er estate and to poison her mothers
mind against her and deprive her of
her mothers love. The defendant as
serts that in January, soon after her
mother had decided certain property to
her. Ralph Meeker arrived from New
York City and was followed shortly by
Miss Lillian Whiting OF Boston. When
he ascertained that his mother had e,;-
ecuted the deed it is charged that he
flew into a great rage at the defend
ant, grasped her by the throat. violent
" shook her and swore that she should
return the deed.
Ralph Meeker and Miss Lillian
Whiting are alleged to have excluded
