A FAMOUS WILL CASE.
Fight for an Estate Involving Four
Million Dollars.

Fight for an Estate Involving Four
Million Dollars.
New YORK, Nov. S.-The Seaman will
case came up for trial in the supreme
court, New York, today. This fight was
begun four years ago by Gilbert Shute
to break the will of Mrs. J. F. Seaman.
The property involved includes about
"a, 000,0 900 in real estate in New York
and 100000 in Chicago. Mrs. Sea.
man was the daughter of Thomas Drake.
Her husband, John F. Seaman built q
great mansion near Kingsbridge, over
looking the Harlem, which has been
called Seaman's Folly. This is valued
at $2,000,000. Mrs. Seaman died in
1873, eighty years old and widow.
She bequeathed most of the property to
Lawrence Drake, whose mother was a
half-aunt of Mrs. Seaman. In 1879 a
fight against the will was made by some
heirs, but the contest accomplished moth
ing. Gilbert Shute is the present con-
testant. There are about one hundred
and fifty parties to each side of the suit.
Lawrence Drake has dozen of the
ablest lawyers Of the city, headed by
Evarts, Choate & Beaman. The con-
testants' counsel is George w. Wilson, Of
No. 1886 Broadway. He will try to prove
three things-that Mrs. Seaman was OF
unsound mind, that the signature to the
will was not genuine and that Lawrence
Drake is not an heir.
