Art Museum to Fight for Cash Bequest Case
Judge Colt allowed an appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the Hubbard versus Worcester Art Museum suit. Hubbard, Virginia nephew of Stephen Salisbury of Worcester, seeks to set aside Salisbury will and void the nearly $3 million bequest to the Worcester Art Museum. He argues the museum lacked charter power to hold real estate and that holding more than $1.5 million of the Salisbury estate abused its corporate powers. Similar questions were raised earlier.
