Tragedy in Kentucky and Weightman Estate Controversy
In Lyneville Kentucky West Wilson and Arthur West killed each other while a stray shot killed Mark Wilson. William Weightman the talillonsire manufacturing chemist left a 60 million dollar estate to his second wife, while other heirs contend unsound mind and undue influence. A Jamaican Bay fertilizer plant fire destroyed fertilizer stocks. Brooklyn and New York fire forces failed to save buildings. Chicago reports higher mortality linked to heat with 33 more deaths under age five. Representative Goulden of New York accused Albany senators of insurance money influence, noting gains from Penn Mutual Life.
