James Rogers Will at Kansas Supreme Court Forwarded
A suit to break the will of James Rogers, filed in the Kansas Supreme Court, arises from a Brown County gun appeal. Rogers, who died in Hiawatha in February 1396, left his estate valued at 4000 dollars to Mrs Rogers and two sons, with other children receiving one dollar each. The plaintiffs allege mental incapacity due to a lightning injury and accuse Fred Rogers of undue influence. The Brown County district court ruled for the defendants. Mrs Rogers has since died, risking the entire estate passing to Fred and Albert Rogers if not reversed.
