the Jointly signed letter, "you took
occasion IN your charge to praise the

the patience and attention with which

praise because we thought it was de-

we did give our best intelligence in
weighing the testimony, and we hon

structlons and to give verdict which
was falr and unbiased as we'll as in
accordance with the law and the facts.
Surprised at Charges
I'VE arc therefore surprised, in
reading your opinion, at being told
that we were easily influenced bv
sympathy or prejudice and 'materially
affected by eXtraneous arguments.'
You also say in effect that not only
we, but juries in general, are unfit to
sit in will cases, it being extremely
difficult for jurors to comprehend and
apply the tests laid down for the de-
termination of probate issues.
"Whether the right of trial by jury
should extend to will cases is not an
issue which we want to discuss with
your honor. We happen to believe in
trial by jury. But this letter is to
say that, in our opinion, the evidence
produced in this case and the law as
laid down by yourself, permitted no
verdict except the verdict of ncapac-

An error like this, amounting to mil
IONS, would never have been made had
the testator been possessed of his nor
