Goldsboro, Auk- *•—An interesting
i case was bold today before Clerk of

late Forest Yelverton, of Fromont,
I who died several months ago and left
a largo estate, the majority of which
was willed to hta widow. Shortly af
,t*r hie death, suit was brought In
[Superior court here In which relatives
.asked that the property be placed un
[dtr the management of a guardian
on lha grounds that Mrs. Yelverton
was not mentally capable of taking
'charge of the estate.
A Jury decided against Mr*. Yetvor
ton and the estate was placed under
the guardianship of her son, W. E.
Yelverton, a Washington newspaper
correspondent, who has tendered tils
mug nation as guardian, but wanted;
another appointed.
Close to a hundred Witnesses were
examined al the hearing today, being
about equally divided in regard to the
sanity of Mrs. Yelverton, a frail lit-'
tic woman about 60 years, who com
pletely broke down when she took the
witness .tend. i
A few minutes after the jury re-,
