Summa questioned on second purported Hughes will
Las Vegas reports say Hughes Tool Co officials know nothing about a second handwritten will dated June 22 1969 addressed to Summa Corp. The envelope bears Hughes Tool Co. logo yet Summa says it had no formal ties to Hughes Tool at that time. The will outlines divisions for medical and educational groups and lists nine social security numbers as beneficiaries. Judge Hayes will decide authenticity with another hearing set for May 21.
