PROBATE COURT.
Proceedings in the Salt Lake
County Probate Court yesterday:
Estate of Lydia n. Davis. This
case developed a peculiar history.
1t came out in the evidence that
some years ago William woolley, a
resident Of the southwest part of |
town, became enamored of Mrs. |
Davis, a widow. Mr.. Woolley had |
a wife from whom he had been sep
arated a number Of years, though n |
divorce had not been secured. 1t 4
was agreed between him and Mrs. |
Davis that they should be married |
when he obtained the divorce, |
which he proceeded 10 do. Mns. |
Davis asked that he deed to her his |
property. and Mr.. Woolley, having |
full confidence in her, did so. The
consideration in the deed was placed
at $500, about half its value, the IN
derstanding being that when the
nuptial knot was tied Mrs. Davis
would bring to the household per
sonal property Of about the same
amount as Mr.. woolley was
giving TO her. The transfer being |
made and the divorce procured, Mrs.
Davis declined to become Mrs.
WoOlley, maintaining her position
till her death, though she did not |
return the property. In the mean
time she took into her employ Miss 1
Minnie BrintOn, promising the lat
ter, in exchange for her services, |
all Of her property at the time OF her
demise. The young lady accepted
the offer, and remained with Mrs. |
Davis until the final summons came. !
Soon after that event, she made APP |
plication to the court for the appoint |
ment Of an administrator. Later on,
il was discovered that the deceased |
had left a will in which Miss Brin- |
ton, who had been a faithful attend |
ant and had carried out her part OF
the contract,swas not even men |
toned, but the property was left |
TO Emma Elizabeth Wilson. This /
will was objected to by Mr.. Brown, |
on behalf OF Miss Brinton, who had !
a number of witnesses TO the agree
ment with Mrs. Davis, though IL
was not in writing. Mr.. Woolley |
also came in, and insisted that he
should have something TO say about 4
the disposition of the property,
which is now worth 5000 to $4,000.
Judge Bsrtch listened to the testi-
mony and then took the case under
advisement
