Snell's Will Verdict Upsets Grandniece Annuity Case
A Detrit county jury ruled Richard Snell was inane at the time of the will and awarded the estate to him, with the grandniece Madelte Snell McNamara losing her $60 annuity. If affirmed, Richard would receive about $750,000, while the $1,200 annuity to a former admirer would be discontinued. The verdict hinges on two special questions regarding influence by an insane delusion concerning Richard as a son. The case promised a supreme court appeal.
