WIDOW WINS SUIT
TO SETJSI WILL
Culmination of Fight Be
tween Wife and Daughter of
Collins L. Batch.
By International News Service.
NEW YORK, April 26.--Mrs Georgia
C Balch, widow of Collins L. Baloh, a
wealthy manufacturer of celluloid, today
won the will contest that she brought
against her daughter, Grace C. Balch. A
Jury in the supreme court set aside the
will of Mr. Balch upon the ground that
he was incompetent to make a will in
October, 1910, and unduly Influenced by
Grace.
This Is the Second victory for Mrs.
Balch. In June, 1909, she was committed
to Bloom ingd ale asylum for tho Insane
uion pet 1 1 ton of Grace and compelled to
remain there until her cousin, Harland
FI. Sweot of I.,os Angeles, got a hearing
for her in rourt and st her free. Mrs.
Balch at once arranged with Joseph
Lesser, her attorney, to ttaxt tho tight
to break the will:
The Balch contest has be-ri conspicuous !
for the bitterness of the relations between 1
mother and daughter. Mrs. Balch testi
fled that she had concealed for many 1
years, for reasons of family pride, the '
fact that Grace had ill-treated her and i
subjected her to many kinds of abuse. 1
Jt was not until Grace mentioned the al- ,
lege!! "kidnaping" of her mother and her '
Incarceration In an asylum that the (
mother threw aside her reserve and ex- 1
posed her relations with Orace,
Letters that Mrs. Bukh wrote from J
the asylum to Grace, praying hoi to hlp (
her mother to get free and promising
her certain real estate, were read in (
court. Mrs. Balch testified that Qract '
II..... i.,a tMiut, j i !
. i in, . .'it .- i,iu ih.-ii l.i,)
other letters that Mrs. Batch sent out of J
the asylum to friends, Grace did not
testify in contradiction to any of these J
charges. j
Mrs. Ralh testified that Grace put her j
in an asylum to get Mr Balch to revoke )
another will, dividing his $350,000 estate J
equally between his daughter and the t
mother, anrf to cxe.-nte the disputed will J
Which gave the daughter SPKio a year in- )
come from the estate and her mother only S
$2600. )
The oferutoi-? of the wit sought to es- j
tabllsh the fact that Mr. Balch has act- (
sd In an eccentric manner for many years )
and that she was prompted to brlnr the (
will contest to spite Grace. S

JJ. MORRIS, who -will be executed
next Tuesday, unless the hoard of

for the student of rriminologv.
When seen by s representative of The
Tribune at the prison yesterday, ids eyes
were clear, his hands steady and his voice
even and we! modulated, but there were
lenRe lines in his face that plainly told
the strain under which the slayer of J.
Walter Axtell was laboring.
Neither in attitude, tone nor gesture
was there any indication of clinging des
perately to a last straw of hope that he
might secure, a reprieve or a commutation
of sentence; nor. on the other hand, was
there to be ?pPn any of tbr palpable
bravado that marked the demeanor of
Frank Rose, the barber who eight years
ago, while Intoxicated, killed his wife and
continued his spree, leaving their Infant
son alone by the body of the dead mother.
Rose request e- (ho court to order his
execution without the formality of a trial,
and the last words that he spoke em
bodied a ourse of defiance and the boast,
"T have klll.vl hundreds of people'
Not Like Morten sen.
Nor did the condemned man In any wise
suggest the attitude assumed by Peter
Mortensen, who a year before Rose was
executed paid the death penalty for the
murder of James Kay, his brother In the
Mormon church and a fellow Sunday
s'-hooi teacher. Mortensen wap a verita

gal means to escape the death chair,
but was never shaken out of his sto

pinned the target on his heart one minute
before the executioners fired their volley

was lower than the normal beat it had

lay quietly in an icefield leas than

sought to communicate with her, but
got no response and she finally, accord

It was either from this vessel or beyond
