Fortune King will dispute ends in Rhode Island court
A New York surrogate denied Mrs. Eugenia Ross letters of administration to the estate of William H. King. The will case centers on identity and legitimacy after King amassed a fortune in China and died in Providence, with Rhode Island courts already ruling against Ross and ancillary letters likely issued to George Gordon King and Sarah K. Birckhead. The value of the estate is reported between 20 and 30 million dollars.
