Mrs Savin, who left the servants’ quarters on J a unary 1927 to become her employer’s fourth wife, has at iter command eight Rolls Royoes and a staff of 20 servants —her former associates, land has the right to' call the palatial home her own. ' But how long she will remain at ecse in this queenly state is problematical. ior the legal poo has -scarted to l.oil with claims bv former wives, cast-off eli idren and others whom the old! broker left in the wake of his. kaleidoscopic 79 years of life.
