		In 1904 a five-act tragedy, The Duchess of Padua, written by Wilde about 1883 for Mary Anderson, but not acted by her, was published in a German translation (Die Herzogin von Padua, translated by Max Meyerfeld) in Berlin.

	Estate of Wilde
		ESTATE OF ELINOR M. [¶1] Taylor L. Wilde, the personal representative of the estate of William W. Wilde, appeals from the judgment of the Lincoln County Probate Court (Berry, J.) determining the amount of the debt owed by William's estate to the estate of Elinor M. Wilde.
		It is undisputed that William, as the personal representative of Elinor's estate, breached his fiduciary duty by failing to settle and distribute the estate pursuant to the terms of her probated will.
		The proper measure of damages for the breach of William's fiduciary duties was therefore either the profit that accrued during William's unlawful retention of the assets, or the value the assets would have attained had they been placed in the hands of a prudent person acting as trustee of the Family Trust.
