Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the transcript from the trial following the death of Horace Hawes, a wealthy industrialist and philanthropist, to determine the validity of his will. At issue is the disposition of a large portion of Hawes' fortune, specifically his bequest to establish Mont Eagle University, and the terms of his will regarding the guardianship of his minor son. The trial focuses on the testimony of the witnesses, as well as the interpretation of the will itself, with both sides presenting arguments regarding the testator's intent and the legal implications of the language used in the will. The case highlights the complexities of estate law and the challenges of interpreting the wishes of the deceased, especially when those wishes are contested by family members. Ultimately, the jury's verdict on the validity of the will has significant implications for the future of Mont Eagle University and the legacy of Horace Hawes himself.
