END OF POLK WILL CASE.
The win OF 1907 Stands and the Estate
GOES TO Relatives.
Prom the Baltimore sun Of April Is


The Court Of Appeals has affirmed the
rulings Of Judge Wright in the now famous
Polk will case. This ends litigation lasting
more than three years over the will Of Mrs.
Mary Polk, who FOR many years resided on
Aisqu'tb street
She was the widow Of Col Robert ". Polk,
formerly Of Westminster, who died IN 1896
While her husbands body was in the house
she made a will leaving all her property 20 a
niece, Mrs Eldridge Packham, Jr., and the
children Of Mrs Paekham. Ia April 1902,
she made a second will dividing her property
among her relatives generally and leaving
$40 On to Louis Glendmeyer and his sister,
who lived with her and cared for her for seven
years. In this will the PackhAms received no
legacy further than q forgiveness Of an in
debtciness Of sl2, 600.
IN March. 1903, an effort was made by re-
laiivss to have Mrs Polk adjudged a lunatic.
The jury Of inquisition decided in favor of
Mr.. Polk 5 sanity. and motion was filed
with the court 10 have this finding set aside.
While ii was pending Mrs. Polk died, leaving
no children. 4 few days before her death
she executed a third will, in which she cut of
all relatives who participated in the lunacy
proceedings, aud left the bulk of her estate to
the Gleudmeyers. This will was set aside by
a jury, and the will Of 1902, dividing the
property with apparent fairness, was next
assailed by Mr.. Packham aud his family. This
viii was sustained by jury in the Superior
Court, and from the Courts rulings an appeal
was taken to the Court of Appeals, which has
just affirmed the action of the lower court.
The value OF tbs estate is said 10 be about
S75. 600. The counsel for the side which has
prevailed are Charles F, Harley. Joseph d.
Brooks, f. o. Weant. Roberts 4 Grouse and
the firm OF APPLICANT, Reitsnider L Herman,
while George Whi,slock and Judge David
Fowler represented the Packhams.
Judge Jones, of this Judicial Circuit. deliv-
cred the opinion of the Court, Chief Judge
McSherry dissenting.
