cultlei. "
S Boston, Octobor fi. The 'ilowlund will case"
is In the Courts apain, hikI is attracting (food
cal ol attention, not only locally but public!;.
For more than titty jearn the leading firm In die
wealthy city of New Jtedlord hoa be d that of
Isaac Howland, Jr. & Co., the junior member of
the firm being Gideon Howland. a son-in-law of
Isaac. The tirm was edtabllshfd in 1812, and
with a capital ot less than $90,000 Invested iu
the whale ifrhery, the busluei-e of the Brm in
creased to nearly $3,000,000. They were agents
lor a laree uumber ot ships Whales were
plenty. Kerosene was then uuknown and gas
was but little used, and consequently the protits
l the Brm were enormous, and a lortuno was
made very rapidly. In 1820 Mr. Thomas Man
dall was admitted Into the firm as a partner,
and at the death of the senior member the busi
ness was continued and conducted by Gideon
Howland and Mr. Mandall. - '
In 1833 Mr. Bdward Mott Robinson married
Mbs A boy 8. Howland, a daughter of Gideon.
Mr. Mott became a member ot the firm, and the
business continued as successful as ever. In
I860 Uldeon Howland, the only surviving part
ner ot the original house, died, leaving an
immense property, which was divided between
Mrs. Robinson and his only daughter, Miss
Sjlvfa Ann Howland. Following the death of
ir. Howland, Miss Howland became a member
of the house, Mr. Mandall being at the head ot
the same, and doing all the busineos. He also
managed the immense property of Mrs. Robin
ion, and conducted the business to her entire
satisfaction. Mr. Mott was not generally liked
by all persons who came in coutiict with him.
He was universally known as a hard-natured,
close, business man, yet he was some
times inclined to calLall men dishonent except
ing "Thonins Mandall." In 18fil, Mr. Robliuon
withdrew lrora the firm in New Bedford and
removed to New York, where he made a busi
ness connection with the tirm of William T.
Coleman A Co., shippers and commission mer
chants. Relore leaving the scene where he had
accumulated so much wealth lroni out of the
deep waters, and while a member ot the flrui of
Isaac Howlund, Jr. & Co., a large portion of
Jbis private capital was employed in the shipping
busme6. Mrs. Kobiusun died in New Bedior I
in 1859, or some time prior to her husband's re
moval to New York. Miss Hetty Robinson, his
daughter, continued to reside with her aunt,
Mis Howland, in New lied lord.
Mr. Robinson died in the early part of 18C5.
leaving a property estimated at lour millions of
dollars. By the provisions ot his will he con
templated leeacles amounting to $30,000, and
gives to his daughter" Hetty $1,000,000 outright,
and leaves the balance to his executors in trust.
One would suppose that Miss Hetty would be
satisfied with being a millionaire, but she is not
tatisned, and is now tudenvorlug by her lawyers
to pet the lion's share.
Mies Hetty is about thirty-two years of age.
.She is not only peculiar in her habits, but de
cidedly eccentric. The people of New Bedford
are highly indignant that she should take
measures to break clown the will of her aunt,
Miss Howland, thereby depriving many worthy
and needy persons of the legacies left them by
that good lady, as well as keeping a number of
' charitable institutions from enjoying the bo
1 jiucsts made them by the provisions of the will.
The city of New Bedford is also interested iu the
will to the amount of $200,000.
Miss Howland, the aunt, died in June, 1865,
after a long illness, at the age of titty-nine. she
left a property amounting to between two and
three millions of dollars. Her will is dated
September 1, 18G3. A codicil is attached to it,
dated November 28, 184. By the will she be
queaths the sum of $1,100,000.
The will of Miss Howland was offered at Pro
bate Court, in New Bedford, on the 6th of Au
gust, 1805. The subscribing witnesses to the
will and codicil, Dr. Jacob liigelow, of Boston;
Hon. Thomas D Elliot, of New Beuford; Hon.
John M. Williams, William C. Taber, Esq., and
Simpson Hart, Esq., of Boston, were all present
at L'oinf On the occasion referred to the court
room was cruiYdcd with spectators, as toe mat
ter was one of general as well as of local inte
rest. The counsel present were Hon. B. P.
Thomas, of Boston: Hon. T. D. Elliot and Hon.
T. M. Stetson, of New Bedlord, for the executor;
Thomas Mandall, Esq., ex-Oovcrnor Clifford,
Oliver Prescott, and William W. Crapo,
Efqn., ol New Bedford, appeared for tlie con
testant, Miss Hetty Robinson. Judge Bennett
presided. On motion ol the contestant's counsel,
tor the purpose ot obtaining a full hearing, the
case was postponed until September 25, follow
ing, when, as belore, the court-room was over
flowing with spectators, many of them directly
or Indirectly interested iu the case. At this
time it was shown by the executor, Mr. Mandall,
that Miss Howland, in her sick chamber at
Round Hills Farm, assented to each and
every paragraph mentioned in the will and
codicil, including the residuary bequest to Miss
iietty. 10 tuis parncuuir ueiu sue reuiui.rc'j,
That is right, Hetty will have enough." Dr.
Jacob Bigeiow and Hon. J. M. Williams jointly
made a draft ot the will about a week belore the
fleeeased died, and the copy which was signed
was written on the day of us date. After it was
signed, she said it was a codicit to her will, and
that it was in accordance with her wishes. In
evidence it was shown that there was no doubt
of Miss Howlaud's competency. Her mind was
clear, and she bad a keen knowledge of all
events eoing on around her. At her request the
fact of the codicil was kept private, and it was
unknown to Hetty. For tlie contestant, Dr.
