JURYMEN GIVEN
 COURT WARNING
Judge Advises Panel Mem bers Not to Discuss
 Cases With Others

Warning to jurymen not to dis cuss the case with others, not even with members of the panel from which the 12 were selected, was given in superior court by Judge Frank P. McLVyy today as the hear ing of the appeal of Clayton 8. Adams from probate court was be- gun. Adams is seeking to have set aside 8 codicil to the will of the late Cora B. Adams in which a bequest to him was cut from $50,000 to $25,- 900.
 Judge McEvoy's warning to the jurymen was unusual, and he was plain-spoken in telling the jury members not to talk of the case out side. He then warned the other talesmen, who had not been select cd but who are still reporting, not to talk of the case with those who were chosen for duty.
 Judge Dennis J. Slavin in pro- bate court admitted both the will and the codicil. The will, drawf in 1929 gave Adams the sum Of $50,- 900 and bequest of $5,00O to Cliff ford B. Loucks. The codicil, drawn in 1882 lowered Adams legacy to 5000 and increased that of Loucks to $30000.
 It is Adams claim that Undue" influence was exerted on Mrs. Adams to change her will between 1929 and 1892.
