HIS FOURTH WIFE
CZECHO SLOVAKIAN SERVANT LEFT HI2SE FORTUNE Pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copy-right. NEW YORK, January 2. A former Czecho-Slovakian immi grant, a chambermaid who made Dcda and swept floors in the mansion ot Mr Frank W. Savin, a retired broker, at Port Chester, three years ago, is mistress to-day of his fortune of £5,000,000, as the result of bin death from appendicitis on Tuesday. Mrs Savin, who left the servants’ quarters in January, 1927, to become her employer’s fourth wife, has at her command eight Rolls-Royce cars and a staff of twenty servants, her former associates, and the right to call the palatial home her own; but how long sho will remain at ease in this queenly state is problematical, for the legal pot has started to boil witn claims by former wives and cast-off children and others whom the old broaer left 'in the wake of his kaleidoscopic seventy-nine years of life. Savin was head of a brokerage company in New York, anti more than thirty years ago he bouijht a seat on the Exchange for 5,000c101, and when he retired he sold it for 475,000d01. In addition to the millions ho piled up during the palmy days of the stock market he-held extensive' tracts of Long Island real estate.
