Third Suit Over Miller Estate Reaches Supreme Court Again
The Supreme Court, with a jury, takes up the contested will of Mrs. Charlotte Miller for the third time in a year. The dispute centers on whether Mrs. William Schultz should receive most of the nearly $100,000 estate, with two Captain Schultz daughters as contestants.
