Romance and murder touch Mexican estate suit
A New York supreme court suit follows the murder of Albert H. Lawrence in Mexico. His sisters claim $20,000 from his estate, asserting a loan by their mother was assigned to them, while the lavish fortune shrank from $3,000,000 to $1,500,000 amid a shipboard romance and revolution. Dora Caton guides a burglar to a police station with a hatpin in New York.
