Veiled Lady of the Cats and the Million-Dollar Will
In a six weeks long Los Angeles will contest, Miss Margaret Keith the Veiled Lady of Beverly Hills left an estate valued at one million dollars to a farmer nephew. Neighbors reported a ghost named John haunting her grand music room while stray alley cats swarmed her mansion. Evidence described her reclusiveness a radio telephones and a secret funeral plan with a concert in the room of flowers. The court weighed whether the will was made under unsound mind and the case may be retried.
