Fight for Estate Renewed in Supreme Court Battle
Relatives of the late Mrs Adgeliné Darrow the Ownsend challenge her will admitted by Surrogate Thomas. They seek a court determination and to compel Joseph Mahan, heir under the will, to return property now in his possession. Townsend died February at Madison Avenue home aged eighty five. Mahan received the house valued at about 160000 and personal property worth 150000 transferred earlier. Rosenfeld Dodd represent Sharp heirs and Poll family nieces in the action against Mahan alleging undue influence by Mrs Townsend. Surrogate proceedings include evidence Townsend regarded Mahan as a son and her spiritualist investigations did not invalidate the will.

Lord Bellomont's Grave in St Pauls Questioned
In a fifth article on New York history Thomas A. Janvier argues Lord Bellomont, the first reform governor, was buried in St. Pauls churchyard with an unmarked grave. Church records lack proof, while Janvier maintains the remains were moved there after 1701 and a Fort chapel burial is certain though not conclusively verified.
