Thomas D. Delaperriere, the doctors son
by his divorced wife, whom he had nev
er seen. Dr. Delaperriere married Miss
Ella Sanders. A number of years ago
she sued for divorce and it was granted.
Soon after the seperation the. divorced
wife gave birth to a son. It is this son
who now comes in and asks thatthe will
be set aside-on the grounds that it had
been materially changed by the direct

have appealed from the decision of the
ordinary and the case will go to the
Superior court.
