influence. The motion was heard on statements of expected evidence and the testimony of one witness. The judge allowed the motion on the first ground and denied it on the second. From the order framing an issue on the first ground the proponents appealed; from the order refusing to frame an issue on the second ground, the contestants appealed.

W. Warner Lang for the proponents.

Howard F. Ryan for the contestants.
