. r , THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1920. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON FINAL TESTIMONY IBEING TAKEN IN " RAE WILL CASE Final testimony was in. progress Thursday before Circuit Judge Taz well in the contest of the will of the late George Rae. who was a. mem ber of. the Inman-Poulsen Lumber company, and who left an Estate valued at More than $100,000. i 1 T,he BUit was Instituted by Maude " Jlae EmerBon.' an adopted daughter. Sensational features marked the tes timony - during Thursday forenoon. . ' t Arthur Spencer, chief counsel for the contestant, had named in his complaint Maude; Emerson Rae and Elizabeth E- Rae, the widow. f as. .the , heirs. He asked the court for permission to with draw the name of Elizabeth B. Rae, declaring his belief that there had never been a valid decree of divorce between W. j W. Miller and Eliaabeth Miller, now Mrs. Rae, and that there fore there was never a legal marriage of Rae and Mrs. Miller on November 6. 1914. The court did jiot allow this motion. v i ,i . The testimony . of ' Maude Rae .Emer son was to the effect that she did not know for years that she was an adopt ed daughter, and that this Information came to her from strangers ; that dur ing the lifetime, of Mrs. Lottie Bae, the former wife of George Rae, he be came infatuated with Mrs. Miller and neglected his own wife ; h that this caused : her to become so mentally de ranged that she was confined to a sanatorium and later sent to the state hospital at Salem, where she died. Mrs. Emerson said that Rae made himself conspicuous " during the life time of the first Mrs. Rae by his at tentions to Mrs. Miller; nd that the diamonds and Jewelry of Mrs. Rae were worn by Mrs. Miller before Mrs. Rae passed, away. "I was In a convent at Salem," said Mrs. Emerson, "and he asked me to go with Mrs. Miller to the hospital to see how Mrs. Rae was getting along. When Mrs. Miller entered her room Mrs. Rae saw the diamond earrings In her ears and Jumped at her, crying out. Those are my earrings. They made us go away, as they said we upset the pa tient too much." The general contention of the con testants is that undue influence was brought to bear on Rae by his last wife, resulting in his willing her the bulk of his property and lea-4ng a small bequest for Mrs. Emerson, the daughter." , 5 Divorce Mill Divorce suits filed: Beria K.
