Mammoth Detroit Estate Left to Slain Nephew in Will
A Detroit probate filing leaves half of a five million dollar estate to Alfred Williams, the man murdered last November along with his mother Ada K Williams. Frederick B. Gray, 90, who died Wednesday, was unable to learn of the deaths. Williams and his mother were killed in their northwest side home on November 30. The will, to be examined January 14 before Probate Judge Thomas C. Murphy, names Gray’s ward Mrs. Fanny Conway and Williams’s mother as beneficiaries, with details on primary and secondary heirs. The estates total about 76 thousand dollars and prompt determination of which death occurred first is needed for disposal. Police have not solved the killings.

Dr P H Brevens of the Wichita farm credit district says the average Kansas family-size farm costs 50000 to 100000 and yields about 2500 annually. He noted many small farmers cannot afford modern machinery and are selling out at nearly 2000 a year.
