Formal legal action has been taken by a number of heirs in New Haven and Waterbury to secure division of an estate valued upwards of $1,000,000 left by James Bell who died intestate in South Africa. Attorneys report sufficient proof to proceed in crown courts, listing heirs including J. F. Dinnan and others on Congress and Lincoln streets, Audubon and State streets. James Bell, once in Ireland, built a mining fortune in South Africa and became a millionaire before his death. The government held the estate until heirs were located, now forwarded to pursuing claims. Bell was a grand uncle to the named heirs.
