FORTUNE’S 3,000 CLAIMANTS
WIDOW’S £3.000,000. PHILADELPHIA, July 23. The courts are trying to disentangle ■the claims of 3,000 people who seek a share of the £3,000,000 fortune of Mrs Henrietta Garrett, widow of the wealthy snuff manufacturer. She died four years ago, aged 80. She left no heirs, and the only will discovered was dated ten years previously. Also it disposed of only some *£12,000. This was bequeathed to friends. The law now requires the remaining vast sum to be distributed. As soon as this fact became known an army of claimants from all parts of the world suddenly appeared, in-
sisting they had close associations with "Mrs Garrett, and are entitled to a large share of her money.
