RULING GIVEN IN
 ATCHISON ACTION
Children Given Permission to File Substituted Req.
 sons for Appeal

Following c hearing before Super- for Court Judge John II. King yes- terday afternoon, the Atchison cl1il. dren, who recently renewed their efforts to break their fathers viii, were given permission to file sub- stituted reasons for their appeal from probate.
 Reference is made in the substi- tuted reasons to the health of their father, the late Lawrence Atchison of Middlebury, who hequeathed only Si00 to each of his three children from his S29,0oo estate. The appeal hos been taken only by two of the children, Margaret and Alden.
 It was disclosed during the court hearing that the factor of undue ifi- fluenee would not Do ail issue fin tho new trial, and that only the is. sue of testamentary capacity would remain. During the previous jury hearing the children claimed their father was unduly influenced by his brother, to whom he left the bulk of the estate.
 Attorney John 1T Cassidy. counsel for Lawrence Lewis. exeeutor of the Atchison will, stated that if the sub. stituted reasons were accepted he would have to make c motion "tc strike" and that would mean delay in starting the trial, which had been set for oct. 24.

 Judge King indicated that if there were further motions in the case he would come to Waterbury next Friday to hear them.
 A motion made by the estate foi filing c sufncient bond to cover eostl was continued.

McEvoy. how. ever, set aside the verdict, and tho State Supreme Court of Errors sus- tained his action, thereby bringing the case back for c new trial.
 Attorneys Harry Albert and Miehs ael V. Blansfeld. counsel for the children, presented the motion for the substituted reasons for appeal.
