the prouhd of mental Incapacity on the part ot
the tottttor. The Repiner reviewed the testi
mony at great length, and contended tnat, In
consequence of the Inct that several wills bad
been made In which a bequest was made to the
Hospital, there could be no doubt as to hi In
tentions, that at the time ot makiuir the will the
tettator was In the full possession ol his fcul
Hcf; and that he wa perfectly aware, not only
oi tne cDaracterot his estate, out the nnjecs
of his bounty. It was in evidence alio, that
although the heir-at-law never corresponded
with his uncle for a period of fiiitoen years, h'i
telepraphed all the way from Orville, California,
to have the will contested, a lew days after Its
presentation at tho Register's otlice, The tes
tator had made numerous efforts to learn the
whereabouts ol his nephew, and failing in his
efforts, left his money to trie Hospital.
