Citrus: Citrus digest

INVERNESS -- A hearing scheduled for today in the Ted Williams case was postponed and rescheduled for Nov. 6. Lawyers for the baseball legend's older daughter, Bobby-Jo Williams Ferrell, said the delay was caused by a scheduling conflict. Circuit Judge Patricia Thomas is expected to rule at the Nov. 6 hearing on a motion filed by Ferrell's half-siblings, who are asking the court to throw out on technical grounds Ferrell's claim to her father's body. Ferrell is seeking to have her father's body cremated and the ashes spread over the coast of Florida. Ted Williams' body is currently at a cryonics lab in Arizona.
