MONEY AND A LEG
Authors under fire are still in a position to remark that truth is stranger than fiction. A former New York business man, dying in Switzerland, left his whole estate in the form of eighty-eight. 1000-dollar bills hidden in his wooden leg. The official administering the estate was himself in need of a wooden leg and decided to purchase the deceased's artificial limb at the sale of his assets. .Trying on ihe leg for a fit, the official pressed a hidden spring and the money tumbled out. It is all part of a probate court record.
