died. At the same time of the signings
of the will she made a contract with;
the Cage's allowing them the use of
the money and her estate for live
years Bruce Cage waa made executor
without bond.
Mrs. J. H. Gage and Mrs. Judge Lew
Young are foster daughters of Mrs^
Crjpw never having been legally adopt-
ed by her, she having no children of,
bf own. The near approach of death'
and the unexpected large benefactions
tb the college made.the impression that
ahe was not in the full vigor of her
mind at the time the will was signed.;
Her legal heirs consisting of brothers,
sisters and their decendents and Judge
and JJta- Young decided that the will
did not express her desires. So a con-
of the Stephenvllle bar, lawyers were
hero from Dallas. Cleburne and Atlan-
ta, Texas. The attack on the will Was
led by Judge H. H. O'Neal of Atlanta,
Texas. - , .
Much conflicting evidence Was pro-'
duced. Some Interesting items wars
that the firm of Cage A Crow lost two
hundred and forty-seven thousand, dol-
lars on the railroad from Stephenvllle
to Hamilton, ft will be remembered
that they built that road. Also Mr.
Bruce Cage testified In open court that
he lost one hundred and eighty thou-
sand dollars dealing In cotton.
Most of the evidence shows that Mrs.
Crow was entirely sane when she ntade
the will and it will doubtless be ujp
held, in the county court, though It .Is
probable that it will be carried
ther. The evidence waa closed at ni
yesterday
