THANKSGIVING MAKES ME SO NERVOUS
King of the Barnyard Interviewed
Litigants Agree After
Dav Of Evidence And
Argument
The Hawkins will case came to an
unexpected end in Superior court
shortly after 10 o’clock this morn-
iiljf, after the plaintiffs had closed
and the defense had moved a non
suit, when a conference of counsel
and principals, held on advice of
Judge Graham, presiding, resulted in
an agreement. When the details of
the agreement had been reported to
Judge Graham and approved by him
he directed the Jury to write a ver
dict in accordance therewith, which
was done.
Under the terms of the agreement
the defendant, Mrs. E. A. Hawkins,
to who mthe late Col. E. A. Hawkins
bequeathed the family home place on
East Church street, retains a one-
third interest in the property and
the plantiffs, tho children or Col.
Hawkins by his first marriage, are
given a two-thirds interest. All in
come from the property collected
by Mrs. Hawkins is to be returned
by her.
The case has been on trial since
yesterday afternoon until 7 p. m.
Numerous witnesses for the plaintiffs
had been heard and a dozen points of
law argued at length by the attor
neys. When court recessed last
nipht the lawyers were in the midst
of arguments on the defense’s mo
tion for non-suit. This morning
these were resumed. It was then
that Judge Graham called attention
to both sides to the fact that it would
be best for the parties themselves
to settle a family suit of this kind,
and that if decided by a jury, the
decision would doubtless be appealed
and litigation continue for years. A
conference followed and the agree
ment soon resulted.
The Hawkins children in bringing
suit demanded restoration of 11-
12ths of the property, which they
claimed belonged to their mother and
was held by their father In trust and,
therefore could not be conveyed by
him legally. This was disputed by
the defense.
