three days she was asxlstlng her brother,
Senator Shirley Olltlland, conduct the de
fense in tho suit Instituted by the heirs
to break the will of Mrs. Elisabeth Mar
tin, Involving $40,000. In addition to the
sisterly pride In her brother'! success
Mn. Lucas, ai one of the original orga
niser! of the Woman's Christian associa
tion, founder of the Jennie Edmundson
Memorial hospital, was Interested In the
cane on account of a bequest of $2,000 to
the hospital. She returned bearing the
tidings of complete victory. The will also
contained a bequest of $2,000 to the Meth
odist hospital In Omaha.
The case was tried In the district court
before O. L). Wheeler and was a Jury
trial. It required three days. Tho jury
brought in a verdict between 12 and 1
o'clock yesterday morning.
Hospital Remembered.
Mrs. Martin waa a wealthy widow who
had lived In Mllla county, near Glenwood,
alnoe 1852. Mrs. Lucas had been known
and loved by the old lady from girlhood,
and It waa In recognition of this confi
dence that the bequest waa made to the
hospital, for Mra. Martin had never seen
It or known anything of ita work. Mra.
Martin's will was made March 7. 1910,
shortly before her death, and was the re
vision of a former will. Mrs. Martin was
in her elghty-flrat year at the time the
will was made, and this fact, coupled with
the many charitable boquesta, waa aelzed
upon by the collateral helra aa the pre
text for breaking the will, on the ground
that she was of unsound mind at the
time. The will gave $10,000 to the Young
Men's Christian association at Glenwood
for direct use, and $6,000 which was to
yield an Income for the care of one of
Mrs. Martin's dependents, going to the
association at the death of the benefl
clsry. Helra Seek to Break It.
The distant heirs, alt of whom had
been remembered, employed Lew T. Gen
ung and former Attorney General John
T. Stone to bring the ault to contest the
will, upon the agreement to give them
$0 per cent of the amount recovered.
which would have been the entire $40,000.
Strong testimony waa adduced to show
the soundness of the mind of the aged
woman. Xr. Jamea Donelon, who had
been ber physician since 1883, testified
that he had seen her almost dally until
her death, and that there waa not a
mement when her mind was not clear and
strong. Other wltneaaes wer equally
competent and certain. The bulk of the
property was devoted to charitable pur
poses. In addition to the other larger
bequests were these:
Olenwood publlo library, earnings to be
used for purchase of books, $6,uuo.
Martin's cnapei, I'latlevllle, M.ooo.
