THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: Fill I AY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1002. 3 MESWILL CASE UP AGAIN I Enprem Court it liked t Do'ay Fmlnj Upo Titling AppuU MOTION PENDING IN THE LOWER COURT Aellaar Mayor I,) man Isaacs Proc lamation ' railing for the Ok tmare of McKlaley Memorial Day. (From a Staff Correspondent LINCOLN, Sept. 11. (Special.) Tae su preme court haa hern asked to con l.-.ui the hearing of the noted Miles will css from the sitting of next week until the Beit regular term. It being urged thit thla ahould be granted because the trial court now baa under consideration a motion for a Bew trial, based upon the grounds cf newiy discovered evidence.' The case Involve the disposition of the vast estate I' ft by Stephen B. , Miles of Kails City. ha d'ed October 30, 1898. It Is asserted that evi dence of the execution of a later will has been found, and until ths motion for a new trial la acted upon the supreme court ahould take no action on the app al. The pending appeal la from a decree ren dered by the district court refusing to tet aside the probate of a will. It presents questions of both law and fact. In asking for the continuance John L. Webster, at torney for the plaintiffs, says to the ccurt: It la my opinion that the hearing of the i penning appeal la unnecessary, ror tne rca ann that when she said race was tried 'he appellants were not able to produce the person who wrote the last will of the de ceased nor any witnesses who could testify to the contents of sttld will from the ac tual seeing or reading thereof, and the failure to i roduce enld evidence wns one of the most potent reasons In the mind of the aistrict judge in rendering me decree from which the endlng appeal was taken. Since the date the appellants discovered the person who wrote the will and there upon filed their petition for a new trial and upon the hearing thereon produced a large amount of additional testimony touching the execution of the will and produced as a witness Paul T. Cadaen, who was thrnun attorncy-at-law In the city of St. Louis, and be further tent Hied to the contents of the said will and that It contained n clause revoking all prior wills. The appeilents also produced the testimony of Mrs. Wll aon, who was the stenographer In the said Oadsen'a office, who testified to the fact of making a copy of said will on the type writer and to the fact that "aid Miles and another person called at the anld office in one. or more occaslona to see the said Gad sen about the aald will.' Appellants also produced Judge Wind of Ht. Louis as a witness, who testified to consultations of Paul T. Oadaen with him regarding the aald will and particularly with reference to the revoking clause therein, which con sultations were had about the time ht the writing of the anld will; that the defend ants have not produced any witnesses who contradict ' any of the above staternenta made by the said Oadsen, the said Wilson and the said Wind; thst the date of the writing of the aald will by the said Oadsen and the execution thereof as stated bv him la confirmed by the testimony of Miller anil Oulnn, who testified In the main case that they witnessed the execution of the said will In the St. James' hotel. In view of this evidence f am persuaded that the district court will grant a new trial and vacate the decree. Mayor lasses Memorial Proclamation.

PEOPLE OF MARS ARE SMART Chicaa-e Profeasor Saya They Are Saperlor la Intelligence to In haMtaats of Earth CHICAGO, Sept. 11. That a people supe rior in Intelligence to those of the earth Inhabit the planet of Mars is a conclusion that will be set forth by Prof. O. W. Hough, head of the department of astronomy of the Northwestern university, In a report which he Is compiling of his summer's observa tions from the Dearborn observatory- He aaearts this la a probability based on recent discoveries and adds thst, of course. It can never be established positively. The conclusion Includes tbe acceptance of the theory of evolution and the statements of leading astronomers that climatic con ditions of Mars are tbe same .as of the earth. Ths possibility of Venus and Mer cury being inhabited Is sdmltted, because they have solidified, and ths Intense heat resulting from their proximity to the sun may have been overcome by a deeper cover ing of atmosphere. None of the other planets, the professor said, could contain animal life. DEATH RECORD. George C. Reynolds. George C.
