STKPPATH KR'S WILL.
Mrs. A. T. UrmllM-ck Alleges Late
Will. C. Ilurk Was Iiillucnced by
llevisce. Her Sister.
The first round of a legal battle
for an estate valued at $7500 will,
take place In the County Court on
the 28th of next month, when Judge I
Wonacott will hear the petition of I
Mrs. A. T. Brodbeck, asking for thel
cancellation of a will executed by
the late William C. Burk, her step-1
father. In 1908. and the admission
to probate In its stead of a will
made by the decedent in 1885. The
second will made by Burk names as
his sole heir Miss Lois Lehman,
sister of Mrs. Brodbeck and who
conducts a lodging house in this city
Mrs. Brodbeck is a traveling lecturer
for a mental healing cult and Is now
in Portland.
Burk died on March 17, 1909, at
the age of 81 years. He lert a will
executed less than three months he
fore, revoking his first will and be
queathing all of his properly to Miss1
Lehman. The estate Includes a 320-
acre farm west of Oakland, cash.
notes and chattels, aggregating a to
tal value of $7500. In her petition,
for the setting aside of this instru-,
ment, Mrs. Brodbeck, through her
attorney, C. S. Jackson, alleges that
111 ine ume mint exeeuied it, as well
as for some time prior, he was men
tally enfeebled to the extent that he
was Incompetent to manage his own'
affairs and was completely under the
inlluence of the devisee named there-,
in. I
Bark's Mist will was executed on
April 211. ISsTi. In consideration of a
similar Instrument made by his wife,
two months later. The wife had
been married twice before. By her
first husband she had two children.
Mrs. Augusta 10. Stevens and F. W.
Mndautz; hy her second husband,
four children, Mrs. Brodbeck, Mlss(
Lehman. R. O. Lehman and Mrs.
Fmnia C. McKinney. There was no
Issue of the union witli Burk. By 1
tile terms of Mrs. llurk's will, if she'
died first all of her property was to !
go to her husband and then at his ',
death to the four children by her
second marriage. By the terms of 1
Hurk's will, If he died first nil of his j
property was to go to his wife and .
then at her death to all of her six 1
children.
Mrs. Burk preceded her husband
to the grave hy a year and a half, !
but. for some reason it will proh-!
ably develop at the hearing her
will was never filed for probate, in;
fact It was not generally known that!
she left a will until an order of j
Judge Wonneott caused the opening .
after Burk's death of a private de
posit box maintained in an Oakland!
bank. This box not only contained 1
Mrs. Burk's will, but nlso the first 1
one executed hy her husband. Sub
sequent to the examination of the;
documents, Burk's will was reported,
by Miss Lehninn. so Attorney Jack
son states, to have been destroyed by
fire. Precaution had been taken. I
however, to have copies of the will
made before it left the possession
of the court.
Aside from the alleged incompe
tency of the testator, Attorney Jack
son will contend ltinl 11 was neyomi
Burk's power to revoke his first will
after his wife died, because it was;
executed for a consideration that
was. fulfilled on her part when she
died.

APPOINTMENT IS ACCEPTED

Special to the Evening Review.
WASHINGTON, April 25. Presi
dent Taft today appointed Governor
Charles K. Hughes, of New York, to
the United States Supreme Court, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
recently of David J. Brewer. It is
officially announced that Governor
Hughes has accepted,
Charles Evan Hughes was born at
Glen Falls, N. Y., April 11, 18C2, and
Is therefore 4 8 years of age. His
father was a Baptist clergyman.
Governor Hughes graduated from the
Columbia luw school in 1884 and was
admitted to the bar the same year.
Before many years had elapsed he
had become widely known as u bril
liant lawyer. His brilliant conduct
of the investigation into the nffalrs
of the big gas companies first drew
general attention to him. In 1905
he acted as attorney for the Arm
strong Insurance Commission, and It
was in this work that he gained his
greatest distinction. In September,
190G, Mr. Hughes was nominated by
the Republicans for Governor of
New York and was elected tho fol
lowing November, defeating Win. H.
Hearst.
Governor Hughes was regarded as
a very strong probability for the
Republican nomination for President
In 1912. Politicians look upon his
appointment to the Supreme Bench
as a shrewd move on part of Presi
dent Taft, removing him front the
list of candidates for the Presidency
In 1912. When Hughes was elected
to the New York Governorship he
was the only man on the Republican
ticket to win, and then despite the
fact that Hearst carried New York
City.
