Why those thousand dollar bequests to schools, churches and hos pitals? The reason is too nMUc.is to bear mention." Lets Her l itllier Sleep Alone. The failure or the Mi-ses Koss to request the removal of the remains of their father, alons; with those ot their two brothers and mothir. to the cemetery plot In the Hanks church wiu almost a sacrile.ee, a desecration, arttued Mr. Stack. "Kloiiiently, he jdetured the old father slot piiiK alone. This omission, he rlaiund, showed senile decay. She willed her dead brother's watch to Bob Koss because "he wanted him to have it," he said, but Dennis Ross had been dead all these years. Why did she wait so Ions to cany out her dead brother's wish? For more than twenty years she paid no heed to his dving request. Maguie nave her watch to Mittie Bell; Sallie willed her's to Mrs. Hudson instead of to Mrs. Coan or .Mrs. Helms, who were certainly more deserving of her re membrance. To show her lack Ity. Mr. Stack said: ldence that Maggie knew how much land she owned; she was even unable to return her property for taxation, and she considered herself pouter than a church mouse although she had thousands of dollars in the bank. When the preachers would come to her seeking a loan she would order them to go to Mr. Hudson and tell Mm to let them have the mon.-y "if she hart it in the batik." One preach er wanted $jOi, and she sent him to il, Hudson with the fame story al though she had several times that amount In the hottre. She wasn't a liar.

Can sier of Charlotte, considered by many to be the leading trial law r in North Carolina, made one of the best ad dress s to n Jury ever heard In the I nion county court house. He con cluded the aicumcnt for the pro pounded, court adjourning at the end of his address about 7 o'clock Knday evening. The Charlotte attorney first dls- of business abll- cussed the Issue, "was the will exe "There's no ex- cut d according to the formalities re quired bv law?" He arginsn mat u war. "The late Mr. H. H. Adams, who drew the will, was one of the leading lawyers of the state," lie said, and a man of the highest character who xvould not ftoop to draw a will for a person of weak mind at the so licitation of another. But assuming fur argument's sake that H. 11. Ad ams v as a corrupt man, as attornejs for the caveators infer, a tool of K. A. Hudson, he xvould have been doub ly sure that the will was properly ex ecuted so that it would stand in the court:'. "Sutton and Ezztll, who declared they didn't ne Miss Mag sign the let Hudson pay her preacher.

I prefer to wear the mantle of charity and attribute that will to others of stronger minds; and In her feeble old age she was a fit subject lor the in sidious efforts of those parties." The will, exclaimed the attorney, wag the product of the minds of Mr. Hudson and the two negroes, Mittie Dell Houston and Bob Koss. Her inability to make change, he continued, further strengthened the of mind in own Sutton anu r.iz-ii: i uuui miu, I'm merely stating facta to you." With this Mr. Cansier dismissed Ihe first ls?ue Involved in the case, announcing that he would discues.4 the other two Issues as one. Cae Kesult of Jealousy. "I am going to undertake to show you," he continued, "that this case Is the result of the Jealousy or three women, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Moore and Harriet Grier, who wers piqued be cause they were not remembered In the will after they had spent so many years in courting the good graces of the deceased Koss women. Taku their evidence out of the case and you ririimflnt an In her lac k of business ! have nothing but a shell left."

She couldn't understand that 18 cents was mere than 15. "They say," Mr. Stack argued, "that social equality Is a matter of taste. It's not. Webster says taste ia born of Intelligence, so you must conclude, taking Into consideration b-r. association with those neproes, that she was weak-minded. She ate at the same table with negroes. She let Mittie Bell wear her silk dress tt eamp meeting: the negro gi-l even wore her underwear.

After each telling shot he would turn around to the attorney rrjr the rcvpators v. ith a ollte, but nsineating buw, and remark: "More hops and tomato sauce!"

Adams of participating in a fraudulent conspiracy to influence the Koss women to leave their money to those negroes before you break this will. Bob Koss. Mittie Ih Houston. Sallie Koss and Mr. II. A. Hudson were the persons using undue influence upon Maggie Koss, attor neys for th.' caveators say. They did n't date come into court and charge Adams w ith participating in the con spiracy, contenting themselves with the imputation that he was a tool of K. A. Husoii and the negroes." Why Hodxxliie Didn't Draw WiU. "Why didn't they secure R. B. K d wine, their attorney, to draw the xvill? ' Answering his question, the Charlotte man said: "It Isn't consid ered good ethics for a lawyer to draw a will in which he is executor." "If this flimsy, half-hatched con tentions of the caveators are true," he continued, "you might as well blow up your court house, destroy your churches, tear up your Bibles and relax Into barbarism." Where are those belqved cousins twice and third removed," Mr. Cans ier said. "George Koss. one of the two caveators who had the courage to com' into courtand attack the sanitj , of Maggie stullified his testimony when he admitted that he accepted a deed to some land Trout her heliev-' lug her lo be feeble-minded. ! Whv didn't we produce Mittie Bell Houston? Whal. bring that; corn-field negro up here to contradict a white woman. She would have i been shot to pieces by Mr. Parker's astute cross-examination.

Says Mr. Moore Tried to " amp" Ihe Jury. i call up Sallie Koss, dead and gone.

Maggie Koss made that will.

Wouldn't you be lieve Dr. Nisbet, fine old gentleman that he Is, In preference to Mrs. ! Moore, w ho according to one of the boys, tried to vamp' the Jury while she was on the stand! I "Take the testimony of Dr. Mcll waine. He has no interest in this twill except that natural to one of philanthropic Impulses. He says it got out in tire community that Maggie and Sallie had made a will, and he went to Macgie and asked her If she had left a house to the church? She replied affirmatively, i "Poor, craiy old fool! She hadn't no memory for facts, figures or faces, yet w hen Dr. Mcllwaine mentioned , the subject to her some years later she recalled their previous conversa- tion.

Isn't it natural that Maggie and Sallie Koss should make some repa ration for taking Bob Ross out of th" protesting arms of his mother when lie was a mere lad? Gentlemen, take Mrs. Tlnah Coan'a view of this case. "If it was my cousin's pleasure,' she said, for her property to go to Bob and Mittie ; I have no protest. I loved my cousin and she loved me.'
