Heirship Battle Over Smith Will Amid Courtroom Heat
In probate court tension rose over Truman J. Smith’s will after judges heard that Smith may have been insane when he left his entire estate to Clifford H. Wells, excluding his three daughters. Witnesses described nighttime fits and calls to imaginary people, while doctors prepare to testify. meanwhile Edith Smith testified about his July death and his wish to help a daughter. In a separate obituary note, John F. Murden’s death at Forest Park Lake is treated as likely accidental, with family ties and career history traced from London to Waterbury through Meriden and Boston.

Can't Dodge Marriage Law Involves Chicopee Couple
The marriage of Mrs Stella D Kirkpatrick of Chicopee to Clement W Kirkpatrick of this city faces legal scrutiny as records show he is her former husband's son. Massachusetts law sections prohibit such marriages if both parties reside in state and intend to reside here. Even a marriage in another state would be void upon return, keeping the couple from reuniting in this city.
