give as he chooses. He said there
was no reasonable basis in the evil
dence to show that the testator was
incompetent to make q will or that
he was subject to decisions and
Authorizations as claimed by the
appellants witnesses.
The jurist pointed out that IS
witnesses we're called by the pro-
ponent of the will and all testified
that Mr.. Atchison was of sound
mind and memory. Only three wit
nesses were called by the appellants
and only the divorced wife OF the
testator testified the father was sub
ject to delusion, he added.
In speaking of the witnesses for
the executor, the judge states In his
memorandum of decision, THE at
torney who drew the testators last
will, as we'll as two prior wills; the
witnesses to this last will; his aSso-
ciates in his work; the officials of
the bank and trust company in
which he deposited money and car
ried a checking account; those with
whom he carried on business deal
ings and every witness except his
former wife, all testified, unequiv-
ocally, that the testator was of
sound and disposing mind and
memory"
Judge McEvoy points out that the
jury was instructed that a person
is entitled to his likes and dislikes
and they should not be judged in
returning verdict. He states, THE
answer of the jury to the two inter-
rogatories propounded to them as
to the competency Of the testator to
make will and as to the exertion
Of undue influence upon him shows
that the jury disregarded the in
structions of the court and that
they were carried, away by q SYM
pathy and prejudice in favor Of
the two minor children Of the tesla
tor.
In one part of the memorandum
Judge McEvoy refers to testimony
that the father showed no interest
In the children and in numerous
occasions before his death told his
former wife he would give them no
more than the court ordered when
his wife obtained her divorce.
The divorce was granted on q
cross examination In which cruelty
was charged. The father was order
ed to pay $40 weekly to support the
children.
Claims were made by the appel
lantS that their father was preju-
diced against their mother and con-
sequently did not favor them in
his will. 1t was also alleged that
his brother and his family influ-
enced him in making the will.
The action was one OF the first
returned in the local court in which
Q jury ruled against q will. Attorney
John H. Cassidy represented the ex-
ecutor Of the estate in the lengthy
hearing.
Because of the numerous techni-
calitieS involved In filing an appeal
to the Hartford court 1t Is believed
1t will take many months before
the appeal can be perfected and a
hearing assigned.
