Hearing today on cent will perplex probate case
A probate court in East Cambridge holds a morning hearing on the will of Anna K. Gilman which allegedly realigns a fortune of more than a million dollars by giving legal heirs only one cent each. W. K. Smith, a New York attorney, represents a Brooklyn brother and questioned Miss Gilman’s sanity as documents show Wakefield ties and a deposit at an arthouse twenty years ago. The will mainly allocates 1000 to Walter Dyball of London and 1000 to William C. Gilman of New York with 200 to Frances H. Smith of Middletown, Conn.
