Longley to Get Chance to Prove Relationship
Chicago, Dec 29 George Adair Green Longley is given another chance to prove he is the son and heir of Albert W Longley millionaire bar maker. Three appellate judges remanded the case for retrial saying a previous verdict was unjust. Longley, claiming a share of a $1,000,000 estate, says his birth preceded his father’s marriage to Albert W Longley’s first wife. The Mendelian eye color theory sparked the case years ago, but the judge ruled it irrelevant to the decision and noted his mother may be Alice Hall, Albert W Longley’s first wife.
