Mystery of Dexter Will Disappearance Seizes Cincinnati
In Cincinnati a case grows around a letter from the late John Dexter to attorney J. B. McLemore alleging a will in a desk envelope. Dexter named Miss Fariss of Columbia and Phintias Lodge as beneficiaries with the rest to his mother, and left the safe combination with instructions. Papers were moved after his death by Cordage Co officials to Mrs Dexter at the Galt House. Authorities seek who signed the will and why Dexter came to Cincinnati.
