In White Plains on June 30 a Supreme Court surrogate directed a verdict for Rev Dr Henry Darlington of New York Citys Church of the Heavenly Rest and other proponents of the will of Mrs Anna H Paton. The will left 30 percent of her estate to the clergyman. Paton died in 1941 at age 78. Relatives challenged claiming undue influence over ten years of alleged affection.
