1 MONEY FOUND IN
SPINSTERS’ BOOKS
SOLD AT AUCTION
. WINCHESTER, Va , Dec. 6.
Spirited bidding today followed the
discovery yesterday of ten and twen
ty-dollar bank notes in books that
sold for twenty-five and thirty cents
at the public auction of the contents
of the home of the late Misses Shu
mate, where thousands of dollars
have been found in virtually every
I nook and corner of the premises.
I When the last of the three spin
i ster sisters died several weeks ago,
! executors of her estate found over
SIO,OOO in gold and notes in various
! recesses, and after what they
I thought was a thorough search were
i satisfied they had uncovered all as
sets. YVithin a xveek, however, more
gold ana paper aggregating over $5,-
! 000 were found, and since then vir
tually everything that has been
! moved has been found to secrete
I hidden treasurers. YY r . Taylor Wall
; paid thirty cents for the first book
j sold at the auction yesterday, and
! on opening it found a $lO note be
tween the pages. Turning over a
few more leaves, Mr. YVall found a
S2O bill, and from then on there
was a general clamor for all books
■ and everything else that could con
tain valuables. Purchasers of other
books also reported finding currency.
Although there was some antique
furniture in the home, most of the
household property was not of any
particular period design, but all sold
at fancy figures because of the pos
sibility each piece contained secret
drawers or other -ecesses in which
xvealth could be hidden. Speculative
values, those in charge of the sale
said, are being placed on virtually
everything in the spirited bidding by
persons of many points in Virginia,
Maryland and the District of Colum
bia.

Sues Undertaker and
Hospital for Burying
Wife in His Absence
SHREVEPORT, La., .Dec. 6.—-Ben
Salazar, of Oil City, La., filed suit in
district court today against the
Shreveport Chairty hospital and
Mack Wellman, local undertaker for
$25,000 .charging his wife was buried
without his knowledge or consent
and that she was buried in a pau
per’s grave when he was not notified
of his wife’s death. The plaintiff
also filed suit in the name of five
minor children.
The petition alleges that the plain
tiff left his wife on the night of
June 25, 1924, ai the Charity hos
pital to go to Oil City for four of
the children, she having expressed
desire, to see them. He returned with
the children at 2 o’clock the follow
ing day, to learn at the hospital that
his wife had died a short time after
he left her, that her body had been
turned over to YVellman, and the
body already interred. Salazer, in
the petition, claims his wife gave
her name and address and that of
her husband when she entered thg
charity hospital; that he visited heit
each day for five days there and was
well known to the attendants. He
claims that he has lived in Oil City
for seven years and could easily have
been found had any attempt been
made to communicate with hirn.
