ORDINABY’d COURT. J idge Jahn P, Davis Holdsan Ineeatiig Session. Mrs. Joana Montgomery for herself and as next best friend of John Thomas Montgomery plead for annullment of the will of the late Thomas J. Montgomery. The amount involved was little but the case was interesting on account of the evidence. Sixteen years before her marriage to Mr. Montgomery her first husband ran away. Three months after the deatn of Mr. Montgomery a posthumas child was born and on the child’s account its mother asked to hate the will set aside and the residue of it be made ovir to said child, she having already gotten the widow’s usual yearly support. It will be remembered that in the January term of Floyd superior couit she was charged with murdering her husband, I the father of this baby, but was acquitted as it was in evidence that her step-son, a ' child of her first husband who lan away, did the killing and this boy in turn lied and has not been apprehended. Judge Davis passed an order setting aside the will, for in fact there was no contest over it to amount to much. Application was made for an executor to the estate of the late John H. Whir ton. Judge Lavis appointed J. B. 8. Wharton and tue bond was fixed at fifty five hundred dollars. Christmas presents for the children. J, Kuttner, HaPPILY.MIRKIED.
