Widow's share under 76 000 if will upheld
Ridgefield stock broker Harold Lancaster's will, naming Mrs. Mabel Chisolm as chief beneficiary, is being challenged in probate court as relatives seek to break the will. Testimony shows estate valued at about 128,921 with 75,000 to be distributed to Mrs. Chisolm after debts and executor fees. Opponents claim Lancaster was unsound due to illness and under Chisolm's influence. Chisolm and The Bank of New York deny the charges. Trial resumes next Tuesday with beam of taped statements and testimonies continuing.
