Mr. WARD at once advised his attorneys to appeal the case to the cirtuit court. (23 Jan 1908)-A special of the Detroit Journal from Pontiac says:-Henry C. WARD, millionaire, will have to undergo another examination as to his sanity, Judge DAVIS having granted a new trial on the petition of the family. WARD has been spending hundreds of thousands on works of art, painting and statuary, and the family adopted this as a sure sign of softening of the brain. They instituted proceedings in the probate court to have him declared incompetent, and succeeded, but Mr. WARD appealed to the circuit court. The case was tried six weeks ago and Mr. WARD was declared by the jury to be perfectly sane. Now Judge DAVIS, who tried the case, has ordered a new trial. (13 Aug 1908)
