OLD QUARREL FACTOR GEORGE M'CARTS TRUST DEED TO SON SET ASIDE. Sisters Wis Salt Involving 30,000 Es tate Left by Linn County Man tm Hands of Their Brother, ALBANY, Or., June 26. (Special.) The fact that George A. McCart had re fused to comply with a request of his mother on her deathbed that he "make up" with his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Rob inson, played a potent part today in the decision by Judge Galloway In the State Circuit Court here of the case Involv ing the distribution of the estate of George McCart, estimated to be worth at least 30,000.- Judge Galloway set aside a trust deed by which George McCart had placed all his property in the hands of George A. McCart, his son, and bad directed him to distribute it after his death. George McCart, who died In October, 1912, was a resident of Linn County for many years, living near Brownsville, and Mrs. Robinson and George A. McCart live at Harrisburg. Judge Galloway said in announcing his decision that the testimony regard' lng George A. McCart's refusal to ef' feet a reconciliation with his sister in response to his mother's dying wish convinced him that McCart had such animosity against his sister that it gave weight to her allegations that he had poisoned the mind of their aged father against her.

In which the property rights were settled out of court. McCart had a desire to get married again, his children said, so to prevent some designing woman from getting his property the old man was urged to place his property In trust In the hands of his children.
