The trial of the case of John E. and Estella Lautenklos against Rebecca Fitch and B.F. Parlett,
executors, was concluded Thursday in the Court of Common Pleas, Baltimore, when the jury
brought in a sealed verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. The controversy was over the estate of the
late John Fitch, of this county, who had amassed a fortune of about fifty thousand dollars by
trucking and farming. He left a will bequeathing all his property to his eight children, and excluding
the plaintiffs, who are the children of a deceased daughter. A caveat was filed to the will in the
Baltimore County Court, but the case was removed to Baltimore for trial. Twenty-two witnesses
were examined on behalf of the defendants, each of whom testified that Mr. Fitch was competent
to make a valid will, and six witnesses on behalf of the plaintiff, only two of whom, George
Lautenklos and George B. Councilman, testified that they did not consider him competent. In this
case the jury were instructed instead of rendering the usual verdict in favor of plaintiff or
defendant, to answer the questions made by the issues yes or no. The jury were out two and a-
half hours. The case has been on trial about two weeks, and has attracted much attention. Thomas
R. Clendinen and John G. Mitchell were council for the plaintiffs, C. Ross Mace and Robert R.
Boarman for the defense. –– Baltimore County Democrat, 18 Feb 1893

GILMOR, JOSEPHINE A.
On Wednesday last Judge Burke filed an opinion in the case of ex-Judge Robert Gilmor against
Albert Gilmor and others in which he overrules the exception filed to the sale of the land made to
E. F. Abell. The opinion is a very elaborate one and its author construed fully the last will of Mrs.
Josephine a. Gilmor, wife of Judge Gilmor. The contention was raised, and it was the main point in
the case, that this will did not pass real estate because the words used related solely to the
personalty.
The testatrix directed that her personalty and all the residue of her estate should go to Robert
Gilmor for life, the remainder to her children. This was, it was contended, to general a direction,
coupled as it was with the bequest of the personalty, to mean anything else than the personalty.
The court, however, did not entertain this view, but after suggesting the danger of relying on
apparently similar cases in the constructions of wills, announced as the paramount rule that the
intention of the testatrix, if it could be ascertained, should govern, and that this intention was that
the real estate as well as ther personal should pass to her husband for his life.
The property was sold to E. F. Abell for $14,162.50 by Judge Gilmor, appointed a trustee by order
of court, and to this sale exceptions were filed.
Messrs. Venable, Baetjer & Howard appeared for the exceptant, and Judge Gilmore appeared for
himself as trustee. –– Baltimore County Union, 19 July 1902

HULL, CHARLES J.
Charles J. Hull, the builder of Hulltown, near Mt. Winans, in the 13th District, whose death
was mentioned in the Journal as having occurred on the 12 ult. at Houston, Texas, is said to have
left an immense estate behind which will no doubt cause serious litigation, as the
following extract from the Baltimore American will show. "The deceased bought the Gephardt
property of 60 acres and laid it out in lots which were sold on most advantageous terms. The town
was built up, a
Post Office established, with Mr. Geo. M. Ruhl as Postmaster: a drug-store, several doctors, an
Episcopal Church; of which Rev. D.C. Loop is rector, a colored Methodist church, of which Rev.
Nelson Butler is pastor, and a colored Baptist church, of which Rev. Richard Johnson is pastor, and
a chapel, a branch of Sharp Street M.E. Church. The deceased is reported to have left an estate
worth about $3,000,000.
His property is in Texas, around Chicago, and in Baltimore city and county. He also leaves an
estate at Whitehall, on the Frederick road, and a tract of land near Pimlico, Baltimore county, and
real estate in the neighborhood of Greenmount. Mr. Charles W. Hull, the nephew, in company with
Mr. Everett Shelton, of
Hulltown, went to Chicago and attended the funeral. The remains had been taken to that city from
Texas, and were buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery on Wednesday 20th ult. Mr. Shelton returned
from Chicago on Friday. He says after Mr. Hull's death seventeen deeds of property were found in
several
states, in Baltimore and Baltimore county, of which, with the exception of the Baltimore property,
he willed to his housekeeper, Miss Helen Culver, who kept house for him for nearly forty years.
The will was probated at Chicago last week, and the heirs to the immense estate were given
twenty days by the
Chicago court to enter their protest against the will. This they have done. Lawyers Paterson and
W. C. Hull, of Chicago, are counsel for the heirs. Miss Culver also has counsel. The will was made
October 1st, 1881. The will of Mr. Hull was filed for probate in the Office of Benj. W. Ady, Register
of Wills at Towson on Monday 25th ult. The document, which is brief, is as follows:
I Charles J. Hull, of Chicago, Illinois, do hereby make this my last will and testament. I do give,
devise and bequeath to Miss Helen Culver, of Chicago, Illinois, all my estate and all my property,
real and personal and mixed, wherever it may be found, of whatever kind or nature, to her, her
heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever. I do appoint the said Helen Culver to be the
executrix of this will and testament, and direct that she be not required to give the usual bond.
Witness my hand and seal this 21st day of October, 1881. Charles J. Hull. {Seal.}
The witnesses are Thomas J. Divin, C. Bunge and Emma Bunge. The document is regularly

LYMAN, REV. DWIGHT E.
Rev. Theodore D. Mead, administrator of the estate of the late Louis Lyman, has filed a bill in
the Circuit Court asking that John L. Rosenateel?, administrator of the estate of the late Rev.
Dwight E. Lyman, be directed to deliver to him twenty-five shares of stock of the Baltimore City
Passenger Railway Company. The stock, it is alleged, was purchased by Re. Dwight E. Lyman for
his sister, the late Louisa Lyman, and was inadvertently made out in the name of the former, as
attested by a memorandum found in his private papers. According to the will of Louisa

and the proceeds used for having masses said for the repose of the soul of th testator and his
