(Lucky) Baldwin, came to a close. … Mrs. Castro … asks the jury to find her the secret daughter of Mrs. Howard--then Lucky Baldwin’s young wife--who left her with Lydia and Silas Braffet on a small Agenda ranch 15 days after her birth Oct. 14, 1899. Should the jury determine that Mrs. Castro is Mrs. Howard’s daughter, the plump petitioner can demand half of her “mother’s” $443,000 estate. …
