Wants Fortune Claims Descent From Norton
From relatives of Madame Nordica it is learned she has placed with ex Speaker Thomas B Reed and another attorney a claim for between 3 and 4 million dollars. She asserts she is a direct descendant and heir of Isaac Norton, a wealthy New England ship owner whose ships and cargoes were seized by French vessels during the revolutionary era. The government is said to have paid indemnity to Norton’s heirs, but Nordica contends the amount was underpaid.
