From a judgment entered on a verdict in favor of the estate, claimant appeals.\nThis case has been once before in the Appellate Court on an appeal by the estate from a judgment in favor of the claimant, which judgment was reversed and the case remanded in 175 Ill. App. 109.\nC. F. Preston, for appellant.\nTrusdell, Smith & Leech, for appellee; Adam C. Cliffe, of counsel.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Executors and administrators, \u00a7 305 \u2014questions for jury. In a suit on a .claim filed against an estate for a balance due on an open account, held the question whether a certain written memorandum on which the claimant relies in support of his claim was of any probative force was for the jury.\n2. Witnesses, \u00a7 41 \u2014when husband of heir competent witness. On trial of a claim filed against the estate of claimant\u2019s father, held that the husband of an heir who was defending the estate was a competent witness to testify to a conversation with the claimant occurring after the father\u2019s death, for the reason that husband may testify in suits concerning the separate property of his wife.\n3. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1491 \u2014when rejection of evidence not material error. In an action on a claim filed against the estate of claimant\u2019s father, rejection of the inventory of the estate offered in evidence by the claimant for the purpose of showing what stock and produce there was on the farm at the time of his father\u2019s death, held not material error for the reason that it had little bearing on the real issue.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols.
