Atlanta heirs challenge will over Barbara Dodd estate
Six relatives appeal Judge Wilkinson s ruling in Fulton County seeking to overturn a will that left Barbara Dodd s fortune mainly to Mercer University and charity after she accused her kin of provoking her ex husband Dr J B Garner with vitriol and plans to maim him. The case centers on the wealthy widow s separation from Garner and alleged insanity claims aimed at disinheriting relatives. The executor Charles B E Currier remains noted, with Mercer University memorials and large charity bequests outlined in the current will.

London June 18 An unusual follow up to the Berkeley hotel burglary in Piccadilly ends with night porter Arthur James under arrest for being involved in stealing 35000 dollars from the hotel safe and for an attempt on the life of fellow porter Gowers.
