Hill v. Bahrns
Illinois Supreme Court
Writ of Error to the Circuit Court of Effingham county; the Hon. E. D. Youngblood, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Carter
Defendants in error, Caroline Bahrns and others, filed their bill in equity in the circuit court of Effingham county to set aside the will of George Hill, deceased, on the grounds that the testator was of unsound mind, and that the execution of the will was obtained by undue influence. Upon two different trials the contestants obtained verdicts in their favor. The court set the first verdict aside, but allowed the verdict rendered on the last trial, that the will in question was not the last will and testament of George Hill, deceased, to stand, and entered a decree accordingly.
