Marriage Costs Him Millions in Will Battle
New York January 2 Harold Edgar Thomas son of General Samuel Thomas is cut off from his father's will with only income from $100000. General Thomas values his fortune at about $15000000. The will filed for probate at White Plains states Harold is left without further provision due to his noted incapacity to manage his affairs. The estate is to support the widow for life at $100000 yearly while the rest goes to Edward Russell Thomas and Eleanor Nancy Beekman for their lifetimes with passes to their issue. Harold, a once popular Amherst graduate, is described as the black sheep whose derailed life led to a string of affairs and trials that followed his marriage to a young widow after the death of his Kansas City uncle. His estrangement and divorce suit with multiple corespondents ended in a discontinuance to avoid further publicity. Augusta Eleanor Thomas remains with her mother in Zanesville.
