Description
On exceptions. Sumner O. Haley, a resident of York County, died June 8, 1950, leaving an instrument purporting to be his last will and testament. By this will he disposed of an estate amounting to some $96,000. His sole heir was a first cousin, Winn Broughton, otherwise known as Winn E. Broughton. By the will he left him a token bequest of $100. He also left the sum of $500 to Flora D. Palmer, who had been his housekeeper for some forty-eight years. He divided the residue into six equal shares, one of which he gave either to the child or the children of each of six named deceased first cousins. Of these second cousins nine were residents of the Conways in New Hampshire. On June 27, 1950, Pliny Crockett, a beneficiary and the executor named in the will, presented the same for allowance to the Probate Court for York County. The docket of the Probate Court shows that on July 14, 1950 ""Winn Broughton"" appeared by William P. Donahue. Said docket also shows that on November 2, 1950 Arthur A. Green of North Conway, New Hampshire, appeared ""for thirteen different heirs at law."" In passing it may be noted that Winn Broughton was the sole heir at law of the deceased; that the probate docket does not disclose the names of those for whom Arthur A. Green appeared; and that William P. Donahue, by whom Broughton appeared before the Judge of Probate is an attorney at law residing in this State. On November 14th the Judge of Probate disallowed the will.
