Estate of Yoell
California Supreme Court
APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco directing payment of costs of contestants of a will out of funds of an estate or the funds of a special administratrix. Thos. F. Graham, Judge. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtHenshaw, J.
Certain of the children of J. Alexander Yoell, deceased, contested the admission of his proffered will to probate. The first trial resulted in a disagreement of the jury, the second proved abortive because of the earthquake and fire, the third resulted in a mistrial, the jury standing eight for contestants and four for the proponents. The trial court then made its order fixing the costs of the contestants upon the second and third trial, and directing them to be paid by the special administratrix out of the funds of the estate. From that order this appeal is taken.
