, pub
Usher of the 0regonian, is a valid
document declaratory of his dispo-
sition Of his estate" according tc
an opinion handed down by the
supreme court this morning af-
firming the decree of Judge Taz-
well of the Multnomah county cir
cult court. The opinion was
written by Chief Justice Burnett,
and is concurred in by all of the
other members of the court.
The proceeding to set aside the
will was instituted by Mrs. Caro-
line P. Leadbetter, one of Mr..
Pittock's daughters. In her con-
test Mrs. .Leadbetter contended that
the will was the product and result
of undue influence exercised over
the testator by the men he ap-
pointed as trustees, so that in fact
it was their will instead of Mr..
Pittocks. Disposing of this con-
tention as without any support in
the evidence the opinion declares
that "it is apparent that he (Pit-
tock) had very much more influ-
ence over the defendants than they
had over him and that it was
theirs to obey and not to influence

Tomlinson objected to tele-
