GAMBLER'S ESTATE
£726,000 LEFT OF MILLIONS. LONDON, October 26. Major I. A. Coats, member of the cotton spinning family of Paisley, who died of heart failure in his Park Lane flat on July 1, left an estate of £720,000. Major Coats divided a fortune of £4,000,000, left by his father, with one brother. He was a heavy gambler, and lost colossal sums in 1930, when he yielded to his relatives' pleading to give it up. On one occasion he lost £80,000 in a night at Deauville.
