Grundy Center Iowa January 12 The million dollar Wells estate will not be tried this term but in February. The case promises a hard fought contest with over a hundred witnesses and weeks of jury selection and pleas. Expected to feature experts on insanity the trial may reach the supreme court and involve large assets and heirs eager for shares of the million dollar estate.
