Old Two Gun Bill Leaves Son Out of Fortune Inheritance
Hollywood July 2. William S Hart Jr, 24, refused to discuss his father will, which cuts him out and leaves nearly 1 million to memorial parks in the Western star's name. The 200 acre Hall of Winds estate near Newhall makes up the bulk of the bequest, with other heirs and gifts to clubs and charities. The will indicates Hart Sr provided for him during life but made no further money gifts. The son declined to comment after warm exchanges in probate court and a heavy surprise over the terms. In Dallas, the Federal Reserve burned 14 million in old gold certificates accumulated since 1935.
