ATTORNEYS IN WILL CASE GETS BIG FEE

$82,946.76 Allotted to Attorneys in the Famous Caldwell Case Tried in Benton Co. * Benton Review: The Caldwell will case took another step forward on Monday when the executors filed a petition to borrow money for the purpost of paying the lawyer fees in the first trial, which the court granted, limiting them to SBO,OOO and not -to exceed 7 per cent interest. The allowances made were as follows: Stewart, Hammond, Simms $34,550.00 Fraiser & Isham .23,141.88 Dr. Albert Sterns 5,000.00 Ryan, Ruckelhaus & Ryan.. 7,500.00 Lemuel Shipman 1,000.00 Grace D. Follensbee ... 1,000.00 J. L. Dinwidde 1,000.00 Krumler & Gaylord 250.00 Chas. M. Snyder 500.00 So far as the original case is concerned, the parties are now back where they started from, with the opinion of the supreme court that in a six weeks’ trial there was no evidence produced to justify the verdict given by the local jury that the will should be broken, in fact, there has never been anything but a technical attempt to prove her insane for the purpose of justifying the breaking of the will as a matter of public policy and community sentiment, so far as we have been able to learn the sentiment is not so strong now as at the time of the former trial.
