Juanita Inez Weekley and Ethel
Morehead, is the title of a suit filed
| to set aside the purported will of

Elizabeth Vaughn died March "a,
| 1885, leaving Anna C. Bishop and
Margaret F. Henery, and all said
defendants excepting Leonard H.
Mott, her only heirs at law. Plain
| tiffs state that on April 26. 1885, a
| purported will of Elizabeth Vaughn
was filed, bearing date of Oct. II,
! 1884, which was admitted to pro-
| bate, and that letters testamentary
were issued to defendant Leonard
| H. Mott as sole executor of said
will, and he is acting as such ex-
/ ecutor. Plaintiffs say the defend
/ ant Leonard H. Mott is sole legatee
| and devisee of purported will; and
| plaintiffs say purpOrted will is not
the last will of Elizabeth Vaughn,
deceased; that at the time of MAX
ing said paper writing she was not
, of sound and disposing mind and
memory and was under undue in
f1uence and restraint in SO attempt
ing to make the same; that said
Elizabeth Vaughn was rs years OF
age at time Of making purported
will, and that her mind had become
weakened by infirmities of age, so
that she was easily Influenced.
Plaintiffs aver that Leonard III.
Mott, we'll knowing the mental ca