William A. Gordon, her regular physician, said
. that he had read the will, and that Miss How
land had consented to its provisions that it
was Just as she w anted it. The" testimony on
both sides was in tavor of the executor. No
arguments were olfered on either side. Judge
Uennett reviewed the testimony, and decided to
admit the will to probate, giving the contestant
thirty days in whieh to take au appeal. Miss
Hetty Robinson's attempt, at this time, to break
the will, on the ground ot unsoundness of mind
on the part of her aunt, totally failed. Within
the time allowed by law. uotice was given to the
respondent, Mandall, of an intention on the part
ot the complainant to file a bill in equity. The
bill was duly filed, and it disclosed some facts
not belore known to the public. It alleges that
the complainant was the nluco and sole heir-at-law
of the testatrix, Sylvia Ann Howland, by
whom she was brought up ancrteducated, with
whom she lived, and who performed the duties
of a mother to the complainant, i
At the time she came into the possession
ot propeny from her mother, she was, to use a
' common expression, at swords-points with
Edward Mott Robinson, the father ot the com
plainant, and did not disguise the fact of her
intense desire to prevent him receiving any
benefit whatsoever from the vast property re
ceived Irom her mother; and, tor the purpose
ot making a sure thing of it, in case the com
plainant should survive her aunt, requested the
complainant, Miss Hetty Robinson, to make a
will, so that in the event of her decease before
her father he should not in any way Inherit any
r,nrt ol the nrouertv. Shoalso aareedlthat if this
arrangement was complied with they would
' exchange wills. Each was to have possession
of the other, and neither party was to make auy
other will without notifying the other and
cominp into possessian of their own wills.
In obedience to this tacit understanding, Miss
Hetty made a will on the 19th of September,
I860, by which she gave all the property she
then bad to her Issue, it any, and in default, to
charitable purposes. Her lather, of course, was
left out in the cold. Her aunt, MUs Howland,
received the will according to arrangement, and
the instrument was lound among ner papers
alter her demise. The aunt had caused a draft
to be made of her will, but, as it appears, lett
, the date of it blank, and postponed the execu
tion of it on account of the belief that the later
: a will was executed the more operative it would
be. But the draft was executed, and delivered
on the 11th ot January, 1802.
But now comes the origin ot the "Howland
Will Case." It is alleged that notwithstanding
this secret agreement, to be binding on both
parties, Miss Howland, the aunt, as we have
already intimated, made another will in Sep-tr-robcr,
1M3, and a codicil, also relerred to. in
November, lb4. No notice whatever was frn
to Mif8 Hetty of this new order ot things. Tho
will wss admitted to probate. Thereiore it is
that Miss Hetty undertakes to break her aunt's
will, contending by her eminent counsel, that
"Miss Sylvia Ann, brina: bound In equity not to
make a will, tho executor is bountt by the con
tract, and should deliver up all the property to
the complainant." So far as tbl tenure or tho
case is concerned, Miss Hetty make a stong
point, but there Is, as later developments show,
something mysterious about the whole matter.
Sorre months have elapsed since notice was
given to the respondent, Mr. Mandall, and, il all
accounts are correct, a large amount ot secret
investigation has been goine on in the interim.
If all the facts in the case could be known, the
public would have, a rich dish of pabulum to
feast upon. A sort of private taking of deposi
tions and examination of witnesses has taken
plaee lately before Judge Pitman in the Probate
Court. Toe judicial atmosphere in court circles
is lull of rumors of "forgery," "slow poison,"
"conspiracy," end what not, and if Indications
are to be trusted, there will soon be music and
astonishing developments. The amount In
volved in the case is too large to be carelessly
or hurriedly dealt with; and the lawyers,
who have got fat pickings, will probe the
matter to the quick, and unfold, In Idue
time, the true version ot the laiuily difficul
ties, and whether or not somebody is trying
to make a big fortune in a very short time,
The examination of John Earl Williams, Esq.,
President of tho Metropolitan National Bank of
New York, in reference to the siznatures ap
pealing in the will ot Mis Howland, may per
haps prove to bp an important one, if not lead
to etariline developments. It is surmised that
the second will is a forgery, for it is known that
the aunt and the niece were sincere in their in
tentions when they agreed to chanae wills. The
influences brought to bear upon Miss Sylvia to
make a second will arc the subject of no incon
siderable talk, and it yet remains to be seen
who the party is that was successful in
bringing about its consummation. Accord
ing to one witness, obtained by outsiders
in a clandestine manner, it appears thai
Mr. Mandall, executor of the will, has
been w ithdrawing lunds from the property and
dealing ii out according to tho provisions of
some of the letracies, to the great Htonihment
ot Miss Hetty liobinson, the complainant, and
who Geeks to stop everything of the kind. That
there is a looseness about ' the whole affair is
transparent, but sufficient facts have not yet
transpired to prove how much of the property
has been thus disposed of, or who are the par
ties mixed up in the scheme of th wartime the
designs of Hetty. It is a knotty state of thinsrs
at least. Miss Hetty is now in the possession of
more property than t.he knows what to do with,
but her grasping and scltlsh nature naturally
excites a good deal ot gowsip, if not indignation,
in the community in whu-n 6he resides. JVete
