Norwalk Man’s Will Contest Hits Depositions and Signatures
Testimony in a Superior court will contest for John McMullen of Norwalk centers on a deed dated August 15 1919 three days before the will. Plaintiffs allege undue influence by Laura Hughes and Hugh Cooper and question McMullen’s testamentary capacity due to weak signature and possible mental state. Defense cites estrangement from relatives and multiple depositions from California. The two million dollar estate largely funds Cornell University’s Sibley Engineering School. two California nephews are named to receive forty dollars monthly for life.
