COURT RULING ADMITS BOTH MOORE WILLS Circuit Judge Hill entered a ruling in the case of Grace Rebecca Taylor against Ennls D. Wait going on In circuit court here, admitting both the wills of George J. Moore and Rebecca Moore, around which con test is revolving as part of extensive litigation which has been carried on both in Marion and Clackamas coun ties. Admission of the wills was al lowed after considerable citation from legal claims against it. One of the main contentions of the defense against admission of the wills was that one of them had to be admitted to probate to make the agreement alleged between Moore and his wife a binding one and that Moore should have caused probation of tne estate of Rebecca Moore who died first. Hueh Ward. Drobate court clerk. went on the stand to testify to the fact that neither will had ever been admitted to probate In this county. The court, hov.-ever, overruled the contentions of the defense. Grace Rebecca Taylor.

According to the letters the money came from great uncles In England.

B. W. Macy, local attorney, was also on the witness stand. He Intro duced in evidence, letters written by George Moore to him when Macy was attorney for Moore in court fight over payment for some wood, which Moore refused to pay for.
