Contention of Young Wife
in will Fightr
Several depositions to show that
the late E, M. Eckman was sane
when he signed a will leaving his
"jh-etty young bride his entire estate
were read in county court yesterday
moniinir ". connection with his step
daughters' effort to break the will.
Elizabeth B. Norman, a trained
nurse, gave minute details regarding
"how the will had been drawn in
Eckmau's summer tottage in Minne
sota while Eckman laid on his
deathbed,
"Was Quite Normal."
''I was invited to spend a time with
Mr. Eckman and his wife, who had
been a close friend of mine," said
Miss Norman in her deposition.
Mr. Eckman was quite normal dur
ing my stay and on the night the will
was drawn he declared he wanted a
will so written that his entire world
ly possessions should go to his wife.
"He mentioned two of his dia
monds and insurance policies while
conversing about his estate. He
said his oldest daughter had married
a worthless fellow and complained
his daughters failed to mrtice him.
"Because of this he said he in
tended to cut his daughters off."
Mrs. Eckman, who was formerly
Miss Gwendola Petty, a pretty nurse,
listened attentively to the deposition
; her nurse friend, and occasionally
nodded as if to give1 assent to its
truth. ,
"Mrs. Eckman wanted to wait until
morning before drawing up the
will," Misa Norman said,1 "but Mr.
i Eckman insisted it be drawn up
that, night.
"There was a little table a few
feet fr m his bed on the porch of,
his summer cottage. The will was
written, then rewritten. I was the
first to sign it." -
Will Is Drawn.
; Mrs. Enimet' Hannan and Mrs. F.
C. Henry, Omaha stepdaughters of
Eckman, are contesting the will on
the ground their father was suffering
from paresis, a form of insanity, at
the time the will was drawn.
" It is estimated the Eckman estate
wilt total from $100,000 to $150,000.
George Drew, a butcher at Worth
Jngton. Minn., in a deposition read
yesterday, said Eckman had sold
him an order of goods and that he
seemed perfectly sane. Eckman
"might have been drinking a little,"
lie said. . i I
! Eckman was president of the Eck
man Chemical company here. He
first met his nurse-bride when she
cared for him at his apartment dur
ing an illness.
A courtship ensued, ending when

was sentenced to 15 years in , the

Judge Troup for attacking Grace
Gisliuii, 15.
Porter had "picked up" the Gishan
girl in his automobile and taken her
to a deserted spot near the Forest
Lawn cemetery, according to evi
dence introduced in his recent trial
in district court.
"I could give you from one to 20
years," observed Judge Troup, "but
I'll give you a flat sentence of 15
years to make sure you'll not be
released."

One Minute
Store Talk
"Let the buyer beware,"
used to be the policy in
clothes selling. This store
changed all that in Oma
ha to "let the buyer be
protected." But from
some of..' the so-called
sales going on, it seems
that some stores forget
that people have eyes of
their own and a keen
sense of values. "No
wonder your store is
crowded with eager cloth
ing buyers," said an ob-t
serving customer. I
