1Opinion of the Court
AMIDON, District Judge.
This suit is brought by plaintiffs to compel defendant as executor to account to them for their share of the residuary estate of Mary Thomas Piper, deceased. The defendant in his answer claims that the residuary estate by the will of the testatrix is left to him personally, and not as executor. The suit has been in this court before. 223 Fed. 41, 138 C. C. A. 405. The defendant whose presence defeated jurisdiction then was dismissed when the case was returned to the lower court. Upon the second trial a decree was entered in favor of plaintiffs, and defendant appeals.
