Third Degree Cross Examines Mrs Turnbull in Baldwin Case
In Los Angeles on December 21, Mrs Lilian A Turnbull faced a three hour cross examination in a will contest over a 2.5 million share of the Lucky Baldwin estate. She testified to a marriage contract with Baldwin that only she and Baldwin saw, recalled being called Mrs Baldwin by Baldwin before five people including servants and two men, and said hotel registers listed her as Lillian Ashley after marriage. She denied knowing she was Baldwin’s wife at the Santa Anita ranch at the time and said she told friends of her marriage in letters, then cut off contacts due to shame.
