Will contest reveals family intrigue in probate hearing

In Boston probate court Judge McKim heard a petition by the Burton heirs to set aside Ebenezer Smith's will, alleging fraud. Eliza W. Smith testified about marriages, relatives, a West Medford school, and the large bequest she received. Letters from her father and correspondence on the Washington seminary illustrated the personal and financial stakes. The hearing continued with details on primogeniture and estate plans, amid a flood of testimony.

A moderate audience heard Hattie A. Pronk present dramatic recitations with the Beethoven Quartette. The program included Shakespeare, Verichenheit, fl ute solos, and duets with Miss Upham and Mr Titus. Praised voices and stage presence drew mixed judgments on delivery and expression.
