Hearing Will Open This

Court Will Consider Disposition Of
Dead Ciuhman's Estate. "

Boston, April 12.-Mrs Frank H.
Hurd of New York and Miss Mary
Maud Mum of Bogota, n. J., arrived in
Boston yesterday to be present at the
hearing in the Suffolk probate court
tomorrow on the probating of the will
Of Walter Farnsworth Baker of 1858
Newbury street, who died at the Hurd
home in Bogota, Oct. q, 1907
The will is being contested by Ed
ward f. Baker of Boston, brother of
the deceased. BY it's terms, the estate,
which, according to the official ap-
praisal, is worth about half million
dollars, is divided as follows: To Mrs.
Frank H. Hurd, 100000 to be used Sin
accordance with letter that I will
leave for her.: to his brother, Edward,
$4,000; of the residue, one-third to Ma
talie Hurd, the 6-year-old daughter
Of Mrs Hurd, who has since died; one
third to "be used for any purpose to
help By beloved alma mater, Har-
vard"; the remaining third to be shared
equally by two nephews, sons of Ed
| ward Baker.
The will named no executors. It was
written in Bakers own hand on five
sheets of ordinary note paper. The
witnesses were Mrs. Young, the divorce
ed wife of George w. Young, vice-pres-
ident Of the Windsor Trust CO. of
New York, and Miss Mum, who has
come to attend the probate hearing.
Miss Mum is q woman Of about 50,
| whose widowed mother owns much
property in Bogota, including the
house in which the Hurds lived. It
was Miss Munn's father who founded
| the town and named it for the South
American city where he laid the foun-
dation of his fortune. The Munns
live across the street from the Hurds,
and Miss Mum was an intimate friend
of the Hurds and Walter Baker.
On January Harvard College filed
petition in the probate court asking
that the bill be allowed. George Fl.
| Blinn had been appointed temporary
| administrator of the estate some weeks
prior to this date. Mabel A. Baker,
mother of the two minor children Of
| Edward F. Baker, had John 4. Berry
enter an appearance as her counsel at
the same time, thought it was asserted
and not denied that this meant no
hostility to her husbands contest Of
| the will, duly entered in the probate
court soon afterwards.
All the proceedings concerning the
| will are to take place in Boston, since
Walter Baker haasdf . his legal residence
here. ,.
