Appeal and error, \u00a7 126 \u2014when appeal from decree sustaining will raises question of freehold. Adi appeal from a decree sustaining a will raises a question of freehold where the will devises real estate to the widow of testator which such widow could not have taken as heir at law, and makes other devises of real estate and annuities charged on real estate to persons not heirs at law, since if the will had been set aside all such interests in the real estate would have been defeated, and the real estate so devised would have in part passed to heirs at law who took nothing under the will.\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Will county; the Hon. Abthub W. De Selm, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the October term, 1915.\nTransferred to Supreme Court.\nOpinion filed December 8, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nBill in equity by John Riley, complainant, against John J. Webb and others, defendants, to contest the will of Thomas H. Riley, deceased. Complainant was one of the heirs at law of testator, who died leaving a widow and no descendants, and whose heirs at law were his brothers and the daughter of a deceased brother. From a decree sustaining the will, complainant appeals.\nThomas H. Riley and Brickwood & Brickwood, for appellant.\nJohn W. Downey and Corlett & Clare, for appellees.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
