A Chicago woman seeks to stop Wells Fargo from paying $10,000 to Jacob Baar after Eugene Rawlson’s death. Rawlson’s heirs, Frank W. Rawlson and Mrs Lewena Rawlson of Hillsdale Michigan, obtained an injunction via Judge Jamieson to restrain payment. Baar, who possessed Rawlson’s papers, claims ownership. Eggert Hallestelle also asserts an interest. A prior similar suit by a West Side Jewish woman prompted Citizens’ Association action and Murry Nelson’s move to confiscate the prize under state law.
