Judge Snyder decided this morning that the will of the late Ludlow K. Thomas should be permitted to stand. Thomas was married three times and had five children by his first wife and one by his last. The child by his last wife is a small girl and by his will, Mr. Thomas left his farm and property to be used for her benefit until she became of age. The she was to receive $2,000 and the rest of the property to be divided among the other five. His property was worth about $6,500 and the older children objected to his disposition of the property as they got much less than their younger half sister, while their mother, they assert, was the one who helped acquire the property. The objection to the probating of the will is the first case of the kind ever tried in Montgomery County and no similar case has ever been tried in Indiana. The reason of this is that wills which are attached by the heirs are usually admitted to probate and then contested. The statutes provide that this can be done. - s
