Hill's Big Fortune Still in Vaults in California
Judge James A Hixon returns from California pursuing Americus heirs of Jamon Hill who died in Los Angeles leaving 142500 in treasury notes now held by a public administrator awaiting court order. He argues the deceased is James Hill of Americus Ga, not Salem Charles of Brimfield Mass, and cites bank and hotel signature records and statements to support the claim. Massachusetts supporters have weak evidence like an old Bible and two shirts bearing initials. The case hinges on final hearing in Los Angeles courts with administration likely within a year.
