OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, {MILES WILL CASE UP AGAIN Bupreme Oourt ie Asked te Delay Paming Upen Pending Appeal. ' MOTION PENDING IN THE LOWER COURT | [ — | Aeting Mayor ama o & for the servunce of MeKinley Memorinl Day. oh- (From a Staft Correspondent ) LINCOLN, Sept. 11.—(Special.)—Tae su- preme court has been asked to con'iiu: | the hearing of the noted Miles will cz from the sitting of next week until the mext regular term, it being urged that this should be granted because the triai court now has under consideration'a motion for a new trial, based upon the grounds cf newiy discovered evidence, The case Involves the disposition of the vast estate left by Btephen B. Miles of Falls City, who dled October 30, 1898. It is asserted that evi- dence of the execution of a later will has been found, and until the motion for a new trial is acted upom the supreme court should take no action on the app-al. The pending appeal Is from a decree ren- dered by the district court refusing to cet aside the probate of a wiil. It presents questions of both law and fact. In asking for the continuance John L. Webster, at- torney for the plaintifts, says to the court It is my opinion that the hearing of the pending appeal Is unnecessary, for the rea- #on that when the sald case was tried ‘he appellants were not able to produce the person who wrote the last will of the de- ceased nor any witnesses who could testify to the contents of sald will from the ac- | tual seeing or reading thereof, and ihe lure to produce said evidence was one of most potent reasons in the mind of the trict judge in rendering ihe decree from | a which the pending appeal was taken. Bince the date the appellants discovered the person who wrote the will and there- upon filed their petition for a new trial and upon the hearmr thereon produced a large amount of additional testimony touching the execution uf the will and produced as A ness Paul T. Gadsen, who was then an orne aw In the city of St. Louls, and be furiher testified o the contents of the eald will and that it contained n clause revoking all prior wills. The appeilents 0 produced the testimony of Mre, W n Gadsen's office, who testified to the fact of making a_copy of said will on the typa- writer and to the fact that said Miles and angther person called at the sald office (n one_or more occasions to see the sald Gad- sen about the sald will produced Judge Wind of Si. Louls as a Witness, who testified to consuitations of Paul T. Gadsen with him regarding the sald will ‘and particularly with reference to the revoking clause therein, which cone gultations were had abaut the' time b ihe writing of the that the defend- ants' Have 1ot PFOGUCEA Any witnesses who contradict ‘any’ of the ‘above statements made by the sald Gadsen, the eald Wlilson and the sald Wind; that' the date of the writing of the sald will by the sald Gadsen and the ex: cll"flh thereof as stated by him is confirmed by the testimony of Miiler and uinn, who testified (n the main case that wilnym' the %l'lfi'llm"nh"ml n view of this evidence T am persuaded that the district court will grant a new trial and vacate the decree.

PEOPLE OF MARS ARE SMART Chicago Professor Says They Are Superior in Intelligence to hahitants of Earthy CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—That a people supe- rior in Intelligencé to those of the earth inhabit the planet of Mars is a conclusion that will be set forth by Prof. G. W. Hough, head of the department of astfonomy of the Northwestern university, in a report which he is compiling of his summer's observa- the from the Dearborn observatory. He srts this is a probab!lity based on recent discoveries and adds that, of course, it can never be established positively. The conclusion includes the acceptance of the theory of evolution and the statements of leading astronomers that climatic con- ditions of Mars are the same as of the earth. The possibility of Venus and M cury being Inhabited is admitted, because they have solidified, and the intense heat resulting from their proximity to the sun may have been overcome by a deeper cover- ing of atmosphere. None of the other planets, the professor said, could contain animal life. DEATH RECORD. George C. Reynolds. C.
