ENTRY ATTACKED
Writ of Mandamus Directed Against
Judge Ben d. Farrar Asked
by Bertha Andrews.

A writ of mandamus directed
against Probate Judge Ben D. Far
rar in connection with proceedings
in the matter of the estate Of Frank
A. Andrews is asked in petition
filed in circuit court today by
Bertha Kleyla Andrews. s-
The petition represented that
Judge Farrar wrongfully. and lille
gally/made an entry on his docket
andAthe circuit court is asked to
order him to expunge this from
the record.
The matter develops out of a
petition flied by the plaintiff in Au-
gust in the probate court asking
that letters testamentary granted
Alberta E. BetZ as executrix of the
estate of Frank A. Andrews be re-
voked. Subsequently the petition
was heard and denied orally by
Judge Farrar. This was on Sept
n and it is represented Judge Far
rar was asked to defer entering the
decision on his docket pending the
filing of a new petition by the plain
tiff to dismiss the petition for revo-
cation. 1t is charged that on Oct
2 Judge Farrar entered his original
decision as OF date Sept. 81, and
that he was without authority te
do this.
