Six opinions were" handed down, by the Supreme Court yesterday, 1n four of which the decrees of i the lower courts were reversed.

George and Arthur L. Eraser. judges; reversed. Opinion ;by Justice Wolverton. . 5 This is acaseHin which Roy Cecfl Holman, by , his friend and guardian ad litem, brought suit in, the county Uourt of Multnomah county to set aside the will of his father. John W. Holman, deceased, on the ground that id will was not his free act and deed, but was the result of undue in fluence and control by; Charles I lloP man, at nephew, "who was made a beneficiary under, the wilL It was also alleged that deceased at the time of making the will was of unsound bodily and mental health, and Incapa ble of acting Intelligently for -V him self." The'county court denied the pe tition of TUy C. Holman. found that the will .was properly executed and ad flitted it to probate. An appeal was taken to the circuit court with, the three judges aforesaid presiding, and upon the ttial Judges Scars and Frazer united in an opin ion reversing the county court.

The only legal protest tlon ivgilrs tp '' the presumption of the la wn rega.rd to the influence of the testator. The opin ion says: : ; ,: The ' fraud, force or undue influ ence ttat will suffice to set aside a will must be such as to overcome the free volition or conscious judgment ot the testator,and:-to substitute the wicked purposes of another Instead. . "Common understanding suggests that a .will should be natural, that is, conformable to the nature and dispo tltion of the 'person who makes . it. Where Jt does not conform to this Idea, it Is a circumstance no doubt to be considered In connection with fath er proof bearing upon the question as to whether or not it was the result of undue Influence, but within Itself af. fords no conclusive or sufficient proof for the purpose, and 'noes - not, there fore, raise a presumption that It was, so procured. " " v . ' In conclusion, it says; " ; v j "Holman s acts, carrying 'Into exei ruticn this Idea, showed a determina tion and fixedness of purpose that can not be attributed: to any outside dom inating Influence, and was a concep tion' and execution entirely his oart.
