!REFERENCE: 09-Jul-1940 Nevada State Journal1203, "Superior Judge William S. Baird today ruled as insufficient evidence upon which Mrs. Mary Alice Castro, 41-year-old Santa Maria, Cal., rancher's wife, obtained a jury verdict finding her to be the daughter of late Mrs. Lilly Baldwin Howard. Judge Baird granted a defense motion for a new trial. Plumpish Mrs. Castro had sought to establish her claim to a daughter's share of Mrs. Howard's $443,000 estate. Mrs. Howard was the fourth and last wife of the late Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin, California and Nevada bonanza king. Trial of Mrs. Castrow's case ran three weeks last April. She submitted entries in a family Bible and a letter purportedly written by Mrs. Howard placing her as a baby in the care of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Braffet of Salinas, CA."
