(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. … Lucky Baldwin, in suit and hat, and 4th wife Lily Bennett Baldwin, in dark dress and hat, both seated outdoors on wooden bench, on dirt area near lawn, with trees in background Edge of another photograph showing a tree, two women, and a child visible at right; top edges of 2 more photographs visible at bottom Photograph of print Text from negative sleeve: Baldwin, Lucky.
