ment inscribed in 1887 because the
1907 win failed to declare null and
void any previous instruments.
LASER and his sister are the grand
nephew and niece Of Charles Fl.
Haines, who died July "a, 1914. On
March 7, 1887. Haines had made q
will leaving all his property to his
mother and her heirs. On Jan. 10,
1907, he made another will directing
that his mother should receive his
property, but that upon her death
two-thirds of it should go to the
Mercy Hospital and one-third to the
board of education of st. Charles, Ill.
When Haines died the 1907 will was
found, but LASER and his sister took
the case to the courts, contending
that their grand aunt, who was
Haines' mother, should have received
a dover estate. While this case was
pending the 1887 will was found. The
Supreme Court now has ruled that
the 1887 will is valid.
LASER and his sister, by the Su-
